In The Future When All's Best
NYC peeps, I just bought my ticket to see Elbow perform next Thursday night at Webster Hall. Holler at me if you're going too. I guess I'm finally taking the plunge on Webster Hall. Hopefully Central Village is right and it won't be as bad as I'm envisioning it. Side note: In Detroit, the opening band is named American Mars.
My next trip to NYC? This summer for the (as yet TBA, although I'm hearing June 2) FREE SUPER FURRY ANIMALS SHOW. Say it with me people...FREE...SUPER...FURRIES! Although, technically most of the Furry shows I see are free, but that's not the point! I am hoping, nay, praying, for a full length tour to follow. I got the news on the show last week and I've been giddy ever since. And yes, in case you had forgotten, I am a huge dork.
Now this is a set list. "Reader Meet Author" and "Still Ill?" Nice. For the record, I'm totally loving Ringleader of the Tormentors. The production is clean and snappy, although not overtly shiny like the last record. Moz's voice is in fine form and there are some great tunes for him to sing. Much, much better than You Are The Quarry in every way, except the cover art. The first two songs are the worst and I just skip over them and rock out to the rest of the record. Thumbs up.
Sweet. Although Kid A over The Bends and Bona Drag over Your Arsenal? *shrug*
Drool. I still listen to Days of Speed constantly.
Editors live & acoustic @ SXSW
Stream the new Eagles of Death Metal album. I like what I've heard so far.
Here's a new song to download:
The Streets | When You Wasn't Famous
Okay, now book some good acts and I might come.
Quoth Fred Durst: "I can sleep at night knowing that I have and will never sell out and make music or do my vocals for any reason other than my soul needing to express itself through my art." Whatever gets you though the night buddy.
well, i was trying to keep the acts to a disc a piece, so you know it was all sort of arbitrary. i mean, sometimes you just have to spin the needle, and it ends up on november spawning a monster...
Hey Kyle..I'll be at that show..hope to see you there.
best wishes on the Webster Hall experience...
it'll either be awful, terrible, or pretty good. be sure to buy drinks at the downstairs bar (rather than the one in the music hall area) and try to stay closer to the stage for the best experience and in the middle of the hall for the best sound (duh...but the sound can get really rough in certain parts of the place). the riser that CentVill talked about is a sweet spot but then you can also usally hit up the spots on the floor in front of that riser too.
that's my $0.02 at least
I'm seeing Elbow this Sunday in Chicago...
the bass at webster hall is ridiculous. i thought my ear drum was going to burst from the sound of the bass drum during Wolf Parade on monday.
