People SHOULD have requested refunds after Yo La Tengo's set -- Built to Spill may have tweaked a vote here and there, but YLT completely ignored them. Four new songs? C'mon.

At one point, they started a song that sounded for all the world to me like "Comedown," by Bush. I mentioned this to the person next to me. They were amused, probably more at my expense than at my witticism. Yeah. I am pretty amazed at Doug Martsch's ingenuity that he managed somehow to squeeze in a long, boring jam into an (otherwise amazing) REQUEST-ONLY set. But more on that later today, after I manage to recover 35 percent more of my humanity than I am currently in possession of. I had never listened to Jesus Lizard before last night.
