Re: the Yoni Wolf lyric "I'm still here"... that's from Eskimo Snow. (And I'm still here, barely understanding what truth that rarely calls). Wow on your recognition of the lyric "someone swing a scythe against me"... good ears!
thanks for the review!

Couldn't agree more about Monotonix.

I have the world's biggest crush on yoni wolf. He's so fucking sexy.
Hearing him sing "Gemini" makes me wish he would 'tongue me down'.

You definitely nailed it Grandy, Monotonix suck ass. We caught the first 10 minutes of their show at last years sxsw (and yes there was fire) before bolting for the door. Too many decent bands to waste time on this. Memorable show, yes. Memorable music, alas no.

Best acts I saw on Wednesday: Cut Off Your Hands, Ladyhawke, Heartless Bastards, Human Highway, Dananananaykroyd, An Horse. Biggest disappointment: Ida Maria cancelled.
Best shows Thursday: The motherfucking Wrens, who just killed it at their afternoon 'rehearsal', Passion Pit, Telekinesis, General Fiasco. And despite Pitchfork's completely unprofessional hatchet job on their album, the Airborne Toxic Event show was excellent.

And biggest disappointment Thursday: Daniel Johnston. Yeah, I know the man's an Austin legend and all that, and yeah the crowd went apeshit, but come on, be serious. Massive pot belly, in stained tshirt and dirty sweatpants, needs the lyrics to his own songs right in front of him the whole set, only played guitar himself on one song and flubbed it badly, pretty serious Parkinson's disease tremor, and kept apologizing for 'not practicing' before the show. If it hadn't been for the decent backing band, it would have been a total mess. Honestly, even legends should know when it's time to retire.
