How could it not be?

I made a whole trip to NY to see the last two shows and never once regretted any part of it. It was beautiful week, two incredible shows.

I know they’re putting this out and then a full recording of the show, I wonder which one Spike Jonze was involved with. This looks like it was shot on the 7D and that’s what Jonze was carrying around the whole night. He was also interviewing people in MSG’s lobby before the show.

Memoryhouse!

That’d be great if they got another album out next year. An EP one year, an album early the next, and the follow up a year after that is a good pace to set to make sure people remember you and build a following. Which is something I think they’re doing anyway. I saw them play two times in the last year and they evolved so much in a few months and they’re terrific live. The record is stellar too, hopefully it won’t be forgotten in the year-end roundups.

They’re trying to say “Our cows, chickens, and pigs are happy as fuck until we slaughter the shit outta them in this weird boxing machine and one single farmer who seems kinda depressed loads them into a pretty small, non-air conditioned truck and drives them out of frame.”

Was Roman Coppola not available?

“OMG New Foo Fighters!” – No one.

Fuck. I was scrolling to see if anyone had thought of that and got excited until I saw Michael Caine and my dreams were crushed.

I always think the intro sounds like MGMT’s “Electric Feel”

So insanely good. Well beyond pastiche.

Agreed, but he’s also sort of socially inept in general.

When he was on Conan to promote 808s he told him he needed to pee in the middle of the interview. That’s not caution towards the media, that’s someone ill equipt to be on television in that capacity. Which again, is fine, but he’d be better off if he just let the music speak for him.

On a side note though, there’s always been a disturbing tendency for older white men to talk down to Kanye, whether it be Lauer or Leno, they both treat him like a “bad child” and it’s insulting to watch a grown man be talked to like that. He’s right when he points out they’re doing all that “TV stuff” because in the simplistic moral realm of TV, you have a breakdown followed by public apology and redemption. None of which are neccesary for a guy who said something emotional after a tragedy (something that’s far easier to defend than Bush’s inaction) and did a dumb thing at an awards show.

That Laura Marling recording is great. I like her album but it definitely feels like it lacks a good producer. Maybe White will producer her next record? That would be great.

Great song, great album, great actress.

Awful video.

When they came back from commercial Dave seemed very pleased, and said “I enjoyed that” in a very pervy way. A+!
