Also, I lost my mind when Fleet Foxes played A Shrine / An Argument. What an unexpected surprise after not appearing on earlier sets!
...shit you did get the better set. Humiliation into Rachael sounds insane we did get Shrine/Argument on Tuesday though! so good
Perth last night got all of High Violet and then a whole second set, I'm insanely jealous. they even got Abel
been listening to the Paul albums a lot since the gig. they didn't even play it but I've been obsessed with Grease in Your Hair, absolute heater that I unfairly overlooked
They sounded so great last night in Toronto! I've seen them a few times now and last night Matt said "this tour is probably the most fun we've ever had". Funny, because before he had actually said that I was THINKING it. The gang is smiling the whole set and just having a total ball up there. You absolutely love to see it. I can't wait to see them again for years and years.
I have all these songs live many times over by virtue of having gotten cherry tree over the past 6 years, and I’m not as into this band as i once was. That said, an Italian flag national record is pretty funny.
The 3xLP is in the CT members store but links out to a 404 error page at the moment. Its red, green, and white vinyl.
Drove up to Madison last night for the tour. That was the worst crowd I've been in for a show in some time. No one sang along, danced, anything in GA. Pit seemed to be a bit more active from what I could see but it was lame as fuck.
