All my clothes are still totally wet. Tom, I agreed with you that things sorta haven't progressed much since last summer until I saw the show last night. Now maybe it was because I was right next to the monitors the whole night, but I felt like they kicked the shit out of those songs like I'd never heard since when I saw them at the Ottobar last May. And the sheer insanity of Travis on the trombone (finally!) for "One Too Many Blows to the Head" followed by Joke's Over. Man!

The Ottobar show last May was easily the best show I've ever seen them play and one of the best shows I've ever seen anyone play. And yeah, I haven't seen them bust out the trombone since the first time I'd seen them, at an American Legion Hall in Baltimore when I was 15 and they didn't have an album out yet. (I'd kinda thought maybe I'd just misremembered the stuff about the trombone.)

Did anyone else do a remix? I did. It's on the remixes page linked from the main DPlan page, under the name Unpopular Science. They didn't pick it for their album. That's the real reason for the decline in my Dplan fandom.

Selfish.

It's as valid a reason as any.

oh man, but were you guys at the 2 Black Cat shows in December? the 2nd one was insane...if not the best, then easily in my top 3 Plan shows (the other 2 probably being other Black Cat shows from 2 or 3 years back, and maybe that Ottobar show).

I was at the second Black Cat show; you sure we're thinking of the same show? Cuz I spent most of it wishing the liquid-dancing audience chumps would get off the stage. After "The Ice of Boston," you leave the goddam stage! It's an unspoken rule! Also, it kinda sucked that Radio 4 cancelled. Totally didn't even come close to that Ottobar show, as far as I'm concerned.

I started to do a "The Jitters" remix. But I got totally stumped on what to do during the chorus so I scrapped it.

haha, a friend of mine was totally dry humping some random girl by the PA on the right of the stage for most of the set after "Ice Of Boston". still, the show was fun, by the end of the night the band was really loose and enjoying themselves. probably not as good as the shows a couple Decembers before that, though.

fourteen years pass...

I wasn't crazy about Uncanney Valley but I've been listening to E&I and Change a lot the last few days and the truth is I miss these guys.

E&I and Change are downright classics. I remember their social media fb page was very active around the time Uncanney Valley came out, but having just checked it now they haven't posted since 2015. I wonder if they feel embarrassed about the reunion looking back. They rode the wholesome nostalgia wave so hard and then dropped a massive brick
