twin cities gig of the year talk [mpr]
no real consensus, which is a bit surprising. a couple of arcade fire mentions, and somebody gushing about the polyphonic spree show at the fine line that, as you may remember, everyone pre-anointed best-show-of-the-year 20 minutes after it ended. also: they're all wrong. the correct answer is the bad plus @ the guthrie. i held my breath the entire time. fd: didn't go to 150 shows or anything, so my pool is most likely shallower than others. they're still wrong, though.
