I went to see MBV at the Hammersmith Apollo the other night, having seen them back in the day and then a few years ago at the Roundhouse. Stuck up in the gods all of the intensity of their performance was lost and I ended up thinking it was disappointing.

I was there too :). I was luckily right at the front of the top level, so it felt like I was relatively close to them. But sitting at the back of the Apollo is no good, so I know what you mean. I saw them in Brixton warming up for this tour, and they weren't great: poor sound, they kept re-starting songs. Hammersmith was a lot better. (I've seen them once before, in Manchester on the 2008 tour. I was up the back for that and I'd say Hammersmith was probably better).

Interesting to hear that Brixton wasn't great. I was gutted I missed that. The Roundhouse shows were just blistering. I've never heard anything that comes close in terms of volume and intensity. I was deaf for days after that show!

I read that some guy was talking to the sound engineer after the roundhouse show who had asked him what he thought of the gig. The guy said it sounded like he was standing on a runway with a 747 taking off directly above his head. The sound engineer smiled and said actually it's louder!!
 
Damn it's in Louisville
That's not far from me at all

String Cheese, The Avett Bros and The Flaming Lips
I'm totally fucking down brah

I seen The Flaming Lips at Bonnaroo (twice) do a set of there own and then they did a full set of there cover of The Dark Side of the Moon
Was so fucking heady, I danced my ass off with a mind full of glorious chems
 
Anyone seen Crystal Castles? They are playing in NOLA next month and I would like to go. Curious how their live show is
 
i saw them at lolla two years ago and they are amazing. been one of my favorite bands since.

speaking of, golden tickets went on sale today--last year. no one is ever going to get them, but i'm on the refresh button this evening a bit more before wasting tomorrow at work doing the same.

^^^the only show i saw was MMJ, and it was awesome.

got two nights of panic next weekend. i'm not really that excited. i've kind of lost interest in them. but it'll be a good time.
 
i saw alt-j on sunday night in a small(ish) club in sac. not really my cup of tea and i liked about 25% of the (very short) set they played but i'm told they're the nbt...
