The Oblivians (and Gories) played two sold-out nights at the Hi Tone in Memphis. It was armpit-to-armpit in the bar – and exceptionally musky armpits, at that. So KC and I made it through about two Gories songs before retreating to the courtyard. Never been a huge Gories fan, but "Nitroglycerin" is a pretty snappy number. Lucky for me, that was one of the first couple of songs in the set.
I wasn't sure what I was expecting from the Oblivians. After keeping their records in constant rotation for years, I hadn't really listened to them much lately. But, man, once they cranked up, my beer-clinched fist shot straight into the air – along with everyone else's (most of which also held new tiny video cameras). Oh, yeah. That's why I love the Oblivians. And they played my favorite song:

Dang.
