I cannot wait until they come to the cradle in a month or so. Great fucking band.

POINTLESS THREAD, but this group of drunks deserve the love.

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist,
You're a spineless liberal.
We marched together for the eight-hour day
And held hands in the streets of Seattle,
But when it came time to throw bricks
Through that Starbucks window,
You left me all alone.

All your glorious battles, what did they amount to, what did they prove? All for your pride of country, all for your sacred democracy, rival national myths. All for your rich ancestry of warmongers, you hailed as heroes. Don't believe in your jingoistic pride, that fuels your imperialistic genocide.

Aaaalll alone


I bet the Cradle show is going to suck.

But, I'll still be there.

9/21/2005 2:21:02 PM

Why would it suck? They fucking ruled last time Is aw them there.

9/21/2005 2:22:46 PM

I just heard from a friend who went to the last show at the cradle and also to Aces Basement with me that the cradle show was nowhere near as good. Aces Basement was the last show of that longass tour they did, so maybe that had something to do with it, but they ripped at that show and I just don't expect the Cat's Cradle to be as good.

I just got to listen to "Searching For a Former Clarity" this morning for the first time. My first impression of it was that it kindof sucks. "As The Eternal Cowboy" took a few listens to grow on me, but even the first time that I listened to it I picked out a few songs that I really got into. Opinions on the newest CD?

I have never listened to this band but it has come to my attention that they have an album entitled "Reinventing Axl Rose." I have been an AVID GnR fan for many years and would like to know what's up with the album title. Also, my sister listens to this band and pretty much all the music she likes sucks so I don't think I would dig them.

10/24/2005 7:03:21 PM

well, its just an album title. axl needs a few hot pokers up his ass these days anyway, after taking the GnR name and ruining it with his overweight, can-sing-anymore, egotistical ass.

10/24/2005 9:37:15 PM

The new album isn't bad, but isn't as good as some of the past. Miami and whatever track no. 5 is are good ones though. I haven't given it a really solid listen though.


That said, they are fun as shit live.

10/24/2005 9:51:01 PM

^^^ It is a song:




We want a band that plays loud and hard every night
That doesn't care how many people are counted at the door
That would travel one million miles
and ask for nothing more than a plate of food and a place to rest
They'd strike chords that cut like a knife
It would mean so much more than t-shirts or a ticket stub
They'd stop at nothing short of a massacre
Everyone would leave with the memory that there was no place else in the world
And this was where they always belonged
We would dance like no one was watching
With one fist in the air
Our arena just basements
and bookstores across an underground America
With this fire we could light
Just gimme a scene where the music is free
And the beer is not the life of the party
There's no need to shit talk or impress
'Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon
And every promise that's made and bragged
is meant if not kept
We'd do it all because we have to, not because we know why
Beyond a gender, race, and class,
we could find what really holds us back
Let's make everybody sing
That they are the beginning and ending of everything
That we all are stronger than everything they taught us that we should fear

so far I like it. They've definitely "grown up," but they've grown up right.

I especially think "from her lips to god's ears" is hilarious.

Oh Condoleezza what should we do about the situation (developing) in Iran and North Korea? Condoleezza?... Democratic election under martial law. An Iraqi president out of U.S.-controlled choices. After all this death and destruction do you really think your choices advocate freedom? The President's giving a speech in Georgetown to remember the voice of a slain civil rights leader. Do you understand what the Martyr stood for? Oh Condoleezza, do you get the fucking joke? [No!]

10/25/2005 8:50:18 AM

Yeah, that is track 5 (I think) that I was talking about, that song is great.

10/25/2005 8:51:19 AM

Leaving shortly for The Cat's Cradle.

burn burn burn

11/22/2005 11:06:42 PM

awesome show as always

11/23/2005 12:16:52 AM

oh yeah! I wish I could have gone to this!

11/23/2005 12:23:17 AM

They were really good.

11/23/2005 12:40:25 PM

was it mainly from the new album or did they play oldies but goodies?

11/23/2005 2:07:06 PM

good show

11/23/2005 3:57:18 PM

The first 6 or so songs alternated between new and old. Then they went to about a 2 to 1 old to new ratio. They played a lot of songs. Granted, they are pretty short songs, but they put together a good set.

The Epoxies were really good. I had only heard the song from the Rock Against Bush comp, so they were pretty new to me. I don't know if their albums can hold up to their live show, but I was impressed. That girl that sings is a fucking rock star.
