me'shell's show last night was a little bit of a letdown. it opened with chocolate genius, who i've tried to like and just can't yet, and his songs were creeping me out: one was a play on cannibalism (why go there?) and another copied that "drink your bathwater" line. he does have a nice black rocker voice, though, so i see potential. by the time me'shell came on stage, it was midnight on a tuesday night, it was crowded and dark and we'd been standing for an hour, and so when mos def crept up behind us and then crept on stage and joined her, i was happy, but then when the white chick with her hair in a sideways ponytail got up and started getting all dead can dancey off-key, i was sad. i thought about my warm bed all alone at home.
