  Black Moth Super Rainbow, School of Seven Bells, Darktown StruttersHailey's Club, DentonJune 3, 2009Better Than: Sulking at home last night while poking around on Craigslist and eBay for those Animal Collective tickets you should've bought months ago... Paul HeartfieldSchool of Seven BellsTurns out there weren't any "Quadrophenia-esque rumbles" in Hailey's parking lot after Black Moth Super Rainbow and School of Seven Bells wrapped up their sets last night.

• ACL '09: School of Seven Bells Starts Day One Off On A High Note--And Offers Us Some Details On its Next Release.

  Sorry if this post comes off as a little, I dunno, off. As I write this in the ACL press tent, Daniel Johnston's giving an on-air interview to my right, School of Seven Bells is giving a web chat interview to my left, and Jonathan Tyler and The Northern Lights are talking up a print reporter behind me. Meanwhile, Dr. Dog's rocking out a set no more than 200 yards away--and playing "Hang On," no less.  It's all a little distracting. But even in here, things are
