Starsailor review...
Originally posted by tiia:to the contrary, dear
maybe Im being too wax-intellectual about this
Ok, so I posted a bit of the review from the Express, with my own positive commentary tacked on.
I thought perhaps the Coldplay comparison might be helpful for the person wrinting the review for BY. Perhaps they could refute is as part of their review, or agree with it. eg: Some critics have compared Starsailor to Coldplay. This seems a bit redicuous based on their performance Sunday night, blah blah blah…

Before you posted the review Rhett. dont pretend you dont remember being a buttmunch before posting the review.
The thread title is "Starsailor review". I was simply doing just that, posting a Starsailor review. If this is a private discussion, why post it on an internet chatboard where everyone is allowed to comment?

what does unctous mean anyway?
Is the two for one special with the Starsailor show actually real? Where does it actually say this? I might get dragged to the show if it is, but i want to be sure first.
Yes, it's for real. They do it for shows that nobody seems to be buying tickets for. Print out the coupon from the email and bring to the box office the night of show.

Ah, its an e-mail….gotcha…yeah, they refuse to send me those things for some reason. Does someone want to hook a brother up?

thanks pollard….i knew someone loves me…
pollard no worries…someone else loves me too, i got it. but thanks.
i'm really surprised by this 2 for 1 deal–starsailor filled the place about 1/2 last year–not to bad for a one album band. they've gotten more hype this time around so, while not expecting a sellout, i was expecting an equal to or better than turnout than prior.
wave to dj booth… i'm filling in a the last minute
just a reminder – come to the club tonight to see a hot scottish lad – and now kosmo in the dj booth! :p
I'll be there…see you guys :D
Originally posted by stateless:Hummm? Starsailor never came across to me as being that 'deep'. If music was was a food substitute, they'd be Sweet And Lo. But I'll be the first to admit, I could be missing the point. If you like bands like Starsailor, Coldplay and Travis, you'll love Keane! The band has no guitars and all the songs that I've heard so far are piano ballads.
Originally posted by mark e smith:I had a very different reaction to the 2nd album…some songs were more immediate, but as a whole, I guess the first album did make sense to me sooner. That said, after listening to a number of songs on SIE a few more times, I grew to love them. It's like all of a sudden I got it. They made sense. A couple of those songs I was iffy about at first are now my favorites on the album. I definitely agree that 'Silence is Easy' is one of the stronger songs on there though…not so sure about 'White Dove.'
Originally posted by stateless:So do I. I think the "Spectorized" tracks are the strongest. I still think the album is not nearly as good as their first.
not quite following with the discussion here, but…
i disagree with a lot of that review…
so, how did everyone enjoy the show last night? i thought starsailor sounded great!
what did you guys think of the lovely scottish lad johnathan rice? minus the random political outburst, i thought it was great!

I thought the show was very good, their songs are what they are, enjoyable, but nothing amazing, I wish the club could sound that good everynight, it was just about perfect. Not a bad dj either ;) .
Missed the opener.

I thought Johnathan Rice was lovely. A very strong, low voice. I would love to hear what he sounds like with a full band, but it seems like he's more the singer songwriter type. I liked his political outburst and his comment about the obnoxious talkers: "I know we are all friends here, but if you loved me half as much as Starsailor, you would be a bit quieter." Some of his songs were accompanied with a loud roar from the crowd -grrrr.
And Starsailor were strong. They are very earnest and sincere on stage -if a bit awkward. I still prefer Gomez in terms of the music itself. But Starsailor always have a really strong show and are enjoyable to see. I don't take a lot from it but you can't help but like the guys. The sound mix was incredible.

the should would have been great if it were not for all the drunken fuck wits there that nearly ruined the show. we tried to move to a different spot and no matter where we went, there were drunken fuck wits.
the times the drunken fuckwits were at the bar, the band sounded great. they are much more confident on stage, but still not at that overinflated ego stage yet.
jonathan rice's set was better in the second half than the first half. does he normally play with a full band?

Originally posted by kurosawa-b/w:i loved that little comment he made about being quiet. and oh, the accent. gets me every time. i don't know if he usually plays with a full band, but i think he'd sound really great with some more rockin' force behind him. the loud roars from the crowd were most likely from his family and friends - they were the crazy scots screaming his name. nothing like family pride :p

i think the reason i enjoyed starsailor so much was because of the sound mixing – it was fantastic! it's been a while since i have been to 930 and heard a show sound that clear and great.
Was he as cute in person? :p
Sir HC, did you have your hands in the mixing?
