i would go with you . . . but i dont like people.
Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition
too bad. i was joking anyway. i dont actually hate people, but strangers do make me nervous. i dont know why. it makes me not trust people, and then you just go around thinking you are going to get shot or stabbed.
I might still go. But not sure if I want to do two road trips in one month.
(im not a huge fan of strangers either. If I go to a show alone i try to keep to myself. But I must look approachable because i usually get a stranger or two conversing with me at all shows, which I guess isnt that bad).

We will be discussing his lack of use of the shift key while being catered to at our next luncheon.
What most of you really take issue with is not the price of the show, but that others either can or are willing to pay a price that you are not willing to pay.
The difference of course is that Seth is here and willing to take your schtick and you are too lazy or not willing to go stand outside a show and question those that did something you did not want to do, mostly because you probably really don't care enough to do anything more than type a few poorly worded sentences to vent your frustrations.

Would now be a bad time to complain about James Blake being booked on Mother's Day?

i have no problem being able to pay to see Morrissey at that cost but he is a has-been. He isn't worth the money. The most I have ever paid in face falue for tickets was for the decemberists (75 dollars) and they had an orchestra with them. Convincing people to stop overpaying for nostalgia shows isn't going to happen. You have people who only go to people way past their prime and they aren't paying to see the artist but to get a feeling back from their youth.
Anyway Sigur Ros and Beach House are coming up. I might actually have paid 141 dollars to see those bands. Fortunatley their fans are not all in their 50's so the tickets are cheaper.
Morrissey is a has-been, but the Decemberists are a never-was.

I saw Colin Meloy at Iota where he sold a Morrissey covers cd. I bought 3 of these cds and sold each on ebay for $150 bucks to ridiculous Decemberists fans.
Not sure what I was thinking liking the first Decemberists album, but 400 bucks in profit on zero work is awesome.

Decemeberists career is 10 times better than Morrissey's solo career.
"The thing I like is way better than this thing that other people like!!!" Who cares man.

He is not a has-been. Please stop calling him that.
and if you don't want to pay it, then don't go. It will be nice not to sit next to you and listen to you complain about the price of the ticket.
WOW peter murphy
what a weird story…

Last decent song was "More you ignore me, the closer i get" which came out in 1994. that was 19 years ago. His live shows are comically bad. I don't know how much more of a has-been you can get.
That is your opinion. I personally love most of his newer albums and think he's still fantastic live.
Can't say that I've seen Morrissey live but I've heard nothing but good about his shows.
Bottom line: some oldtimers can carry it off while others can't. Assuming one can't just because they are older only shows one's ignorance. There are definitely some who have become nothing but a nostalgia act, or should even just hang it up, while others go on to provide us with their art for decades.

Deerhunter. Yes or no? Love their albums, but have never seen him live…

Total has-beens; haven't released anything decent in months.
