A nice review of Sunday's live McLovins set

As I start to recover from pneumonia, it's a pleasure to read the write-up of the festivities from the McLovins' fanblog, Dave Smith's One and One and One Make Three.

I had no idea how sick I was during this broadcast, and I sure hope I didn't infect anybody.

Here's the audio from the show. How hard did they play? Jason "Basslovin" said it best: You know you played hard when you have blisters on fingers you didn't use.
