another great write-up.  it's a tad on the gushy side, but having seen the show i fully comprehend why you gush.  bonus points for mentioning alpha flight!  (are you canadian?)

i SWEAR i'm not looking to copy edit your stuff, but i couldn't help but notice: the club's address is 815 V St, not 915.  hey, at least it shows that i'm paying attention.

you can be an editor for the washington post, everyone knows they need one  ;D

sweetcell - Edits are always appreciated and very helpful! Between the demand of the shows, the day-job, and trying to get these posts written, things like that slip by me sometimes. So thank you.

No, not Canadian just an old school Marvel fan.

this show was so boring, except for maybe 3 songs. overall, a waste of time. 

Awwwwww nah he di''nt!

But honestly, I sort of agree.

well at least the visuals were interesting.

would have preferred Mountain Man do a 90 minute set while Jonsi dance to their songs

Kind of surpised to hear that. I thought both shows were beautiful. To each his own I guess.

Mountain Man were painful. They reminded me of the women from the SNL 'shweaty weiners' skits.

ps - (for those who like the show) - just found this:

now the show sucked?

its hard to keep up with you guys.. guess jonsi's 15 minutes are over.. who's next for the hipsters?

you guys build up and tear down faster than a Chinese construction crew

i guess yeah, to each his own though I don't have a problem with Sigur Ros' live…they rule.

he just read it on a blog.

i could understand someone not liking jonsi, indeed to each his own.  but to say that mountain man was anything short of awful - that's the dead give-away that joe is just trolling. 

it's easy to be oppositional-defiant and oh-so iconoclast. 

hutch, I never said the show was great in the first place  ;D

but yeah, this was possibly the worst headlining set I've seen this year.

In Joe's defense (and I'm typically the first person to call him out for being a hipster blog-reading troll), he did have both of those opinions way before this thread was started.

I liked Mountain Man, too.

now now kids, let's remember that the term "hipster" is relative.
