So I was waiting for this all week and when they finally played I was quite surprised by their song selection. If you've heard the new CD, Ire Works, then you've probably heard "Black Bubblegum". I think the song is pretty cool, not quite my favorite, but definitely an interesting one for them. So it was weird hearing them play it last night. I just thought it was an odd choice for a TV appearance (I would have figured they would play Milk Lizard or something). Another strange thing was that Jeff Tuttle was singing backup. I think it would be interesting if they started using that more when they play songs like "We Are The Storm", "Unretrofied", or even "When Good Dogs Do Bad Things". That be a peculiar element to add for them, seeing as how Greg's voice doesn't really translate to singing very well after screaming.

Just pondering........

I thought the performance was good and was worth running on little sleep for it today, but I think they would have done better with another song.They just seemed a little out of their element. I don't want to sound like a douche who thinks they should play the same thing though.

Nice to see them getting some more attention though.

RedLasso - Conan 2/6/2008- The Dillinger Escape Plan

Still one of my favorites.
