"Everyone’s dying but girl you’re not old yet." - Step (via lyricsofvampireweekend)
Popped into the Armageddon Shop near Harvard Square last Wednesday and was more than pleasantly surprised to find a stack of these sitting pretty on a shelf I almost walked right past. Obviously one should note these are the original posters for the original release date. I’ve noticed a meager amount of fools who think this gives them some great monetary value and have been hawking them on E-bay for around $30! I’m sure they’ll be sitting there for a while too. The fine folks at Armageddon are passing these on free for the taking. If you are in the Boston area step just outside of Cambridge’s Harvard Square (Eliot St.) and grab one for yourself.
"Occasionally people try to call us out as this overwrought, intellectual music but if you’ve ever really been out to one of our shows or met some of our fans, I can think of a lot more overwrought, intellectual music. Of course, we have an intellectual side — we’re not ashamed of it — but I think you can make heady music that doesn’t require footnotes, that doesn’t have to alienate people. You can be as intellectual as you want to be about your music but still connect with people who don’t share your set of references." - Ezra Koenig (via thestar.com)

The actual setlist from the May 15th show at Agganis arena, Boston, that I attended. Obvious to those who were there, technical difficulties caused some disruptions and changes to the original setlist. But there was not a single complaint from me as I got to hear Ladies of Cambridge live! And heard Run, which was not a part of the original set-list. Despite not having the charm of hearing a song from the new album premiered in Boston, I was pleased to hear so many of the warm, familiar, old favorites. Had an amazing time - and though a review of the show stated that no one was really dancing they just “shuffled to the beat”, I assure you I was dancing. I even attempted a nice little shimmy and twist perfect for the baroque pop-ska flavorings of Ladies of Cambridge.
