Last night in Southgate went quite well. So well in fact, that we managed to push one unit. All in all, both shows so far have been good preparation for our sets that will have to be shorter in length and also given us time to re-evaluate just exactly where certain songs should be in the set. We have a day off today which has so far consisted of (in no particular order and from no particular member of the tour): toast, homework, orange juice, the New York Times, a hammer and a flight case, the Motown Museum, this journal entry. I've said enough so I'll leave you with some kind words I stumbled upon from The Onion's A.V. Club Chicago (Chicago.Decider.com): The Wiitalas' new Bad Blood could be qualified as minimalist indie pop-rock, but it's something much more effective than that might suggest. The duo's stark guitars and lingering vocals tend to waft around, electrifying the air with their simplicity. [14:26]
