It was really great that I met a lot of people from everywhere in the world and hung out with my friends who played there.There are tons of things I want to write here but it could be annoying or boring for you,so I'll write down what I saw and paste some YouTube I took and put up.

U S G I R L S

I finally finished editing movies I took last Saturday and burnt it onto DVD-R.There is only a few disks now and then.It's just a private thing for AIDS Wolf and U.S. Girls.But you can obviously watch some parts of it on YouTube,actually I put the very first part up an hour ago.Here you go.

G U N O U T F I T

From Olympia,Washington,much known as the place where K Records is located at,new young trio Gun Outfit has come out and purely play their own Lo-Fi sound that would remind you of Dinosaur Jr and Meat Puppets and/or any other bands in 90s.

A few weeks back their debut full length Dim Light was released on PPM,which Dean,No Age,runs constantly.I got it as soon as it was stocked at a record store,unfortunately,I couldn't listen to yet because I have no turntable here in Toronto.So downloading six demo songs on their website,they don't have MySpace,and one song,which will be one of the best songs this year for sure,at SXSW webpage is the only way for me to listen to their songs right now.Those seven songs are perfectly impressive enough to tempt me to the purchase of LP even it's impossible to listen to it here.

Gun Outfit is going to play some shows at SXSW so I must get crazy.

I think there are tons of things to write here before this post,but I can't help myself but do this.

Last night was the second time to see AIDS Wolf in my entire life,it's not long though.

I knew they came to play in Toronto in January after it finished.

Can you guess how mush I regretted???

Anyway,there were 4 bands playing last night and no one played bass!

It might make you think it weird or something wrong there,but you know it must be cool,especially for me.

First band called Heavens played,in my opinion,shoegaze sound added more noise.

The combination of the girl and boy singers were really nice.

Second was Thrashed Genes,I saw them once before,which was a show of The Chinese Stars and An Albatross last October.

I like their sounds,however,nothing special for me,unfortunately.

U.S. Girls was the third,but "I never get ready." she said to me before she got READY.

The show was a beautiful 20-minutes blast.

"I'm going to try to play 15 minutes tonight." she said when I told her that I had heard her show was only 8 minutes,and she did.

The last was,of course,AIDS Wolf.

I can't say anything but amazing.

Audience were moshing violently during the show,it was really fun though.

I just,yes,just enjoyed it and filmed all songs except the third song and took some pictures of the great show.

After the show I talked to Chloe,vocalist of AIDS Wolf,about SXSW,blog things and C.Y.M..

She recognized that I was a person who left a comment on their blog a few weeks back,which made me so glad.

They are going to play 9 shows at SXSW so I'm going to see them at one or more of them for sure.

I'm so excited!!!
