i hope the demerits i receive won't be too bad. without reading the rest of the thread, i can guarantee no one's posted this (i did see a Chills song, but this is one of the best songs ever....EVER!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Bs1SIBLIc

ask a rhetorical question, get a rhetorical answer. here's another candidate

much.

first song i thought of.

Mitch fell over on top of me at one point Friday. yeah, such an incredible feeling, going to these shows. i really wish i could hit NYE but that's out of the question.

sad to see it over (at least for now), but what an ending to the tour:

tonight!!

i have a feeling that Pollard may not have the range to sing OIRS anymore. anyone gonna be at the Boston or NYC shows this weekend? i will be at both.

i like the cover of 'Jump' the best. Roddy seemed to run out of steam rather quickly, and the production of those two records hasn't aged well. I'd say that Pat Fish (aka The Jazz Butcher) and Lawrence (of Felt) were far better unheralded songwriters of that era.

i spent 3 weeks there on my honeymoon in '95, one on the north and two on the south. seemed like a good split. i personally wouldn't skip Dunedin, as i had an absolute blast down there...how could i not, hanging out @ the Empire and drinking beers w/ Peter Jefferies, Michael Morley, Alastair Galbraith, etc? a glacier hike and a milford sound trip are a must. i was blown away by coromandel too. didn't make it to rotorua; headed down the west coast via new plymouth (traded a bunch of records w/ Brian Wafer of Ima Hitt) and took the ferry from Wellington to Picton. Nelson was really great, and

i had no idea that Bar/None still operated.

the Drones as in the Australian band? i like them a lot.

damn! either i was already living in Dublin by then, or i was napping and totally missed out. where was it, at Harborlights? i like that band.

didn't see the show, but i've got a poster that says Elf Power opened for Wilco. i've personally only see Conor Oberst and Califone open shows (not counting Solid Sound). when did SY open for Wilco?

awful. recently i ran into billy at the superchunk show, and then later at the teenage fanclub show...he said he was gonna be in touch about something he could use a photographer for...i guess i'll never find out what he was planning. total force in the boston music scene, and truly one of a kind. gerard cosloy and others pay tribute: http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/remembering-the-human-tornado-that-was-billy-ruane

one of the main reasons i am bummed i never caught a Black Flag show when they were in their prime.

i saw Anal Cunt a few years ago but it was pretty lowkey. only time i've seen fire on stage was when Gibby dumped a third of a bottle of lighter fluid into an inverted cymbal, lit it, and hit it, sending the flames to the ceiling. this was a long time pre-Great White (probably 91 or so) but i was eyeing the exits in case i needed to use it. those two Butthole Surfers shows were also extremely warped, and menacing.

these not far enough off the track for you? hey aardvark gleemer some drilling implied quality of armor dodging invisible rays johnny appleseed a good flying bird jar of cardinals

for the audience, and performer (~0:49)...the greatest live band in the history of music. so glad i got to see 'em again last year.
