Son of Commentary on Just Annouced

But Mankie (or was it bull930, I get them confused) said Europeans have better music taste than us.

he sold out his 80 shows in europe last year. he has a new album coming out in a few weeks… dunno, sounds lile "having a career" to me.

these shows will sell out.

Their tv show didn't debut until 1989. Did you lack a sense of humour (sic) before that?

hehe, "humour" is how it's spelled where both i and the KITH come from, did that on purpose :) i didn't say that they brought forth my sense of humour, i said that they were formative. "shaped" != "created", but i'm sure you knew that.

Nah. These things typically start at like 7 and will go till like 10. Pretty much the same times as you'd be at KITH. ARGGG

i'd go see george micheal–depending on ticket prices and seat

me too, I think it should be a great show, kind of the same thing if you see Madonna but in a male version

i'd expect madonna-like prices, so if cost is a determining factor then you might not be going…

Why do people go crazy with Pearl Jam ??

It's not the 90s anymore and they are NOT relevant in the present!

And Mike McCready is unbearable to watch.

I dont care much for pearl jam, but the relevance debate is pointless.

someone notify the admins - it appears that walalce has hacked joe's account.

Mr Micheal ticket prices according to one news outlet run $50 to $175

who cares if PJ aren't relevant, they still put on one mighty fine rock concert, which is why i'm for NJ, DC and probably one of the MSG shows.

it really is horrid when someone enjoys being a rock star and plays it up for the crowd :roll: isn't indie rock dead yet?

they put on half show, half political banter courtesy of eddie f*king vedda.

good thing he's not as talkative as billy bragg; otherwise, you'll get 3/4 storytelling (political BSing) and 1/4 music.

mccready can do what he wants - he's just so awkward to watch. I cringe.

wow the masters in exaggeration sure is coming in handy these days.. the only show I've been to where eddie was overly chatter was on the vote for change tour, which of course was the whole point of the tour.

don't recall any specific rants the last time they played dc and they didn't even do bushleaguer.. the only thing i would change about a pearl jam dhoe, is i wish they would drop "rockin' in the free world", primarily because the initial point of that song got lost post 9/11…

I don't think there has ever been a presale that went quite that smoothly. We picked up three pairs of tickets without a single hitch.

probably because there is no reason to rush during a ten club presale - you seat assignment depends on seniority or a lottery, not on how fast you get through the door.

tom morello was pretty good last year at jammin java. did anyone else go to that?

I saw him that night, it was a surprise for me, giving the fact that he was able to deliver the same amount of intensity of RATM or Audioslave, but without the power of his electric guitar…catchy songs with a message, totally recommended

morello's nightwatchman set at coachella last year was one of my festival highlights. his passion is contagious. highly recommended. i'll definitely be at this show.

Wow - Blitzen Trapper/Fleet Foxes sold out the Backstage at the Black Cat. Not exactly a huge room, but they sold out early enough for them to post it on the website. That doesn't happen often.

Jens Lekman is also sold out.

Yeah, stupid me for not getting tix in advance (I actually thought about buying this afternoon online). It's Fleet Foxes that sold out the venue, not Blitzen Trapper. So, I got to the venue with the big sign that it's sold out…

But, I ended up catching New Zealand's Die! Die! Die! at DC9! And, they actually turned out to be very good.

Check them out:

Xiu Xiu is also sold out. Glad I got a ticket for that…

Really? I've been seeing lots of press for Blitzen Trapper. Never heard of Fleet Foxes.

Being signed to Sub Pop:

And lots of great reviews of their live shows at SXSW…

I'd say the show sold out because of the two on the same bill ;)

I'm not surprised Jens sold out this time round. I was considering going, but since I saw him just last October (was it?) it's not going to break my heart to miss him this go 'round.

Fleet Foxes do indeed put on a great live show.
Good thing I grabbed my ticket at about 8:15 before the crowd got there.


Room was packed to the gills for them but the crowd slowly thinned out as Blitzen Trapper's set progressed. I'm a sucker for tight vocal harmonies and FF more than delivered in that regard.

Sure, but will they ever headline the Super Bowl halftime show?
