Thanks to Lullabyes.net who recorded sets at Hot Freaks! again this year.

As Lullabyes.net notes, the Kevin Barnes set was troubled from the start...lineup was running late, he was on a schedule, first a DJ set as List Cristee, then intended to be a Barnes solo-acoustic set...Barnes ended up borrowing an electric guitar from the White Rabbits, who were next up on the bill as busted out a great time.

Barnes played a new one-minute track (which Lullabyes.net labels Why Am I), covers of both M.I.A. and Grateful Dead. An Of Montreal song and a song he attributed to Bob Dylan.

Here are the covers, but make sure you visit Lullabyes.net for the whole set...
