I Can’t Dance

oh man i love that song.

[canexplain]

oh man i love that song.

yea the did the preresiquite sp slow walk like cavemen or something going from one end to the other acting goofy, great stage too ... pretty impressive, and i liked the old stuff better, but they played a lot of hits .... canx**

[J~$$$]

I hate that song so much. It made me hate phil collins. I like most of his stuff too. Its like the beach boys when they came out with kokomo and were performing it on full house every other week. It was the last straw.

Oh this made me smile though....

The Radiohead fan calling the Shins live show boring?...

Right... Check please.

[summerkid]

The Radiohead fan calling the Shins live show boring?...

Right... Check please.

I've seen the Shins live and they are boring. James Mercer doesn't have much charisma and even seems kind of awkward on stage not too mention that he doesn't really sing loud enough to be heard over the music half the time. People were yelling at him to sing louder/turn the mike up.

Never seen Radiohead, but I don't see how anyone can say this looks boring.

JHBaUTxeLjk

[suprefan]

Alright, the performance with me in the crowd shots, yay...........

[arbouler]

ive never seen radiohead live, nor am i a big fan. but im pretty sure i'd sing my heart out to some of their singles at the concert. i mean, they do have some pretty good tunes.

i just wouldnt pay to see radiohead. i'd go for free though.

[suprefan]

Justice time, later

[bmack86]

Alright, the performance with me in the crowd shots, yay...........

I'm pretty sure I saw myself in there as well.

[bmack86]

o, and i'm leaving for Justice in a few.

I would pay 100 dollars to see Radiohead.

[AEversW]

I would pay 100 dollars to see Radiohead.

i paid 300 dollars.

[bballarl]

Justice was good tonight. The crowd was very LA. Second GA show in a row where, for whatever reason, I was in the one spot that people had to enter/exit from. And there was some chick taking pictures for about 15 minutes directly behind me. But the flash was kind of like a strobe light I guess? Fun show, nice grooves.

[suprefan]

I would pay 100 dollars to see Radiohead.

Cheapskate






Justice, what can I say that hasnt been said?

[bmack86]

Definitely fun, with an undeniably shitty crowd.

[suprefan]

Very true Brian, very true. I knew it wasnt goign to be crazy, just some wahoos tryign to be crazy but not insane. The Ed Banger party last night was probably a million times more insane than this crowd was. I wonder if tomorrow night is a whole different ballgame.

[BlueDevil50]

were there any "surprise" guests? or just justice and mj

[suprefan]

Mehdi spun in between MJ and Justice, then he spun for another hour after Justice finished.

[ThomThom]

The Radiohead fan calling the Shins live show boring?...

Right... Check please.

The Maroon 5 fan calling The Shins show a whole lot of fun...Riiiiiiight

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Alright, the performance with me in the crowd shots, yay...........

Me too!

[PassiveTheory]

The Maroon 5 fan calling The Shins show a whole lot of fun...Riiiiiiight

Because it was, that's just a fact. Hell, both times I've seen the Shins live I was absolutely entertained. Don't know why the hell you can't appreciate them live, but seriously, someone who intentionally go see a band to fucking sleep doesn't deserve the fucking right to voice his opinion.

I'd even go see Radiohead... If it meant I'd get to see a far more superb live show after them (i.e. MBV, Portishead, The Pixies, Muse, Daft Punk, etc. I think you get the picture).

Music festivals can be very draining, when you need a nap you need a nap...The Shins provide just that, great sleep aid.

[ewiggy]

napping at festivals? who are you people, anyway?

[amyzzz]

I had to nap last year because of the camping problem.

[tubescape]

a little late... but I went to the Shins show at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Saturday night and never stood up from my seat once. The only thing that got me excited was their cover of Pink Floyd's "Breathe." Other than that, it was a pretty boring show. They played well, sounded good, but never really engaged the crowd. and WAY TOO MANY cell phones.

[ewiggy]

why does amy keep responding to my posts? can i address her directly? is this armageddon?

[amyzzz]

I'm not ignoring you, idiot.

[Boourns]

The Shins don't need to put on a great show, because they'll always be supported by thousands of girls who want to see "that garden state band"

[ewiggy]

http://pics.bikerag.com/Uploads/data/500/258Troll_spray.jpg

don't call me an idiot. it's rude.

[amyzzz]

I'll respond to your posts if I want to. My god. Just contributing to the general conversation here.

[downingthief]

I'm going to see them tonight for the first time. The whole Garden State thing...just don't know what to think. I mean, the songs they had on the soundtrack were really good songs, in my opinion. But, they have much more to offer than just those two. I am looking forward to seeing them. And, I'm going for free, so that is always a plus.

i napped during wolfmother in 06...i wasn't even tired.

[bballarl]

I love how I didn't know about this yet.

Jill Scott:

Tue 10/16/07 West Hollywood, CA House Of Blues

Wed 10/17/07 West Hollywood, CA House Of Blues

Thu 10/18/07 West Hollywood, CA House Of Blues

And the 20th as well.

Now to see how expensive it is.

Okay, $45 before service charges is not cool.

[PassiveTheory]

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT, WHAT AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT.

Thank you, sincerely. I needed that.

[sonofhal]

The two Shins gigs i saw this year were both pretty good. Lots of banter with the audience and a really strong sound.

Anyhow.....

We Start Fires tomorrow night followed by Battles on Thursday night for me.

[AEversW]

The Shins were on Leno last night...i was trying to say up to watch Conan but failed. I almost made it.

[suprefan]

Go to HOB and buy the ticket. It should be like a $2 service fee from them, that is if you go.

[Boourns]

Shit. I forgot about tickets for Feist & Spoon @ Universal (still refuse to call it Gibson). Not sold out, but I'll wait and see if I can score pit tix for face value like I did for Beck in 2005, which was actually sold out.

[amyzzz]

11/3 - rodrigo y gabriela @ fonda
They didn't cancel that one?

[suprefan]

They cancelled their Anaheim show.

[amyzzz]

They need to come back here, damnit.

[rage patton]

So my show list currently is

Oct 13 - Justice @ Commodore Ballroom
Oct 20 - Ozzy/Rob Zombie @ GM Place
Oct 27,28 - Vegoose
Oct 31 - Rodrigo y Gabriela @ Paramount Theatre
Nov 6 - Dropkick Murphys @ Commodore Ballroom.

I should be seeing the Cure tonight. And that makes me sad that I am not. Dammit. I really wish they hadnt of cancelled their tour.
As for my upcoming shows, I am excited for Rodrigo y Gabriela on halloween. That should be fun.

[suprefan]

You better dress up.

[xxxxxxxxxx]

I bought tickets to see Spiritualized at Bimbos in San Francisco November 11th. Awesome.

Nov. 9 Ween Santa Cruz
Nov. 10 Ween SF
Nov. 11 Spiritualized

BEST WEEKEND EVER.

[bmack86]

when was that announced?

[suprefan]

The Spritualized shows? I think a couple of days ago, somebody made a thread if I remember right.

[bmack86]

November 12th and 13th. Vista Theatre. Spiritualized. I'm going both nights, as long as tickets aren't insanely expensive. No Bjork for me, that means.

[bmack86]

So the Vista fits 638 people. This show is going to rule so hard.

[suprefan]

Wow, crazy.


Off To Justice, see ya.

[Somewhat Damaged]

They didn't cancel that one?

Yeah, no kidding. I hate it when bands cancel shows in Arizona citing "exhaustion" then play in California a short time later. At least fucking make a half-assed attempt at rescheduling a later show, especially if you cancel TWO shows in the state. I'm really glad I didn't bother with getting their CD 'cause shit like this shows how little they respect some of their fans, potential and otherwise.

[bmack86]

Here's the updated list then

10/10 Mt Eerie-Troubadour (Maybe)
10/13 Fujiya and Miyagi-Echoplex (unlikely)
10/15 PJ Harvey-Orpheum
10/16 Ghostface Killah-UCLA
10/19 Black Lips-Troubadour (Maybe)
10/23 Man Man-Troubadour
10/25 Pipettes-Echoplex (maybe)
10/26 Caribou-Troubadour (Maybe)
10/30 Battles-Henry Fonda
10/31 Danzig-Greek
11/1 ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead/Dethklok-UCLA
11/3 Yo La Tengo-Ivar Theater (Maybe)
11/6 Parts and Labor-Spaceland
11/8 Ween-Wiltern (Maybe)
11/9 Joanna Newsom-Disney Concert Hall
11/12 Spiritualized-Vista Theater
11/13 Spiritualized-Vista Theater
11/15 Calvin Johnson-The Smell (Maybe)

[rage patton]

You better dress up.

I was thinking about it. I have this huge Mexican Sumbraro I was thinking of wearing... but i figured they might find that offensive. I dont think I will though. I would rather dress practicaly at a concert.

And wow... some of you go to so fuckin many concerts its rediculous. I am jelous.

[gaypalmsprings]

wear this...

[Boourns]

The Vista? Isn't that a movie theater? Where all the geeks camped out for Lord of the Rings?

[bmack86]

yup.

[rage patton]

wear this...

http://www.torontohispano.com/entretenimiento/cine/hotdocs2005/wetback04.jpg

Hahaha... even better idea!

[miscorrections]

i'm so bummed i have to miss spiritualized; school is the lamest.

[Boourns]

yup.

I hear it's a really sweet theater...really want to check it out sometime.

[rage patton]

I saw on of Andrew W.K.s spoken words lectures in a movie theatre.

He started a rock and roll train around the theatre. Then it crashed. He also broke a table and one of the chairs.

It was the most itense spoken word I have ever been too. I talked to him after as well. Great guy. Really intelligent and well spoken too.

[saxomophone]

11/1 ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead/Dethklok-UCLA

Eeee!!!

Is this just for ucla students?

[Boourns]

It depends on where at UCLA. If it's in the big auditorium upstairs (already forgot the name), then you need an ID to get in, but if it's one of the noon shows outside or an evening show at the Cooperage, anyone can just walk up.

[bmack86]

Just for students, this one is.

[bballarl]

[bmack86]

I'm going to whichever includes the brief acoustic show as well.

[Boourns]

Oh trust me, when I finished getting what I wanted. I went off, also I rocked out a lot after the show during DJ Mehdi.


And did you not see me like do the guitar fingers and headbang til my head fell off during the encore?


Also, last night I went crazy, this was in part to having a security gaurd on front of me for the last like 40 minutes of their set, so no photos or whatever. I didnt care cause I had gotten what I wanted at that point, so again I went crazy.


And I had more energy afterwards. Ask Steve, he thought I was like on x or soemthign the way I was jumping and running around.

Yep. I NEED to get tickets somehow. I would imagine this would go through El Capitan's website. I wish we had some idea when they will be on sale.

[tessalasset]

just keep refreshing their website all day long for the next few weeks.

You and deviate are no longer allowed to talk to each other.

[oooduga]

Wasn't this movie supposed to come out a hundred years ago? What the hell happened?

Yea it was supposed to come out the end of 06 but Richard Kelly was having problems editing it down from 3+ hours plus there are a lot of other aespects(graphic novels, websites) that prob slowed it down.

I am hoping there will be some sort of Q&A at the screening

[mistdevil]

Whats the rumor on ticket prices for the tool show? I know this guy that is in my industry and he is really sleazy he says he can get free tickets to tool shows all the time, because he is sleeping with Maynards publicist or sister or some shit that lives out here in Denver. I call BS but I may hit him up.

Amoeba is just open for business as usual. There are no ''doors'' they dont shut down the store for this. Unless your name is Paul McCartney. Shows start at the time posted, give or take a few minutes. They should get like a 30 minute set. I miss the days when everyone woudl get like 45 - 50 minutes.



chris was like a energizer bunny. =)

I think the funniest comment I heard last night was my friend Daniel calling me the Ultimate, then I ran back in the venue to hear more Mehdi.

[ewiggy]

i'm starting to think that you are not intentionally always talking to people like they are idiots - it's just that you never understand what is being said.

obviously i wasn't asking what time amoeba opened. christ.

[mistdevil]

Mehdi looked like he was having so much fun.. it made the crowd more enjoyable

I saw them do this at Primavera, at the expense of missing Band Of Horses (yes - i was THAT excited). Expect a mix from the whole Jason back cat - including some Spacemen 3 action.

[bmack86]

Yeah, i have recordings of the November 24th and 25th shows in 2006. They're damn good.

[bballarl]

I think I will be attending the Monday Spiritualized show.

obviously i wasn't asking what time amoeba opened. christ.to his defense, i do understand how he could think that. i kinda read your question like that too - asking when door time was, when there is none. there's just a start time. but yeah for future reference, whatever time they say on the website is the show time. it's almost always 6 or 7. they played for about 40 minutes today. it was a good, solid set. off the new cd they played:
is there a ghost
ode to lrc
no one's gonna love you
lamb on the lam <3
marry song
wicked gil (an awesome slowed down version)
the funeral
the great salt lake
maybe some others too

they sounded great except there was too much bass. ben is very very nice. almost too nice. like creepy nice. i got them all to sign their new album for me. the booklet is just a bunch of photographs of places in north carolina and in san diego. so i had each of them sign a different picture. they thought it was a cool idea. :)

then i saw jose gonzalez at el rey. his show was pretty much EXACTLY like his last show at the el rey a year and a half ago, but that;s a good thing. he's excellent-sounding live. i havent listened to his new album so there were a lot of songs i didnt know this time around, but i still liked almost everything i heard. the venue was packed and the crowd was great and lapping it up. kinda bummed i have to miss his fonda show next month but oh well. twice in a year isn't too shabby.

[rage patton]

WTFish? Tool coming through Denver again?

November 21
Tool

More Info On Sale Saturday @ 10am
Buy Tickets

Dammit. Why cant Tool just announce they are playing Vancouver? Then I can whine and bitch about how I dont enough money to go to the show. Then I will actually be able get upset that I wont be able to see Tool, instead of debate on whether or not I will be able to get upset about not being able to see Tool.

But in the end I will buy tickets anyways.

[bmack86]

So, Jose Gonzalez was really good. I've never really heard his stuff before, but it was enjoyable. Good acoustic shit.

[suprefan]

That wouldve been awesome to go to. Did he do hearbeats? All I can picture is millions of super balls bouncing through SF whenever I hear that song.

[arbouler]

anybody got setlist from the jose gonzalez gig?
hes not really interactive. i dont even know what kind of blurb to report from the show except the douche next to me who told me to stop taking pics cuz it bothered his concentration listening to the songs. what a cunt.

[tessalasset]

lickey he just didnt know how good your pics are.

yes he did heartbeats. that's his mmmbop.

[sonofhal]

I just won a pair of tickets to see Bloc Party, Does It Offend You, Yeah? and Operator Please. It's at the 200 capacity Camden Barfly on Sunday. Yay!

[summerkid]

I lost interest in Bloc Party after I saw them live.

[sonofhal]

I'm more excited about the support, but seeing Bloc Party somewhere that small will be good fun. I was at the Barfly last night to see We Start Fires (very Elastica-esque) and we were talking about the gig on sunday. Forgot i'd even entered the competition. Bloc Party have been good the other times i've seen them (Pre 2nd album)

[shakermaker113]

I lost interest in Bloc Party after I saw them live.

ha! I liked them live, and lost interest when they released their first album.

actually not when they released it, but very soon after.

[shakermaker113]

That wouldve been awesome to go to. Did he do hearbeats? All I can picture is millions of super balls bouncing through SF whenever I hear that song.

I didn't realize at first that song was a cover. it wasn't until I was independently (and unaware) listening to the original version by Knife and I was trying to figure out where I knew it from, and it hit me. I was in shock for a moment.

New Project:
As I have so many shows coming up, my roommate has talked me into starting a blog to write about the shows I go to. He's got this idea that, If I were to get enough hits, I may be able to eventually get someone to sponsor this project we've been talking about; Having a site send me to a concert a night for one month straight, with me writing about the whole experience. Seems intriguing to me.

[ewiggy]

i had so much fun in the side balcony last night! amazing show!

i thought the music was decent, but you could even tell Zach was a little annoyed with the crowd (all the people randomly going WOO! back and forth at each other? not cool).

it was pretty funny when he was like "ok, uh.. we're gonna play that one song. and i think they played Elephant Gun.

also at the merch table they sold a poster to a guy who had lebanese money, but they wouldnt sell me a CD ($7 usd) for 10 euro. thats like $14! racists.

Ouch, that bad? Avalon is pretty good now, even though it is Live Nation run. I guess it was a ratio of 1 person who was ''cool'' to 300 hipsters right?

yes. akmal and i were the cool people and everyone else sucked. actually, akmal could've been the one WOO!ing. i'll look into it. he's been known to go crazy at shows.

I may be able to eventually get someone to sponsor this project we've been talking about; Having a site send me to a concert a night for one month straight, with me writing about the whole experience. Seems intriguing to me.

way to not pay for shows, dude. i support this. but not financially.

[suprefan]

akmal probably was woo ing also. Looks like you mightve been the only cool person there. Ok, so as a venue itself minus the people what did you think? How was the sound considering its a decent size theater? It used to be called the Palace Theater until the name change a few years ago.

[ewiggy]

the place is beautiful, the sound was excellent, and it is set up really nicely so it seems you pretty much have a decent view from wherever you are.

i walked in halfway through the second song of the set and was able to walk halfway up to the front and have a perfectly clear view of the stage.

i didn't really realize it was so close to the Fonda - i ended up paying.. i am not even going to say how much because it is embarassing.. but i paid A LOT to park, when i could've parked on the street by the Fonda and just walked 2 blocks. grr.

[suprefan]

You paid $20 to park right next to it. There is street parking if you look for it like you said, but there is a lot a block down that is $6 to park if all else failed. I was there the other week and I was waiting for a friend to get there and I saw all these kids just going into that lot and forking over the cash. At one point these girls asked 'how much?'' the guy with the flag told them to get in cause they were blocking traffic, which they were not. It used to feel a lot bigger, where the soundboard is on the floor now, it was never there before the name change so it was way more open and felt more spacious.

[ewiggy]

yeah i was really late and didn't know where i was.

[suprefan]

Right, its understandable, what do you do when you are late and dont know where to park ya know? Interpol in a week, yay.

[arbouler]

[shakermaker113]

woo~!

cx0dFJgMnCw

[ewiggy]

akmal you didn't hear the people WOOing back and forth at each other?

like one person on one side of the venue would go WOO! during a quiet part of the song.. then someone on the other side would go WOO! back.

so disrespectful.

also i love the people that talk about how much they love the band through the band's entire set.

[suprefan]

You are going to hate it at the Hollywood Bowl whenever you finally go there next year. Unless its Radiohead, you will depise everyone around you talking throughout anyones set. And drunk of course.

[ewiggy]

why is it going to be next year?

[suprefan]

You going to the hollywood Bowl? Well, the season is over, theres no more shows there, and odds are there will be somethign on the schedule that you will like. We did get the Decembeists with the L.A. Philharominic, Arcade Fire did play there last month. Radiohead will play there for sure, you'll end up going I am sure.

[ewiggy]

you buyin' me a ticket, hot shot? that shit is going to be like three billion dollars.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Oh yeah, I saw Rilo Kiley on Tuesday night. Got to the show at 7:30 because I'm stupid and think everybody else who attends concerts tries to get there before the first band is due to start (in this instance, at 8:00) just like me. So I was bored for the first half hour I was there and had forgotten to pull out some cash. There was no re-entry nor an ATM, and the concession stand didn't take credit cards, so all I had to buy a beer with was $3. My options: Nimbus or Red Stripe. Being that I was dissatisfied with the Nimbus I had purchased a couple weeks earlier, I went with the Red Stripe. When the cashier rang it up, though, he said it was $4. I was like, "It says $3 right there." So he looked and observed that on the sign, it was indeed listed as $3, but before he could say anything, this stupid fucking cunt at the next register had to chime in with, "It's $4." She then cited the "menu" on her side of the counter as indicating that the beer I ordered was $4. Thing was, there was no listing of Red Stripe on her menu, though she was insistent that I had to pay $4. The cashier I had was cool, though, and sold it to me for $3. I don't know what that bitch's problem was but I had a mind to chuck my Red Stripe at her head and give her a viable reason to be in such a rotten mood.

Anyway, shortly thereafter Grand Ole Party started. They're a three-piece, with a female drummer who also doubles as their vocalist. They sounded good, if reminiscent of lots of other bands (Franz Ferdinand was the first to come to mind). The singer/drummer's voice was nice and raspy but it also reminded me of someone else I couldn't quite put my finger on. (Maybe Ani DiFranco? I dunno, I don't listen to a lot of lesbian music.)
Next up was the Bird and the Bee, whom apparently a lot of people I know are aware of and buzzing about, but it wasn't till I heard about them opening for Rilo Kiley that I knew anything about them. I ran into the owner and manager of Plush as I was waiting for them to start and they both exclaimed about how great the Bird and the Bee were at South by Southwest. The owner offered to buy me a beer, so I got another Red Stripe, and a few minutes after she returned with it, their set started. The singer commands the stage really well and has an interesting voice. It was just her and her cousin up there -- he played guitar and something else that I'd know the name of if I was a musician -- and the song that caught me the most had the lyrics "I try, I try, I try, I try / I'm a broken heart, I'm a broken heart." (While her lyrics weren't terrific, the way she sang them was a saving grace. She deployed bubbles from a bubble machine during this song.)
Finally, after an interminably long set-up after B&B, Rilo Kiley came out. Jenny Lewis was wearing a loose-fitting sparkling blouse that didn't really serve justice to her wonderful bust. I don't know if it was the make-up or lighting but she looked really old, like she was Neko Case's age. (No offense to Ms. Case, just illustrating how much older Jenny looked.) And when she moved around the stage, it was plainly evident that she has no ass. Well, it's there, but there's just no curvaceousness to it. There's a flat piece of flesh connecting her back to her legs and I was disappointed to discover that.
But those observations were made within the first song the band performed. After that, their playing was superb and the crowd was putty in their hands and I was enjoying the music too much to think about too much more than how glad I was that I didn't leave after the bar incident. I only have Under the Blacklight so I wasn't familiar with the songs they played off their previous releases, but they were all enjoyable and made me eager to seek out those other CDs. I think "Dreamworld" is their best song, and one of the best released this year, and their little jam session (of sorts) at the end of it just took it up another notch. "The Moneymaker" and "Breakin' Up" were also terrific, but "Silver Lining" was the one that really took my breath away, the combination of lyrics and the way Jenny Lewis emotes while singing them. They played for a solid hour and a half (maybe 80 minutes all told) and I can see them being ready for the main stage next year.

Thanks, and if you think that was a lot of typing for a post on this message board, then imagine how long it must've seemed to captncrzy when I sent her a text message detailing the incident afterwards! It wasn't the dollar that bothered me but the ineptitude on their parts -- how difficult is it to put the correct price next to an item you're selling? -- and the attitude I received when I called them on their error. And if there had been more going on at the time to draw my attention, it wouldn't have made such an indelible mark on my memory.

Mars Volta? or Justice?







Thanks for that one.



The Mars Volta will bring in 2008 with a special New Years Eve performance at San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Una notte di amici e le sorprese ha presentato in un modo sorprendente. Costumes are required.

[PotVsKtl]

Are the Fiery Furnaces boring live? I'm thinking boring.

[dorkfish]

so how was Frank Black at Cafe Du Nord? Valarie relayed a poor review from you.

[PotVsKtl]

It was lame, he played every song from his new album, which I haven't heard and judging from the crowd was not alone. Then he played like 3 or 4 from mid-solo career Catholics albums I think. Like Dog In the Sand. You know, the shit nobody cares about. I left before he even broke for an encore.

[PotVsKtl]

It was interesting though, he was chatty as a motherfuck. Like, people were yelling at him to play music and shut up - which is the exact opposite of Pixies gigs.

[PotVsKtl]

Anyway I guess I'm going to Fiery Furnaces then I'll get all bored and throw a beer at the stage.

[mountmccabe]

Anyway I guess I'm going to Fiery Furnaces then I'll get all bored and throw a beer at the stage.

the Fiery Furnaces are not boring. Well maybe. You know that at Coachella a couple years ago they played one long continuous set blending songs and being crazy nuts? Everything was transformed, the melodies and such were all shifted and abnormal. Also they had a kickass drummer.

My friends saw them not long after but with a different drummer and reported that it wasn't near as awesome.

Don't you love Widow City? Am I thinking of another person who loves Widow City? That may be the case.

Also beers are for drinking, silly.

[wmgaretjax]

Are the Fiery Furnaces boring live? I'm thinking boring.

na, they are fun live. they go apeshit crazy. I'm bummed I can't see them when they play here tomorrow, but I have shit to do.

Yeah Widow City is pretty damn good. I like them, I just have a problem with live prog.

[suprefan]

$50 a ticket, before service charges.

f* that.

You get a 3 hour performance out of that easily, maybe more, whats your complaint? I paid like $60 to see them in April. and thats why you go to a ticket outlet and save like $5 on service fees, but you seem to be too lazy to do that.

[mountmccabe]

My last four shows cost $50 total.

And the $22 I spent for that Aesop Rock show as one of those four is the third most I've spent on a show this year, only behind Coachella and Daft Punk.

$50+ is a lot for one show.

[rage patton]

I would easily pay $50 for the Mars Volta. I am dying to see them do a headlining gig. Tour in 08 perhaps?

[shakermaker113]

oh please. if the convenience charge is $10 per ticket and I bought two tickets online it'd be $123.50. if I bought them at an outlet it'd be $120. it's worth $3.50 if I don't have to go out of my way.

besides I wasn't complaining about service charges specifically, I was complaining about the overall cost.

[luckyface]

I kid you not, I would not sit through Mars Volta if the band paid ME $50.

[BlueDevil50]

glad im not the only one who thinks this band is complete shit...theyre the only band, besides squarepusher if you wanna call that music, that i have to skip past on that coachella dvd

[suprefan]

What band have you guys been listening to?

They dont feel it, leave them be. And I dont wanna hear ''they ruled when I saw them open up for SOAD OMGZZ!! '' Some people like it, some people dont.

[ThomThom]

They have never been my cup of tea, as I have stated before...Listening to Mars Volta live is like getting blown by a chick with braces.

Actually, I liked their opening set for The Chili Peppers better.

[suprefan]

Or that one too. I went to that show for FREE, just for Volta. Other than that, my fave is still seeing them in San Diego in 2005, 3 hour and 15 minute set, woot.

[tessalasset]

I kid you not, I would not sit through Mars Volta if the band paid ME $50.
hahaha they were playing that before the soundcheck today.

[wmgaretjax]

I like Mars Volta's first album. I also thought they were OK live. Then that next album came out... meh.

I really want them to do an actual tour. Not just a couple shows in California.

They tour every other country. Why not North America?

[suprefan]

Because thats how it is. They played in Seattle or Vancouver a few years ago though, 2005 was a decent tour, 2003 had a tour too when all of De Loused was played front to back. I saw them as support on some tours thats why you probably never gt a headline date up there. The random opening time was for Pixies, 3 songs in 50 minuutes. Also on the A Perfect circle tour in 2004, lots of fun.

[rage patton]

Must have been Seattle. They came to Vancouver with SOAD in 05. Then RHCP in 06. They were suposed to come with A Perfect Circle as well, but that show got cancelled. Either Maynard couldnt make it or he was sick or something.
I checked archives. They have never played a headlining gig in Vancouver.

I just got back from PJ Harvey. It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. She played by herself, mostly guitar based, some piano, two tracks on keyboard and two on Autoharp. She opened with To Bring You My Love, and it was amazing. The whole set was about an hour and a half, and over 20 songs I imagine. And, she was charming and cute.

Other than that, my fave is still seeing them in San Diego in 2005, 3 hour and 15 minute set, woot.

Wow, so they played four songs then?

Ok, I am done. I will say that when they opened for APC, I was extremely excited to check them out from the buzz they received. That is about all of the positivity I have for them.

[luckyface]

I just got back from JEW tonight. It was a pretty cool setup, and we enjoyed ourselves. A short, fun show full of their hits. Mad props to Tessa yet again. She rules so much!

The setlist (thanks to Tessa for making me a copy of it):
Big Casino
Let it Happen
Always Be
Carry You
Praise Chorus
Work
Bleed American
Pain
Sweetness
The Middle

Blister, Get It Faster, and Lucky Denver Mint were on the setlist but not played. We should get an hour and a half tomorrow. I am hoping for some deeper cuts!

[gmoneyak]

What band have you guys been listening to?

I with you there, Rage... I truly dig Mars Volta live, and $50 is about the norm for ANY decent New Year's show... I might have to make the trip over the pass for this one..

People only vaguely care when you involve bands that don't blow in your incessant musical pissing contest.

[tessalasset]

always be and carry you are my two favorites on the new album so i was so excited they played those consecutively. tonight is gonna rule.

No, come on Rocke, Frances The Mute just came out when they did that tour. 3/4 of the Frances material was done, the rest all old.

supre i just found a picture of you on val kilmer's daughter's facebook.

[suprefan]

What the hell? Val Kilmers daughters facebook? So this girl was shooing Justice night 2 and randomly took my photo? I look like I am ready to kill somebody.

[tessalasset]

yup and yup. you look so pissed.

[suprefan]

I think I am visually upset, the photographers in front of me were being semi annoying and always blocked my view when Iw as getting a short at the begining. So ya know. And the kid with the eiffel tower got on my nerves maybe a minute before that was taken I imagine. Getting hit in the head with the Eiffel Tower of Justice is not fun.

[garrett222]

OK...so interpol this weekend at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Anyone been before? I want to bring my camera in. Are they real thourough on checking for stuff (pat downs?) Should i have it in my back pocket or do i need to stuff it in my undies!?

I need advice...they were sounding all serious at shoreline amphitheatre about cameras, but once i got up there the guy didn't even want me to empty my pockets!

[suprefan]

Yes, yes, yes. And I dont know, do as you need I always get mine in. I hope the weather doesnt suck while waiting in line.

[dorkfish]

you'll probably be fine by just putting it in a pocket or sleeve...

[garrett222]

if they do find a camera..will the take it away permanently or just until the show ends?

Supre..you're saying that this venue will pat down your back pockets?

[suprefan]

I dont know, and they wont take it. they coudl go crazy on you. I think I am good I know thoe security gaurds who work bay area shows, nice as hell.
