Nkotb, you're right behind me! :-)
I never go to DAR, but I swear, the last time I was there for the Pixies, I thought I had amazing seats only to find out you had even more amazing seats. I'll try to meet up and say hi.

One week until B&S at Constitution Hall, nimrods. New album is streaming at NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130212728. Will listen to it tonight after Happy Hour. The band's website hasn't been updating setlists, but the setlist from the Vegas Matador show looked pretty good.
Their new album is even worse than the last one. Hooray for their newest member, Norah Jones.

Thanks for the link. Good to see Loneliness getting frequent play. What do I have to do to get I Love My Car played?
Post an anti-urban, pro-suburbs rant on here.

Don't think I can swing that. Not full of much rage, lately. I'm trying to twee the fuck out.
Pretty pumped…
Sure, the new album might be their worst. But it still has 4-5 really excellent songs on it. And that won't affect their live show much at all, since they'll most likely only play the good ones and B + S have never been ones to throw their whole new record at an audience. They like to give the people what they want.
Plus, these guys've already released a normal career's-worth of good output and Stuart has near-infinite charm.

Have you tried requesting it via their Q + A thing on their website? When I asked 'em a question sometime way back they replied.
Really? I've seen that link on their site, but I never really considered it. Friend of mine and I came to the conclusion that the song was so instrumentally extravagant that it would be extremely difficult to translate well live. Note: I have no experience in music or bands. Just a gut feeling.
I'd have to ask about the Rollercoaster Ride, too. It's a damn shame they don't EVER play that. EVER. I might have to start a thread on that.
Would be epic to hear String Jean Bean too.

Versus will steal the show. There is no doubt in my mind.

So what is the deal with no beer on the floor? Do they let you congregate near the entrances and watch the show while you drink your beer?

no. DAR sucks.
So what do you guys think? Doors at 7, Versus at 7:30, B&S by 8:30?

depends on the show. i've been to some where drinks were allowed in the hall, but more often than not drinks aren't allowed in. congrarating by entrances is only a partial solution, as DAR has doors that remain closed unless someone is entering or exiting the hall (i.e. there are no open doorways that allow unblocked viewing & listening).
