Return of the Show Conflict Thread!

Very impressive first post. Welcome to the 9:30 board. Can't wait to hear more of your brilliance.

Well clearly the guy had a show conflict, and he stated it thusly. I say, applause!

But without presuming who he refers to as the "really fat guy", I'll say that there's no reason for someone named "Glowstick" – nor anyone who advocates their use or claims them to be "where it is at" – to be disparaging anyone.

Edit to add:
I've been singing the "Where it is at" version of Beck's tune for a few minutes now and it's awesome. Makes me feel slightly Ukrainian or something.

i just loved Love Is All when they opened for Of Montreal. I had a conflict up here, but Mercury Rev won out since my friend already bought the tix. That always solves all the problems.

kohoutek is supposed to open that bardo pond show, though there seems to be some confusion with the other band (the one cotton casino is in). we'll see.

bardo pond might also be coming down to dc on 12/20. i'm working on that now. we're doing a hawkwind tribute night and i'm trying to get them to headline.

Buzzkill…a Hawkwind tribute on the 20th? I'll be in Chicago for work. Want to move it up a week :)

Good choice. I heard this may be their last tour of the U.S.

The Damned. Who knows when they'll be back. I think it's been something like 7 years since the last time they played here.

Excellent. Not too big on the Talking Head after going there the other night, honestly.

I don't normally have show conflicts but this one is tough for me.

December 20th:

1. Ryan Adams and Oasis (I want to take my dad to this)

vs.

2. The Trend (A really awesome mod punk band from back home are doing their last show)

I know for many, it's a no brainer of Oasis. At the same time, it's tough to pick because I know Oasis aren't coming back for a long time and it's not everyday Ryan Adams tours with a band he loves, And then there's The Trend who won't play another show together again probably ever. Either way, this feels like a challenge and question of nostalgia.

so turns out i just ran into a conflict.

Dodos @ Brooklyn Masonic Temple
of Montreal @ Music Hall of Williamsburg

although i already bought a dodos ticket, im leaning towards of montreal, as they never play small venues in nyc anymore. i figure dodos should be back again soon sometime and i dont think theyre as popular as of montreal, but i honestly have no clue.

anyone??

I'd only see Of Montreal again if they promised to play nothing but pre-Aldhils Arboretum material but that's just me. :)

LOL. good to know.

has anyone seen the dodos? im curious to know what ill be missing if i dont see them. ive seen of Montreal a number of times, but never seen the dodos. They sound great but theyre also playing with The Walkmen who I have no intention of staying around to see. Perhaps I can figure out how to do both, but thats prob very unlikely.

I've missed the Dodos every time they've been through here this year which is plenty.

i would definitely pick the Dodos, but i dont really like Of Montreal all that much, so.

yes - it seems theyre here quite a bit which was my thought. i figure my chances are more likely that theyll come around again before of Montreal. Decision is made - assuming I can even buy the tix. hopefully its not like the franz ferdinand fiasco. if thats the case guess im going to the dodos :)

just to add to the conflict of the 16th - this sounds pretty cool.

Things will come full circle on this Tuesday night in December, when Sam and James reunite in a context that will be part conversation, part consternation, and part Ultimate Fighting.

Sam Lipsyte, author of "Home Land" and "The Subject Steve," and a recently Guggenheimed novelist and Columbia professor, began his descent as the much feared Sam Shit, front-man of the internationally ignored Dung Beetle Rock Band. And Dung Beetle's engineer was one young James Murphy.

James Murphy, the man who resurrected disco via punk, is best known for his band LCD Soundsystem and his record label DFA. James Murphy, upon being crowned artist of the year in the Village Voice 2007 Pazz & Jop poll, stated: "I'm 37 years old. I'm 220 pounds. I'm a producer. I've got about as much likelihood of being a fucking frontman as Christopher Cross…"

Next thursday:


Boris/Growing/Clouds in Baltimore V. Skeletons/Kushti Rye Ergot/Max Ochs at the Velvet


Boris always put on a great show but the Velvet one is obviously more convenient and I've never seen Max Ochs and this new Skeletons album is pretty good so far. It reminds me a little bit of Dirty Projectors.

Neither :)

Just kidding - Skeletons if I were to pick…..

Antony at a small venue vs. Andrew Bird at the 930 (vs. Flying to Nola for the Britney World Tour debut. Chick might not make it all the way through the tour.)
