i don't find them all that funny to be honest... like i chuckle at some of their songs, but it's pretty light at that... *shrug*

the restriction is due to the processing and memory requests of indexing and searching every single word on a forum. 3 is pretty common and the default for most board software the lower you go, the more power and database size it takes up.

that record is great!

both shows are already sold out unfortunately there's been plenty of threads on Bon Iver on here before too

sweet! i'm related (by marriage) to the owners of Twist & Shout, amazing store

the run of Our Age, Time Can Be Overcome, and Brother Run Them Down is the best in their catalog i think

yup... it's a German band called Velveteen: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1584761&vid=221791 my friend works for Atlantic, there are no non-watermarked copies out in the wild yet, so i wouldn't expect a leak for at least another 2-3 weeks.

are you referring to the fake one? with a :41 track 1 or whatever?

awww! makes me recall last year's just reading through the thread. super jealous!

well there's certainly SOME similarities, yes, but if you listen to the Black Keys first album, The Big Come Up, it's WAY more traditionally based in the blues than any of the White Stripes records have been.

his first 3-4 albums are fantastic, but the stuff since then has been very hit or miss.

it's too bad that 2 piece blues rock bands are going to be compared to the White Stripes until the end of time now it seems, especially since TBK have been around for over 7 years now. i gotta say that after the last 3 White Striples records, i much prefer the Black Keys at this point. mostly because i prefer Dan's smooth yet gravelly rasp of a voice to Jack's by quite a bit, and live they do it for me a lot more (mostly because Patrick is an amazing drummer). i also prefer Dan's guitar tone live to Jack's high pitched squeal these days. as for Things, i think the drums & bass line sou

it was on the Dakota's site the other day, but those 2 dates are from Pollstar

get Transfiguration of Vincent and Post-War first i'd say, then End of Amnesia & Transistor Radio

i'd be shocked if Evil Urges even comes close to touching At Dawn for me, but i welcome it with open arms/ears as for the title cut... i like it a lot, especially seeing it live in Austin, but i think Smokin' is my favorite at the moment.

huh... could have sworn he was 26 or 27 when i first saw/met him in '01... i guess maybe he could have been turning 28 later that year.

35? pretty sure he was born in '75 or '76

definitely in the minority... dude is incredible, especially live also one of the best young guitarists around

FANTASTIC band and a great bunch of fellows too! American was one of my fave records last year and my favorite local Twin Cities album by far. they put on a really good live show as well if you go see any of those Southeast gigs, tell Ben that I said hello

At Dawn, but it's quite a bit diff from Z

yeah, that's pretty spot on... Carry Me Ohio just kills me...
