P.S. How do you pronounce Rdio? Like radio or arr-dio?

Modest Mouse sideshow, so damn good.
Co-signing that above guy. On the Wednesday 27 show, Isaac was so drunk that he half dropped the guitar he was holding up to his head for no reason, screamed "SPRING BREAK" with his arms in the air and basically fell off the stage, leaving the room in hushed confusion for the 10 minutes or so until he started the encore.
Brilliant.
Also Modest Mouse AT splendour was pretty amylazing.
whoops, typo.
Wish i was there.....................
Kele was surprisingly sick. Big up to the dickhead trying to fight his way to the front (that elbow to the stomach you copped from me: entirely intentional. Screw you). DJ Shadow: not bad, but a little disappointing - Shadowsphere was amazeballs, though.
Warpaint were amazing, as were Jack Ladder and Donny Benet as support acts. 'Twas an awesome night.
