As far as I can tell no presale tickets even went up for the D.C. show or they sold in microseconds. What horseshit

Got my D.C. tickets then ran to work. Anyone know how fast they sold out? It is so bizarre to think I just bought Neutral loving Milk loving Hotel tickets.

So the tour started a few weeks ago... any impressions? I'm about to see the DC show, I'm expecting to see some weeping hipsters (I'll probably be one of them). Can't believe this is happening but I dunno about elf power who it looks like is opening.

AtomicRust posted:Seeing them in Tulsa the 14th! Really looking forward to it, and from the sounds of it they put on a really great show! I might weep if I get to hear "Engine" live. If you are curious: They ended with it at the DC show Also some thoughts on some specific songs: Good lord "Ferris Wheel on Fire" was incredible. I've heard OF it before but I've never actually listened to it. Guess I need to hunt down a copy because they killed it. Also they played "Gardenhead" so fast I swear they took a 3 minute song and played it in a minute thirty flat. Same thing with Holland 1945 they just loving blew through it. They played it with this sort of manic energy that made me physically uncomfortable. Listening to that live was a very strange experience and I'm still processing it. One song that blew me away which I wasn't expecting was Snow Song pt. 1 because A. I can't believe they played it and B. IT loving OWNED SO HARD OMG Moving on Aeroplane over the Sea was... actually pretty drat good. I've never heard a good live version of it so I had fairly low expectations but given that they are probably sick to death of playing it they did a pretty bang up job. Oh Comely was the best song that all members of the band participated in. It started out with just Jeff and then as the song went on more members of the band slowly added harmonies to the song until the end the full band was blasting and all the instruments were perfectly balanced and it was heavenly. Jeff also did the "hold a note for what seems like an eternity" on this and only this song as well which made it extra special. Jeff teased Two Headed Boy at the start of the concert and then finished it during the encore, that was pretty cool. Basically all of the solo stuff Jeff played was awesome - when the rest of the band joined in they seemed a little disjointed on a few songs(Song Against Sex in particular which was disappointing), but when everything came together it was mind blowing. Uhhhh...yeah. Three years ago I never would have guessed I would actually have the privilege of seeing this band perform live. They were really into it and I hope they do another tour and/or make some more music. It certainly seems like they have it in them. edit: One song they did NOT play was Communist Daughter, which ughhhhh I really wanted to hear GoodluckJonathan fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 1, 2014 |

The saw sounds so cool live. My wife thought it was a theremin when they first started playing but nope. It's a goddamn saw.

I used them because I assume there are people who want to go to the show not knowing anything about it.

Why do music writers think writing about their agonizing hipster guilt is anything other than boring navel-gazing?
