squeequegI have now had my first cavity filled. Yes, siblings, I am dentally flawed. But keep in mind that I'm still the only one of us with 20/20 vision.

sen_no_ongaku's assessment of last night's concert, viz., the Dresden Dolls fucking rock. As do the Reverend Glasseye and His Wooden Legs. The other band in the show, Devil in the Kitchen, was good but a little monotonous. Fiddle music + metal can rule, but the set wasn't varied enough to hold my attention. Plus the mega bass kept drowning out the fiddle. (And I kept wondering how the fiddler, who had abundant blond hair, could headbang without getting said hair caught in his strings.)
I'd only seen the Reverend live once before, providing the soundtrack for a silent movie at the Coolidge Corner theater. The performance was much different; the Reverend's stage presence is very powerful when he isn't effacing himself to make room for the movie. The whole band was enthusiastic.
The drummer of the Dolls kept his shirt off the whole time. More bands need aesthetically pleasing drummers. The singer's gorgeous too, but she was on the other side of the stage. There was also a burlesque show on stage with them for one number -- real burlesque, too. I remember thinking "they're not gonna take that off too, are they? Oh...they are. Wow." They also played a song I hadn't heard before, called just "Boston," I think, and it was so beautiful.
We also saw a guy wearing clown shoes. Plain suit, slacks, and bright red-and-yellow clown shoes. This made me very very happy.
