Started off with a book fair at the Empty Bottle. Picked up stuff from Curbside Splendor, Another Chicago Magazine, The Handshake, Two With Water, Artiface and a couple novels. May have over done it:
Only spent about 20 minutes there before I booked it to Saki. Caught the second half of the last song by Foxygen. Managed to catch all of Angel Olsen's set. Amazing voice and range, fantastic presence for just her and a twelve string acoustic. Picked up John Coltrane Live at the Village Vanguard Again! Features Pharoah Sanders. Haven't listened yet, but I'm sure it's gonna be bizarre. Grabbed a burger at Longman & Eagle, undoubtedly one of the best restaurants around.
As is customary for when I go to the Metro, it has to rain. As it did for Liars:
Another tweet complaining about how it always rains when I go to the Metro.

and Spiritualized:
Ominous thunder is ominous. Always seems to rain when I go to the Metro.

earlier this year. While there's no tweet commemorating it, I'm positive it was raining when I went to see Boris last fall. As if going to Wrigleyville wasn't miserable enough. Oh well. Full review of the show (of Montreal, Wild Belle, and Foxygen) is up on Windy City Rock. Of Montreal is the @horse_ebooks of live music. They played 'Oslo in the Summertime' and 'The Past is a Grotesque Animal' so all is right in the world.
