I Am Not A Reliable Narrator

Rilo Kiley

The Rilo Kiley show last night was really, really good. I was hoping for more songs from the first two albums, but seeing how they've changed pretty drastically since those first two albums I wasn't that suprised that there weren't loads. They did play Wires and Waves though and that's one of my favorites from their first album. I was also really happy that they plated Ripchord, and surprised by how much I enjoyed Does He Love You. I've always liked that song recorded, but live it takes on a whole new dimension. Both Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett have really wonderful voices live that are only just starting to be recorded properly. Jenny Lewis especially has such a lush voice that doesn't seem complete in recordings.

Unfortunately i committed the great faux pas of dissing their t shirts while Jenny Lewis was standing not 2 feet away from me and my big American voice. I felt like such a dick. But the t shirts were sort of lame.

Below is the set list. All of it is worth a download or listen.

'It's A Hit'
'Close Call'
'Portions For Foxes'
'Paint's Peeling'
'Breaking Up'
'Dreamworld'
'Wires And Waves'
'Ripchord'
'Under The Blacklight'
'Smoke Detector'
'Dejalo'
'15'
'Rise Up With Fists'
'Spectacular Views'
'Give A Little Love'
'Does He Love You'

    I have not heard the new album yet... but the reviews have not been so good. But yes, the first two are great!

    it's not bad, but it's not GREAT like the i felt the first two were. it's a lot more poppy and dancy and that definitely has it's place
