Sipdown! I’m going to miss this one. I just chugged down the remaining jug of cold brew after a late night interval session on the treadmill. First time I’ve been on it in nearly two months since I’ve been away from the rural home, and the gym at my mom’s apartment in the city is currently shut down for renovations, so it feels good to get back into it.
So now it’s melon-packed cold brew and banana with Greek yogurt time, accompanied by a side of Mogwai: Ratts of the Capital awesomeness. Now I’m thinking of that time I missed out on seeing them when they were in Vancouver a couple years ago. Sigh.

Mogwai, cold-brew, and yoghurt – sounds like a pretty ideal time to me :D
(Have you never seen them live, then? I recommend it so much – they’re a really fantastic live band! Not an awful lot of interaction, but the music just comes alive.)
No I haven’t, which makes it all the more painful! They never play in the cities I’ve been living in, and never have the time to travel to wherever they do end up playing.
It sounds a lot like many post-rock concert experiences, which is great anyway. Red Sparowes ended up being one of the greatest bands I’ve ever seen live, despite the lack of audience interaction, simply because of the sound. Wow, it was simply incredible. What other bands are you a huge fan of, or have you loved seeing live?
Awh, that’s a real shame! I do deffo recommend them, if a chance comes up in future :D
The Red Sparowes gig sounds amazing :D I’m really into my prog rock/metal bands, and I’ve seen a whole lot of technical metal, death metal, and general “other” bands… Other than Mogwai I think highlights have to be Tesseract, The Safety Fire, Opeth, and System of a Down! The other one I really loved seeing (heh) were Fleetwood Mac, earlier this year – they may all be pushing 70, but I tell you: they’ve deffo still got it! Amazing gig :D
Oh Opeth, I just found my hoodie in the back of my closet the other day. Hey, nothing wrong with a little Fleetwood Mac haha.
Ah, nice :D They (Opeth) put on an absolutely cracking “greatest hits” set when we went to see them, which was all I could ask for :P Same with FM – it was a 2 hour+ spectacular with just about every notable song in the Buckingham-Nicks era! :D
