Here's a gallery of the
Merge 25 Saturday outdoor shows. Just a few little bands: Vertical Scratchers, The Love Language, Ex Hex, Mikal Cronin, Bob Mould, Teenage Fanclub, Caribou, and Neutral Milk Hotel.
The sun shone brightly...
Laura Ballance (Superchnk, Merge co-founder) handed out earplugs...
Margaret Cho MC'd...
And Vertical Scrathers kicked off the day.
You could tell it was gonna be a sweaty one.
The Love Language followed...
Ms. Cho handed out party favors (set lists)...
... while inside, mad scientists worked (Wesley Wolfe making records)...
... and we all took refuge from the heat.
Back outside, Ex Hex cranked up the rawk...
... and Mikal Cronin prepared to roll.

More heat refugees.
Then Bob Mould showed the kids how to really rock...
Drummer Jon Wurster (Bob Mould band, Superchunk, The Mountain Goats) was really having fun...
... as was Margaret Cho, who sang "See a Little Light" with Mould!
All the musicians jockeyed for position backstage to watch Teenage Fanclub's set.
And Caribou (almost) closed out the night as the sun hung low.
The crowd and Ms. Cho enjoting Caribou...
Then, as the sun set, and the cameras were put away, Neutral Milk Hotel took the stage (and I snuck out my brand new Deluxe MS Paint 8-Bit camera)...
I couldn't help it.
