2. They put on a tremendous show at the Metro on Thursday, regardless of what this intellectually intimidated reviewer had to say. Pre-conceived biases were showing. He obviously doesn't like the new album. (Pitchfork begs to differ, and I'll cast my lot with Pitchfork over any Chicago Tribune reviewer other than Greg Kot.) I also didn't catch any of the smugness Mr. Klein observed at the show. I sensed a genuine connection with the audience. (Perhaps my biases are now showing.) Erudite, yes. Smug, no. Perhaps Mr. Klein prefers dumbed-down, cookie-cutter, cliche rock in the era of Bush. Or, perhaps I am just erudite and smug like C0lin Meloy. You be the judge.
3. They have a blog.
4. They had all their gear stolen.
5. They have a fund if you are so moved to help them replace their gear.
6. They have a very cool new video for their song, 16 military wives. (QuickTime required.)
