I just got back from seeing Pulp.  What a privilege to see them reunited and touring for the first time in twenty four years.  It was epic as expected and maybe a top 20-25 ever concert for me.

 I managed to get out to something pretty much for the first time since a pinched nerve on my left side derailed the majority of my summer.  I went to the Haim concert at the Mann Center.  They were touring behind their new album, "I Quit," and the stage set up and everything going on in the background reflected that theme with lists of goofy and serious things that they quit.  It was particularly saucy of them to have their sign flash "I QUIT CLOTHES" during the song "All Over Me."  I think it is likely that they enjoy being the subject of many a man's fantasies, though they did announce that Este got engaged.  

A lot has been talked about regarding how an all Jewish-girl band has with an Israeli dad has remained silent on Israel/Palestine.  Glad it stayed that way last night.  They were just there to have fun and play great songs.  

I think they had at least two more songs in them, but it was storming, so they ended the encore a bit short, without playing "Now I'm In It" and "Down to Be Wrong."  Still, I enjoyed the mix of old and new material.
