ON SALE TOMORROW!
OMFG. SO THERE. not sure if i'll stay for gnarls, can't say they've done much for me the first 3 times i saw them, although they have been known to move my feet at times… but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SETH&CO FOR BRINGING US H&LA!!! WOOHOOO!!!
i would have been curious to see how well H&LA would have sold on their own. now the show will obviously sell out b/c of gnarls… next time?
you have very "questionable" taste in music..
liking H&LA more than GB is questionable? or are you taking issue with liking H&LA at all? i make no qualms about that. i like dancing, and they've put out the most danceable album in the past year. i like their arrangements. the vocal performances are solid. etc.
next.

Gnarls Barkley is the dumbest thing to happen to music since 80's hair bands.
and by questionable i believe he meant like…"you're fucking really gay for liking Hercules and the Love Affair you disco-dancing queenie."

Well I think there is dumber stuff out there than Gnarles Barkley…
There is some truth to referring to GB as Marvin Gaye with a sampler, however the first album was a little to hyperactive in general. The second is definitely more miss than hit… I dig the song with the retro sixties feel, where Danger Mouse farts in the general direction of Mark Ronson. With a sound that isn't as fake as conjured up on you know who's CD.
I'm all for the use of sampling, but would really like to hear what Danger Mouse could come up with having to rely on them so much.

very nice! i got a pair in center orchestra row R. not as good as your pull, but im just happy i got tickets. last time i saw them was at the MSG theatre. easily one of the best shows i have ever seen.
good write-up of last week's NYC show
in the Village Voice. the article is kinda pretentious - even though the author points out that most SR write-ups are pretentious - but he does a good job of capturing how majestic a show it was. will probably sound over the top to those who've never heard SR live, but take my word for it: he's spot-on.
can't wait for another dose.

Check out his work on Martina Topley-Bird's new album. It's kind of amazing, I love it.
ALSO: Gnarls Barkley is amazing. They kicked my ass at the Roots Picnic a couple weeks ago, and I've been telling people about them since. Seriously, it's amazing.
And I just might be the only one on here who really REALLY likes the new album. It's so diverse, musically, and his voice is unbelievable. I'm a fan of Cee-Lo's songwriting anyway, so…yeah.
(Yeah, I'm definitely surprised this didn't sell out quicker.)

Well, I think the new Black Keys and Beck albums are something of an indication of what Danger Mouse can do without a sampler. The Black Keys album is AMAZING. And the songs that have been released from Beck's new album are amazing as well.

warner = smaller, so they need to charge more - and eddy still won't rake in the same amount as he did at verizon, despite it being a solo show (assuming take is split equally between band members, and i'm talking gross take in both cases).

little to none, if the PJ @ Verizon show is anything to go by.

if you like pearl jam, (YES)

and have never seen him solo, (I have)
one of the nicest venues in dc. (930 Club)
take your drinks to your seats four at a time if you like. (930 Club …and seats? who sits a a rock show?) :) )
excellent staff, (of course 930 club :D ;)
Oh and sweetcell, I wouldn't base Eddie's tight lips at the DC show on much.. very uncharacteristic… usually he goes on, and on…

The smaller artists I've talked to about the whole leaking thing don't mind it for the most part. In fact, they like the exposure.
But yeah; if anyone has a right to bitch about it, it sure as hell ain't Eddie Vedder.

but eddie vedder is a surfer, dude. they are cool. cool = requires mucho moolah. and look at his hair. that's A LOT of product right there.
and i've never been to a rock concert at a venue with seats, where i sat. people do that? oh yeah, those people. the ones who looked bored by the middle of first set, or are weak bastards who can't stand for a whole show.
the person who dare say the bathrooms at 930 are better than at warner, should be forced to clean the ones at 930, after a show.
the 930 staff may be all nice, but some of them are scary looking. they know who they are, and i'm sure they intend it to be that way.

the person who said that, i suspect actually
has cleaned the bathrooms after a show :D
LOOKS?!? you think a person isn't nice because of how they look? hey, if you can't get over appearances, that's your problem - not the other person's. arguably the two scariest-looking dudes at the 930 are among the nicest people i have ever come across. next time you're at the club, get over your fear and go introduce yourself. they don't bite. in fact, you'll probably have a nice little conversation (hopefully that's not scary for you, either).

and if you think the general public doesn't look at the people who work at a place, then form an instant, lasting "who they are" and "what kind of place this is" impression, thereby using that (mis)information as an excuse to patron or not patron the place again, then go open a business.

a couple thoughts:
1. considering the wide range of appearances of the staph at the club, i'd be curious to know what that impression would be. we are about as diverse a group as you can get.
b. if someone doesn't want to come to the club because of the way we look, that's their loss. what does our appearance have to do with how a show sounds?
III. you are making a bold statement by claiming that you know the intention of someone that you have never met, based only on their appearance. you are making assumptions with incomplete information, and you are way off base.
