Dispatches from the Third Row, Center-Left
Tune in to Ch. 1 tonight from 6:30 - 8 pm CDT to catch The National’s performance at the Bonnaroo festival.
That was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for the heads-up!
Hope someone captured the audio. Annie was great. “Squalor Victoria” was perfect. So glad they put “I Should Live in Salt” at the beginning of the set, too, while Matt’s vocal cords were still intact. (Slight shift in mood at the end, though, yes? That was an odd little exchange after “Mr. November.”)
Was Matt on a second bottle? ;) He definitely switched from red to white. …Summer!
The Guardian, in association with Wilderness Scotland, used “Three-Two” by Clogs in a short video about Scotland’s Knoydart peninsula.
Every so often I just miss Scotland, out of the blue. I mean, look at it.
One more video of the Antlers at Le Poisson Rouge last night (June 12, 2013). I had supposed that the singalong by certain drunken audience members would mess up this video of “Bear,” but they didn’t quite succeed. I’m mostly impressed with myself for keeping the camera still for the last minute and a half.
haha, did he forget the lyrics?
Yep, he did! Which was the one tiny flaw in the whole performance. It was a great show. :)

At the Barclays Center for The National, I had adorable cartoon penguins on my wrist. Tonight, mustaches. I am delighted by recent developments in wristband design.
I will be on the rail for the Antlers. Except they’re playing LPR tonight, so there is no rail. I’ll be standing with my knees against the edge of the stage.
Starting to suspect the audience is going to be full of twerps, sadly, but they’re also all going to be standing behind me. :)
We’re celebrating our fifth anniversary all week!
I can’t believe that the current incarnation of this venue has only been around for five years, because in that short period of time, it has become the best music venue in New York City, and perhaps the entire country.
Happy anniversary, LPR!

Anyone got $18 million to spare?
I don’t usually look at NYC Luxury Real Estate Porn — it’s just not healthy — but this particular penthouse is too gorgeous to not fantasize about just a little.
Same as this one. I have another account with a different username where my handful of videos are currently uploaded, but I had linked that account and its username to a blog I’m no longer updating, so I’ve decided to migrate my handful of existing videos over to flyingneutrino.
I’m catching up on my YouTube uploads. (In other words, I’ve run out of room on my iPhone.)
Have I revealed to my Tumblr followers that I am a massive Beatles fan? Like, I-could-win-at-trivia, I’ve-got-a-shelf-full-of-books, I’ve-been-to-Liverpool-just-to-see-McCartney-play-a-hometown-gig massive? Probably not, because my blog is 95% recent music. Recent musical obsessions are not the only ones, however.
George is my favorite.
So, it sounds like the first day of Governors Ball was a blast.
Aw, shucks. Thanks, guys.
Bryce’s hair is magnificent, but yes, he should probably hit the reset button soon. Help him out, Scott?
