Lupton is kind of a mess live. I saw him and played a couple shows with him around 2009-2011 when I was in a DC band. He sort of just shambles through shows that seem like they're going nowhere, as if he's playing one boring song for the entire set. The records are pretty good though, and he's a really nice guy.

Listening to this makes me appreciate Lou Barlow. Mike Johnson is really overplaying it.
