Great – Pollard, Markie and I tend to be on similar wavelengths, so while I will find it odd to be buying a ticket for a Nada Surf show, I will do so.
How was the crowd – was the place crowded? And when, oh when, did it end?

I got there early I didnt want to miss it. Half the tyde were in the bar and all of kaleidoscope sounds, whom I dindt recognise. Its was dead in there at that time. But by the time the tyde came on, around 11 it was pretty full. The crowd were ok. But it was hard to judge as we were right at the front and if you turn round you cant see hell of a lot. It seemed a few other people were shouting out for songs though.
The merchandise table was really busy at the end of the show and it looked like they shifted a handy number of copies of twice. It was done by around 12.30. I got home just gone 1.

Tyde actually went on about 11:30, and must have finished about 12:30, it was a fairly short set. And Bags, if you listened to the newest Nada Surf you might be surprised and actually enjoy. go to
www.nadasurf.com to listen

Oh Ok, there is no need to get defensive, I just wondered if I was missing something. I can see more behind the tyde than that. The bitter lrics and drug induced failures are offset nicely by some of the saccharine melodies. Like the beach boys turned old and bitter.
Now try and justify nada surf, without resorting to an attack.

sorry I dont really like to get into defending music on here anymore, I was just trying to allow Bags (who seems to have a bad impression of Nada Surf possibly from their hit years ago) to hear newer Nada Surf. I especially dont want to get in to defending music to someone who has admitted never liking music the first time he hears it and using the same argument about the music he hears being bland everytime he hears it the first time.

I think Markie and Bob Pollard should duke it out on the undercard of the Jaguar - Poorlulu bout.

fine, I have asked before what you liked about nada surf and you never have given me a real answer. Looks like I will never know.
There are plenty of things I have liked on first listen, but they normally trun out to be outstanding in my opinion. Like Delgados hate or even DBT southen rock opera.
Often things I grow to like later I dont like on the first listen, but isnt everyone like that?

Sorry. I think the cat fight would draw a bigger audience.

Ouch, that hurts.
I havent yelled at rhett in ages. When I did the only thing I really remember taking umbrage with was the use of certain racial terms.

Oh, nothing of that sort. Just the music arguments.

I just asked Jadetree to justify his fondness of a certain band. Is that so weird on a, where are we again, music forum?
I didnt say he should only listen to alt-country the moment he passes 32.

Well we gotta talk about something when it gets quiet on here, havent we?
As for the first part, do you think Lulu was ecstatic about her looks being compared to those of Ms Lewinsky?

Here you go Markie - when I listen to Nada Surf, I enjoy it, is it justified now
