PUMPED AS SHIT FOR THIS

I can't decide whether or not to stay in Richmond overnight, though.

this is what I get for having a day job

though honestly, it would be far too noisy for me

you kids have fun

7/22/2009 2:02:04 PM

anyone have an extra ticket to she and him?

7/24/2009 4:58:30 PM

there are a lot of those floating around

i've been offered three

check CL

7/25/2009 4:55:11 AM

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised I haven't found one on CL yet. I thought I had one wrapped up, but the guy backed out. I guess I can always just buy one on etix; it just won't be lower level.

7/25/2009 8:30:00 AM

i might even wait until the night if i were you

it's sort of a toss-up

people are expecting some mega-epic shit* at the cradle tonight, and maybe even at OCSC today because everyone's in town at this point

if no mega-epic shit goes down then there may be a scramble for sunday tickets because there will be the expectation of epic shit on sunday

if mega-epic shit does go down some tickets may pop up because she & him are fairly bland (good, but bland) live

so who knows

btw, everyone else see via twitter how lambchop completely and totally stole the show last night?

* by "mega-epic shit" i mean jeff mangum singing

7/25/2009 9:55:35 AM

how did this jeff mangum rumor get started, anyway? just conjecture? i'll be pissed if he makes an appearance, because i can't afford those tickets (nor do i want to see most of those acts).

7/25/2009 12:59:01 PM

There are about 50 tickets available for each show if you want to go out there and wait for 'em at 7 pm.

I don't like my odds, so I'll probably save myself the trouble. I'm thinking if something insane happens, it will be the last night during the She & Him show.

I would also think Arcade Fire would be more likely than Mangum, but that's a complete guess.

7/25/2009 3:33:28 PM

halloween weekend - friday why? headlining cradle. sunday islands playing duke coffeehouse.

7/25/2009 5:28:38 PM

thought zooey was really shrieky for the first two thirds of the concert...

7/27/2009 6:03:31 PM

Pixies playing Doolittle in entirety: 11-30 Washington, D.C. - Constitution Hall

7/28/2009 1:15:46 PM

ganglians opening for wavves at 506 on fri. 10/2. wish it was the other way around.

7/28/2009 5:37:50 PM

why? you don't have to sit through a band you don't want to see.

7/29/2009 8:31:55 AM

^this is true. i was thinking more along the lines of them playing a shorter set if they are opening.

7/29/2009 5:15:53 PM

need a show in raleigh this saturday to be emo at.

helpabrotha.

7/30/2009 2:38:27 PM

Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band - free show tonight at American Tobacco Campus, part of the 'music on the lawn' series

7/30/2009 4:53:51 PM

MBV was pretty good. The opener (Kurt Somethingorother) was bad for an open mic night, which is to say that he was unspeakably bad as an opening act for this show. One dude who came out to corny jokes carrying a BLUE 12-string Guild acoustic and then played crappy strumalong ballads for more than half an hour does not a happy audience make. Holy shit.

Richmond sucks. Other than the place that's attached to the theater, there are no bars or restaurants within four blocks of the venue in any direction. WTF.

7/31/2009 3:03:10 AM

~3 miles away was Plan 9 Music and a handful of cool restaurants and bars, including Galaxy Diner

7/31/2009 8:00:22 AM

I really enjoyed MBV. Other than "You Made Me Realise," I didn't think they were as OMG LOUD as some people act like they are. Really fucking loud, but not markedly louder than other really fucking loud bands I've seen.

Richmond is just an awful, awful place.

And I'm really grateful that I don't have to go to places like the National very often to see the bands I want to see.

7/31/2009 8:53:56 AM

i was both blown away and disappointed. it was all loveless/isn't anything material with 1 or 2 ep songs. i was hoping for at least one big surprise but there were none. the 'holocaust' was amazing though. I was constantly adjusting my earplugs throughout the show so i could hear glimpses of kevin shields' natural fuzz tones at full volume. it was just like looking at the sun. you don't stare at it--you get a brief glimpse and then look away (from seinfeld). also i think they got much louder after the first song

7/31/2009 4:41:30 PM

they weren't anywhere close to the loudest band i've seen

i was disappointed in the volume and never put my earplugs in, and i even brought my hifi hearos.

7/31/2009 7:01:23 PM

legend has it that Small Brown Bike at go way back when was the loudest show ever

sadly, I wasn't there

7/31/2009 7:22:41 PM

so does anyone know when these pixies tix go on sale?

Gonna try to go to an NY date maybe, the DC one doesn't work for me at all.

8/1/2009 7:55:33 PM

bringing shoegaze back to the triangle. tonight at the cave 9pm. will be louder than mbv.

8/2/2009 10:26:58 AM

sucks that kurt wasn't so hot. brian, that's kurt heasley of lilys fame. if you don't have any of those records, go get them (or download since all the best ones are out of print) right now. stuff from 91 to 99 is unfuckingtouchable. if you get one and don't like it, keep going. i'm sure you'll find at least one that you love.

8/2/2009 10:56:40 AM

and small brown bike at go wasn't all that loud (if you're talking about that casket lottery show). i saw white mice open for lightning bolt in richmond one time and they made lightning bolt look like carly simon.

8/2/2009 11:00:08 AM

some girl vomited next to me at mbv during the holocaust

"i have a feeling that show will get moved.. i saw them with Grizzly Bear in Talley Student Center a few years ago and there couldn't have been more than 200 people there.. i think Lincoln holds around 800, no way they will sell that many tickets"

yep, this show was cancelled.

might go see Nomo at 506 tomorrow

8/7/2009 4:41:45 PM

I have been told that there are 29 people in Dark Meat.

I want to go to the show, but I'm just not feeling the drive to Chapel Hill tonight.

8/7/2009 5:36:07 PM

De La Soul at Cat's Cradle tonight. It's sold out and I need a ticket!

8/8/2009 7:19:47 PM

tomorrow night at Koka Booth:

The Big Surprise Tour with Old Crow Medicine Show, David Rawlings Machine featuring Gillian Welch, The Felice Brothers, and Justin Townes Earle

8/9/2009 11:46:52 AM

Mos Def at Music Farm in Charleston on the 13th!! Not exactly close to the Triangle...but anyone up there should just make it a nice 3-day weekend and see him in Charleston on Thursday.

8/9/2009 12:35:27 PM

went to berlin fest this weekend

Deichkind was amazing.

Health was amaying, saw them at the afterparty too.

Peaches DJ set was... dirty.

8/10/2009 3:29:11 PM

a friend of mine asked if i wanted to go see incubus on wednesday in charlotte for 15 bucks, so i said yeah. looks like they've been playing mostly the same setlist in every city on this tour. lame.

8/13/2009 7:40:34 AM

and HOLY SHIT DAN DEACON IS PLAYING IN GREENVILLE TOMORROW

8/15/2009 12:48:58 AM

yep yep

I'm still recovering from last night. Hopefully I'll be ready by 9 tonight

8/15/2009 1:45:30 PM

he's gonna be playing solo as well in october, so i think i'll wait
