~molten words, on ttbp

Concerts are the best.

Met up with some old friends and went to see Broken Social Scene last night.

It was a really nice show. That band always seem like they're having such a good time on stage. They featured the best songs off their new album, but mostly focused on You Forgot It In People (my favorite). They played all the hits and even a couple unexpected instrumental tracks. The new album is called Hug of Thunder, which I think is a good description of their sound. Not many bands can really handle having four guitars onstage at once, but for Broken Social Scene it's perfect.

There's a feeling I get sometimes when I'm leaving a concert. The words I think of are "life affirming" but I don't know if that really captures it. It's like, I got to share in a joyous experience with a group of people, and we might never see each other again, but the experience unites us.

There's also another feeling I get the morning after a great concert, but that's easier to name: hangover.
