the tourist traps

asking the lead singer of black rebel motorcycle club for advice on band names is sort of like asking helen keller to paint your portrait. but that's what we did the other night. well, mani did because he's the one with the nameless band. i just told him it was a good show and then suffered from a severe case of second-hand embarrassment* when another person in our group decided to bring up radiohead. that was our cue to leave.

could someone do a scientific study on why guitar players are so attractive? seriously. i would help but unfortunately i'm susceptible to the phenomenon myself, and i can't collect data when i'm swooning.


*this term refers to feeling embarrassed on behalf of someone else who is doing something foolish. it's the reason why i avoid watching american idol, or any high school talent show.
