This week rollcall

Godspeed last night was awesome, well worth the 6-hour round trip.  They played a new song (35-minute "Behemoth") which is on SLDC's youtube page.

edited to add: they played more than just the one song.  It was a full 1.5+ hour headlining set.

Nice. That's what they've been playing opening for NIN.

I can tell you about GYBE, but I left after that :o I must say that this live version of Behemoth in DC, with the drums in the arena, is probably the best I've seen, even if that's not my favourite song. The crowd was also nice for GYBE. Only traffic and ticket box office was a bad experience.

So apparently GYBE played the same set in Philadelphia and Charlottesville, so it's good that I only went to one of them (+DC opening act).
next two weeks:

10-24 Kronos Quartet, College Park
10-31 Melt Banana, Philadelphia (??)
11-01 Built to Spill, DC (?)
11-02 Sebadoh, Philadelphia (?)
11-03 Sebadoh, Washington

I don't think I will beat this $ per song anytime soon.

Uh, no, they played over an hour and a half in Charlottesville.  In addition to "Behemoth" and the "Hope Drone" they played at Verizon Center, they also played "Mladic", "Gathering Storm", and "Moya".  Much longer set than the NIN opening set.
Am I still joining you for this?
