Back from the fest!!!
Wow. Wow wow wow... Just when I was thinking "oh, THAT band's not going to be here, or THIS band should have come..." I am still blown away by how good of a time I had with who we got to see!
Favorite shows (ranked in order of wow-factor)
#1. Sleeping at Last (played 2 new songs, and most of my favorites. Incredible show from start to finish.)
#2. Mute Math (I knew they were going to be good, but MAN... The drummer plays so hard and so fast, he has to literally duct tape his earphones to his head while he plays... and Paul? I have no idea how he makes those sounds with the Rhodes, but he does it so well I almost weep. Anyone know what tha custom thingy he plays is?)
#3. Copeland (They have learned to rock, somehow, and I am never more pleased about that)
#4. Roper (Reese and the boys always put on a great show)
#5. Showbread (Such energy, such whizz-bang enthusiasm, such screaming!)
#6. mewithoutyou (I never gave these guys much of a chance before, but now that I've seen them live, I can totally dig it...)
#7. Psalters (acoustic chanting worship with really obnoxiously huge drums, and accordians and violins, and such. Weird, perhaps, but the heart for God comes through... oh, and it sounds amazing)
#8. The Awkward Romance (local boys doing so well!)
#9. Relient K (seen them so many times live, but still don't fail to impress)
#10. Anberlin (see above comments... oh, and they had Ivory from Showbread come and scream on one song)
Two fish in a tank. One turns to the other and says, "You know how to drive this thing?"
