I love KEXP
Wow, I'm actually posting something that happened today! I woke up extra early to go to Gigantic Studios in Tribeca because KEXP is in town this week and me and Pete signed up to see French Kicks and Ambulance, LTD. I would have signed up for We Are Scientists if I knew they were playing but I got to see them anyway! We met at 8:30 at Bubby's for breakfast and headed over after. Fk had some technical difficulties so they didn't start until 10:30. Each band played for half an hour, way too short, in my opinion! After their set, we walked around for a bit and stopped into this flea market type place and discovered this gem:
It was overpriced at $100 or else it would have gone home with Pete. We went back into the studios and Ambulance, LTD played on time. They were actually done in 20 minutes! Darn it! The wonderful KEXP lady said I could come back to see We Are Scientists! Yay! After grabbing some bubble tea with Pete, he went off to meet a relative at MOMA and I went to meet Tammy for some soup dumplings (which, btw, was not up to par today).
I went back to see WAS and they started on time too. From the promo pictures I've seen of them, I knew they were going to be cut-ups, they were funny and entertaining and really awesome! Definitely my favorite of the day. The light was hitting Chris, the bass player, perfectly and was the only picture of any bands I took today. They played a full 30 minutes and I was happy all the way home. Why, oh why doesn't New York have a station like KEXP???

What a fun day. I'm up for going back to Bubby's at any time, so you just let me know when you're hankering for some mac & cheese and pie.
And thanks for posting the shot of the painting. Imagine if I had walked in MoMA carrying that thing? LOL
