Saw Super 8 and didn't really like it. It was entertaining enough, but pretty lightweight all things considered. Nowhere near in the league of Goonies, ET, etc.

Group A The Flaming Lips Matt & Kim
Group B Wilco
Group C Bassnectar Guided By Voices
Group D Modest Mouse The Decemberists
Group E Death Cab for Cutie Flogging Molly
Group F Wolf Parade
Group G Ratatat
Group H Foo Fighters Death From Above 1979
Group D was a sonofabitch. I picked Decemberists over Sleigh Bells only because Sleigh Bells were like 30 mins late. AND LIGHTNING.

They are striking at the provincial mail sorting hubs, so although the strikes are only for a day, the mail can actually end up getting much further behind. I love every interview they have on the news with the 20-something-year-old, sticking to the, " Mail? My fucking Gran uses that shit, I gots the Blackberry and Iphone, everything is fucking digital broski" line. But seriously, I love the mail, I love getting letters, and catalogs and especially my records/cd's/albums, I enjoy the waiting and checking the mailbox daily. Seriously, how fun was waiting for the Boarders Mix Cd....No One? People will seriously miss it if they do more than this 24-hour rotating strike bullshit, and move on to the full picket lines; they might not notice right away, but they will notice eventually, I promise. Totally feel you Rust. I don't buy much stuff online anymore, but I know the feeling of waiting everyday for the fedex guy, ears pricking up whenever there's a knock at the door, the sinking feeling of coming home and seeing the "I came and you weren't home" note they leave on your door, then the elation when your shit finally comes. Ground mail, it's where it's fucking at.

And they ended their set a little early i think? They should've played "Kissing the Beehive" instead of "California Dreamer" Possibly my 2 favourite Wolf Parade songs. Too bad they are around 16 minutes together, which is 1/3 of their set time. Glad they played California Dreamer, I love dancing to that song, but when they had about 10 minutes left I realized they wouldnt play both and it put me down for about half a second until I heard the first notes of California Dreamer. Apparently their Vancouver show they played for over 2 hours, which is much more reasonable for a "last show ever". Yeah, I really like California Dreamer as well, just would've preferred Kissing the Beehive (and they had the time to do it too). Here's the setlist for the vancouver show: www.setlist.fm/setlist/wolf-parade/2011/commodore-ballroom-vancouver-bc-canada-bd33d96.htmlpretty much perfect. Would've loved to hear Soldier's Grin at Sasquatch. At Mount Zoomer was the first album I heard of theirs and that song will always have a special place in my heart.

also, even though I lost my shit when they played it, I though Wolf Parade could have done a better job with "I'll Believe In Anything." That song deserves only the most epic of treatments.

I agree and disagree with HG re: Decemberists, even though I didn't realize it at the time. Fucking blows we heard nothing off (at least) Castaways and Cutouts, but at the same time every song they played was fricken rad and Mariner's Revenge Song was awesome. I proudly screamed (like a dork) and danced my ass off during that finale.
And the lightning, fuck yeah.
But to keep this on topic: S CAREY WAS SO GOD DAMN BORING.

I mean, I often can't get enough STS9. So 3 shows plus an acoustic set pretty much makes it a must buy right? riiiiiiiiight?

Wow, that's actually a huge get for Mutek then, seeing as it's like Montreal's third biggest festival.
