damn

kate nash AND leslie feist in asheville 4 days apart

asheville is due for a cuteness overload

2/19/2008 10:11:32 PM

More like a boring overload amirite!!!

The Megafaun / Bon Iver show was good, especially the part where the guy who was tripping balls got kicked out.

Opeth! Thursday May 29th Myrtle Beach HOB

Fuck the Oscars.

Swell Season tickets are $35. Sold through ticketmaster. Which makes them $42.50. Plus $2.50 per transaction. Even with all that, I thought I'd give it a try. The "best tickets available" literally SECONDS after they went on sale were in ROW Z.

Fuck that.

2/29/2008 10:11:18 AM

wait till their next tour. no one will know who they are.

or just watch the frames on a tour (again). i just started listening to that stuff again and it's pretty good.

Bummer dude. I pegged it right at 10am and got Row E, dead center. Even though it was $88 for 2, it's the first concert we'll go to in like 6 months.

You should've tried again real quick -- just for kicks, I selected "lower boxes" and got Row A (which is still a fantastic view). With setups like this, I rarely go for the floor. Always go for some obscure place and try to nail a Row A. Front row in the lower balcony beats the 20th row of the floor all day.

But yeah, these were too expensive -- hoping it'll be good though.

2/29/2008 11:36:01 AM

We ended up trying again and getting row P, simply because it will be easy to change our minds and sell them if we want to later.

2/29/2008 4:00:02 PM

God damnit, why did I not know that Beach House was at the Local 506 tonight.

2/29/2008 10:25:19 PM

^they were good, but showed up late and only played about a seven or eight song set
papercuts, the opener, were pretty horrible

3/1/2008 11:07:18 AM

I really loathe the Papercuts. Saw them open for Grizzly Bear and it was painful to watch.

3/1/2008 11:44:22 AM

^ I believe we've talked about that Papercuts debacle a few times on here.

Seriously, they're like zombies on stage. They look bored to be there, and the crowd naturally reciprocates, lol.

3/1/2008 2:47:16 PM

dude

you almost made me shit myself

then i read the rest of your post

3/6/2008 11:13:34 AM

haha, poor wording on my part, but at least I clarified it for you before you took the time to visit the blog.

BTW, those Spoon tix go on sale today.

I'm seeing Stars at Neighborhood Theatre in Charlotte in a couple of weeks. Anyone see their last show at CC and care to comment?
I'm hoping for more from Heart and SYOF and less off that weaker new album.

3/7/2008 5:55:23 PM

Stars play mostly all their popular songs and then the decent songs off of In The Bedroom. I didn't particularly like the album but the five songs they played off of it live were fine.

03-17 - Tilly And The Wall - 506
03-21 - Del - CC
04-21 - Cloud Cult - 506
04-27 - Destroyer - CC
05-06 - British Sea Power/Rosebugs - CC
05-09 - Radiohead - Charlotte
05-24 - Silver Mt. Zion - GE

3/14/2008 3:27:53 PM

4-5 The Modern Skirts @ Local 506

4-13 Spoon @ Carolina Theatre

4-21 Cloud Cult @ Local 506

4-30 Josh Ritter @ Cradle

5-9 Radiohead in (blech) Charlotte

Still interested in, but undecided on, Fleet Foxes, British Sea Power, and a few others.

3/15/2008 8:27:28 AM

Clutch - March 22 - Lincoln

[Edited on March 19, 2008 at 6:26 PM. Reason : http://www.r5productions.com/ <- these guys are the best promotional getup ive ever seen]

i mean srsly, the schedule has been that sick basically the entire two years ive been here... if i could handle it, i'd go to like 5 shows a week.

3/19/2008 6:25:16 PM

Tilly and the Wall played there new single Monday night and it was really good. Almost like a dance club song.

Here's me, screentest, and spooky enjoying their antics:

3/19/2008 6:58:14 PM

Any word on the REM/Modest Mouse/The National ticket sale dates?

3/21/2008 10:27:04 AM

I heard they're canceling the show due to overwhelming interest in the Diamond Studs concert.

3/21/2008 9:29:58 PM

^ stfu, moron

3/21/2008 11:49:35 PM

stars were really solid in charlotte.....i wish more bands would come to neighborhood theatre

3/22/2008 12:44:39 AM

I was at the Stars show, I think I like that band way less after seeing them live. It was like your parents became homosexual and really in love with each other at the same time and made a band about it

But radiohead is coming soon, so YES

3/23/2008 8:25:41 PM

We (SILVER http://www.myspace.com/silvermusiconline.com) are opening for CRAVIN MELON

on March 29th - This Saturday....we are new + local right here in Raleigh....

Thanx

3/24/2008 10:39:42 AM

I was at the stars show too. It was amazing. I don't know how you can hear them live and not love them. They sounded amazing. and I caught a rose

3/24/2008 11:44:42 AM
