For bmarkey:
The Bob Mould album is all right. I'm not crazy about the club beats and the Cher-style vocal distortion on a few of the songs, but the songs are good and I think it'll grow on me.
Gang of Four was excellent. They were energetic and slightly chaotic and a lot looser than I expected. Guitars were hurled. Baseball bats were swung. All performance, but it was just intense enough to throw the audience a little off balance: are they really angry? Is he going to snap and hurl that baseball bat into someone's face? I liked it very much.
Tomorrow: Douchebags!
