Well, at least they are bowing out before the quality level takes a big dip. I love this band, and I like baron, enjoy their more full tilt Neu/VU drives, but I've always enjoyed whatever they did. Live (I saw them four times) they were always amazing. Transcendent you might say.
He tries.

Re: Stereolab RIP
My point about the old stuff is that on the last tour it was all good, but that was what really stood out.
I like it all, myself. They were one of my -- probably -- five favorite bands for the last 15 or 20 years or whatever. I guess I was lucky to see them as many times as I did. They were always great.

Yeah, totally relentless live. They sort of took our friends' band (Dymaxion) under their wing and had them on the bill when they played here so I got to see three or four shows and crash the backstage parties.
Dymaxion never got paid much considering these were sold-out shows at Irving Plaza, but that was beyond Sterolab's purview.

While we're praising Stereolab, does anyone else have the DVD that came with Oscillons from the Anti-Sun? That has some great live stuff on it, as well as a few fantastic music videos...
