Check


2. I'm not sure that The Rolling Stones could hold my attention after a Mclusky show, let alone those Baltimore wankers. I mean, if Mclusky take more drugs than a touring funk band, then they take waaaay more drugs than the Oranges. [/QB]


Double check.

The oranges were really shit though, right?

I think I saw a rattlesnake that looked like you.

If it's the Oranges Band that you are talking about, they do not suck. I thought they were great opening for The Breeders at the Ottobar in B'more.

sure, Oranges band might have been fine supporting a well past their sell by date Breeders, but they were not very useful following the on form, hard rocking, more songs than a song convention, Mclusky.

The oranges bands video was on subterranean the other night. The song was alright, but did not strike me as being outstanding in any way.

The Breeders last album may not have been very good, but you can't deny that Last Splash still sounds great. They were certainly not past their prime at the show I saw in 2002. Other members of the board can attest to that.

Your McLusky example is poor. They are an incredibly strong band. Even Andrew WK would come off as weak following them.

I still like The Oranges Band.

(1) You fellas were up late talking about this shit! I was decompressing from a fantastic Fountains of Wayne show. Thank god the boys are back on it; after the last show I was worried. Still, it was an odd show – talk about a range of ages. My friend and I actually thought there was a family reunion taking up the entire left balcony, because it looked like all kinds of kids, parents, aunts & uncles and grandparents!!!

(2) Isn't taking long to love "The Remote Part." I'm on my third listen, and it is great. Woo hoo! I also bought Ash, the Ataris and Notwist…we'll see how those fare when I have the time to listen to them as well.

Why? Mclusky did support them.


Dont you mean the choice of which band went on first was poor?

Fountains of Wayne are great arent they!? My girlfriend adores them , and I got to see them in Wisconsin last week….and bought thier CD yesterday. I wanted to see them last night, but was still in the midwest :(
I wouldve been nice to see them without all of the Wilco hipsters all over the place!

Not that I have any cred, but I'll second thirsty on this one.

I still listen to last splash and the 2002 show was brilliant.

YES, Fountains of Wayne are great. But the last time they came through town their show was dismal. I think it was a combination of their scheduling the dates thinking the album would be out, plus it was their first show on a short "pre-release" tour. They were horrible; played for 55 minutes and truly phoned it in. So we were really worried, and assuming, that the album would suck and they had lost their charmed existence.

Thank goodness we were wrong. The album is fantastic; one of the catchiest things you've heard in ages. And the show kicked ass – every song was better than the studio versions.

Sorry you missed it, but you did see them in Wisconsin. The almost sold out crowd last night was a tiny bit weird as well…..

Am I a Wilco hipster if I saw them on their first tour and think Being There is their best album?

wanted to see FoW last night, but g/f and i were just too tired after travelling for 10 of the past 12 days, that we just wanted to stay at home. just got the cd while in chicago last weekend, and have only had a chance to listen to it once, but it's gonna be a good summer cd from that first listen.

looking forward to the fall though.
