Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

i like a lot of their music but they are just a bunch of greedy bourgeois assholes
Why do Savages have to be playing at the stupid rock and roll hotel?

Looks like I'm breaking my rule and going there.
Gotta hand it to 'em…they're getting good shows there.

Someone in the comments pointed out that the $69 "ticket" was actually a parking pass.   And the $85 tickets were available from the beginning.  I guess maybe they released more, but it's not like they just popped up.


The $69 tickets are the $85 tickets, just before the fees. They were available during the initial on sale, but sold out everywhere. I struck out on $85 tickets for Philly because of how terrible comcasttix.com is, now I'm glad I did.
Lambert knows how to work the agents. That is for sure.
I bet they will be playing the Club by the fall. I can hold out.

It's annoying.
All shows that in DC are annoying.  I have decided to stop going to shows in DC unless it is on the weekend and someone incredible who I have never seen before.  Like Sigur Ros or Paul McCartney.  No more 930 club or Black Cat shows for me.  I had tickets to Shout out Louds last night but it was raining and I just didn't feel like making the awful drive down to DC. 
everybody in dc will shoot you anyway, especially on weekends . . . and special shows.  shooters love special shows; more people to shoot.

Not lazy. I just don't want to spend 4 hours driving in the rain.  That isn't enjoyable.  If a band is smart come to Baltimore.  Philly shows are really no further than DC shows.
bands wont come to baltimore . . . because they not only shoot you there, they throw you in the harbor to be eaten by sharks and have tourists take pictures of you.

Yeah I don't go to many shows at the 930 club anyway.  maybe 4 or 5 a year.  So no big deal.

Only a 60 mile difference or so.

Bands are coming. Father John Misty, Ariel Pink, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down,  and Neutral Milk Hotel are coming.  
yeah . . . but nobody has heard of them.  the shooters will all be looking for the big acts to come around.  you know, like green day.

Not really. I think the travel time from my house is exactly the same.  I live within a block of the County border in Northern Baltimore.  Philly is an hour and a half.  Same time it takes me to get to 930 club.

I don't understand the angst of me saying I am not going to DC anymore.  James Ford won't even drive out to columbia to see a show.
