TUESDAY NIGHT PARTY: SANTOGOLD, THE TING TINGS, MATES OF STATE, ALICE SMITH, AND LOW VS. DIAMOND AT THE WILTERN

It went OFF tonight at The Wiltern. Santogold's set was a blast. If I was undecided about what to wear on Halloween, watching her backup dancers solved that problem pretty quickly. Anyone who is smart, traveling in a group of 3 on Halloween weekend, lives near an American Apparel store, and can replicate NASA gear out of household items should do the same. Anyway, it was like a party in Kingston if Kingston was in a Pixar movie being shot in space. AND I found out that Santi was allegedly involved in one of my favorite records ever, Res' "How I Do" (iTunes). Talk about a one stop shop of delightfulness.

The Ting Tings had a Separate But Equal find-yourself-bouncing-and-clapping-and-slow-motion-white-boy-breakdance-attempting effect. Good thing for me (I think) "looking" and "feeling" foolish are like R and V on the spectrum.

Great prologue for what's to transpire tomorrow night...
