Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

Nah, I'm just not a 20 year old, double digit IQ, high testosterone male, so heavy/hard rock doesn't appeal to me.

why ? because they have a few albums that swamp the rest in quality?

all bands have peaks.. look in the Old 97s/Rhett Miller mirror Jackie.
Which albums of theirs should I check out on spotify?
Old 97s peaked in 2001 with Satelitte Rides
No, they peaked in 1997 with Too Far to Care.

bunch of pussies.


Let me know how your back feels post show!


back in the 1970s Hutch saw the Who from ten rows away in the pit….. Yada was up in the seats sipping his tea; he was always an old soul, even when he was a young one




No.. there was a time in my life that I enjoyed sweaty men rubbing against me for hours at a time, but I grew out of that phase.
Also, I'm surprised no one brought up the self absorbed douche that insisted on standing at the free Portugal. the Man show the other night at the zoo.

Do you always talk about yourself in the 3rd person?

I don't care about them. For some reason, I always considered them some kind of mainstream band like Foo Fighters, Weezer, or Pearl Jam (in their respective genre), but maybe I am wrong.


I felt that way for a while, and then I heard their albums.

I don't think they are anywhere as good a Weezer.  I find them boring and just straight ahead boring old school rock n roll.

I like that one album by Portugal the Man a lot.  But saw them live and they weren't as good.
Speaking of that band, this is what happens when you refuse to sit down at one of their shows.

Edit: Already mentioned. Step away for an hour or two and you're lost.

personally not a huge fan, but they are an act I can imagine puts on a great live show.
I just don't like big venues like MPP and unless it's a band that I have to see…I avoid most shows there


yeah i'm the same… i saw two shows last year at MPP (New Order and the Bob Dylan/band that used to be Wilco fest)


before that i think i'd gone a few years without going there

I'd like to see Willie Nelson also at MPP this year but only crap seats available .. i think i was practically nearly dead when tickets went on sale or something…otherwise i can't imagine having passed that onsale up.


I love going there.  It was designed to be an acoustically perfect outdoor venue and was one of Frank Gehry's first designs.

I thought PTM was good last night in Norfolk.
