Bummed I didn't make it to Stubb's in time to see the Strange Boys on Saturday night. I heard they were good. On the other hand: Atlas Sound...Awful. Terrible. Horrible. Embarrassingly bad. He ruined Cortez the Killer for me forever. I was kind of looking forward to seeing him, since I enjoyed him when I saw him (with a backing band) at SXSW a couple of years ago, but it was bad bad bad. Fortunately Spoon saved the night (although Britt apologized for Cox's performance).
