requesting post-show review

[riffblaster general]

can do.  i ordered one of those blue microphones that clips onto an iphone and im hoping it comes in on monday so i can record the show.

we played a festival with black mountain in norway a couple years ago and they were amazing.  really looking forward to seeing them again.

i picked up their new one a few weeks back but i've only given it a couple of listens.  good stuff but i think In The Future is a hard one to follow-up.  this now makes me want to go listen to Pink Mountaintops…

[riffblaster general]

in the future is hard to top.  the more i listen to wilderness heart the more i love it though.

riffblaster… any post show black mountain review? theyre playing the el rey here the day before thanksgiving.

[riffblaster general]

yes! thanks for reminding me…..

it was a two band show.  I really like Black Angels' albums but live it gets really repetitive and sort of boring.  I have a short attention span so after a little while they sort of lost me.  I think if i was on drugs i would have probably enjoyed it alot more.  That said, their new record is great, just not the best thing to stand up and watch.

Black Mountain was GREAT.    Mostly stuff from the new record.  They played all of the "heavy" songs on the new one as well as one of the acoustic tracks (buried by the blues).  They didnt play the hair song which i was sorta surprised by.    a good selection from in the future as well.....stormy high, wucan, stay free, angels.  from the first record they only played druganaut (and j mascis sat in on guitar which was awesome).    i would have loved to hear dont run our hearts around and queens will play but the set was great.  good energy, good pacing, they sounded amazing and were super tight.  they played about an hour and a half and it flew by.  dont miss em!!!!

@Geo:

Sorted out about 40 thousand tracks so far and thought about rying make an "Ironheart" playlist - not by reference but by sound, whatever the hell that might be - answers on a postcard pls.

Humbly submitted for forum approval…

This song, somewhat for its lyrics and theme, somewhat for the 'rolicking' melody and syncopation, could work as part of an IH playlist.  Definately fits my interpretation of 'Americana', in a bit of a abstract/esoteric, but appropriate way.

Artist(s): Nomeansno
Song: Heaven is in the Dust Beneath My Shoes
Album: All Roads Lead to Ausfahrt

Plus, they're punk rock grandpas.
