Official 930 Club Belle and Sebastian Echostage June 11 Show

I don't think they're going to knock anyone's socks off with rare songs being played (i.e. I Love My Car, Beautiful, String Bean Jean, or I'm Waking Up to Us), but the pool of songs they are playing from is very strong. I hope they aren't playing the new lame, full band version of Piazza they've played the last couple times through. Write About Love is a great album and deserves more than just one song a show. And yes, I Want the World to Stop is a great song.

All in all, with their most recent tours, you know what you are going to get, but they're still going to be awesome.

My God Help The Girl DVD kickstarter finally arrived today, there is a reason I won't ever back a film project on kickstarter again… Me thinks Stuart and co got in over there head with some of what was on offer.

lets face it…

That's a fantastic setlist. VERY nice!! Sounds like a super fun show.

I heard their Coachella setlist this weekend! Sounded great.

I thought it was pretty cool on facebook you actually went to the statue afterwards. (I didn't want to comment on your friend's photo.)

Thank you for keeping the public informed of your facebook interactions/lack thereof….riveting.

Did you like the Hillary Clinton page yet?

Yes, I was a very happy man last night.  Gorgeous weather, gorgeous venue, the band was in great spirits and played a wonderful set list - San Francisco themed for sure.  I'm still on a bit of a high from it.

Haha - I'm glad somebody got it.  I asked the cabbie to drop us a couple blocks short of home for that photo.  You could have commented, he's got a great sense of humor. 

so Mays…


or Juan Marichal ?

There's actually McCovey and Cepeda statues as well.

But we took our photo in front of Mays because I always thought this lyric was a clever play on Willie Mays:

"The statue's crying too and well he may"

I always assumed everyone picked up on this.

What is your problem with God Help the Girl?

The film itself is fine, it's just that the Kickstarter wasn't exactly a positive experience.  I.e. the original delivery date for it was June 2013.  But due to distribution deals they signed it is now only being sent out. It also means some are now finally getting other perks paid for in Feb 2012. A bonus disc I was supposed to get is now being provided as digital downloads.  Plus, there was a very long silence about the status of the project after the movie was released.

Basically, I won't back any movies on Kickstarter, as final distribution is determined by many forces, much different than say getting an finished album. 

I backed another movie and it turns out they needed even more money to secure musical rights before they could release it.

I backed Super Troopers 2 knowing full well that it's going to be a shit show.  I'll be shocked if I ever get my digital copy.

yeah…but that's a worthy cause.
I'm sure there will be some bongs filled courtesy of kickstarter

it's official ….
My Belle & Sebastian (Echostage) tickets have been dispatched

What's everyone doing for parking at this show? Should we start a new thread?

I'm not sure I understand what is special about parking. I found parking much easier than, say Black Cat or D.A.R.
