P:ano
Apparently one half of Architecture in Helsinki learned how to play the other half's instruments, stopped taking their happy pills, and (as K-Tel pointed out) hired Jens Lekman to sing. In the words of a younger and cuter Soundgarden, LAME!
The Books
Arguably the best part of the show--which, keep in mind, I thoroughly enjoyed--was the projected footage that the band had cobbled together from thrift store video gems. Think vignetted clips of the Mormon founders removing and replacing their hats for the entire length of a song, or (though this doesn't hold with the found art theme) 40-50 increasignly sexual anagrams of the word "meditation." Hooray for wordplay! After the show, we accidentally barged backstage and managed to say a very embarrassed hello.
Audience
Whoa, hey, it's only been a couple of years and already I've forgotten all about college kids. Been a while since I've seen that many attractive yet uninteresting hipsters in one place. Highlights include the Make-Out Twins, Overenthusiastic Laugh Man, and Sleeping Afro Boy.
