All Your Sad and Lost Apostles

All of the new songs were exciting, and the performances of "So. Central Rain," "These Days," "Ignoreland," and "Let Me In" were outstanding. That said, I'll be writing more about the actual concert later on, so for now, let's talk about Accelerate.

A Lame Way To Comfort Yourself

Like Mercury Rev, Erica Quitzow lives and works somewhere up in the north of the Hudson Valley -- New Paltz, I think? -- but unlike them, her music doesn't really have much to do with the upstate aesthetic.

Taken at face value, it's very amusing and his craft is dazzling, but really, this is more than just a goofy, boastful skit extended to a full-length track; it's the sound of a genius who is totally exasperated by the people who ought to be considered his peers.

The Cold and Sadistic

Okay, so you know how Europeans are always like "ugh, Americans don't understand irony," and it's really smug, and you want to get defensive and say "hey, I can process irony, and I can tell when someone is kinda taking the piss, especially in a pop song!"?
