Agreed 100%. Is it me or do the new versions of songs on The Rhumb Line ("Dying Is Fine", "Can You Tell", "Ghost", etc) not even come close to matching the bright eyed urgency of the same songs on previous recordings. Still think the demo version of "Dying..." with John Pike is, by far, the best.

My bad, it just looked weird the way you wrote. I resend my argument.

hell of a week of shows, eh? first the port o'brien/delta spirit ramble and then fleet foxes. NY almost feels like the country. At least for a few hours thursday and saturday night.

definitely one of the best shows ive seen in a while. Although your wrong about Oliver James, which is not a capella. There is indeed a fair deal of guitar in the song, as well as some slight percussion (Robin taps his acoustic to keep time and it's definitely high enough in the mix, both of record and live, that it should count as percussion)
