Well pu... HEY!

As for my LB > DFA sentiment, it's the rawness. My persona is often way too nice for its own good, and Wonderful Rainbow helps bring me back into balance bringing out the psycho/violent/no-control side (normally in the form of an evil grin or just jumping around my apartment). It's the sort of stuff I lose myself in. That's why Wonderful Rainbow is my favorite heavy non-Maynard/non-Trail of Dead album I've heard in the last 3 years. I like what DFA I've heard, but it doesn't have the same effect for me.

I thought this ( :ass:

) was the evil smile.

Kelly Osbourne? Say it ain't so.

Isn't one of the DFA guys dating Kelly Osbourne?

Anyway.

The thing about ear plugs is that yah they protect your ears, but they completely detract from my enjoyment of the show. I saw the USAISAMONSTER last week from right in front of the speakers, and found it to sound dull. I moved back for the last song, took out the ear plugs and finally got it. That shit's got to be loud.

No, one of the guys from the Unicorns is.

I agree about earplugs. In fact, I found myself intermitently pulling them out to get the true feeling of the show.
Sidenote to you, Jonathan: Have you heard a Montreal band called Les Angles Morts? I saw them last night in Nashville. Pretty freaky somewhat psych-noise. Thought you'd be in to it.

Yah, I definitely know Les Angles Morts. Miles (guitar) is a good friend of mine's boyfriend. I quite like them actually. They're one of my favourite local bands, I suppose, but I've seen bad shows as well as good. They often have fairly endearing visuals as accompaniment, as they were film students where I went to school. They were the band that were supposed to bring Lightning Bolt up to Montreal finally for a few tandem shows, but that rumour turned to ca-ca like the rest. Anyway, I think Les Angles Morts could be really good if they focused their sound a bit. Sometimes it becomes a little wayward and noodly. Lastly, their drummer was kicked out of the Arcade Fire during the band's EP launch. That was a scene and a half.

Wow. Small world. I thought they were a bit noodly, just like you mentioned. Some of the keyboard squiggle reminded me of Oneida in a weird way. There were literally 5 people in the club watching them. Hate when that happens. I kinda liked what I heard though.
