ian williams is a master. i saw don cab and watching him play was the greatest experience of my whole life. he is my biggest inspiration.

[MervDesign1987]

Imagine getting to see Battles and then Aphex Twin straight after them — all on the same day!

[sonicyouth45]

@MervDesign1987 Yeah. That's it!

[lilcreature]

[hobbyordie]

Wait, this was before or after they played?

[Kelavmeister]

I would love to see one with Dave too, man... He's got a lotta awesome gear too.

[AstrayVision]

I remember standing in the first row of one of their recent concerts trying to figure out which sounds happen on which of his laptops. Now I know why I couldn't, he seems to route it around like crazy

20% handlebar mustache, 20% pink t-shirt, 20% aviator sunglasses, 20% sweaty armpits, 20% casual offhandedness = 100% of an nonsensical music-unrelated youtube comment.
