Aww, man, you're going to have an incredible time.
Fuck, last night was amazing.
Beach House, the openers, were okay for about 2 songs, and then extremely boring, so I don't recommend them. It's actually been awhile since I've disliked an opener a lot though.
But, Grizzly Bear tore down the house. They had control of First Avenue from the very first note of "Southern Point." Chris Taylor had to also give us props for First Ave. being the venue in Purple Rain, which we hear all the time, but it's still fun and gets a good reaction from the crowd.
Going in, I had two songs I really wanted to hear (that weren't played at Pitchfork), and we got both!
"Foreground" (Holy motherfucking hell, that was so gorgeous.) and "Colorado" (also fantastic).
And, I happened to get some sweet pictures with the new camera, so here are those--the first is by far my favorite of the batch:
Indeed. One cool thing they did that I didn't mention was bring the lead singer from Beach House up for "Two Weeks" and the fucking Twilight song. The Twilight song sounds good, but the lyrics are, well, somewhat cheesy, as was to be expected.
I stopped stacking them against each other since I really don't care which one is "better." All I need to know is they're both two of my favorite albums EVAR.
Thanks for clarifying that it's just your opinion. I was 3 seconds from throwing the non-superior album in the trash, as I thought I'd been fooled by those Knife loving bastards.
