great show
I saw Camper van Beethoven and Cracker with Joey last night at the Belly Up. The crowd was an orderly and mild gang of aging hipsters. I speculated that many a middle-aged man unused to being out, drunk, on a monday, was going to get some tail from the drunk wife that night. I took some pics and video with the phone, but for some reason decided against bringing the teeny tiny 720p video camera I have to the show with me. I think it's because I'm a total genius.
The Belly Up is a pretty decent venue. Last time I went there I saw Physics with Pinback and someone nearly vomited on my shoe.
I love this song. They played it basically like the vid below.

She Divines Water
Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart
How can I believe that everything in this world is going to be fine?
How can I believe that everything in this world has it's place and time?
When I lay down to sleep, I feel the world spin
Slightly off axis, it's shaped like a fig
And when I lie next to you, I shiver and shake
You tell me you love me, I dream I'm awake
How can I believe that everything in this world is going to be fine?
And how can I believe that everything in this world has it's place and time?
'cause when I lay down to sleep, I have the same dream
Of a world-famous actress in a pink limousine
And she flies through the sky in that pink cadillac
While the boys of the press, we drink vodka in back
And she tells us our fortune by crumbling leaves
And she teaches us card tricks, the jack makes us weak
She divines water by dancing a jig for the boys of the press
She will whistle a pitch
After a good Camper set, they went offstage, changed sweaters, and came back on as Cracker.

Mister Wrong
Brand
Well, meet me by the river that goes nowhere.
Let me lay my sorry trip on you.
Won't you meet me by the river, little darling'?
I might just let you see my bad tattoo.
Well I was gonna bring you flowers, but I didn't.
It's the thought that counts and I think I'm a bit too broke.
But there's some change in my ashtray--maybe just enough to pay.
For a half pint of somethin', probably make us choke.
Well you know I'd rather not go and meet your family.
They'd probably send me back where I belong.
Don't want to hear about Mr. Right.
'Cause he's out of town tonight.
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong.
I drive a one-eyed Malibu without a muffler.
And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough.
And baby if you like to read, I've got some great pornography.
And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk.
Well you know I'd rather not go and meet your family.
They'd probably send me back where I belong.
Don't want to hear about Mr. Right.
'Cause he's out of town tonight.
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong.
Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you?
Would she like to meet my brother?
He'll be out of jail in a month or two.
Well you know I'd rather not go and meet your family.
They'd probably send me back where I belong.
Don't want to hear about Mr. Right.
'Cause he's out of town tonight.
Baby come and spend some time with Mr. Wrong.
Where I come from they call me Mr. Wrong.
