Comments on "Gonna Walk Around And Drink Some More"

good post, eric. made me wish i'd been there.

Very nice work, you got the best of that place.

Cheers.

yes, excellent description of the day's events. i agree that bjork, the arcade fire and electrelane were the highlights (although i really liked ghostland observatory quite a bit, too). one thing, though... i dont think owen pallett was there. the napolean dynamite-looking guy is richard reed parry. owen seems to tour with them only sporadically. which is too bad, because the violinist who they had last night (who i guess "fills in" for owen) was the weak link in the chain, with little-to-no stage presence. But still, the show was amazing.

i saw bjork in seattle a few years ago, and yesterday's show easily beats it. she was just way into it. the last third of the show, especially, was just out of control. it's totally new rave.

Fuuccccckkkkkkk! You're so right, mirror. I'm retarded. Also, while trying to type out "Fuuccccckkkkkkk" I accidentally discovered this character on my keyboard:

Ï

I don't know what it's proper name is, so I'm calling it "Owen Pallet Jr" for now.

it's = it is

its = singular possessive

FUCCCUCCCCKCKKCKKKKKK ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ

And... Owen Pallet wasn't there... Richard Reed Perry was playing that big drum, and Win's brother was doing all the rest of the fucking around.

Thank you! I feel like you red my mind and obviously said everything way better. And for the shows I missed, thanks for the recap.

You described my feeling at the end of the day perfectly: "Björk was utterly transcendent, and there was no way Sunday could possibly top it. Better to leave on an ecstatic note, still high on first love with Sasquatch and the Gorge."

Too true and well put!

shucks you write good
