Back from ATP!

Here is a field recording I did of Mercury Rev's set: http://rapidshare.com/files/147532676/Mercury_Rev_live_at_ATP.mp3.html

I have TONS of stories, Mark took $50 from Steve Albini at the card table! I will get pics from the Bone and update them here along with anecdotes. But for now, enjoy the above (Rev was fucking GOOD! Get Highline tickets!) and wait for more tales to emerge.

The Rev set was mostly All of Dream and Deserter's Songs (Funny Bird, bitch!) with a few tracks from Snowflake Midnight sprinkled in. Grasshopper sounded sick, the rhythm section was great, and Donahue was much more flamboyant than I remember him. Perhaps it had something to do with the bottle of wine he was swigging from the whole time.
