Wolf Parade Tour – Rock My Heart

Bias is really a soft word for it. Suffice it to say, last year one of my friends fake signed my birthday card as Spencer Krug. No, I didn’t fall for it, but I still enjoyed it.

So I’m on pins and needles waiting to obtain the new album, coming out June 17th. In the meantime, I enjoy a bootleg of live performances pieced together from either one very inconsistent recording session or many sessions of varying degrees of good. The song tracks I have in no way match the track listings for the album on stereogum, but having seen Wolf Parade I will say that their live shows are excellent, more thrilling than listening to their album, though just as heart stopping. But, then again, I think Spencer Krug rocks out.

So I just have to get over my hatred of ticketmaster to get my tickets at The Fillmore but hopefully you will not have to suffer $10 service charges and can get your tickets tommorow!

Of the two tracks I picked, Things I Don’t Know most reminds me of my favorite song off the last album, I’ll Believe in Anything. It has the same urgency that compelled me to listen again and again and again…
