Manders played a show at the Fillmore last night and since MK would dodge traffic to score tix (sadly, she still can't dodge a ball...), I got a hold of a girl I know and got us in. The minute we arrived I was handed proof that it's a small GD world because I ran smack into one of the marketing girls I worked under when I interned at JANE in college. She's serving as MM's tour manager now and I was immediately propelled into the NY nostalgia I had so successfully shaken.
The show was really great. She's got a new sound, an underestimated voice, and looked like she was having a blast. The highlight was mos def the cover of Rihanna's Umbrella and a silky smooth rendition of her saccharin sweet first single Candy, which sent the crowd into an overdose. Naturally MK and I managed to remember all the words which we belted out like secret shames were the new declarations of cool. I had also just consumed three Sierra Nevadas in about 20 minutes so I was feeling pretty frisky. It probably explains how I didn't realize I was on the incorrect camera function when snapping the pic below. Tho I dare say it came out pretty cool.
