I didn't get to listen to it, but Michael took some notes: "They started off playing songs on Beck's iPod, one band being the Electronicats a french band, obscure sound. They played Spank Rock, who open for beck tonight, they sounded cool, Pretty similar to some of Beck's beats. He then talked about his performance in SNL on Saturday, he'll be playing the single Nausea, and possibly think i'm in love.
