Go to the pool party tomorrow. There a million reasons not to go. It’s hot. It’s crowded. I have to do my laundry. I have to cook. I have to watch the last season of Gilmore Girls. Forget all those lame excuses (even though there was one legitimate excuse included). I’ve heard good things about the new pool party venue, I’ve heard it hasn’t been too insanely crowded so far, and all three of these bands are fairly top-notch (No Age being the one that I think is maybe not as good at what it does as the other two, but still very good). Deerhunter’s Memory Cassette Exchange is a beautiful project, and their live show is always entertaining, since you never know what you’re going to get with Bradford. So enough of the “Oh, I don’t know, it’s free and all, but I don’t feel like schlepping all the way over there,” and just get out and see great, free live music!

Deerhunter > No Age >Dan Deacon. That’s the way it is.

Well, that’s probably true. But what I said was Dan Deacon and Deerhunter are better at what they do, specifically. What I mean by that is I think Dan Deacon is pretty much tops when it comes to fun, dancey, electronic music, simply on the merits of his exciting live show. Also, his new album really was a cut above the last. No Age, on the other hand, is probably a more advanced band and way more interesting than Dan Deacon when it comes down to it, but more people are doing what No Age are doing, and several do it better. No Age’s live show was a bit of a let-down for me, though it was a SXSW Sub Pop showcase. Deerhunter, unquestionably, are the best in the bunch. I LOVE that new Bradford/Noah track.
I don’t really know, though. Just kind of playing devil’s advocate.

I’ve never seen No Age’s live show, given that I didn’t have $8000 to spare for Sam at Windish.
