I was surprised he didn't play either of the singles ("It's Written in the Stars" and "Leafy Mysteries") off of the new album. An incredible show regardless, though.<P>One thing I would like to note, though, is that people that sing along with the songs at the top of their lungs really piss me off. Especially when they themselves can't carry a tune. Like, I'm glad you're really getting into the show, but I came to hear the artist on stage, not you. I'm totally congratulating myself for my restraint in not turning around and hitting the guy behind me repeatedly.<BR><p>[This message has been edited by arcane (edited 02-20-2003).]

okay, just what is an emo scarf? <BR>i've seen it tossed around here before, and perhaps i'm still a touch too new with too few posts to have hit that chapter in the 930 bb textbook.<P>poorlulu, damn label that sebastian rogers is on was down all day so i couldn't download pictures of his hottie self. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fico:<BR><B>ps: seems not having snowflakes on yer scarf eliminates the "emo" factor… talk about double standards </B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

what about the drunk bastard that tried to work his way to the front? i wanted to throw him over the barrier. obnoxious shit that he was. <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial, Veranda">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by arcane:<BR><B> One thing I would like to note, though, is that people that sing along with the songs at the top of their lungs really piss me off.

Which is a good thing, because I really have no tolerance for people like that.<BR>

no the drunk guy was front and center…….and he was from landin mate innit……..from the same town as paul…….god he was annoying i mean i'm up for getting drunk………(as you all know) but why do it at a show that you really want to see and remember? i doubt that bloke even remembers he was out last night………….<P>as for singing loudly and badly……..that was probably markie…………he is awful for that…….

I sing along at shows too, and was singing along to practically every song last night, but I do it quietly enough that even someone standing right up against me wouldn't be able to hear it. More of a mouthing the words and mentally singing along than actually singing. Seems only right, seeing as I'm not the one on stage.<P>

You could barely hear the band at all.<P>I can smile about it now, but at the time it was terrible.

i was talking to a buddy in detroit and found out some of weller's dates were cancelled due to low ticket sales.<P>in detroit they actualled kept moving the show to smaller venues. the last being a club the size (if not smaller) than the old black cat. guess people don't appreciate good music anymore.
