I'm relieved you acknowledge that Feel It Break was underserved. I couldn't get how it missed a BNM nod. Definitely one of my favorite albums that year. Very excited for Olympia!
During one of his performances, he was scanning the crowd and when he got to me I realized he wasn't just looking at everyone's faces but looking directly into their eyes. The expression on his face was hateful and penetrating. It was terrifying. I would definitely see him again.
Metz killed every single time, even for the shows when you could tell they were over CMJ. Doldrums is great but your experience of that Public Assembly show was very different from mine. It was my least favorite set of the week. Also, Roomrunner was excellent and deserves mentioning.
I'm completely overwhelmed. Too much of what I want to see is happening simultaneously and this doesn't even go until all the great unofficial shows that are happening.
"Melody", "L'hotel particulier" and "Cargo Culte" share a similar melody that reoccurs throughout Histoire de Melody Nelson, but it seems appropriate to compare "Paper Tiger" to the middle track since it has the most brooding, ambiguous mood and the strings don't swell intensely as they do in "Cargo Culte".
I had a friend who was arrested in Texas not too long ago on a similar charge. It seems that most of the fights in Texas lady jail involved bashing each other with lunch trays.
Is this the first proper full-length AnCo release to not get p4k's BNM spot? Here Comes The Indian isn't noted as getting BNM but I seem to remember that album getting some special notation at the time (it came out pre-BNM, perhaps?). I get that p4k's fickle, but it's somewhat interesting if true.
This had been the best DIIV show I'd ever been to, so it's fun to relive it again. It's also weirdly exciting to see recognizable nooks and crannies of 285 Kent.
I feel like this isn't the first time I've seen Kay Nielsen's artwork used as album art recently. Either he has no living relatives or the rights to his work are dirt cheap.
