Van der Graaf Generator is playing in Boston again (next Saturday @ the Regent in Arlington)

funny, i haven't noticed that trend at all recently.

actually, she came right out and blogged about it, well before Lowery had even heard of her. She wrote a blog in response to someone ripping all their cds to a cloud service and then selling them. she made the point that she's got all that, but doesn't even have anything to sell.

well there was mention of a friend borrowing her ipod and loading it up w/ 15 'gigs' of Big Star, Velvets, and YLT. i interpreted the 'gigs' to be gigabytes, not live concert recordings. c'mon...11,000 songs and 15 cds?

Mogwai fucking destroyed last night. way better than the show i saw a few weeks ago.

Laura Marling tmrw, Mogwai

there's a 'multiply by zero' joke in here somewhere...

yeah, Feelies and Wire for sure. Buzzcocks were great but played old material. haven't seen Go4 though it's down to just Gang of 2, right? also add Polvo.

good shows i've seen of reunited bands: dinosaur jr archers of loaf afghan whigs guided by voices mission of burma the soft boys thinking fellers union local 282 come codeine sleep stooges swervedriver big dipper the jesus lizard scratch acid swans pavement urge overkill slint throbbing gristle camper van beethoven killing joke versus chavez for against PiL X Harvey Milk I'm sure there are a bunch more.

yes. and Dan Shaughnessy had the greatest line when Boggs returned to Fenway wearing a Yankees uniform and got a standing ovation, saying that Boggs willed himself popular.

She's been hanging around w/ Wade Boggs it seems. anyone get this reference?

The video was actually pretty decent.

iirc, the correct protocol involves strangling people with their blankets.

the GA is the cheapest ticket. total win. sitting is for pussies.

fucking presale password ain't workin....

i didn't realize he was still alive, never mind recording.

i can rationalize that i go to most shows w/o paying, so on an annual basis, it's not so bad if you work out $/shows.

The Eagles have a lot more sins than that...

Neil's the only one i would consider dropping that amount of $ for...it's not like the prime seats for Roger Waters are any cheaper, or whatever the idiots who buy via Stubhub pay for good seats on a routine basis. and i'm gonna make my wife pay for her own ticket.

but haven't all those shows been the same (The Wall)?

this same thread occurred during Neil's solo theatre tour, and despite the # of people bellyaching about the cost of entry, i think that most if not all venues were sold out. Neil's gauged his market pretty accurately, i'd say. why leave that $ to the scalpers?

fuck it., i'm in. i doubt there will be another Crazy Horse tour, and i'd like to see them once last time.

i can't wait for the 'Neil is gouging his fans' posts to start up again.
