The Sounds of Silence

Last night, after the Tapes 'n Tapes show at the Filmore, we walked through Union Square, stumbling upon one of the more interesting sights I have seen in New York: an iPod dance party. There were probably 40 people, each dancing to his or her own music in complete silence.






We walked on to find a real dance party happening a few feet away. Just some guys with a crappy boom box and a circle. These guys were pretty good; in fact, some of them rocked some serious ballet-type hip hop moves.

As for Tapes 'n Tapes, I left disappointed. It was the first show I've ever been to with no encore. The band left the stage, and the lights went on immediately. The lead singer mentioned that he was a little under the weather, so maybe that's the reason. I really liked the Filmore; it was a great place to see a show, and the drummer from the band was great.
