I saw Broken Social Scene last Wednesday. I like them a lot. Other bands I see give off vibes of hopeful defeat, sort of "the world sort of sucks right now, but we have each other." BSS is different for me. They feel so much more optimistic, like "the world sucks right now, but we're already stronger than them. We've already won the war even if they won a battle."

This was my first time seeing them with Ariel Engle as the only female vocalist. She killed it, even or maybe especially on songs that aren't "hers," like Hug Of Thunder.

I'm really glad I went. The show felt good.
