I was really hoping to hear "Ada" and "Gospel" at The National show, but I can't complain. It was a fantastic show, regardless.

I also second those who commented about how nice the band was. I got there just a few minutes before the opening band went on, and as I headed down Franklin St., just before I got to the intersection where the KFC is, I noticed this dude walking by himself up the street. I thought he looked familiar....

I went up the street and parked near Armadillo Grill, started walking down to the venue, and came to the front door of the Cradle where I saw the guy I had seen walking down the street..... sure enough, it was Matt Berninger. By the time I was walking in, he was already being mobbed by some group of inquisitive kids near the front, but he was really receptive to all the attention.

I found it completely random that he was just meandering down Franklin, by himself, an hour or so before playing a sold out show. lol

Yea I really wanted to hear Guest Room and Gospel

All the songs were awesome live except they seemed to struggle a little on Apartment Story i thought

9/9/2007 6:05:18 PM

Guess I should have got a ticket to Peter Bjorn and John. Sold out

9/10/2007 11:09:57 AM

meh, while i wouldnt mind seeing them live, they are nowhere near worth the $25 ticket price to see live

9/10/2007 12:42:28 PM

I'm kinda glad I forgot to buy tickets to PB&J. It would've been worth it for Clientele, but I have a feeling that crowd would annoy the bejesus out of me. I heard "Young Folks" in TJ Maxx. TEE JAY MAXX!

9/10/2007 1:42:06 PM

aha, we also heard the Dawn Landes version of "Young Folks"

But I'm not annoying... right?!?!



[also you are gay for previously telling me you were going]

9/10/2007 5:40:18 PM

Yes, I'm a dickhole.

But I just spent $texas on plane tickets. So I'm a broke dickhole who doesn't need to be paying $25 for one band I've already seen and one band I could honestly take or leave.

9/10/2007 5:53:33 PM

I wanted to see PB&J as well, but didn't know if it was worth $25 to me, despite loving both of their records. Going to see Midlake and The National the week before and then Andrew Bird this upcoming Wednesday was enough of a marathon for me.

9/10/2007 8:40:33 PM

I'll be there, w00t!

9/10/2007 8:43:40 PM

this is me excited about andrew bird

9/10/2007 9:21:03 PM

i saw Peter Bjorn and John perform "young folks" on tv a couple times, and the dude isn't an "actual singer", meaning they protooled the shit out of that shit to get it in tune on LP. in other news, the apples in stereo are playing the fucking lincoln theatre. weird, but i'll be there.

More like that's the night that DAN DEACON IS AT THE ORANGE PEEL AMIRITE

9/10/2007 11:15:21 PM

PB&J were good <3

though I hate to admit that spooky was right about the crowd... a couple people behind me were acknowledging how brilliant they were for realizing that PB&J were "just like Franz Ferdinand"

9/12/2007 12:23:54 AM

^ Good God.... (franz ferdinand reference)

I cannot wait for Andrew Bird tonight. Picking up the tickets at will call.... anyone know what time the box office opens for will call? I didn't see it in the confirmation email and the Carolina Theater website sucks my baws.

9/12/2007 10:42:00 AM

I used to work there, the box office opens daily at 11:00.

9/12/2007 10:54:53 AM

any clue on who's opening for Mr. Bird tonight?

9/12/2007 10:55:32 AM

Andrew Bird's myspace page says 8 pm start time and there's one opening band. (Augie March from Australia---http://www.myspace.com/augiemarch)

Shows at these venues tend to start right on time (at least the Decemberists did at Meymandi Hall, as did Sufjan Stevens at Memorial Hall). If the show starts right at 8pm, the box office will open at 7 pm according to this page: http://www.carolinatheatre.org/theatreinfo/

But, since Spooky used to work there, I'm taking his word for it. Do you think they'll start right on time as I assume they do, Spookyjon?

More information on directions and parking can be found here: http://www.carolinatheatre.org/theatreinfo/directions.html

9/12/2007 5:41:22 PM

thoughts on Andrew Bird: that was the sickest thing I've ever seen in my life...just became my favorite concert.

Ran into some people who caught him at the Orange Peel Tuesday night, and instead of Jeremy he had someone on drums sit in with him.

And here I debated seeing him in Asheville, Durham, and Atlanta...now I'm kicking myself.

********

Oh yeah...Ani Difranco coming to Thomas Wolfe in Asheville 11/11, and Carolina Theatre 11/14...tickets on sale now at tickets.com $35

free Flyleaf show last night @ Lincoln was awesome

the opening band, however, was easily the worst opening band I've ever seen in my entire life, and that's saying something

What? I mean, that was a good show and whatever, but whaaaaaaat?

9/13/2007 9:36:54 AM

So it was just Andrew bird up there by himself? No drums? Did he play any particularly unexpected songs (e.g., Oh Sister, Bob Dylan cover)?

I was supposed to see him at the Orange Peel, but school got in the way

9/13/2007 9:53:23 AM

^^yep. that's what I said.

9/13/2007 12:05:58 PM

9/13/2007 12:27:08 PM

^ Yaaay

9/13/2007 12:30:23 PM

Andrew Bird was awesome last night. Played mostly older songs (I only remember Plasticities, Cataracts, Scythian Empire, and I think Yawny At The Apocalypse were played off Armchair). I love watching someone able to put together songs like him and Owen Pallett. I had only heard of two or three songs from Augie March but I thought there performance was a little uninspiring. Maybe they just didn't eat enough to put on a good show.

9/13/2007 12:52:51 PM

cornchips

you had salsa

9/13/2007 1:29:01 PM

I almost went to sleep during Auggie March....

9/13/2007 3:29:45 PM

I spent the whole set trying to think of a hilarious thing to call them, and all I came up with was Yawnie Barf. Which isn't funny at all.

9/13/2007 3:54:03 PM

^ Smoggy Farts is almost phonetically on point....

damnit, also not funny.
