last half of dead meadows was decent. got to hear it in the car on my drive home.
ponytail were only a tad less annoying than the last time i heard them at the black cat, but they're still too much to endure. i gave them 25 minutes... had to turn the dial, i had run out fo hair to pull out. it's as if they're attempting to play an elaborate joke on the indie crowd: how close to mentally deficient can we sound without people calling our bluff? the guitar work definitely improved, but their "singer" still bugs like no one else i've come across. it's not just the noises she makes - when she tried to give her voice a pitch, it's consistently flat. she hurts my ears. bitch.
