This week rollcall

[azaghal1981]

Not really.

[Vas Deferens]

I'm actually skipping it...just listened to city of echoes again and it's very clear they don't have a very imaginative drummer...i think pitchfork had the same problem...

[azaghal1981]

Pitchfork did have that problem
  but I disagreed with that review. No, he's not the most creative musician ever but he doesn't ruin it for me like that reviewer essentially said.

[walkonby]

i don't trust or like reviews anymore for anything, unless it is coming out my own brain to accept as true.  reviewers and the propaganda press that publish them are paid off by studio plants to paint a pretty picture about the piece.

I kind of agree with this with the exception of a few writers.

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Is anyone going to King Mixer at Asylum?  I wouldn't steer you wrong!

[Vas Deferens]

Really, really dug the Mountain Goats show...and we got "Going to Georgia" in the encore!  

[azaghal1981]

Yes, that TMG show was excellent!
 
 
 Way more upbeat than the BC show for obvious reasons.
 
 
 Also really enjoyed Kaki King's acoustic stuff. Wish she played more of it.
 
 
 She got a surprisingly long set. Pretty sure it was as long as the Mountain Goats'.

[azaghal1981]

Who was that dude who opened?
 
 
 Everything he did, sang, played and said was so painfully cliche and generic.

[Vas Deferens]

I was quite bored with Kaki King's set. Sure she's a good musician, but she doesn't have the songs.

[azaghal1981]

I wasn't too crazy about the rock stuff.

[Vas Deferens]

her songs lack hooks.
 
 enjoy david byrne. i'll be enjoying sea and cake

Will do.
 
 
 Hopefully he'll be able to keep me from thinking about solo Jens.  

[azaghal1981]

David Byrne was a mixed bag. TH classics were played to perfection but I still can't get into the new album at all. Tower Theater sound was much boomier than I remember it being the last time I was there.
 
 
 This week:
 Diplo/No Age
 M83
 Brightblack Morning Light
 
 
 Got an M83 extra for anyone who wants one.
 (strongly advised that the Calexico snoozefest is skipped for them    )
 
 
 So who's got my Sea & Cake and/or Jens reviews?

[manimtired]

mark kozelek tomorrow..wonder how this will be at the RnR..dont think its the right venue for a solo acoustic show.  wish this was at iota.
