I got home yesterday from Florida and heard really great things about Saturday's British Sea Power show. Really wanted to see them while they were in town. I wasn't feeling great after traveling all day, but I found myself sitting at home and bored, so I went down to Bowery to check it out. Fantastic night.
Feist put on the best show I've seen her do yet (of three). I just like her much better without a band. She seems more comfortable with her songs when she's on her own. It's almost like having a the band takes away her motivation to get creative, which is when she's at her strongest. She was also able to personally connect with the audience in a way I hadn't seen her able to do in the past, which was surprising given the size of the venue in comparison to Joe's Pub and the 100 club (in London). I was very happy to still be so impressed by her.
British Sea Power was very good as well. They weren't quite as exciting and rambunctious as I was lead to believe, but they have some solid songs that came across great live. The lead singer (I'm afraid I don't know his name, and I'm a bit too tired to go look it up) may have one of the best rock voices I've ever heard. Quite haunting. Been meaning to check out the new album for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it yet. "Decline of..." is still getting plenty of plays.
I posted a few more, um, 'artistic' (read: blurry) pics here, here and here.
Have you had any problems with Bowery guards about taking pictures? What camera do you have?

The Bulova Accutron Kirkwood fake Philip Stein is the ideal gift for sports aficionados. It comes with a stainless steel solid case measuring 44 mm in diameter. It is matched by a sculpted polyurethane strap with gold logos on each side. No matter which sport you are rooting for or engaged in, you will appreciate the unidirectional rotating bezel and the ability of the movado Watches to give you a perfect time reading, thanks to the luminous hands and markers. It is also water resistant by up to 100 meters so you can bet on its durability even during the rains.
