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.

Earplugs are handy for live music, which is almost always way too loud. They're not just for sleeping at camping events.

I use them in movie theaters, which seem to operate under the assumption that we're all hearing-impaired.

I think I will get some for the next time - I like being able to hear.

(And if they hadn't mic'd the drums...)
