yep, that was opening for bloc party. it wasn't quite as awesome as their show last year on the backstage, but it was pretty crucial.

Worst Show -- Ryan Adams at the Myerhoff. Someone mentioned this above, but they left out the part where he walked out into the seats with no mic and played for about 45 minutes. If you were within 10 feet of him it was probably the show of a lifetime for you. For everyone else it sucked. If any of you have been to the Myerhoff you realize it's a crappy 70s era Symphony hall. I even left my balcony seats to run down there but there was no way to hear him unless you were literally right by him. I've never seen so many people pissed at a show.

8. 2005/03/23 Robyn Hitchcock/Meredith Bragg (Black Cat)
9. 2005/10/02 The Decemberists/Sons and Daughters (9:30 Club)
10. 2005/06/25 Sleater-Kinney/Dead Meadow (9:30 Club)

have they lost their magic?
saw them at black cat twice in 03 (04 too maybe?), opening for libertines and headlining, and they were simply insane ... great shows ... it would be sad if they lost their edge
-
Sleater-Kinney at 9:30 this year was a great show.

Sloan at the Black Cat this year was good.

well others can feel free to weigh in on this but I was very very dissapointed - the whole thing was just listless and the new songs dont't work as well as the old ones live....

I'd like to give some praise to opening bands that stole their respective shows from the headlining acts....
Best opening bands of year (in no particular order):
2005/03/21 The Dears (9:30 Club, opening for The Soundtrack of Our Lives)
2005/10/22 We Are Scientists (Black Cat, opening for Ambulance Ltd.)
My most disappointing show of the year:
2005/06/24 Billy Corgan (9:30 Club)
Still the coolest light show ever, so that's something at least, and I really liked the encore.... But, overall, it just didn't rock.
Shows I wish I had just stayed home and saved my money:
2005/10/04 Nada Surf (Black Cat)
2005/03/26 Interpol (9:30 Club)
Actually, I got into Interpol for free, but I still wish I had stayed home.

metric @ 930
stephen malkmus @ black cat

and i'm reserving a spot for the roots on 12/29.
Metric @ 9:30 was amazing, wasn't it?
I was so disappointed to miss BSS/Feist at 930 in October... and now I'm missing Feist again in February when she's at the Black Cat!
You might be interested in knowing that Stars is now on the Black Cat schedule. I don't know; Metric, Feist... Stars seems like it might fit in there.
Oh, and Metric is returning to 930 on March 9. I haven't been able to find it on the site, but the tickets have gone on sale already.

How did you manage to pull off seeing both of these? Bright Eyes didn't let out until like 11:30.

I think Bright Eyes got out a little after 11 and then we hauled ass to the Echo show. We got there 3 or 4 songs into their set but it was worth it.
Also worth mentioning...M.I.A./Spank Rock @ 930. I thought Spank Rock stole the show.

More power to you. I looked at the schedules and figured there was no way to pull it off, even though I wanted to.
