I think The Decemberists are wonderful and I hear Band of Horses are close to putting out their second album. Sounds like an amazing show.

I'm curious about the new one. It's good to know he's still stealing the show from bigger names. I missed Andrew Bird the last time he came to Philly–to quote Jack Bauer, “DAMMIT!”

I wish I had the time (or energy) to go to as many shows as you. There are countless reasons why I loathe The Decemberists, but chief among them is the fact that Meloy resembles this fat kid in middle school that everyone hated.

Andrew Bird, however, I could probably see live every night for an entire year - dude puts on a hell of a performance, and deserves every bit of praise thrown his way.

Great review, Weiss. I wish I had the time (or energy) to go to as many shows as you.
