    Someone brought up the point of the guys playing for like 2-2 and 1/2 hours a night. That's a long ass time to be on stage. Id say to be able to get 6 guys to play for that long and to be able to play each song super-frigging tight you need to keep things somewhat similar. These guys can't be expected to memorize 60-70 songs and change the set list dramatically every night. Then they'd get sloppy and people would probably bitch about how sloppy they're playing.

     

    So, let em do their thing. The 2 times I've seen them in the past year it has been incredible. Im not complaining.

     

    on Pearl Jam's NA tour this year they played over 90 of their own tunes, and a couple dozen different covers... if you count songs that get partially tagged onto Daughter it was over 125.

     

    On last year's Canadian tour, that was only 16 dates, they did 97 unique songs.

     

    For the record, I'm perfectly happy with any Wilco performance I get to see, but knowing how to play what seems like a huge amount of songs isn't necessarily an impossibility.

    the new one is a bit meh... although the last one was a bit meh.

     

    regardless, Madonna and Source Tags are still awesome, and they'll still probably be freakishly good live.

     

    maybe Jason was conserving his energy for the tour.

    Seoul is within artillery range of the border.

     

    i was assuming theyll be making warheads, but i spose your correct, that they could make nuclear artillery shells... at any rate, he's safe from N.Korean nukes in N. America

    only a Torontonian would desecrate our pretty flag with that filth. :cheekkiss

     

    Even though we lost to the Avs last night, I'm pretty amped on a 2-1-0 start for the 'nucks... and you can keep Bert, we'll gladly take Luongo. I don't think he's actually a man, but in fact, a robot sent from the future to stop pucks that are labeled as sure goals.

    Some days i feel like not being in the middle of a major metropolitan area.

     

    i wouldn't worry too much, unless your major metropolitan area is Seoul or Tokyo... even then, there's probably a good chance that their shitty missiles will fail before they reach their target.

    Califone - Coming to your town

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I will fully admit to listening to this because PFork gave it the blessed "best new music" tag... and because the description seemed right up my alley...

     

    but here is my dilemna:

    I currently have 1 ticket for Sufjan Stevens on the night Califone is in Vancouver...

    I have currently put out the feelers to try and find two tickets to Yo La Tengo the night Califone is in Vancouver...

     

    If I get a reviewer pass to YLT, I pretty much have to go there, but if not, would I kick myself forever for missing this? (I've seen Sufjan twice, for the record, and in retrospect, am not in love with his music or anything, although I'm sure it'll be a good show)
