~molten words, on ttbp



25 april 2018

Last night I went to a Stephen Wilson concert with a friend from work. It was kind of weird, being someone at a show who didn't know any of the music, where everyone else in the audience was singing along with the songs.

Makes me wonder, if in some parallel universe, I had discovered Porcupine Tree when I was in high school, and they became my favorite band. Then the concert would have been a religious experience, instead of several hours of mild boredom, and a sore back from standing in one place. My friend was really into it, so I'm glad he had a good time. Usually I'm the one dragging people to see a band that I love but they've never heard of, and it was kind of weird being on the other side of that situation.

Also had Ethiopian food for the first time. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but the beef was chewy as hell, and I couldn't really enjoy it, even though the flavor was interesting. The pancake/bread was good though.
