COS just named Titus Andronicus their live band of the year. Couldn't really agree more. I forgot to put them in my list, but they are just unbelievable live. Need to be at Bonnaroo next year; they'd make a ton of people into fans there. Thursday tent-headlining set would be perfect.

They were a last minute addition. I thought back to the concerts I honestly enjoyed and they made it up there. I know they're a joke now to most people, and I rarely listen to their albums anymore; but they still fuckin rock live. It's kind of a nostalgic thing I suppose. If it were a 'top 10 ever' list one of their shows would've made it into my top 3, to be honest. I was actually impressed about how good they still were live.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
