    Primavera Sound 2009:
    Liars - Best band of an amazing weekend. Easily one of my favourite bands in the world so seeing them in Barcelona was always going to be a bit special. So many highlights from an impeccable set. Such good banter too, "we'd like to thank Neil Young for opening for us!" Brilliant.: 5/5

    My Bloody Valentine - What's a word that means better than incredible? That's what MBV were. Being physically moved by You Made Me Realise is one of the greatest moments of live music I've ever experienced.: 5/5

    Yo La Tengo - One of the bands I was most looking forward to, they played such a good set, nice mixture of old and new, Autumn Sweater was the highlight for me, I've been completely obsessed with that song for quite some time now, it was performed to perfection. The new stuff they played sounded great, high hopes for the upcoming album!: 4.5/5

    Sonic Youth - Come on, it's Sonic flippin' Youth for crying out loud…

    ons 20 feb – The Mars Volta

    The down side of TMV live is the sensation of being humbled as a musician or songwriter. They are fucking gods (fucking as a verb).
    The composition was impressive. The opener, Roulette Dares, must have went on for about 15 minutes. Turns out the real opener was the second number, Viscera Eyes. A massive, potent display of power. This is beautiful. I can't remember how long it's been... actually, it must've been Hultsfred 2005, since I've seen or heard anything like this.

    It looks like shapelessness in passages are less frequent, the following three numbers are filled with tension, anger.
    Tetragrammaton... well, I don't know. The drummer lost track, Omar was angered. The second half was the only boring part, for maybe 10 minutes. Still, the songs from Amputechture are much better than the album recordings. I'm thinking that it could be a bit too strange production, the album gets harder to listen to that it really would have to be. Agadez following gets us back on crack.
