As I walked into the Cabaret du Musée on Monday, December 8 to see the Mercury Rev, I wondered to myself, "I wonder how they are going to pull off "The Dark is Rising?" This fan favourite track is representative of the band's sound: dramatic, over-the-top orchestration with dynamics that keep the listener at the song's mercy. I am pleased to report that the show did not fall short of the standard set by the band's recordings.

I’ve put off writing this review for what feel’s like centuries, during which time we’ve gotten a new magazine editor, I have my own show, CJLO is on 1690 AM and Barack Obama has been elected president, oh yeah and it’s snowing outside! 

Usually when you see a band perform it’s a thrilling experience, you sway or dance and if you’re really having fun you shed a few tears of happiness. Not in this case, the show was unwatchable and at times painful! The only thing crying in the venue were my ears and I’m pretty sure that’s anatomically incorrect.

"I love you!” “Oh my god he’s so hot” “Cope I want to have your babies!”
