Swedish songstress Anna Ternheim opened the night, borrowing a few members of Loney, Dear to provide the instrumentation behind her sweet pipes. The collaboration worked beautifully, as Ternheim's tunes align more closely with Loney, Dear's gentle style than the Asobi Seksu set that would follow.

Playing dilapidated instruments fitting of their ailing hometown of Detroit, the trio representing Tyvek treated The Middle East Upstairs to raw punk-rock stylings reminiscent of the genre’s early days.

I actually didn't listen to much music while on vacation last week. I thought it would be kinda rude to slink away and slap on the headphones, and also not so nice to foist my music on my less-than-appreciative family, so the eighteen hours spent in the car were spent listening to the audio version of Harry Potter's latest exploits.
