She's My Joy And Sorrow Too.
Abe Babe.
Day 2 of the fest. Abe V. go on early.
And set a very high standard for the day. Thier time is fast approaching.
Pay Dean.
Meanwhile, upstairs.
Pissed Jeans delivered honest misery direct from Philidelphia!
And as a fan of honest and bare misery, I was delighted.
Jesse Spears was here.
Confused, kicked out and bleeding.
Oh Jesus, Jay Reatard was incredible.
When his first band, The Reatards, put out their debut record 10 or 12 years ago no one could believe how much vile frustration was coming out of what was then a 16 yr old. Everything he's done since has been gold, and his most recent solo stuff is the best yet.
Clearly a lifer. Recognize.
Summer night overflowing with the good people.
Hurricane!
Anticipation peaks. The night peaks.
And No Age comes on.
They were huge. It was huge.
Their full length, Weirdo Rippers, was released yesterday. Get it, get the soundtrack to Evolution Summer.
The landscape is changing, and it's spreading fast.
What a joyous time! Do you feel as lucky as I do to be here?
