Amnesiac

I'm home and sleepy after the Radiohead show - such a fantastic, funny night. I go to the show, wondering if Radiohead's friends, Montreal's own The Arcade Fire would make an appearance, and they did of a sort. Nicole, hubby, Allie and I were standing amongst Win Butler and most of the band all night, out in the middle of the crowd. They looked like they were there to enjoy the show and keep a low profile, so we didn't compare notes with them or anything. It's the Canadian in me, we don't tend to harass folks. Add in some ill-timed fireworks that caused Thom to have a bit of a giggle fit mid-tune and it was an amusing night.

I'll do a full write-up later, but for now care of ateaseweb here's the set list. It was so good, with some gems from each album (except for Pablo Honey - Nicole mentioned they don't dip into that first disc too much anymore) provoking many "Is that... it is! Whoo hoo!" moments.
