Short reflections upon the bands that I saw...
Day One
Man Man: Octothorpe's annoying little brother. Didn't know how to end a song.
Band of Horses: Mediocre. Every song is the same thing.
Mountain Goats: Highly entertaining. Highly awesome. John Darnielle has one of the best on stage personalities I've seen. He's pretty hilarious.
Destroyer: They pretty muched played the songs exactly as they sound on the album.
Art Brut: Unbearable.
Ted Leo: I know that he played a good set and the crowd loved him. I'm just not a Ted Leo fan, so my review here doesn't count.
Silver Jews: The highlight of the weekend. Even while forgetting a few of the lyrics and acting careless, the set still somehow kicked ass.
Day Two
Showed up late due to a late train and missed Danielson.
I also missed several bands due to sickness caused by taking too many medicines at once. Ugh.
Jens Lekman: He always plays great sets. I'd definitely recommend seeing him in a smaller environment.
Devendra Banhart: Meh. I thought he was kind of boring. He seemed to think that it's still 1969.
Mission of Burma: Old men that rock.
Yo la Tengo: Same thing.
Spoon: I'm not familiar with much of Spoon's music, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. But for just playing standard rock n' roll songs they were pretty good, albeit, without on-stage personality.
I didn't get to see Os Mutantes since I had to leave early in order to walk to miles to catch a train.
Overall, it was a pretty good weekend. It was probably the cleanest, most organized festival I've been to. The Silver Jews alone made the tickets worth it.

All Art Brut did was brag about how they're number one in Norway or something stupid like that.
