well, i didn’t go this year mostly because there weren’t enough bands i was excited enough about to buy a plane ticket, and the ones that i was stoked on are playing/have played in my hometown in the near future. (for the record, both battles AND new pornos were on the list of excited-about, and what’s the deal with the lack of jazz coverage? i would have been all up in craig taborn’s business being all like, ‘junior what?and who the hell are the ponys?’) but i’ll say this, yancey, i found a reason to go next year: stomping scenesters on the court. prison rules, i call.

if you’re such a pavement/malkmus fan, surely you know the song is called EXTRADITION and not “Expedition”…that being said, for a sloppy show Malk slayed.

I’m sure the New Pornographers will survive without your backing. Iron & Wine though? You might have sunk ‘em. Look for Sam muttering “Yancey… why?” in a homeless shelter in a few years.

I hear you on the “what moves me” bit, though. I dislike blogs in general, for example, but enjoy reading 17 Dots. [Places Battles fan club pin next to A.C. Newman bobble-head on shelf.] Thanks for being picky — for reals.

Would love to have seen Mr. Malkmus. Sounds like a good time overall.

the battles fan club is an open, welcome society! no allegiances necessary at all — for reals!

yeah, not really a fan of either band. i dunno man. i’m just a picky dude. too much so for sure, but i can only dig what moves me.

Yes, Daniel, Esq. Swearing off any allegiance to the New Pornographers and Iron and Wine is a requirement for admission into the Battles fan club.

Worthwhile report, otherwise!
