I had fun at Pitchfork the one day I went last year, but nobody this year is nearly as good as Sleater-Kinney. My bigger conflict is Metal Threat Fest.

Thanks for reminding me, I picked up tickets for Saturday. Missed them on the Seer and To Be Kind tours, want to make sure I see this "version" of Swans before they're done.

Woah, just checked the setlist from their show that I went to a little over a year ago and it turns out they played like 4 songs from the new album according to that Amazon tracklist  That's counting Black Hole Man, which apparently got retitled for this album. Frankie M. A Little God In My Hands The Cloud of Unknowing Just a Little Boy (For Chester Burnett) The Cloud of Forgetting Bring the Sun / Black Hole Man

So, I have The Glowing Man (journalism has its perks) and it's loving magnificent. It sounds absolutely huge, Gira's studio genius really comes through, and When Will I Return is the most harrowing piece of music ever put to record.
