Anyone else getting buried under a mountain of movie related comment spam?
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.
The band are set to hit the road Stateside this June and are rumoured to be setting up residencies in Montreal, Toronto, Philadelphia and Chicago.
Listen up kiddies, I have a present for one lucky reader.
As you may know Editors, whose debut album Back Room was released yesterday, just started their US tour opening for Stellastarrr***. Well, next Wednesday, they are coming through Washington DC and I will be there. And so will you if you answer this trivia question:
One of the singles by Editors shares the same name as a film nominated for an Oscar for Picture of the Year. What is the name of the single/movie?
The winner will get two tickets to see Editors next Wednesday at the 930 Club here in Washington DC. Just email me your answer and I will pick a winner at random and notify you next Tuesday(the 28th). You have until Monday the 27th at midnight to enter.
**Update** - Email link fixed. Thanks David.
