Cool thanks. That's what I thought.

Anyone go to John Darnielle/Rock Plaza Central in NYC last night? Would appreciate a review of that.

I made it to the Long Blondes/Drug Rug show at the RnR Hotel. Not very fond of the new Long Blondes record, but the songs from the prior album were very good live. Plus, they actually smile and were very happy to be there...(unlike, Ladytron??)
 
 Drug Rug were very impressive as well.

The DeVotchKa show was NPR'd:

Swell Season was one of the best shows I've seen in my entire life.
 
 Plus, I got to meet Susan from Exit Clov outside... she's an amazingly lovely person =D

Anybody have a guess about set times for the Pela show tonight at RNR? Three bands, doors listed as 8 and showtime as 8:30.

[azaghal1981]

8:30, 9:15, 10:15?
 
 They've been good about starting/ending early on weeknights for a little while now.

I got there about a minute before they went on, and left before they presumably came back for the encore. I looked for you thinking you might be there, but didn't see you...
 
 I thought they were good, musically. A bit carbon copyish of their recorded stuff, but still good. And quite passionate. The singer was a little offputting at times tough. Maybe it was his good looking frat boy looks combined with his quite dopey between song mumblings.
 
 Maybe slightly wishing I had skipped Pela and went to Liam Finn tonight instead, but I'll most likely be at home watching American Idol tonight. Are you going to that one tonight?

Saw Swell Season last night at Radio City. It was easily one of the best shows Ive seen in a long time. They played for 2 hours and ended the night with a Van Morrison cover (the second Van Morrison cover of the night). Marketa did a cover with her sister from the movie Wicker Man in the 70's. Her whole family came to the show which was pretty cool. Theyre playing another show in Central Park that I wont be missing in Sept.
 
 Falling Slowly was just beautiful. Once sounded incredible. Glen played one song with Interference, the opener. He talked a lot and told us about the meaning/story behind every song. It could have gone on forever.

Did he dwell on how swell it was to grind it up with an underage teen?

LOL. He *knows* he looks good.   :roll:  
 
 Nah, not going to anything tonight. Saving my energy for Islands (Thursday) then Silver Mt.Zion/Vic Chesnutt (Friday).
