Show Review: Dosh - 11/3/06

This was one of the most uninspiring shows I've ever seen. When I saw Weezer, I wanted to buy a guitar and play songs in my garage. When I saw The Strokes, I wanted to buy Cons and wear a leather jacket. When I saw The Arcade Fire, I wanted to join a band with all my friends and shout in unison. But when I saw Dosh this past Friday night at Alchemize, I didn't want to do anthing. Because with Weezer, Strokes, and Arcade Fire, I could do the things they did or at least attempt to. With Dosh, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Whatever it is that he does, it's completely spellbinding. As he built his songs, I kept trying to listen for previous loops I had watched him create but I couldn't do it. They were recursively swallowed up. It was a one-of-a-kind performance so I wouldn't really get my hopes up for many Dosh ripoff bands...

MP3 - The Lost Take (Live - 11/3/06)
And I can't tell what song this is. In fact, I couldn't recognize any of his songs. The only reason I know the first one was "The Lost Take" is because he announced it afterwards. So, here's another one. It's fun to watch but I have no idea which song it is.
