I’m gutted. Today my wife’s cousin commited suicide. We just saw him Sunday. We had a great weekend together. He was having financial issues but otherwise was his old happy self. It’s devistating and I keep replaying the weekend over in my head.

Looking for a new stereo system that I can hook my record player up to. Any recommendations I’m Thinking of spending up to $1k

Was looking to go somewhere over Labor Day drivable from me and am thinking Ottawa. Anyone been? Fun city? Stuff to do? I’ll prob be going with my 6 year old son.

Yeah it was real nice! He played lots of FOW songs including the b side I’ll do the driving one of my favs. Got to talk to him a bit after the show too it was a great time! I put up the setlist in setlist.fmHere’s a vid I shot

Look Park (Chris Collingwood from Fountains of Wayne) house concert

Congrats!

Decemberists

Good luck!

Yeah Petty didn’t switch it up too much. I did see him at the Beacon Theater where he veered off the setlist some which was great! Southern Accents, Girl on LSD, Time to Move On, Honey Bee and Cabin Down Bellow which I requested to Tom before the show!!

Was front for the last two shows

as long as I hear that someday live I’ll be satisfied!

Speaking of U2 saw them twice this tour left first show a little early to catch a train and had no problem doing so because I’d know I hear what I missed at the next show lol

Good point too

lol

Good point my biggest complaint with Morrissey, Depeche Mode and Duran Duran live shows

Yes on a rug but what about from backstage to the rug or in between?

Yeah can definitely tell before hand. I had saw toad last night different leg of tour. Set were deferent in beginning of leg then they reverted back to the old setlist of course after I bought my ticket! Anyway another set of examples I like Depeche Mode and Matthew Sweet but I know they keep the same set the whole tour so I only see them once. If they changed 2 to 3 songs a show I’d probably see 3 or more. On another note Springsteen seen him tons he always mixed it up but the broadway show he doesn’t. Same set every night and I heard ever song he’s playing on broadway except one so I’m not r

This week I saw two concerts where the lead singers were barefoot. Toad the Wet Sprocket and God Street Wine. I find it kinda weird and gross especially on a stage floor..think of all the glass, spilled things and sweat on the floor yuck. Anyway I degress any others you can think of who do this? David Bryne, Tame Impala andChris Robinson from the Black Crowes come to mind. I wonder if these folks put on shoes when they leave the stage?? Sorry for the odd random thoughts I’m in a silly mood today!

I usually catch the bands I really like 2 to 3 times a tour. I usually get frustrated when a band plays an identical setlist within a multi night run or plays the same set on a different leg of a tour. Would it bother you to hear the same set twice? To me it makes it worth it if I hear a handful of different songs between the shows. If it’s identical I usually find the second show to be a waste of a night out. Not sure if I am overly critical but I like catching unique shows. Any personal preferences?

Toad The Wet Sprocket

Ash is a great pop/punk band. Sloan is good too as mentioned

Gd street wine

Nice! I’m still super bummed I didn’t get Blow Out

I ended up seeing three as well
