why do I do at bands that I like?
I went to watch Death Cab For Cutie a few years ago in Manchester (just after they released 'Transatlantacisim' pop-facters). Going straight from work I hit the alcoholic beverages quite hard up until the show. During the show the guitarist was trying to get his head around why there is 'Chester' in lots of places in the UK (It was due to the Romans BTW, but I digress), seeing this man explaining his theory on stage and then including Leicester in the 'Chester' list I lost it and shouted "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND PLAY THE GUITAR!!". Now, I dont know if youve ever shouted at a sensitive indie soul, but I imagine the reaction would be quite simalar to his. There was no retort to quell this drunken English monstrosity in the audience, he just looked at his shoes and actually looked like he was GOING TO CRY, and said meekly "Well......I just wanted to know....."

I. Felt. Like. Shit. after that.... probably ruined the gig for a whole lot of people there.

The week after I forgot about all that 'badness'...until I went to one of the many 'indie' clubs in Manchester when I started to chat to a girl I knew
"Oh, you went to the Death Cab gig too?!?" Says I

"Yeah, but did you hear that dickhead that shouted at the guitarist?"

Me "Eeerr...funny story about that"

Length: It wouldnt matter, I didnt get some anyway.
