O, Passion Pit! What have you done with yourselves? Your falsettoly, electronic blippy selves? You were one of my favorite bands last year. Manners and Chunk of Change were wonderful releases. The time I saw you last August at the Unitarian Church was one of the best times I've ever had, evah. I made the fatal error of buying tickets to see you at the Mannly Center 1.5 weeks ago. I couldn't resist. I saw "Passion Pit at the Mannly Center" and it was CLICK-BUY before I could even think. And then, almost instantly, I thought. There was no way this show was going to be as good as last year. Why? Because it was at a larger venue and you are not as relevant as you were a year ago when your album came out. How would your show be different this time? Would you have new material? Would the crowd be THAT much bigger? Most importantly, would it be a sweaty dance orgy? I really wanted it to be an orgy.
From the moment I exited my motorcarriage, I knew it would be different. There were people tailgating. I mean real tailgating, people with lawn games and grills. Now don't get me wrong, I love lawn games and grills. I just love them at Phillies games and in my backyard and at the beach, not at a Passion Pit concert. As we walked into the Mannly Center, I was instantly reminded of Epcot, a far cry from the basement which housed your performance the last time you were in Philadelphia. There were stands that sold beer for $9 dollars. I would have been drunk for $9 dollars if you had played at the Church. The worst part of it all, though-ASSIGNED SEATS. How could you tolerate such a thing? As I previously stated, your music is enjoyed best when there is a sweaty dance orgy taking place. It's very difficult for me to pull off my whiteboy dance moves when I have to worry about stumbling and falling onto the concertgoers below.
Once you came on the stage, all of this would be erased, right? It would be like last summer, right? EHHHHH. It wasn't. There wasn't an orgy. People were just yelling for "Sleepyhead." EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Oh wait, you did play a new song though. Cool. Oh wait, nope, that was a Cranberries song.
Seriously fellas, you sort of lost a fan here. I realize it was me who made the mistake by buying the tickets. I should've been more careful. But you should've been more carefuller too. Why would you let your people book a venue like that? Are you really an outdoor, seated venue band? The Electric Factory or TLA would've been a better choice.
I hope you guys pull an MGMT and make your second album a weirdo one.
Oh, and one more thing. Angelakos, remember between songs when someone offered you $20 to sing "Your Love Is My Drug?" And you were like "You'd have to pay me top dollar for that." Didn't you guys remix the new Katy Perry song? You act like you're too cool for Ke$ha but not for Katy Perry? Huh?
Huh?
