i was not feeling the long ranger - sorry. as eric grandy pointed out, the sound was really lacking - i wasn't even sure the guitarist was doing anything for the first half of the show.

my BIGGEST gripe with the show is the long pause between sets (how long does a soundcheck take for a v-drum and an akai run through an ms-20 clone when it is already set up on stage?). playing bjork's 'vespertine' right before digitalism is like sipping sizzurp before a rollercoaster. 'vespertine' has its place (the section of my cd collection that barely gets touched), but before a high energy show? for thirty-ish minutes? really?

luckilly it didn't take away from the energy once the show started. massive.
