Really liked the Yuck show last week. Thought the musicianship was great (especially the lead guitar), the crowd very attentive and the sound was actually good.....soooo glad I caught it!

Pretty rockin' Wild Flag show, though something was a bit off.  Definitely better the first go-around, but still a good time.  Nice encore too.

Pro of the night: getting a free 3/4 full PBR.  Hey, it was free!

Con of the night: getting gum on my jacket

Pro of the night:  Carrie signing "Cacao" for me
Con of the night:  seeing a deer get hit by a car on the way to the show

I blame the lame gum chewing, swill drinking crowd.

This show didn't do much for me. I am burnt out on concerts I think! Its great to see Janet Weiss, probably my favorite drummer, and Carrie Brownstein.. 2/3 of Sleater-Kinney ain't chump change... but they just don't have enough songs that make much of an impression on me.. For $15 its hard to complain but I enjoyed them more earlier in the year when it was fresh, expectations were less,, and it was easy to overlook the fact the songs aren't there.. Like I said a few of the songs are really cool (Romance for example), and I could listen to Janet Weiss drumming all night,  but when the two encore songs are covers with an immediacy lacking in most of the show something is missing. The show is up on NPR for anyone to listen to and make up their own mind.

PRO: merch stand had the new album fully autographed..nice touch..lady working there said she'd sold me the sleater cat t shirt i was wearing.. i said "that was a real long time ago.. like at least 12 years!" . she said she'd worked merch that tour...so 2/3 of sleater is touring with sleater's merch lady...you do the math.

CON: stinky crowd.. guy next to me at one point smelled like an ash tray... his chick was gassing it up or something too...

actually the con was i just wasn't that into the show.. i do really enjoy seeing janet weiss.. she's a monster drummer..

Eleanor Friedberger or whatever her name is sounded better to me last night.. too bad i only caught a few songs

The Damned on Sunday for me! Legendary Shack Shakers opening up is sweet too!
