Dec. 23rd, 2006 08:57 amMost bizzare Sarah Slean concert review ever: http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-12-21/music_livereviews.php
They've also trendified the colours in their photos which is just silly.
I sort of like the review. If only because it focuses on the charming aspects of being a wee bit odd... While a few people have jumped on this review as being an attack I don't think it is. She got 4/5 'N's' for the concert, clearly it was enjoyed. Also, most people who I've brought to see Sarah Slean perform for the first time do think she's a bit strange. My favourite recollection of this:
*after she finishes playing Eliot*
me (turns to friend) : so? do you like her?
friend: you do know she's insane right?
me: yes. but do you like her.
friend: she's amazing!
It's that creative insanity that makes her all the more interesting I think. I never feel like I'm at the same show twice (even when I'm there two nights in a row) and my observation on the small part of humanity that I know is that the most talented creative people also often are "weird" but they are the interesting ones. Heck by the time I was 12 I'd labled myself as "eccentric" because everyone kept saying that I was weird, so perhaps this makes me biased in my opinions. ;)
