First Swans show last night.  Didn't know any of the material they played but the 2 hours flew right by.

I guess my earplugs earned their keep last night - ears are barely ringing.

Got Haggis?

I am a huge swans fan and even I couldn't recognize some of the songs.  I think I only knew 3. I've only listened to the new album twice though.

i was joking beforehand that they were going to play all their 30 minute long songs...didn't expect them to really do that

Despite the volume and earplugs the sound was amazingly clear.

Seems right.


Six songs, 126 minutes.


Top that, jambands.


I read a tweet yesterday calling them a "spooky jamband" which is not that far from the truth. :)

Drone Jam.

I loved the set.  I noticed the air was on (maybe not the whole time, but I noticed it near the merch table and by the bathrooms at different points in the night).  Music was loud and clear. 

Gira seemed like a nice guy.  He was signing stuff after the show and I was able to snag a poster and an autograph. 

Plus I got to hang with showlist, which is always cool!

Doormat?  You mean the bottle opener?  I got that a long time ago.

I pre-ordered the cd/dvd from 'young god' and it arrived pre-signed, a nice surprise

Yeah he seems pretty personable. Another friend got a copy of his novel signed.

Came on around the 3rd song.  I was, mercifully, right under a vent so the remainder of the set was pretty comfortable.  Was getting pretty unbearable up until then.

It went on less than 1 second after I told Joe it was hot as shit. Doubt my comment had anything to do with it but the timing was pretty funny.

Modest Mouse was really good last night. Least sloppy I've ever seen them and a nice mix of songs from all the LPs.
