Funny picture from NME of bands before they were big look at this Radiohead pic from 1985 http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=1&title=lols_pictures_of_bands_before_they_were_&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I like soundtrack better then the other 4 loved their live show gutted they split up

I hear ya on the buffet! I actually will be spending my first night in Cheboygan enroute to Mackinac so ill let you know if I see the crucifix!

I will have not only my 1 year old son with me but the wife and in-laws naw im kidding there not bad

I get they can be polarizing...I would however recommend their first two albums (Self Titled and Lincoln) for a newbie. Drum machines, accordian and quirky lyrics. I have never heard another band that sounded like them from 1983 til 1987. If you want more of a full band sound John Henry is great and it is a more developed sound. If you are into educational music they have a few albums with really smart lyrics geared toards the kids but still worth a listen.

ahh yes def in the plans! Anyone eat at the Grand Hotel...worth the $40 for the buffet?

Hey will be heading to Traverse City and Mackinac Island in June...anyone have any must see sights? Planning Sleeping Bear and Wineries...otherwise don't have many things planned.. PS I guess I will be filling out tax returns on a private beach in Michigan if nothing else.

ahh nice shoutout! Glad you had fun...you peps on the Southern Hemisphere deserve some good live shows once in awhile even though you are so damn far away! Rock on!

Del Amitri Twisted! Good album.. love "Start with Me" and "Tell Her This! Del is very underrated. Justin Currie is a great pop song writter

That is a nice setlist!

Hell froze over!

Good band!

Hey Froggie enjoy the show? Glad Wilco is down in your neck of the woods!

Odd comment about Springsteen. I am sure Springsteen pays (or puts it in his contract) to extend the cerfew, no? nice that Shouldn't Be Ashamed is back!

Coldplay is the poor mans U2! Muse is the poor mans Radiohead!

Son Volt 2.0 is the poor mans Son Volt 1.0? I actually like both but you can't compete with the original group

Best paid fanclub was REM. for $10 got a holiday card, free vinyl/cd single of unreleased stuff an prioirty tickets. I scored a pair in the first row, fourth row, and eight row the three times I took advantage and too boot the tickets had less fees then TM!

ironic because tickets this summer for BNL are $100. TMBG tickets never pass $35ish

Last holdouts are Springsteen top us tickets are around $100 and Phish never over $60/70...

I wonder if it is the promoter or the artist that push these vip things?

Just scored tickets for the last night at the Beacon...no fan club or other bs needed...anyone going to Beacon?

Awesome! I visited your lovely country two years ago and drove 1000 km between the north and South Island! Where you coming from? Enjoy the show! Glen is great! Back on topic.. I saw they might be giants last night! Anyone else a fan?

I'm going to add Elliott Smith too. Maybe he wasn't the most technical but you can tell an Elliott song by his style...his tone really set the songs

Bill Berry Phil Selway Jon Fishman Max Weinberg Joey Warnoker Dave Ghrol Brian Rosenworsel He beats the crap out of the bongos and plays the cymbols with his hands?! OUCH! Glenn of course Billy Martin
