It was really effing good. I like the new album too, good songwriting, the last track especially.

If you're going, i'd skip the opener, unless it was someone different than the operatic australian duo I saw last night.

Saw them Saturday. Agreed on the show, it was excellent, and the opener was abysmally bad.

Did he skip Song for the Dumped and One Angry Dwarf at your venue too?

Crazy that he skipped them here, but it was a crowd of serious megafans, like a musical star trek convention.

Going to see them tonight with rather low expectations. Whatever and Ever Amen is on my last Listmania poll, but I've been bored by just about everything he's put out since.

They wisely spent the second half of the show in their late-nineties catalog. Spent the opening act in the bar.

Anyone heard that disc he did with Shatner? Surprisingly entertaining.

I'd heard pretty mixed reviews of his latest album, but finally gave it a listen this week and it is GREAT.

The whole thing, pretty much, except for that awful lead track ("Erase Me").
