Ex-Seattle guy Sam Jayne is Love as Laughter—and having a rotating set of musicians playing your indie rock jams can be a risky endeavor. I’m proud to report, though, that last night’s Love as Laughter show was a total success, with Jayne backed by two Pretty Girls and going through a short catalog of old and new material that sounded like a scaled down, less pointy-headed Pavement in places. It absolutely melted my heart that he ended his set with my favorite LAL song, “Miss Direction.”
