Cursive songs from 5/3/09 Black Cat, DC
May 6, 2009
I DIDN’T GO AS FAR AS ACTUALLY taking down the songs as they were played at Sunday night’s Cursive show. However, the next morning I was lucky enough to have work rained out, so I lulled myself to sleep by counting Cursive songs. See if I can remember:
They played…
from Burst and Bloom:
The Great Decay
from Domestica:
The Casualty
The Martyr (finished with this)
The Game of Who Needs Who the Worst
from The Ugly Organ:
The Ugly Organist
Some Red-Handed Sleight of Hand
Art is Hard
The Recluse
Butcher the Song (opened with this)
A Gentleman Caller
from Happy Hollow:
Big Bang
Dorothy at 40
Rise Up! Rise Up!
from Mama, I’m Swollen:
From the Hips
I Couldn’t Love You Anymore
Mama, I’m Satan
What Have I Done?
I remember in my snoozy-counting there being 18 songs (including The Ugly Organist), but apparently I’m missing one. Anyone?
[Update: From commenter Chelsea, the song I missed is "Mama, I'm Swollen." You know, the title of the new album? Easy one to forget. Check out her complete set-list below--thanks, Chelsea.]
