The Mountain Goats and Co.

Good Concert. I approve wholeheartedly. The opening act, Erick Friedlander, played interesting cello pieces such as "I am Filthy" and "Here comes the Madwoman." The Mountain Goats played a very enjoyable set of songs with audible lyrics and well-played instruments. Also, John Darnell of the Goats was hillarious between sets, and an apparent former meth addict. Reminds me of the recent album of Guided by Voices frontman Robert Pollard's Relaxation of the Asshole. It's basically recordings of his stage banter. Pitchfork compares it to Having Fun on Stage With Elvis. Anyways, it was a good show. The kind of show that makes you want to listen to all of the band's music and see them again and again.
