Oh man, thank you so much, Jules!!!! I msg'd Laurie Brown of The Signal and she said they're not going to do a podcast of the show. (WTF?? I don't get it, I'm sure it had said somewhere on the site that they were...) It WILL be on Concerts On Demand www.cbc.ca/radio2/cod/ eventually. Apparently. Hopefully. *xfingers* |

He's back to a pretty tight sound, if a little bored sounding while singing some of the better known/commonly played stuff. Is this wholly solo?
EDIT:
Okay. Here's a faintly bitchy, caviling question. It's been about a year since I've been to a show. I'm pretty fond of downloading/listening to these live sets, though, and I was wondering, for those of us who have heard a few, are you getting bored with these same arrangements, great arrangements though they may be? This post initially read with a request for a rip of this show, but, honestly, I can't justify having this and the FM4 show and the Webster Hall show and the etc. etc. when they're not that different. I think I liked the Thomas year so much because it seemed so revelatory to have new sounds ("My God! Are those... DRUMS?!") and a slightly dueling musical personality, and I'm sure whatever comes next will seem cool, too, but, tell me, am I just being picky here?

Nope, I feel the same way.* I listen to these live shows exclusively for new songs & covers and banter. It's also why I've only been to see Owen a couple of times live, and one of the reasons I am so excited for Les Mouches (the other being, um, Les Mouches!)
*I also think this "give me new and different things!" is a really great attitude to have about everything in life. Growth! Change! The Future! Hooray!

I listen for the banter too XD
And the covers.
I don't think you're being picky.

I download everything Alpentine has to offer-- my computer hates me for it.  But yeah, it's mostly just for the banter, the covers, and the few, slight & subtle changes that he makes. I think Les Mouches will be just fantastic and totally, totally new (drums! low guitar!) Owen Pallet et Les Mouches played a show the other night, didn't they? (Owen Pallett's twitter read "But wait till you hear the new band #TonightsTheNight") Did anybody here go to see it? I want to know-- is Owen still looping? How does everything sound with a rock band backing? And did anybody record it? |

Definitely agree that I am hella excited to hear what Owen Pallett et Les Mouches have in store for us, arrangement-wise.
I still obsessively collect the live recordings, however. Even if the arrangements have been samey for a while, part of what really drew me to Owen back in the day was that his live stuff sounded completely (and necessarily) different from the studio. When I heard the songs on Has a Good Home and He Poos Clouds live, it was like hearing them for the first time. And what was especially fun was hearing how the at-the-time unreleased material would mutate from live show to live show as Owen kept refining and rewriting.
So I don't think you're being picky at all. His constantly evolving live show is part of what makes Owen Owen, in my estimation.
(and I can hook you up with a rip if'n you still want it)

I'm with you, I love the small differences. I love hearing the evolution of CN Tower over the last couple years, percussive vs. non-percussive Keep the Dog Quiet, how well he pulls off HPC, etc. I admit that I usually tune out Midnight Directives and The Great Elsewhere, which seem to get played the most and change the least.

I was just yesterday listening to a version of CN Tower from 2005, and thinking how much it's improved over the last 5 years. Really, how much HE has improved in general. It's such a huge contrast from then to now. |

I understand what you mean, but that's probably why he's getting back with Les Mouches (obvious statement?); I don't want to compare him to Andrew Bird, but I think it would be interesting if he played with the arrangement of his songs the way Andrew does live, now that he has the band with him. I think some of these live sessions should be left to just being seen in the moment - at this Vancouver show I more or less sat there mesmerized, but upon relistening to the set on my computer at home I did find it a little dull, but I think he was quite nervous and tired at that show and it wasn't one of his best. He said he was nervous, anyway. But when you're actually experiencing it it's a lot different, and all these recordings are going to sound as repetitive as any other band's live recordings, you know what I mean? |

True Say!
All of this is not to be critical of Owen in any way. He totally warned us that recordings of live shows suck the magic.
