1. The bassist did a funny mumbling thing with his lips whenever he struck a note on his bass, as if the notes were coming out of his mouth.

I didn't mention this because the lower-jaw bassist was in the opening-opening band. I win. Again.

You also forgot to mention how you pointed out to me that the guitarist in the opening band was lacking genitalia.

My exact words were, "Look, he doesn't have a package." Thanks for spilling my beer.

I've yet to catch CYHSY fever but I'm sure I will a few months too late to ever see them in a non-arena setting. Anyway, I'm going to see Nouvelle Vague on Wednesday at Canal Room in NYC--anyone else going (or want to go?) You can check out some of their songs here. They basically do bossa nova covers of punk/new wave songs and are awesome.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, here's an awesome Pixies/Dylan mashup.

I like this!

I saw them a few weeks ago at South St. Seaport. Also an awesome show. They played two songs not on the album leading into Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood to close out the show, and they were both real good (especially the one with the Satan chant, gotta love that).

After seeing them live, the Dylan cover makes complete sense, IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, the Satan chant was a lot of fun, and Shant really sounds a bit like Dylan.

As I think I mentioned in my car a couple of weeks ago, he sounds like Gordan Gano of Violent Femmes to me.

I've also seen/heard comparisons to David Byrne of Talking Heads fame, which i can kinda see from time to time.
