I'm a Macca fan, but I think one writer (sorry, forgot where) said it best with something like "he looked like he was accepting an award between every song." I cringe at his stage antics. Still, I'm mad that the AT&T live feed stopped after "Here Today".
I've never complained about the content decisions by Stereogum staff...until now. DMB WTF? I didn't like them even before I got into indie rock. What next, a Creed reunion for the next post?
What music journalist started the thing where they name the lead singer of the band, and follow that up with "& Co." (e.g., Bono & Co.), and can I feed some toe jam?
Still love you anyway, stereogum.
That performance was bizarre. Didn't Meg drop out of their last tour due to nerves or something? And then her big come back is playing guitar for the first time in front of TV audience?
And I agree with mitchell - that song doesn't deserve the emotion Jack tries to give it. It's a sweet song, not bittersweet. It'd need another verse for it to be bittersweet.
My favorite of the Japense "box cat" as you've dubbed him, is this one:

Wait for when he tries to get a drink of water. Cracks me up every time.
Oh, and thank you for not including Spaghetti Cat.
I looked forward to this because they agreed with me last year about The National. But this time they couldn't have gotten in more wrong in my eyes. My God, Sh & Him is a step backwards in music, however cute and enjoyable it is to listen to.
I am so obsessed with this album right now. I do prefer the record better than the live stuff I've heard though. That dude is doing what Brian Wilson fans want Brian Wilson to do, but even better. Love it.
P.S. I saw Beck on this tour and it kinda sucked. I thought he played too much Guero and The Information songs, and not enough Modern Guilt (or New Pollution!!!).
This song sounds like it could have been on Midlake's "Trials of Van Occupanther". Love it. Love this whole album -- it's what I've been waiting for without realizing it.
Thanks for calling this out. I kept hearing this commercial but missing watching it. I had a totally different picture in my head. Like the end was at a boring Interpol show. Guess I wasn't too far off since it's still a boring commercial.
