So, I went to see Cowboy Mouth at the Paradise yesterday. Enjoyable, good music, very energetic - and too damn loud. Ten hours later my ears are still ringing off the hook.

Specifically, my bass sensitivity is about nil. I was listening to Have a Cigar in the car, and regardless of volume I could only hear the refrain. Very trippy. Also, conversation is difficult when everyone sounds like Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.

Well... they get the audience very involved, and it's a fun time, but the quality of their live music itself is, IMHO, not fantastic. Once in a while they'll get around to just rocking out, and that's quite good, but they spend so much time working on the audience that I did occasionally wish they'd just play more music.
