The Critical Asshole: Listening to...

I thought a lot about it today.

I waited in line that spanned past Eddie V’s to see the second half of She & Him at Cedar Street Courtyard (hipsters fucking cut in line like no one’s business) and I had an angry conversation about 500 Days of Summer.

As much accolade as idiot white kids give M. Ward, I still think he’s an incredibly underrated guitarist and songwriter.  I think She & Him is an avenue for him to bring more believers into the fold and it upsets me to a certain degree that Deschanel seems to get most of the attention (though it seemed like the crowd at Cedar Street Street gave Him the loudest welcome).

Such is life, and such is the gender dynamic.

Ducked into 6 Taproom on Colorado to see Joey Ryan.  I went up to tell him that I hated him because he was so good.  Goddamn, I love SXSW.
