to all we stretch the open arm
Feb. 4th, 2007 02:08 pmI can't decide what to do so I'm drinking chocolate milk. I went to a pretty glacial concert on....Thursday! It felt at first like we weren't going to get in because who knows what those college kids we bought our tickets from over the phone have been smoking, and we got there late (on purpose), and how easy is it to enter ice? Not very. It worked out. Man, it was great. It was a feminist concert. Person, it was great! Something similar to this happened at the concert, actually. The opening act was Scream Club, the #1 lesbian feminist rap funk dance duo group. Grandmothers of the movement. I bought their t-shirt after the concert. It is glamorous and too small. Every member of the audience had experimental hair.
The main act was Mirah.
She's in our collective Top 10. She's the #1 herself. According to what happens when I type "mirah" in the URL bar of Firefox, Mirah has a big homo heart, is modest and deliberate, prefers privacy to invasion and reconciliation to war. Her middle name means good day or holy day in Hebrew. I read somewhere and can't stop remembering that she is "a terrific songwriter when she bothers to finish her songs." I don't care to meet the person, poisonous and frustrated, who said this. But it is true that most of Mirah's songs are very short. 2 minutes, plus or minus.
It was a good concert. Her songs are full of small ironies. Of this I am unsure, not really knowing what I mean by it. I wasn't left wanting. I woke up a couple times. It's possible that I never would have been able to see Mirah in concert, since she has been on hiatus for the last recent while. Instead I saw her concert for $7 on Thursday, and it was terrific. It was just such a glacier, flattening, holding, tinting, teething, falling over.
