A bathwater voice
a la Sun Kil Moon, accent
Adding to the peace.

The Donkeys at the Echo, 8/26/08
I feel as though, based
Solely on the set versus
Album, they've regressed.

A.A. Bondy and Bon Iver at the Troubadour, 8/25/08
A. A. Bondy:
He compacted my
Southern upbringing into
Thirteen tawny tracks.
Bon Iver:
Cannot fend off the
Vague essence of Dawson's Creek
And Abercrombie.

25. Everything In Its Right Place (began with a quote from REM's "Electrolite")
Dear lord, guys. Someday I am going to ask Colin Greenwood what it feels like to yield such a sound. I thought he was going to split the sky open with it during "Climbing Up The Walls." Also, I advise every last one of my readers to reexamine "The Gloaming" for evidence of other-worldly messages. I will attest to their presence as of last night. It probably goes without saying that this concert, nor any of their concerts, can be compacted into language other than that which they deal in (usually lightwork and distortion), so rather than frivolous commentary, I have striven for documentation with this haiku. Do yourselves a favor and go see Radiohead live before you die.

The Pitchfork Music Festival (Sunday) at Union Park in Chicago, 7/20/08
Times New Viking
Surprise! A lady
Raged through their cacophony
Of an arrangement
The Dirty Projectors
All could fail around
This band and they'd save the day
With their loveliness
High Places
I volunteer my
Service as your bass player
Take it. You need me.
Boris
See-through magenta
Not just a kit, but a sound
Coupled with burning
HEALTH
Nomenclature to
Shed a tear to, they blew out
An eardrum or two
Les Savvy Fav
Oh, dear. Joke's on me
For judging books by titles
Small French chicks they're NOT!
M. Ward
Youthful finger work
Octogenarian soul
Sepia photo songs
The Dodos
Would not have taken
Meric to be such a ham...
Jumbo-Tron grin!
Spiritualized
Liam Gallagher
But with power, focused force
Unleashed unto us
Dinosaur Jr
I sacrificed my
Body so that Barlow could
Bless me with his smile.
Spoon
Quite keyboard savvy
These days, perhaps to distance
From Vampire Weekend?
