Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

Trail of Dead.

The last show I saw, maybe 2009, was pretty bad, but if they are playing Source Tags and Code, I'll go! (although the first two albums would have been better).

They went downhill after kicking Neil Busch out of the band.  Every band needs a drug-addled member to keep the creative tension fresh.

I was at few shows, Low for instance, where the late set was pretty much a 2nd set with the same crowd, but not this one!

That was 9:30 SOP back in the day.

the gene ween show with dreiwitz was probably 5 years ago now…lots of things have changed and i'm guessing aaron is surrounded by completely different people…

Azaghal1981, I will probably attend this one and skip the Terrence show on February 21. 

Word. I would definitely be in if you do.

Yeah the 2640 show was very good but nothing I'd go out of my way to catch again any time soon. Still, I bet demand is high and the pavilion will sell out. Lawn might be another story but we shall find out. I'd love to see Circulatory System in an intimate setting. They are kind of a quiet band so it'll probably be impossible to hear them as well as one would want in a setting like MPP even right up against the stage on the floor due to all the chatting of antsy NMH fans.

You do realize the 2640 show was literally their first show together in 15 years ?   saw them at DAR  they have no problem handling big crowds.  Now if they would have booked MPP first then I'd be suspect.. inside the pavilion isn't any more daunting than DAR really.   oh and also .   you're welcome  http://www.crowdsurge.com/Neutral-Milk-Hotel/

  ::)Of course he knew it was their first show in 15 years. 

I will be at the MPP show.  I loved the 2640 and DAR shows, and like another post said, it sounds like a fun summer night.  I am already setting it up for a dinner/concert double date with some friends.

you work fast!

I would need to get four pavilion seats next to each other.  Do you not plan your dates?

Same night as Nick Cave in Philly :(

SKIP IT MANNY!  ;D LETS HAVE A TRIPLE DATE.

I have friends coming just for the Nick Cave tour. And I think I prefer him anyway, although both Mann Center and the MPP are not my preferred venues.

Do you guys really watch late night talk shows?  You don't find them to be dreadfully boring, no matter who the host is?  I dig Seth as much as the next person, but wouldn't waste my time on his talk show. 

Yeah, no.  I DVR John Stewart and only watch the schtick.

I meant the long-format, late-night talk shows on the big networks.  I don't really count the Daily Show or the Colbert Report in that category (and like both shows).  Wiki calls the Daily Show a "late night satirical television program" and not a late night talk show.

It's rare I stay up that late, but I find Jimmy Fallon's show quite entertaining and he's grown on me a lot over the years. I used to be a big Letterman fan too when I stayed up past 11pm.

The daily show sucks balls. I mean it is Ok if you watch one episode.  But watching more than one episode a year is annoying as hell. Because it is the same joke over and over again.  Plus the host sucks.    Colbert is Ok every once in a while.  He is funny at least.  I used to watch Letterman back in the 80's when he was on NBC and enjoyed him but then he moved to CBS and he got guest who were only their plugging their movies and it kind of went down hill fast.

THe late night shows do have live musical acts which I will watch once in a while if someone from Baltimore is on them.

What does this have to do with "Just Announced"? 

Ok I see the other thread has something about Seth Myers having a show.  I don't find him funny.  I get it he is short and all but I don't like short people.
