Caught the end of Grand Old Party set at Red Eyed Fly. Good live set. 

Was lucky to meet some folks who gave me a lift to a house party where I caught Toddle from Japan.  The two female guitarists were great, playing off one another. Loved the drummer too.  Indie rock genre perfected by a Japanese band. 

Caught Bobby Bare Jr. at Club Deville.  My favorite moment was his cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths.

In a repeat of last year, found myself watching Thurston Moore outside at Mohawk.  No Steve Shelly this year.  Thurston was his usually self, acting 19. 

Ended the evening with N.E.R.D at Stubbs, which was packed with bodies getting spastic.  Weird hybrid of industrial and rock turned anthem.
