Not since the *amazing* Flaming Lips show has the Rietz Union Board brought us as good of a free concert as Minus the Bear who played last weekend in the Rion Ballroom to a very enthusiastic crowd of students and FESTers (www.thefestfl.com) Two days before the election, the set was not complete with out the very politically charged and well accepted im-the-lead-singer-of-a-band-lets-bash-the-government speech, it was also the drummer's birthday so celebrations all around. The music was very good and the acoustic version of Pachuca Sunrise gets me everytime xD. Later that week the O'Connell center filled up with countless scenesters and UF students alike to see Panic! at the DIcso, Dashboard Confessional, Plain white T's and the CAB. The Show was very flashy and had "commercials" between each set selling us the new Rockband video game and even bringing up students to play the videogame on stage. The Plain White T's  mollified the crowd with a heartfelt rendition of Delilah that had everyone waving their cellphones. P!ATD's set was peppered with songs from their good old fever you can sweat out which made me happy. They ended with a bang by getting everyone off their feet for the Isley Brothers' SHOUT! "a little bit louder now" was not a joke, I left the stadium wondering if id ever hear those frequencies stop buzzing in my ear.
