Brief Analysis of SNL's "Bad Sound" Pros: At around 2:08, Jack kicks into one of the most gnarly guitar sounds ever on SNL. Cons: There may as well have been just Jack, the organ dude and the drummer on stage. Upright, fiddle and mando were non existent. Conclusion: While I agree that Bon Iver and The Black Keys sounded fairly balanced, the second song was a failure. A good sound engineer can achieve the artist's desire to put his signature wooly guitar tone on display, as well as serve the intended instrumental balance of the song.

It'd be nice to have a jam room like that. It would also be nice to have James Mercer's melodic sensibility.

The single is great, but the rest of it sounds like more of a joke than the Coldplay cover they did.

Gah! Too many words! I have but one: Weak.

Magnolia Electric Co., "Josephine", please. Good move with that Mogwai jam though.
