Hmm, some interband tension going on but who really gives a fuck when there's stuff like The Magic Numbers live

Went to see Mara & The Scaras (now there's a name for a band...) do a set of Joy Division in Semifinal on Saturday. Funny experience to see a rather sunny psychedelic pop band suddenly transform into something completely different and perform some of the grimmest and most desperate music ever. Like watching the band in an alternative timeline where they had taken a couple of steps to different direction. And they did it real well, too. Respect! (as Ali G would say)

Perhaps this is what bands should do from time to time. Not play Joy Division, I mean that they should do something completely different from time to time. Someone should start a regular Club NotFuckingLikely, where a couple of bands would play music that would be fully uncharacteristic to them. Streetcar plays Mötörhead? Erm, nevermind.
