um lets not discuss the fact that I went to this ok? Click here for Courtneys super nice take on it

Little Boots
So good! She was adorable and fun and hyper and British and extra cute. Courtney calls her Lykke Li on crack and she had a tenori! She successfuly pumped up the crowd of mostly gays and 19 yr olds that madethe dancefloor look like a highschool dance. The djs preceding her got better 4 songs before her and seriously studio b, lower your drink prices you are not in the meatpacking district or selling yummy specialty drinks. It is not ok to charge $9 for a vodka shot. Click here for pics via Brooklyn Vegan

Beirut
Oh Zach Condon how I love thee. I thought you were amazing at that show in Central Park but somehow you outdid yourself. The orchestra and the acoustics and your general cuteness made my heart melt. Your band members look like, in the words of Alia, "geeks who got cute haircuts" and if you closed your eyes you'd image someone much older singing and playing that music, but once you opened them you realize everyone on stage [minus maybe the drummer who looked like 30 from where we were sitting] seemed to be in their early to mid 20s with Zach being only 22. Sigh. Click here for pics via Brooklyn Vegan.

This week theres:

• Razorlight
• Lissy Trullie [WHY DOES SHE STILL PLAY SHOWS?! barf.]
• Fiasco
• Clap Your Hands Say Yeah [Doubt this is gonna happen]
• Xavier de Rosnay/Busy P
• Los Campesinos!
• The Virgins

Lets see which of these I get to go to.

On another musical note, M.I.A., Coldplay, Radiohead, Pink, Maroon 5, Daft Punk, Hot Chip, Brazilian Girls, Kings of Leon, The Mars Volta, Mötley Crüe, Slipknot, The Raconteurs, Beck, Death Cab For Cutie, Luis Fonsi, Tommy Torres, Juanes, Voltio, Rakim y Ken-y, Wisin y Yandel,Flight of the Conchords, and Justice were either nominated or won grammys last night.

Is this just surprising to me cause I havent been in the grammy loop for like 3 years? Cause when I read this I was like WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!? This is sort of awesome? But not really? Pretty much.
