I love "July, July!" and "Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect" is good, but not as superawesome.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

this makes three times, and ever time in a larger venue.
Ha! Same thing here!
In Boston, Saturday night at the Paradise, they didn't do "the Tain". My biggest complaint is that the soundman didn't have the backing vocals up enough. He finally got them up to an acceptable level halfway through the set. Then two-thirds of the way through, there was some horrible screeching feedback. It was fixed, but I suspect it was at the expense of the monitors because when they came out for the encore the band did an unusual thing -- they told the soundman to shut off the PA completely and proceeded to play (acoustically) and sing with absolutely no mics. The Paradise holds 750 people yet everyone was completely quiet. They did this for three or four songs. It was quite impressive that the band could hold an audience's attention like that.

Did they do "Grace Cathedral Hill"? That's the song I missed the most from their D.C. set.

Oh, wow. I would have loved to have seen that, especially given that "Red Right Ankle" breaks. my. heart even when amplified. Unamplified, I would be a sobbing pile of goo, in a really good way.
And Jon, did the Long Winters open for them in Boston? Got an opinion on them? We liked.

I quite liked the Long Winters' When I Pretend To Fall album.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I saw the Long Winters at last year's Bumbershoot in Seattle. I liked them quite a lot. "When I Pretend to Fall" has some really great songs on it; my favorite is "Cinnamon."

Long Winters: Gets kind of samey after a while, but a few songs are strong enough to cover that sin. Also, the lead singer guy has oodles of charm and is really funny. That helps too.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
