OK so you don't support an artist even though you enjoy their music.. good to know
I guess by the Killsaly Transitive Property of Artists Support you support Britta by supporting other artists…I'll let her know at the show and see what she says…of course, you don't care..
but you see my friend, musicians are people and people have to eat and pay for shelter… so that they can make the music you so fancifully and casually enjoy…so that you can compose your lists of 5000 albums you've listened to and love…
I realize for millenials such as yourself, azaghal and others all music should be free and artists should make a living i know not how but the world, you will find one day, does not work that way….
get a freakin room already
I will say that KS is the last person you should be giving a hard time about supporting bands
as he spends lots of cash on bands at their shows and buying their merch…where bands make the majority of their money. The majority of 'music fans' do not do that
as for his support of britta ….it's weak, but there are far worse faults for a man to have

nice of you to interject here though…
Britta worked on that album for years… there's a lot of history to it…to just take it for free and brag about it.. In the old days millenials woudl say "hey I don't buy music but I go to their live shows.."
Killsaly is lowering the bar to "hey i don't buy music but i go to other musicans shows…"
next it will be "hey i don't buy music but i listen to it and don't ask them to pay me for doing so.."

I'm nice like that
Can you stop talking about me?
Grow up. You do not know me.

Exactly.

may not 'know you' perse…but you've revealed a lot almost 3000 posts here (and more under other profiles)
So I would say we could paint a picture of you that is a lot more accurate than let's say Bags
Edit…bags was probably a bad example with 8412 posts (although since 2001)…I just don't feel like I know bags…
yeah what happened to bags? and how about that guy who moved to seattle?

Bags…fat single white chick who smokes cigarettes and hang out with lots of gay guys. I think she's a paralegal and claims to drive an Escalade.
I wonder if the Luna show will be a "penthouse show"….

I mean WTF is "they deserve better" supposed to mean? the Velvet Underground played most of their shows before a handful of people….
As a huge fan- and Luna was the number one reunion I wanted to see- I'm real happy I will have another chance to see them…
I'm pretty sure i saw Luna at the old 9:30 Club, then again at the Cat's Cradle in 96 or 97, then several times at the new 9:30, including the reunion show. Hey, I didn't see their every appearance in the last 10 years, but when you have a wife and young kid at home, you pick and choose carefully and sparingly which nights you go out….
Anyway, I've always associated seeing Luna with seeing them at a proper rock club. The Birchmere is tacky, tacky, tacky. It's where my middle aged suburban neighbors pay 45 bucks (plus mandatory parking and handling fees) to go see Kevin Bacon play a three night stand. Or 80 bucks to see Three Dog Night, and it's probably not even the original dogs.
To me, Dean Wareham is an elder statesmen of indie rock. He practically defines middle aged cool. He belongs in a rock club, not a cheese club.

I don't disagree with a lot of what you say…. I just don't care.. we'll have a good time! It will be fun…. the band will have a good time too..
one of the things I've learned over the years is that seeing the same bands in the same clubs time after time is boring and the shows really blend into one .. when you see a band in an unexpected venue that show becomes more memorable.. it doesn't seem like it would be that way but it is…
I saw Dean and Britta at the National Gallery of Art.. very cool… they had a giant screen TV and were playing Warhol screen tests while they played songs associated with the Factory……..it was free and on a weekend afternoon…. of course the line of people trying to catch a free show was ridiculous (all those thousands of people couldn't fork over $20 to see them at the Black cat but FREE SHOW FREE SHOW and they descended like maggots)… I was the last person to get in!
I mean lets think about it from Dean's angle.. yes the 930 Club is spectacular.. but they have played it what 10 times? 15 times??? How interesting can it be to stare at the same wall in the green room, etc..?
You go to the Birchmere - and you may not like it- but the place has some SERIOUS history… you may not like country or folk but some serious dudes have played that place… a guy like Dean Wareham is going to be interested in that.. heck one of his personal heroines , Nancy Sinatra, played there…Ray Charles played there, Cash.. and they got all the signed and dedicated pictures.
I know cool rock and rollers may have trouble seeing that but I think its true… after you've played a place time after time after time.. a different place and in VIRGINIA could be more interesting…
the key will of course be what the turnout is… if everybody says "oh the birchmere blows! fuck that shit!" well it could be sad… but if people go and its relatively well attended.. no reason it can't be a great time.. :'(
I mean shit it just occured to me that you really like a lot of the musicians that play that place tons: Lucinda, Earle, Dement….

I'm here all night!
Lucinda hasn't played there since 2012. Steve and Iris, they are well past their primes.
I grant you that legends have played there. In the past. A long time ago.
