OK, maybe I should have used the word "acoustics" instead of "sound
system." My bad. There's no need to make the Bowery Ballroom sound
reasonable- it's probably my least favorite place in New York to see a
gig, even worse than the Cooler (who, [un]fortunately, books a lot of
interesting acts). Next time.... Twilo? Has anybody been downstairs @
Centro-Fly? Respond off-list if need be.
Sigur Ros- lugubrious two hour set (including one lighter-rousting ballad
and a couple songs towards the end which were downright mid-tempo), guitar
sound lifted wholesale from Slowdive, makes me want to dye my hair black
again and put eggwhites in it. Hmmm, I guess my hair's already black,
fuck.
in the same deep water as you,
