Again, I have Melt Banana the day after.. so I can get my herkyjerky loud punchy quirky hardcore/metal/punk type rock fix, except in yelps instead of Grinch belches.
LeCoq is going to slime this tour before I get a chance to enjoy it clean and dry. The shame!

Yup, and earlier on Thursday, she's playing live on KEXP. Poor poor girl. Someone get her a fan and some Evian, girlfriend! (I won't be able to hear or see either, as I'll be a working donut)
Thanks for the Books reminder, I want to go to that. Not so hot on Mia Doi Todd, tho.
My friend has basically threatened me to go see The Books, so I have no choice. I've heard of but never heard Mia Doi Todd.
I'm on the fence about Melt Banana now. :/

MIA was OK. The beats were coming across all muffled at first, but I might have just been too close to the stage (although I don't remember that being a problem at the Knitting Factory show). Her encore was URAQT and the PFT version of Bingo (!), so that was pretty great.
LCD was fucking great. There was no way they were going to top their show at the Echo, which is pretty much my favorite show I've ever been to, but once they got going last night (I personally thought On Repeat didn't work so well live, but everything after Daft Punk Is Playing At My House was pretty much golden) it just all clicked. JM was so smashed off the bottle of peppermint Schnapps he brought onstage that he kept fucking up the words to Losing My Edge (although to be fair, I'm not sure if it's possible to do that song justice live). Yeah/Throw was one of the absolute best performances of a song I've ever seen live in my entire life, although I will admit that in no way did I recognize Throw until I read this thread. The encore of Jump Into The Fire was fucking batshit awesome, but unfortunately I was too exhausted from like two and a half straight hours of dancing to adequately lose my shit. GREAT climax to a set. GREAT GREAT GREAT.

How can a DJ/MC ever have bad sound???? I mean, even with little or no soundcheck, there's little or no excuse!
― peepee (peepee), Monday, 16 May 2005 20:51 (twenty-one years ago)
Sometimes, it's the venue soundpeoples' fault.
Sometimes, it's the DJ's fault for not recognizing the idea of volume level compromise.
Sometimes, the MC has no concept of mouth-to-mike distance, how to deal with monitor proximity, etc.
Need I go on?

LCD Soundsystem blew me away. I expected them to be good, but they were pure aces! No surprises, now that the cover of "Slowdive" is an integral part of their set, but there was one cover - the closing number - that I didn't recognize (anyone?). "Tribulations" was definitely the highlight of the set.
An aside: What's up with the indie kids barely nodding their pomaded coifs at this most dancingest of shows? Fucking move people!! That's what music like this was meant to do to you.
The afterparty w/ Diplo & Ghostly DJs at Oslo must have been pleasurable as well, though my memory of the evening gets a little hazy at that point.

MIA was way better than I expected, though she started way late (rushed to shovel down my food at the Majestic Cafe, didn't even have coffee, only to wait for what seemed an hour for her to begin). The BushBlair thang at the beginning was hilarious. She seemed more comfortable on stage than probably early on the tour. (I can see why, though, she wouldn't go over too well at an instore)I was pleasantly surprised at the energetic crowd response. (as for the karaokeness of her set, ain't that the nature of the MC/DJ setup?)
LCD were great as well, though too loud for my old ears (why do we forget our earplugs? they're still ringing loudly now). The drummer awed me! I love having the drummer set up like that, especially if they are great. The highlight for me was the encore, which, musically, was IFeelLove, but lyrically not. One thing is for certain: Nancy's HOTTT!
(another thing's for certain: I can't wait til we pull a California, and ban smoking from gigs!)

the bush/blair thing was great i agree. laughter was a nice way to start off the night.
first time i've seen an opening band brought back out for an encore in a long time.
one of my favorite parts was m.i.a. giving her hype girl a hard time about smoking too much pot. ("we're on tour i can't help it!!")
oh yeah, and the music was good, too. heh. highlights of lcd: "daft punk", "movement", "tribulations" (ace ace ace), "throw", "on repeat"...i can't remember the whole setlist because of the tequila! band sounded tight and excellent. and murphy as sheila e. is a must-see.

Owing to my girlfriend and I having our anniversary dinner at an understaffed Indian restaurant we got there a bit late, missed MIA's set and caught most of LCD Soundsystem's. Tight, good sound, a lot of people, massive disco ball.
1. Beat Connection2. On Repeat3. Give It Up4. Daft Punk5. Tribulations6. Movement7. Losing My Edge8. Slow Dive9. Yeah------------ (I assume on the set list this indicates wait for a couple of minutes to come back for the encore)10. Jump Into the Fire
That's the setlist, but I recall that the first encore was a song I wasn't familiar with, possibly this Paperclip People "Throw" song or what not, and then they left, and came back for a second encore with the Nilsson cover.
After the show, Murphy said Seattle and Montreal had been the best dates on the tour, complained about his heartburn and then expressed a desire to get some poutine.
