Hey Froggie...give me a lesson..what is up with the rivialry between in Australia and NZ? Is it all based on Rugby or is there another reason? NZ were talking lot of sh*t about Australia on my trip....just curious I am sure there is more to it but I am not big on Southern Hemisphere history, etc

Yikes...terrifying news from down under! Hope everyone is ok down there. The news hit me hard as I was in Christchurch just this past Saturday!!!! I recognized many of the places on the news today.

Friday show!

Sweet...you were at my first REM show June 23, 1995 MSG!

I have seen the stripes maybe 6 or 7 times since 2003. The last show I saw in CT on the last tour kind of was lukewarm for me. Something was certianly amiss. The last album I maybe listened to 3 or 4 times through and haven't really gone back. I do still have many fond memories of seeing them at Coney Island, Union Square and in Montreal..

I love the Stripes but kind of gave up on them recently. I find it weird they haven't done anything in what 3 years then now they announce they broke up? Why now?

Oye! On the last week of CBGB's existence something pretty cool happened to me. I walked by the door with a friend from out of town. Spoke to the guy at the door. I said I know this place won't exist in the next few days and I got a friend from out of town would you mind if we checked it out. He said no problem. So here I was me and my friend and we had CBGB's all to ourselves including the backstage and it was cool to soak it in be for demolition!

Elliott Smith

Yeah was a great show. I even snagged Mr. Olsons setlist after the show! The band sounded great! Crowd seemed to dig it. Some interesting songs after the Hollywood album were played. Only 2 complaints which are minor. Karens instruments need to be turned WAAAAY up! Also, was really, really hoping to hear some Bunkhouse as they played some in Toronto! Here is hoping for tonight!

I would have never guessed...Was one of my favorite shows of the year in 2009 when I saw them in NYC

That is funny...but how do the Editors go along with the theme? Is that really Bro rock?

Was at the NYC show and it was flippin' sweet! They did screw up the order and played Sick of Goodbye's in front of Sweet Potato and ommited the final part of Kerosene Hat when they sing about Sorbet head! Still an unbelievable show!

I can not wait...will be there both nights as well!

Wow this will be an expensive Jayhawks month. Going to both Webster Hall shows, buying reissue vinyl of HTH TTGG and I guess now both 2 cd sets!

It grew on me. Love King of Kings, Falling Star, Six Pack

Good news for Adam! http://www.popeater.com/2011/01/07/adam-yauch-beats-cancer/

http://www.popeater.com/2011/01/05/lost-numbers-lottery/ Crazy stuff!

Wow and I thought I went to a ton of shows this year... My top shows in no order Editors-Terminal 5 Wilco- Wellmont nights 1 and 2 Nada Surf (Performing Let Go and Weight as a Gift)-Bell House, Bowery Echo and The Bunnymen- Kenswick Theater Jonsi-Terminal 5 Arcade Fire-MSG The Charlatans UK-Maxwells LCD Soundsystem-Wellmont Foals-Music Hall of Williamsburg Jeff Tweedy-Bowery

Call me crazy but Pop I feel is very underated. I love Pop..just bought on LP in fact this month. It is a fun late night driving album. It is my 3rd fav after Achtung and Unforgettable Fire...Pop has unusual songs not replicated since by U2...I kind of lost interets with U2 after that but POP really stuck with me as it was a real grower and it was also the first time I saw U2 live and something just clicked!

All depends on airplay which is non existant these days....I guess that means the same one who bought Accelerate will buy this album...REM's popularity really has fallen off a cliff since 96-98 and I guess that is ok with me as long as they keep making albums and touring. Of course I wish them success but it would shock me if anyone notices the new album.

Everyone..."Listen, listen to the Auctioneer"! Can't wait...if you couldn't tell by my screen name!

Ahh that would make sense...in NJ now used to shop in Newbury when up in Mass..now use the.com...

Love Newbury! How does the sale work...is there a code or does it automatically come of at checkout? Thanks!

REM Radiohead Cure Blur/Gorillaz Charlatans UK Beck Medeski, Martin and Wood Cracker Springsteen Yay New Order! I would also give later Duran Duran a chance Astronaught and Pop Trash were good albums!
