Best live acts I've seen recently:
1. Man Man. Absolute chaos-- they hardly even paused between songs.
2. Antibalas. So many musicians. So much awesome.
3. Devendra Banhart. Made jokes about the indie-prep college kids; everybody still loved him.
4. Lily Allen. Sounds as good as the album, talks as straight as the interviews.
5. O' Death. This band literally started a riot.
6. Architecture in Helsinki. Another band with lots of musicians that was still able to keep a great stage presence.
Wouldn't go again if you paid me:
1. White Stripes. Seriously. They played for maybe 25 minutes.
2. Joanna Newsom. Her set was so long, so quiet, and so soothing that I actually fell asleep. Something might be a bit awry there.
