Live update...
The toss up between Islands and Subtle was decided for us by the high school kids queued up at 7 eager to file into the MidEast. I also came to the realization that the Islands album just isn't really anything special upon a last minute listen yesterday.
Our decision was confirmed by Jel himself, who went to see his anticon cohort Why? (opening for Islands next door) and was taken aback by the "150 high school kids lined around the corner". School vacation is a double edged sword indeed.
We, in the end, proved to be the lame ones, as we bounced early before Subtle even got on. Caught Jel, and most of Fog (who was entirely uninteresting). Jel was equipped with a laptop, his SP 1200 and a drum machine and played most of the tracks from "Soft Money" which suited me fine. Seeing his 40 minute set alone was worth it.
jel - nice last
jel - all around

Matt, when are you going to get blogging about the real bands like Fall Out Boy and Nick Lachey's new CD? (his single "What's left of me" is amazing by the way!!)
Keep your ear to the grindstone.
