i like a subset of his recordings, but so much of it is just sooooo slllllooooow that i'm not quite sure what the actual point of leaving the house to go see it is. he had xiu xiu on the bill with him, who i've seen many times without being a big fan of, and have kind of lost interest in since they've adopted a more stripped down punk rock format. but, that's likely the kind of thing i'd need to get out to see him. i'd like to, eventually, under the right circumstances.
i was very distracted and unproductive this week, sadly, so i've only been through this once, and it's about what you might expect from the ajj, if maybe a little bit more cheeky than the last few. his takedown of the trump-era doesn't suffer from the stupidity that seems to be ubiquitous on the soft-left right now, and that's maybe expected, as he's always struck me as well to the left of the democratic consensus. it's otherwise the usual intersection of the cynical and the surreal.
there's maybe a deeper beatles influence, which i wouldn't complain about if it became standard.
but, i'm getting the same basic disincentive that i've gotten from him for years, in that i'd expect the show to be kind of boring, and that i'll enjoy this more in my bedroom through headphones.
