Roberts showed up to do an encore with Bonnie "Prince" Billy and company at Sixth and I.
This was the most amazing show. I went into it not thinking "God I hope Oldham plays X, Y and Z" but rather "Let's see what he comes up with." It helps that I just read his book, which expounds at great length on his theories of making music. But I was completely in to every minute of this.
And let me tell you, when the openers came on -- two guys with acoustic guitars -- my heart and my boner just sank like a stone. But then midway through the first song, I thought "Wow, this sounds pretty good" and by the end of it, I was absolutely sold. I usually hate soft, delicate acoustic music but these guys were amazing. At the end of the BPB set, I ran into the guy on the left and told him virtually everything I said in this paragraph and he gave me a hug except that I didn't realize he was going in for a hug and so we had this awkward shoulder bump and then we made out.
