what comes after the blues?
Went to see Magnolia Electric Co. tonight, in night two of a three show run for me. Jason Molina and company stuck mainly to songs of their newest, What Comes After the Blues, but also threw in a couple of new ones, and to my delight, three tracks off of the Songs:Ohia swansong that the band takes its name from. The three guitar twang on "Just Be Simple" alone would've made my night.
On a semi-related note, if you are any of the three obnoxious drunks standing beside me yelling "songs: ohia!" so much that Molina felt the need to interupt "Texas 71" with a "no, magnolia electric co." 1) None of you can sing. 2) Girl in the DFA1979 shirt, you are extremely unattractive. Yelling uncontrollably during the quiet parts only serves to bring attention to you. This is bad. 3) If you're going to talk over the music for half the show, please stay home. <./rant>

Local boys Ladyhawk opened the show. They've been around for awhile, but today was the first time I've seen them. They actually sound quite a lot like Magnolia Electric Co, albeit a little louder during the loud parts. Really great band, go check them out when you get the chance, I know I will.
In other unrelated news, the Autechre show originally scheduled for the Commodore has NOT been cancelled. It has however, been moved to Richard's. Commodore tickets are good for the new venue.

I still think that the 3 drunks were churchy youth-group expats coming down to the city because they like Tim McGraw and Songs: Ohia represents a sort of "new country" for them. The boy who kept pushing people aside as he bought more beer wins 2nd prize for obnoxiousness.
songs:ohia = "new country"?!?!
what?
jackie = "crazy"
i heart though.

yes, "songs: ohia = new country" is definitely crazy, and, more importantly, totally misguided. but that is the best way that i can describe those kids at the show.
