street spirit

I finally got in and got two tix for Vancouver. I thought the site was going to bomb on me a couple of times. To be honest, even with the confirmation email, I'm sort of sketched out.

So, instead of having a system that's capable of handling load, they direct the load away from their actual ticket server with this waiting room page... real pro set-up. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss Ticketmaster.

There's no way it should cost $16 to ship one record to Canada via regular USPS service. Also, a fixie without toe clips?

Hey Via Chicago... long time, no see. Before the show, I was of the mind that I would have rather shelled out some cash to see Wilco with Wilco fans, but for a group of people that were probably mostly there just to be there, the crowd was wonderful and the atmosphere was great.

so... what do you all think? my brief summation is: awesome, as usual.

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great MIA w. Bun B and Rich Boy - Paper Planes (Street Mix) UGK feat. Outkast - Int'l Players Anthem Jim James & Calexico - Goin' to Acapulco (Dylan... obviously)

i only voted for Wendy's because of the appalling lack of a "Jack in the Box" option.

It's doubly shameful, because Liz and the guys are really sweet people.

MIA - Kala LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam Les Savy Fav - Let's Stay Friends Handsome Furs - Plague Park hon mentions: Spoon, Julie Doiron, Justice, Kanye, Radiohead, Marnie Stern, Menomena, Andrew Bird, Miracle Fortress, Feist I also hold out hope that my mind will change when Ghostface/Wu-Tang come out in December.

he's "liberal" - which is a misnomer the way it's used in America - who exactly are you going to vote for?... in fact, that's sort of his point. that the Republicans are evil but the Democrats have no backbone. you should be more angry about that than the fact that some guy on a message board used the word "pussy" and pointed out the obvious.

...except Cuba. sorry. i dig that your fine nation invented hip hop (amongst other things)

precisely what i was thinking. i keep reading rumblings about new, private trackers that are based on the oink code going live sometime next week.

Kid A is one of my absolute favourite records, but I'd still suggest OK Computer as a starting point.

I agree 100% with this statement. I think the Jim James/Calexico one is still my favourite though.

if it's public wouldn't it essentially be what the Pirate Bay is now?
