Great set last night. What was the name of the Super Furry Animals song you played before Okkervil? At least I think it was SFA... [/b]

Glad you liked it! I'll post the full list later today
 
 The SFA song was Run-Away from last years (hugely underrated imo)  Hey Venus!

hunh, i specifically did not buy tickets to this show because i could not confirm that neko would be there before it sold out. i am curious to know how people knew for sure she was supposed to be there, because i couldnt find anything promising neko

  Anyone know the set list for Okkervil River? Thanks.

I'm doing this from memory, so I'm not sure if it's the exact order:
 
 The President's Dead
 Black
 A Hand to Take Hold of the Scene
 The Latest Toughs
 A Girl in Port
 A Stone
 You Can't Hold the Hand of a Rock and Roll Man
 Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe
 It Ends With a Fall
 Unless It's Kicks
 For Real
 Westfall
 
 Kinda disappointed Jonathan wasn't there, but it was awesome seeing Charles Bissel on guitar. I was hoping they'd play the Wrens' "Ex-Girl Collection" again. Maybe tonight. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same exact set...
 
 And thanks brennser! I definitely plan on picking up that SFA album soon.

Hey Venus is an amazing pop album.  Very concise (36 minutes) and fun to listen to.  Highly recommended.

Yeah- Hey Venus is really awesome!

I am not really sure I get this.  I dont believe she adds as much to NPs as most people think.  I can take or leave her and her solo stuff??  boring.    anyway.  i like Carl's neice too.  
 
   I didnt see the show, but if they played only 3 songs from Challengers, thats sorta lame.

I actually like AC Newman's last solo album alot more than anything the NP's have done. I'm not sure why. Did anybody find it appreciably different than the NP's?

Can someone tell me about what time Okkervil River hit the stage last night?  I am going tonight and want to make sure I get there in time.  Website reads 8:00, but that seems awfully early.
 
 Thanks.
 
 Bummer that Neko Case probably won't be there.

Thanks.  My wife will be happy to get home early.

NPorno w/o NCase = FMac w/o SNicks

[MonkeyPants]

Yeah, set times were pretty exact.  The whole thing was over around 11.
 
 Really hope we get Ex-Girl Collection tonight.  
 
 As for the number of Challengers songs, I count 6.  Whoever counted three just wasn't paying attention or doesn't really know the album that well.  So much for being a TNP neophyte

[sweetcell]

any chance that neko will show up tonight?

[Vas Deferens]

NPorno w/o NCase is more like Broken Social Scene without Amy, Emily, or Feist.
