Thankfully, Libby, Alex, Sophie, Graham, Sam, Sarah and I all were herded up by Miles to go see Gotye last night. I probably would have forgotten if it had been up to me, like I did with The Shins.
Gotye was beautiful. Although most of his live goodness was due to his lanky charisma, rather than the vibe of the music. So much of the music was presampled that it didn't fully feel like a live concert. But his songs are so good and his lankiness is so lanky that you couldn't help but love it all.
You forgot Alex!
I loved the bit where he goes “now i’m going to play this song on my own” and then put on that exceedingly complex backing track that he drummed along to.

Oh yeah. I was going round the circle and I missed her.
