Springsteen at Camden Yards Saturday
Spoon at Atlantis. Are we ok getting there around 8:20pm?
The Walkmen at the Lincoln. If you're going, please no heart attacks or overdoses. Or if you must, then please quietly slump over in your seat.

Oracle Sisters at DC9. Why did I buy a ticket to this show?

Wish I had gotten a Spoon ticket for any of the three shows.
Spoon Thursday

Can’t believe I’m siding with Space on this but “decorum, even in death” is one of Julian’s America’s founding principles.

FWIW, the guy that died was a really nice person with a lovely family. He is missed.

May he RIP.

Believe it or not, despite some of my shit talk here, I'm a mostly nice guy with a most of the time lovely family.
Totally understood. Just an awful situation all over.
just listened to Sleep Token,…….wow, awful.

Yeah. I bought the ticket based on an article I read, without having heard the band. Was able to sell the ticket for $5 over face, so #winning.
the real question is of course has Sam Smith been seen in the same room as Sleep Token (yes I read their bio)
Los Auténticos Decadentes at Lincoln on Friday.

Just curious, what article made them sound like a good show? This exchange interested me enough to do a google search.
I think it was this. Full disclosure, the link was pushed to me via some algorithm.

https://wrrv.com/corey-taylor-three-new-rock-metal-bands-carrying-flag-heavy-music/

But, ahem, "What does Corey Taylor think" about the current state of rock and metal, and which bands are exciting him the most?

"Turnstile are fucking amazing. Sleep Token are really starting to do something for me, and Bad Omens are great. There’s a whole new generation of bands that are starting to come up that are carrying the flag for heavy music," the rocker enthused.
That should immediately disqualify anything else you're heaping praise on.

did this band pick have any sway?
Honestly hadn't heard of Turnstile either. Only vaguely know of Corey T, and figured he knew the metal scene better than I did.

tl;dr metal sucks?
