i guess LJ made enough of an impression to open the next tour!

you sure about that year? this was the show I saw them open: http://www.u2gigs.com/show283.html

^^^ that's when i saw them.

that video is a like a time capsule of all the abominable decisions of music production in the '80s.

Too tired to hit Sebadoh last night. Next show is Tuesday. Enslaved and YOB.

Ryley Walker Dig in.

Sounded great. Definitely missed MWP a bit but a very solid show all around.

well robyn hitchcock was playing ar GAMH the same night.... not sure if it was a solo show or Venus 3. kinda bummed i couldnt make it but my wife had booked dinner reservations a while ago on the same night.

The Losing End!

what part of SOFT BOY don't you get?

i forgot about Robyn Hitchcock.... i've seen him at least a dozen times.

The Church...should be interesting w/o Marty Willson-Piper, though Kilbey's been the only constant...MWP has left before, as has Koppes. but yeah, i really like what Marty brings to the table. still, should be a good show and am really excited to hear one song they've included in the set list (sneaked a peek at setlist.fm and they've been playing this particular song each night).

i think i've seen GBV ten times now too.

before i started shooting almost ever show i've seen (2006), i have to rely on dodgy memory.

without having specific numbers, i think i've seen these bands at least ten times each: Neil Young (in various guises) Sonic Youth (not counting solo shows or side projects) Yo La Tengo Kurt Vile Melvins Wilco

The Church, this thursday. edit - i just checked to see what shows are happening in SF next week, and what do you know? Tweedy is playing twice. hmm....

huh... there are too many good TV shows now to keep on top of.

i watched _Weird Science_ w/ my son last night. it hearkened back to the days where actors didn't obsess over their teeth (hello Robert Downey Jr and Kelly Lebrock).

the most frustrating concert ticket line experience was 1985, in Providence while waiting for U2 tickets....about 3 of my friends and I stayed overnight in line. we were probably about 50 or so people back in line when we started. the box office opened in the morning, around 9 or so. about 10 minute before they opened, a huge glut of people just crashed the line. we ended up having to buy tickets for the Worcester show because the PVD show had sold out by the time we got to the ticket seller.

it's not just Pike that makes that decision.... Al has to juggle OM, and Jason's got Neurosis' schedule. here's a recent post from their facebook page:

never was a big IM fan.... i prefer the pre-Dickinson records to be honest.

the lack of record sales hits most bands, not just the upper tiers. King Buzzo has talked at length about this, and is one of the reason that The Melvins do a lot of limited (and expensive) releases, in an attempt to get some sort of revenue stream that complements tour revenue.
