Múm concert
I-Spy: one of those clubs where you stand for three hours.
Light Heavyweight: loud guitar-pop with falsetto. Uncommunicative on stage. I think murky live sound does not flatter their style, but that's me and you know my taste in music production (viz. "over-").
Bobby Karate: laptop glitch with video synthesis. Superlatively uncommunicative on stage. Think Oval with more of a glitch-beat orientation. Good music, what ICMC concerts ought to be like. Maybe a little long. I was surprised to see experimental stuff on this line-up, and more surprised that people were into it. I like Seattle.
Múm: I was imagining something sort of like, say, Stereolab, but it turned out Godspeed You Black Emperor might be closer. Nothing struck me like it ought to be played under water, either. Instruments included cello (yay!), accordion (woo!), guitars, synths, xylophone, cranked hand-held music box with paper tape, one of those plastic-keyboard reed things you blow into the end of, and other things. They traded off of all of these, and were fun to watch. Their touring drummer was good, and it's probably not his fault the drums were mixed too high. I really liked the cello-heavy songs, especially the "last" song ("this will be our last song... unless you do the -- clapping thing.") with cello and accordion and two voices.
I noticed leaving the club my expectation that the entire crowd would flock to the 54C stop and swamp the next bus. No more.
