Okay, so Kung Fu Neck Tie has a $4 Citywide featuring 16 ounces of Pabst and a generous shot of Heaven Hill. I had a few, they were fine. Review over, right?

Eh, not really. So Mac DeMarco has been a long time coming to Philly and last night's show was pretty much perfect. He was growly and wonderful, equal parts crooner and cool rock and roll with just the right amount of stand-up calibre band banter. "Baby's Wearing Blue Jeans" plus "Rock and Roll Night Club," "Freaking Out the Neighborhood" rounded out with a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" transitioning to a sweet rendition of "Still Together" that lead to a few pretty hilarious KFN pickup attempts. Solid set and afterwards MDM asked the crowd for afterhours Philly suggestions (El Bar, obviously) earning him the title of the most party dude on Captured Tracks.
