Old Timers?

What a weird thing it must be to write a setlist when your repertoire contains a gajillion songs. Sled Island did a find job of booking some classics. I was happy to catch little bits of Jonathan Richman, Mogwai, and Yo La Tengo.



Yo La brought some "Big Day Coming" which made me especially happy (even if the riff just went on and on and on and on). It's also a joy to watch James McNew. What a dude.



I was especially pumped to finally see Wire but their set was a little eh. It was disappointing to learn that Bruce Gilbert was no longer in the band, and they definitely suffered from "not playing enough songs that Ashod loves" syndrome. Still, what a joy to open for them and also, what a joy to see Colin wandering around the main site the following evening snapping photos with his little elf (just like me!)
