Thanks!!!

Hey, thanks for everyone who came out Saturday, it was a great night! And thanks especially to the bands, who played totally kickass sets. I'm not gonna review my own show, obviously, but I do want to mention that 28 Degrees Taurus finished (pre-encore) with the sickest version of "Crash and Burn" imaginable.

And one last time, thanks so much to our hosts at McKibben for letting us use their space and helping us promote the show. And to Vanishing Point, who were generous with their equipment and time - these guys rock and everyone should check them out and go to the shows they put on around town.


Here's the annotated playlist, if anyone is interested:

I Believe - Skywave

Flying - Telescopes

It's You - Heavenly

Stomach Worm (Stereolab) - It Hugs Back

A Great Divide - Parts and Labor

No Fun - Lovvers

See/Saw - Jay Reatard

Useless Inventions - Guided by Voices

The Year without a Summer - Coltrane Motion

[^This is my new favorite shameless pop band, only recently heard them for the first time.]

Everyone Knows Everyone - The Helio Sequence

[^I may have got a little carried away with the pop thing.]

I'm Ok You're Ok - Let's Wrestle

Starrsha - Ringo Deathstarr

[The best shoegaze band of its/our generation]

Glue - Sisters

[^Since reviewing this band, it's really sunk in that they are one of New York's most promising new bands. Delightfully minimalist poppy garage rock.]

Teenage Super Party - Wavves

Clusterfuck - The Manhattan Love Suicides

[^The MLS are every shoegaze/noise pop/indie pop DJ's dream. Dozens of perfect pop songs clocking in at well under three minutes.]

How Will the Others Survive? - Tears Run Rings

[^The second best new/contemporary shoegaze band, after Ringo Deathstarr.]

[^Werewolves helped set up this show, but I didn't play their song to pay them back, I played it because they are awesome.]

Swallow - My Bloody Valentine

[[28 Degrees Taurus]]

Somehow my playlist got changed around after the show, I think. Which is fine, it wasn't really a great playlist to start with. (To be totally honest, I snuck out during 28 Degrees Taurus's encore, so I'm not sure what happened.) Based on my "last played" list, this is what was played:

Tak! Attack! - Black Affair

Bomb the Surf - The Vandelles

Pleasure and Pain - Soundpool

What New York Used to Be - The Kills

First Communion - Gang Gang Dance

Missing You - A Place to Bury Strangers

Balloons - Foals

You Can't Be Funky - Bush Tetras

Darklooming - The Depreciation Guild

...and after that, I don't know what happened, as that's as far as the "last played" list goes. VP said they had to leave, so I guess this is when they did so and took my laptop with.
