Relentless Garage
2 November 2009
I don't get it, although I am sure it is just one of my many failings.
Go and see The Acorn, same thing happens. Glory Hope Mountain is a thoughtful and carefully constructed album, but they play the songs live and suddenly it's all wailing licks.
Similarly, JV starts with Too Much Time, his new single, a poignant and beautiful track. Nicely done, but why peak so soon? And then it all goes guitar-centric.... maybe all the sensitive singer-songwriters are really just frustrated rockers? There is a film somewhere on The Internet of the JV band playing quite recently in a bookshop (?) in Montreal/Quebec/somewhere, which of course I can't now locate, that I happily watched all the way through. Unlike last night....
COYB do some niceish things, albeit predictably - harmonies, cello - but are mainly going for epic hugeness, baby. *looks elsewhere*
EDIT: I forgot! Where was Basia? If you fuckers sell and promote gigs with performers names attached, why is it ok for the bands to be changed at the last minute with no publicity? Nice! (or should that be Wankers!)
