Primavera Sound Artifacts

on the evening of the Portastatic show at Primavera Sound, Jim Wilbur and I also performed a rollicking version of Precision Auto with our Spanish pals Half Foot Outside. for some reason i have no photographic evidence of Jim being onstage -- is he a vampire? does he refuse to be photographed playing a cream-colored guitar? i can't answer those questions, but here's me hollering...i really had to concentrate harder on getting the words right without a guitar to play. also on my dance moves.

HERE you'll find some shaky live footage of the Portastatic set. when it looks like the stage is on fire towards the end of "I Wanna Know Girls" that's just the Smoke Machine Guy getting warmed up for his long evening. good times....
