Sorry dude but you picked the wrong time to get sick of Wilco.  The show in Bethesda last night was 37 songs, and did include "nothing'severgonnastandinmyway(again)" and a killer mid-show acoustic set.  That was probably my favorite of the roughly 20 times I've seen Wilco.

lots of hate for jj

how was yeasayer this weekend?

monday: BMRC if i feel inspired
tuesday: atoms for peace in NYC
next week: thanks to a fantastic alignment of the stars (and an unexpected contract extension), i'll be seeing Muse & SSPU in oakland with smackie and the director.  bay area, you've been warned.

Yeasayer was fantastic.  They played the entire new record and 3-4 from the first one.  I love their new record so I was really happy to hear all the new material.

I thought they were much better than they were after the first record and their growth as a band in that time was really apparent.

Thurs: BRMC @ Webster Hall

Friday: Wedding Present

Tonight at DC9 Serena-Maneesh and The Depreciation Guild

Did anybody else go to Serena-Maneesh last night?  The Depreciation Guild were good as usual (though whoever had commented last time that they were too wall of noise guitar sounding and the Famicon stuff faded into the background would probably still not have liked it, as the synths/bass were running on a laptop and definitey background to the guitars.)

I was wondering about SM.  I watched about five or so songs and had to leave (I was tired plus i didnt have my earplugs and they were WAY loud) and wanted to know how the end of their set was.  They had a great energy and were fun to watch, just not with out ear plugs, as i want to save my hearing a bit.  My only complaint about the sound was the keyboardist/drum pad player seemed to be turned down way low.  The opening track (of the album and the set) has a very distinct drum sound that you could tell he was triggering, but couldnt hear. 

any idea if they're gonna do the original CD, or the US remastered version with the Pavement cover?

I don't know! Good question. They'll probably do the remastered one I guess, especially if it's fairly recent. I only have the original one.

So much great metal in the area next week and the week after…

My ears probably won't be the same after it all.

You pulled a mighty sweetcell on us…opting to stay home than see High on Fire.

Inexcusable.

You should be flogged, rapid-fire drumming style.
