Just Announced

Hopefully Langerado not happening was  a sign of things to come.



Down with festivals!



Yes, I know that makes me sound like a selfish douche but really don't care.

You really should start your own thread to store your superfluous quips instead of junking up 'Just Announced'.

Not a show announcement but noteworthy nonetheless (well to myself, nkotb and maybe walkonby):
Dean Ween writes
"also, we are being interviewed for a documentary on spongebob squarepants which will be aired on nickelodeon sometime in the near future. for me personally
being a part of that show is something that i'm very proud, we did music for the show before it ever aired without having ever seen an episode and as luck
would have it it turned out to be the best cartoon since bugs bunny. later on they ended up usin "ocean man" as the end theme for the spongebob movie.
the little kids in my neighborhood are very impressed."

Even though I'm tempting a curt post from callat, I just read that email.  That line (below) cracked me up.

Wait, I'm confused - why would I have a curt post?

For cluttering up the Just Announced thread.  Happened last time with walkonby's comments about Gene Ween being gay and me having a hard-on for it.  I was only joking though. Promise  :)

you just know that some religious god loves everybody but the gays organization will use this for fodder to spread their merry marriage messages.  "see, you let the queers do it . . . and soon they'll be marrying their pets." 

sorry for cluttering.  i just knew gene was gay.  spongebob.

If the approaches the epic-ness of their show at Nation right before it got torn down, then we're all in for a treat. Well, at least those of us who go.

Shins tickets are already on sale at their website if anyone cares. Just scored mine. WOOOOOO!

Julie Doiron, April 26, DC9

Last time I saw Julie Doiron was the Fall 2000 doubleheader show of Damien Jurado/Doiron/Aden/Pedro the Lion/Death Cab (who bailed!) at the old Metro Cafe…those were the days.

Thanks for the info on the Shins tickets! I'm sure that one will sell out really fast.

Yeah - Thanks for The Shins tip!

Yeah thanks about the Shins, got my pair just now.

I hate when the guys on my iPod start beating up their girlfriends. It?s not like I boycott their music: I?ve enjoyed the songs of many a criminal, some of whom have probably knocked around a few ladies. But when it happens in real time, I?m out. This small trend started early in 2008. I was reading Elyse Sewell?s blog?if you watched the first season of America?s Next Top Model, you?d recognize Elyse, and maybe remember that she dated a guy named Marty. Martin Crandall plays keyboard for the Shins, and apparently he roughed Elyse up and she wrote about it. Next thing I knew, I couldn?t lose myself in ?Turn On Me? or ?Sea Legs? or ?Australia? the way I could before. I felt vaguely embarrassed when they popped up on shuffle, and yearned for more innocent times. (It was also weird to think about a sweet-looking hipster like Crandall being a violent guy).
The Shins aren?t alone, of course. You may have heard about a young singer named Christopher Brown who was recently charged with felony accounts of assault after beating up one Rihanna. The duet Brown sang with Jordin Sparks, ?No Air,? has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and part of what I loved was how unabashedly over-the-top teenagery it was. Then my view of Brown changed. I like my singing teenagers overwrought and funny, not overwrought and violent. ?No Air? is no longer fun to listen to, and the title has nothing to do with it.

hmmmm
