Supposedly Smashing Pumpkins are playing RHL on July 12th

The fact that I am probably going to this makes me hate myself.

Im not sure if this was posted, but looks like the RHL Interpol show is not happening.

Clearly all the people here who hate Belle and Sebastian live have no fucking idea what they are talking about. Their show at MPP in 2006 was IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE and the recordings of their 9:30 shows were phenomenal as well. They are one of those elite live bands with great song catalogs that make it more than worth the price of admission, and they play oh every four years or so. I would give my left nut to hear I Love My Car live because I know they would pull it off immaculately. Same for the Rollercoaster Ride. Just twee the fuck up already. These dudes are true pros.

All I have to say it is great to be an indie music fan in the Mid-Atlantic.

Dude, you and Redsock have the weirdest shit that sets you off.  I generally know, if there's a Thousand Made-Up Loves post, its gonna be passionate, batshit crazy, and awesome to read.

Batshit? What!! Don't be talking shit about Bat for Lashes around here!!

But seriously, what else sets me off? I'm a pretty low-key intermittent poster around these parts.

Actually the B&S MPP show was pretty Meh, even Stuart thought so, but the 9:30 shows prior that were great.  Totally dug their last album, it was nice to hear some of the bands other influences besides Felt and Nick Drake.

Their DAR show w/ Sleater-Kinney was awesome, and they were fantastic at Coachella, but I haven't seen them since 2004.

Initial Sonic Circuits lineup

Pinhas/Merzbow duo!
I guess Merzbow finally got over his swine flu paranoia.

Magma and Fennesz are huge pulls as well.

Belle and Sebastian is a band that gets better on each album.  Not many bands are like that.  Hopefully the new one continues that pattern.  I don't really know how good the MPP show was.  I was there but some girl decided to choose me to tell her whole life story to during their set.

I can see how their amphitheater show would have a tough time living up to their 9:30 shows, but the setlist was incredible, the place was packed and we had driven in from Michigan the day before to meet up with friends in Baltimore. Aside from Stuart going Axl Rose, it would have been hard for me not to enjoy the show. And being close enough to shake Stuart's hand was pretty incredible. Christ, they even played the Model.

The five songs I really, really want to hear next time around:

Seeing Other People
I Love My Car
Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner
There's Too Much Love
Rollercoaster Ride

I'm adding my B&S comments over to the Just Announced Commentary FYI, in an effort to keep Kosmo and other folks happy since not everyone appreciates geeky Scottish indie rock (although I'm pretty sure Kosmo does).

I hope there's another thwarted bum-rush of the stage like at the 2002 B&S/Sleater Kinney DAR show.

* Line-up notes:
"More exciting news: the band is welcoming two familiar faces back to the live line-up:

New member Charles Prénoveau-Giguère will be making his debut in the band on bass.
The band are out to recapture their fullest-possible live sound complete with the beautiful
three-part harmonies that mark their recordings."

though i like the flyer . . . like i enjoy most of the flyers/posts you put out on this forum . . . i find it odd that the backdrop for thus flyer is advertisments for winery tours in california.  is that to perhaps "educate consumers"?

:D hell i have no clue. the homie, Seez Mics, got the flyer done. its dope you noticed that though. i just got flyers to hand out for this last night. glad you enjoy the flyers.

i need to visit a winery.
