Is this the first full band show of the year where Wilco played neither A Shot In The Arm nor I Am Trying To Break Your Heart?!

I thought the version of Poor Places we received was the loudest and most chaotic version I had ever heard. It was, um, aggressive, I think. I've heard many versions of it, but this one may be my favorite, even if they don't sample her. bböp, nice to meet you as well. And yes, the volume I thought was kind of off. The guitars came off pretty well. But I thought Glenn sounded muted throughout most of the show except for Forget The Flowers. I miss the AGIB tour era version of A Shot In The Arm where they turned up Jorgensen's piano.

Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto Pretty good compared to the first three releases. Coldplay might learn a lesson or two from Eno. Drake - Take Care Time to prepare for some end of the year lists.

The venue sure does offer alcohol and even though it sold out, seemed like there were a lot of drunk and casual fans out there. Had a bunch boys and girls pushing into the back of me while I was standing in GA like a row behind Ditty. There were some that just snuck up here and tried to create some weird dance circle. So in general, we came to hear Wilco perform, so unless it's a singalong, keep it in your pants, please. Paulcalypse, where were you standing? Maybe I was standing close to you and I didn't even know it. According to Wilco's new setlist DB, I Must Be High was last played

Feist - Metals

Jamie Woon - Mirrorwriting Why have I not heard anyone talk about this at all in here?! Boris - New Album Wow, they almost match the non-descript naming techniques of Girls and Girls' albums.

Jay-Z and Kanye West - Watch The Throne

M|O|O|N - Moon EP James Murphy's nephew's debut, or something. You can stream it here.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz! That's quite a camera capture.

The Fall - Ersatz GB

Bill Callahan - Apocalypse

Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks - Mirror Traffic

Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness

Prisoners Of Love Better introduction. Stuff they'll play often live.

Painful! Painful may have been my favorite purchase last year. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out is also excellent. Yo La Tengo runs quite a large area. They're not exclusively soft, nor loud, nor psychedelic, nor noisy. I know And The Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out has some cult followers on here. I'm quite fond of the naked intimacy displayed on Our Way To Fall. It's quite beautiful. But I'm also quite fond of a noisy Yo La Tengo when they play Tom Courtenay.

Year's not even done yet. GEEZ.

Buraka Som Sistema - Komba David Lynch - Crazy Clown Time Justice - Audio, Video, Disco

Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica I'm always afraid I'll pronounce the artist name incorrectly. >_> Atlas Sound - Parallax

Youth Lagoon - The Year Of Hibernation

Decemberists, The - Long Live The King [EP] I actually think this sounds much more exciting than their last 3 albums. The King Is Dead was okay, but this reminds me a little bit of the thrill I had when I first heard The Decemberists.

Beach Boys, The - SMiLE Sessions Finally. Thank you, god.

Joker - The Vision

Dntel - Life Is Full Of Possibilities

The beer analogy is pretty much a way for the poster to just jeer at people who doesn't agree with him/her. There's a lot of generalizations in his analogies. And then there's the "I can't imagine anyone giving TWL a 'meh' after 5 serious listens". Okay, you can't imagine, but people like that out there do exist. It truly is a narrow-minded view of the world even if we're all in Via Chicago. While the typical hipster castigates The Whole Love and Metals for its "meh", Newbornghost is deriding the hipsters for an assumption of unexcited short-sighted view of the world. The beer analogy re

I'm sorry, but that post is about as short-sighted as the hipsters (s)he is deriding.
