So we were having a pretty good night anyway. And then Jeff Lewis stepped up to the stage. An unassuming figure (a lot of us had seen him before, but didn't recognise him sitting down the front) he looks pretty nervy until he gets his stuff together. But when he gets it together, he's pretty damn amazing. Jeff starts up solo, with just a flip book of drawings to accompany him. His Bro' Jack joins him later on but the flip book videos he does - especially the classic 'Champion Jim' are unbelievably awesome. He stretched out into some new stuff, the highlight (among highlights) of which was a stunning song which involved meeting Will Oldham on the metro and harassing him and getting buttfucked by him when he gets pissed at you. I can't quite put into words how great that song was, except to say 'whooohweee'. Twice.

To my utter joy, we also got a hard kicking version of 'The Man With The Golden Arm' and a rather smart Part Two to 'The Last Time I Did Acid I Went Insane' which may have been called 'We Don't Want No LSD Tonight' or somesuch whimsy.
