seriously, it's a bit of a ghost town in there. i'm sure plenty of people in /r/music would be into it if they knew it existed.

Fooling around with the website's search feature I found what appears to be the lineup with and without Sonic Youth. SPOILERS AHEAD:

nice find! that's awesome news.

Confirmed at the Magnuson in Williamstown. It's closer than Vermont so I'm happy.

Booya.

i'll definitely be at the philly show. i'm going to hit up the tin angel this week for tickets.

That's something I hadn't thought of, and it might well be true.

 

By the way, here's a compilation video of the Mel character on FOTC

 

hah. great clips. i haven't watched that in a while. i forgot that Mel's husband was Gale from Breaking Bad.

Mel would have been good, maybe, for introducing bands and comics. but i don't think i could watch her for an hour straight.

i only saw the end of John's set and all of Kristen's set. Were any of the others suitable for younger audiences?

Todd Barry might have been the most suitable for younger audiences, there was a 10 year old next to me cracking up the whole time during his set.

but no, no one else was. they should have had some signs up. not that i minded.

Will you please post a picture of the poster?

i was begging the woman behind the table for one of these posters. but she said there are going to be contests later to give them away.

The comedy was extremely crowded! I saw Hannibal Burress.

you saw the funniest act, in my opinion... and they were all hilarious, so that's saying a lot.

So... I'm back at work, but I left my Spirit somewhere in North Adams.

ohhh, so THAT'S what I was trying to say all day at work.

thanks for that.

I was lucky enough to get a photo pass for this past weekend and I will upload the photos when I have sorted through the thousands of pictures I took but I thought for now I would share this video from the Tweedy solo show. It is the full length opening song, Sunken Treasure in HD. (720p because that's all youtube would let me do, if anyone knows where I can upload the 1080p version I will upload it there)

beautiful video. i wish i took more - or any video. but i think vimeo accepts 1080p.

anyway, this is my first post here. thought i'd share a few of my pics:

not a great picture, but happy jeff.

favorite song of the weekend.

nels eyeballing me?

and the rest of the 100 or so that for the most part look like everyone elses, with a few exceptions:
