the english fucking channel

status check - dazed
background ambiance - ben lee's stuck in my head

so ... ok, here goes. i've been to some random shows. i've been to some RANDOM shows.

but i think ben lee's set at nectar's takes top prize for randomness. in a hilarious, brilliant sort of way. i think.

until i can get the whole experience written up ala review for work (and thus provide a link here), i'll leave you with this bit.

with two songs left in his set, the already-certifiably insane ben lee decides that we all need to go outside for the end of the show. he stands on a car hood to play, keeps going on about how we're soldiers crossing the english channel and, once a cop car stops by the car on which he's standing, he waves and says, "soldiers! english channel!" and the cop drives on.

the best part is that i had a hilarious time at the show and discovered that i loved his music at the same time. all in all, a most random success.
