Saw Destroyer the other night with Frog Eyes as the backing band and well, I wasn't quite into it. Last time I saw Daniel (on Streethawk tour), I think he had Summer Hymns or someone backing him up and it was fucking fantastic. This time it seemed a little amateurish, though. Actually, I found the singer/guitarist from Frog Eyes to be a flat-out, annoying scenery eater, and he really ruined Destroyer for me.

Anyone else?

Now I don't feel so bad about not seeing them at Stormy Records a couple of weeks ago.

more importantly, i'd be very curious to hear how the songs on Your Blues translated.

As for the match-up, sometimes great + great = not so great. Linkous / Daniel Johnston, Wolf Eyes / Black Dice, Kurt / Burroughs, etc. Like, ever have a pizza a la mode?

i thought it was fan-freakin-tastic. one of the best live shows i've seen in a lond time (esp. when it comes to familiar [album] songs coming alive in a different way on stage). the live show was really complementary to the record, for me.
