A Concerted Effort
So, the TMBG concert… I loved it. I hadn’t realized that Mr. Smalls was an old church; it had perfect acoustics and was a generally nice place. The opening band, Oppenheimer, were OK but a little lackluster– they relied a bit too much on the vocoder. Of course, the Johns were awesome. I don’t have a setlist off the top of my head but the highlights were “The Cap’m”, “The Mesopotamians”, “Maybe I Know”, and “Doctor Worm”. (EDIT: I also really liked “With The Dark”.) I actually hadn’t heard any of The Else yet, so I picked that up (and a shirt) on the way out; iTunes has just finished ripping it and I’m exhausted. It’ll get a full listen tomorrow at work (today, actually– yeah, I’m copping out and calling this the entry for the 16th; technically, it’s 12:45 right now, so that counts). Catch you guys on Saturday, hopefully with that Bailout that I’ve been promising.
