The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Depreciation Guild, Cymbals Eat Guitars
Logan Square Auditorium
September 8


"I think this is the first time anyone has been kicked out for moshing at a Pains of Being Pure at Heart show"

Between them, the combined p4k score for Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Cymbals Eat Guitars is 16.7. Dang, that's better than any one Beatles album! [but my math could be off...and also Rubber Soul is likely still better]

[and wow, that's an awful picture...sorry.]

"Jump," you say? With a soft "g" sound? Hm. I think I like "gump" better, but ok.

Also, for future reference, the next time I'm in Minneapolis: Midtown Greenway
