The Moon Will Send You Back
Just got back from seeing Richard Buckner a little bit ago, accompanied by Doug Gillard from Guided By Voices. It was good. He played a lot of stuff off of Meadow, which pumped up the volume at times despite there being only two axe-slingers. I have to admit, the performance seemed a little perfunctory, but his voice was beautiful as usual. It was also marred somewhat by a few groups of people who thought it would be a good idea to talk loudly while he was playing. Why anyone would pay $13 to chat it up and not listen is beyond me. Perhaps that contributed to the aforementioned perfunctoriness and decibel-level.
In the end, however, these are mere quibbles. The music was good, and I don't think that there were more than 70 people there. When I've seen him in Ann Arbor, the crowd has been signficantly larger. Don't know why.
Oh, and by the way: Go Tigers!
