David Shane Smith at Best Buy



Seeing anyone play a gig at 2pm on a Sunday in a Best Buy can be a little surreal... No-one was trampled to death although there were fears of an earthquake at one point but this was probably a THX demonstration in the Home Theater department... Note to David - probably not a great idea to shout earthquake in a packed Best Buy! We could have done some looting on the way out I guess...

DSS played an acoustic set, adapting many of the songs with a Best Buy flavor, for example 'Eyes' where "there's eyes watching you..." became "Best Buy watching you from the darkest place on earth...." Amongst the other songs was the acoustic section of 'Miserablism' and the wonderful 'Liquor Store', whose depiction of the hum drum lives of the people who frequent a liquor store could easily be applied to the hum drum lives of people who frequent consumer electronics stores... "a car, a job, a marriage" indeed...
