    Its easily the lowest point of a PJ gig I've been at. Thats the kind of show where the band should have maybe come out and done a couple of accoustic numbers. Sorry to bring up the memories :(

    Cripes! How bad was this guy?

    Apparently Ed's a big fan of Shudder to Think. I'm hoping they don't reunite and tour with PJ. I saw them open for Pavement once. They were probably the worst opening band I've ever seen -- no energy, seemed like everyone on stage was playing a different song, lots of dead air between songs...
