The Most Important Question Of The Day

[Poll #1190345]

This week brought to you by jcw_da_dmg

(no subject)

Here are the rules.

Answer only one quote.

If you answer more than one I will delete your reply. If there are quotes still not answered the next day I will open it up to any and all guesses.

Most weeks there is a theme. If there is not a theme I will tell you. The theme is open to guess even if you have guessed a quote.

There is a theme, and it is a variation on a theme by suggested barondave (so he can guess the quotes but not the theme)

And the theme has been guessed by selenesue, it is second movies

Don't use a search engine (like this can be enforced). If you don't know, you don't know. Maybe next week you will.

You must either be signed into LJ, or say who you are (in case you are a friend of mine who is not on LJ). All anonymous answers will be deleted (hey, I'm obsessive, I want to know who guesses these). Oh, and don't guess as a reply to someone else's guess, on a busy day that makes it hard for me to spot your answer.

All of the quotes have been guessed ... tune in next week for more of the same.

The weekend

So I ended up going to Omaha Saturday night. It was well worth it. I posted briefly yesterday, but I feel the need to expand.

I was thinking about going to the Twin Cities since it looked like I was going to be WSPA-less all weekend, but they ended up coming over Friday night. That and I had no place to stay. It was well worth it.

The venue is amazing. All state of the art and amazing acoustics - theslowdown.com

There were four bands

The Black Squirrels
Kind of poppy country folk with a slightly wise-ass attitude. Not great, but they have the potential to be a really good band. I bought the CD.
Thunder Power
90s shoe-gazer pop. I didn't think much of them
McCarthy Trenching
Piano playing singer songwriter, see above.

Midwest Dilemma
Wow. Just wow. 14 or so people on stage. Let me see if I remember this. percussion, drums, mandolin, standup bass, accordion, electric guitar, flute, clarinet, pedal steel guitar, trumpet, tuba, acoustic guitar, and another horn, I think as well as members of the lead singers family singing backup on a song. And in the middle of all this Justin Lamoureux on guitar and vocals.

His songs are some of the best that I have heard in years. The show was the entire CD in order from beginning to end. It is the story of members of his family from 1662 to last year.

I have never heard anything like it. The CD is great but live it is SO much more powerful. This massive sound that was still so intimate and direct. The dynamics of the band are unlike anything I have ever seen in a rock band context. It's a chamber orchestra turned pop and Americana. When the band would hit you with everything you felt it like some giant hand holding you close. And when Justin did a song by himself toward the end of the show, it was like you were in his living room and he was playing just for you. It was sublime, powerful, beautiful, sad and charming. If you get a chance to see any version of this band, (and it is an ever changing thing, I saw them with just Justin, Liz on Clarinet and Jaclyn on flute and it still had that same power) do not hesitate. It will be well worth your time.

And buy the CD. It's not for everyone. But if you want music with sweep and grandeur that still manages to climb into your heart and soul, get this CD. It takes a lot to reduce me to gibbering fanboy. This band went WAY past that point this weekend.
