I'm so sad to have missed Malk on Saturday? What was off? Was it just that he was playing the worst venue in town, or was the music itself disappointing?
well...it was hard to get a good vantage point. then he played lots of new songs and obscurities. noodley guitar solos on almost every song. surprisingly little interaction with the crowd (he did insult rollins, mackaye and albini). you had to be an uber-fan to appreciate it, and i'm just not anymore....
