I don't feel the need to comment on every show I attend, but I saw Belle And Sebastian with The New Pornographers last night at the Wiltern, and it was really great. I can't remember seeing a show where the opening act was such a good one. I've been listening to both of those bands a lot lately, so it was a very appropriate bill for me. I noticed a couple of peripheral things.
I was enjoying The New Pornographers' set very much, and about halfway through, It occurred to me that the faint yet distinct odor of chocolate cake baking had begun to permeate the venue at some point. Naturally, this smell had subconsciously put me in a relatively blissful state, and I had sort of flashed back to Saturday-morning-cartoon/Mom-baking-in-the-kitchen mode. I resolved to find a way to harness this smell and bestow it upon the audience at the next The Gold State show to enhance their enjoyment.
I also noticed, and this is not a good or bad thing, that there were not that many black people there.
