Saw Dan Deacon last month when he came through. Top 5 shows of all time for me. Transcendental almost. A good idea of him live can be seen for a bit on his new video here. And, yes, his tour van is a school bus. I basically started living within the singularity at his show. We were all one, living inside his computer, going through tunnels together - literally. New music this week? Jim James. State of the Art Edit - Apparently Youtube just muted the sound. It was working earlier. There is a link there for download if you want. Btw - Dan Deacon is back on another North American tour. This time opening up for mother fucking Animal Collective. See it!
I would be so overwhelmed seeing Dan Deacon live. That must have been quite the experience. Jim James is doing an AMA on Reddit on Tuesday!
That should be great. I remember reading a great piece on James in -- maybe RS? a few years ago. Can't find it, I think it must have been hard copy. Anyway, he has a real genius for introspection and perspective, which is obvious from MMJ's music, but is really born out when you hear him talk. Can't wait.
