Red Mosquito

Infallible sure was lucky it caught up with the guy heading back to third base so it could make the clutch defensive play.

Infallible is clearly the third baseman.

it's a very sensible song.

Infallible is Mecca?

By either accident or design, they ditched the backing track for this one at the Auckland show - it's like night and day, a really noticeable improvement over every previous live attempt.

Geez. What backing track? I guess I haven't listened closely enough.

You know, the keyboard pad that fades in as Matt's counting the song off and that constant percussive melody throughout the verses. The Auckland version is, by contrast, totally live; Boom plays that little melody on keys instead (he may have been doing so already but it was somewhat buried by the loop before) and the guitars are much more to the fore.

I guess Ill have to listen with headphones closely. Heard a couple horrible live verrsions and gave up on that song.

I had too.

It should've sounded like the Auckland version on record.

eddy sure sounds like garbage during that "yay-ee-yeah" nonsense at the end. horrible on the record, 10x as bad live. sheesh.

I'll probably end up making some kind of 80-minute (or thereabouts) mix from the Australian/NZ shows at least.

I'd certainly be interested in a general Lightning Bolt live mix, like my Black Market Avocado compilation, but it would depend on whether really solid live versions of some of the songs emerge.

Keep me posted, please. I haven't really heard anything beyond my show and a few youtube clips, and your mixes are really good.

Way to raise a monarchist, stip.

We are going to make her learn the queen's English once she hits grade school

Really can't warm to this song at all and it's a set killer live but I never noticed any backing tape either
