Combining resources
First off everyone should go see Your Pal this Sunday at Revolution Records. Your Pal Pete is an indie rocker with the not so serious attitude. A self admitted pop music junkie.

DAMN, I have to miss Your Pal. Soccer game.
And I want to go the Faint show – same reason, to check out TVotR then as much of the Faint as I can fit in, but I'm not sure I'll make it. I'm assuming this won't sell out…?

it says here in his autobiography that you shouldn't trust anything people in a closed society have to say. and how about this autobiography… education, liberal, repeat

I love the Faint's last two albums, but this new one sucks! I will be at the show anyhow, because they put on a great show. It's nice to hear good things about both openers. Will have to check out all 3 bands.

I don't think that Wet From Birth was as strong an album as their last two, but there are several songs on it that I absolutely love. I don't really mind the strings, for example. Eh, either way, I just want them to play a few songs from Blank-Wave Arcade and I'll be happy.

How about some ore love is for Your Pal… Even Brendan Canty of Fugazi is feeling it.
"Your Pal's Pete Wright is like a brain we keep in a padded cell to write us perfect pop songs. We feed him our favorite records and he lays us perfect poppy eggs. Occasionally he gets uppity, as all our favorite padded-cell-chicken-artists do, but that just makes us crane our necks and fight for space in his minds window to view our pretentions, razed and rebuilt as a simpler world of guitars, drum machines, and good songs"

Bags, FYI it looks like the show will sell out, maybe before doors open.

beep beep was just as good as i expected! i love those guys. seeing them live makes me like their albums all the more. i really appreciate that they're a band doing something other than a stock-genre-sound. and the screamy reminds me of the good old days of modest mouse (shit luck, for one).
TV on the Radio was great but a little slow compared to the rest of the lineup. i think i'll appreciate them more when i see 'em open for the pixies.
the faint was so great that i, um, left the floor, went upstairs, and started crocheting in the light next to the men's room. really, i felt like if you turned off the video, strobes, and drum machine, it was like some bad basement band. i also felt like all these folks self-identified as "better" than pop-sters, but if you got rid of the voice effect, the faint is pretty much pop.

wasn't feeling any love from beep beep, a little to much caterwauling for my liking.
after finally seeing TVOTR after several boardie have been raving about them, it was a deffo WOW this guys are great. a singer who can actually sing and the band sounding like very little else thats out there. i have a feeling we are only seeing the tip of the iceburg with regards to this bands talent.
the faint had that pop-rocks effect on me… intially exciting but worn off pretty quick. chimbly's right about them hiding behind their drum machine. with it they were kind of a lite-industrial group. not sure there would be much left without it. i stuck it out for about 30 min when sonick overload struck and they butchered "pyscho killer". but, from the my vantage point the crammed floor of youngens were having a great time which is all that really matters in the end.

oh yeah Your Pal was great… like seeing a good friend do his songs while hanging in the backyard and chattering away with other friends between songs.
