Here we go again! Tommy solo, east coast. Looking for living rooms, art galleries, churches, bookstores, barber shops, any sort of oddball space with a 50-60 cap, we sell our own tickets. From Baltimore down into Florida. Thank you in advance for any ideas!

I love the Replacements, Perfect, and Bash & Pop. But I have seen Stinson's solo stuff several times in the last few years, and I could not care for it AT ALL.

I clicked this thread thinking for sure Julian was going to report Bieber's Lyme disease…

And then I was going to ask the question about Canadian Pop Stars and Lyme disease.

And then Sweetcell was provide some link to some bullshit Maple Rag about why Canadians have a higher propensity to get Lyme disease because they're so much nicer than everyone else….

But alas, that's not what Jules posted.

yeah, not sure who he opened up for at the 930 …but I did think it was meh
Although did meet him post show at close bar and got to shake his hand and say thanks for the music
still would be cool to have him at a house party
wonder what he charges -$5k?

He opened for Los Leomonheads. 
I am hoping this show comes through my favorite house concert venue in Baltimore.
I am guessing less than $5k, because these sorts of venues dont typically have any way to make money on a booze, so ticket sales are it.

glad to hear Marc Bolan is finally getting into the RRHOF

not really sure Depech Mode is all that tho…
that video of 'just can't get enough' with the whole band playing keyboards blew my young mind at the time (now I know…kraftwork)
We did joke that it would be a great erectile dysfunction ad song before ED became a thing

all the other picks are deserving IMO

DM not “all that”? Okee dokee

I wonder if Vince Clarke would get in with them? He was only on first LP but I think he wrote most of it including Just Can’t Get Enough but then went on to Yazoo and Erasure.

I think even if it’s not your cup of tea DM where pretty crucial mainstreaming synth pop…

The Pet Shop Boys is the tough one for me…

I actually like DM, just don't think they are RRHOF material is all…but obviously I'm in the minority

That's kind of an insane take. They're highly influential, sold over 100 million records, had a style that merged multiple types of music in a way that continues to get copied 40 years later, had hits in three decades, and continue to sell out enormodomes in year 40 of their existence.

The RNR HoF is stupid for not having them in there already. [EDIT: The RNR HoF is dumb regardless.] (And I'm far from a DM fanboy.)

Amazingly stupid, in fact.

The only act I’d potentially quibble about is Biggie. His first album is nothing short of amazing. I think the follow up is held in high regard primarily given the circumstances of its release. That doesn’t seem worthy but I suppose is more than worthy for this BS.

Not all of the nominees seem like rock-n-roll performers.

They guy that wrote that calls himself a "cultural critic." Hopefully, we'll soon see him interview Frank Turner.

Then Chris Stapleton. Then he can write his manifesto, Milquetoast: The Unexplored Culture.
