MFNW DAY THREE
the lineup:
Weinland
Blue Giant
Laura Veirs
The Decemberists
Akron Family
Menomena
this evening’s winner: The Decemberists
side notes:
It’s a bad sign when an already mellow artist says: ‘we’re gonna slow things down…’.
Covers that people know are a good idea.
As a band: relax. Play well. We like you; that’s why we’re here.
Youth could care...

MFNW DAY TWO
the lineup:
Male Bonding
Surfer Blood
Brownish Black
Fractal Quintet
Phantom Jameson
this evening’s winner: Phantom Jameson
side notes:
Expect the expected.
Untalented musicians in large numbers = semi-good music.
Jazz clubs win.
Jazz club waitresses also win.
Sometimes you just can’t see every show.

MFNW DAY ONE
the lineup:
Washed Out
Phantogram
Ra Ra Riot
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
The Thermals
David Bazan
this evening’s winner: David Bazan
side notes:
Punk Rock has become boringly accessible.
Female cellist’s are beautiful.
Vocal reverb can be effectively messy.
Female violinist’s are also awesome.
Bazan + greasy old guitarist + young bassist/drummer = music. Great...

DOWN, NOT OUT
With a swift pull this noose disappears from my neck
The rush of release covers the guilt of decision
But as restraint meets the ground
One thought ties to my fingers
That he who lives at the fullest
Is the man that falls forward
