I just got back from seeing Sloan at the Dakota.  It was a benefit for War Child.  I think they're the ones who make sure child soldiers get REALLY good guns??  Too Dark?  Likely.  I LOVED the show.  They are such a great band.  Great melodies, and inventive parts, mixed with the soap opera that is playing with the same group of dudes for 18 years!  It was a night of obscure tracks, and stuff they don't often play.  At one point Murphy introduced a song saying it was "from NO ONE'S favorite album", and then added "It's sort of our "Born on a Pirate Ship".  It was a lovely nod to Kev, Jim, and I who were all there enjoying the show.  He's dead at recess.  It was ragged, rough, and immediate... and it really hit the spot.  Sloan, Thanks for nearly 2 decades of great songs, and one hell of a show tonight.  Cheers.
