bböp Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Didn't see these posted here yet. Not surprised at the venues based on how quickly stuff sold out last year in much smaller venues, but damn, they've gotten big fast. Guess that's what a show on HBO will do for you. (I'm happy for them that they're doing so well, though.) On a New York note, I'm sure they'll add another night at Radio City when the first one sells out. 4/06/09 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The Overture and Riverside are a far cry from a guest appearance at Largo, but I hope to make it to one of these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bböp Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 :/ Sorry, Kyle. I know you're a bit miffed at this whole phenomenon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamin' Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks, Paul. Too bad Kristen Schaal isn't opening in Vancouver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks, Paul. Too bad Kristen Schaal isn't opening in Vancouver. I know, she is totally awesome. Her standup, which I've gotten to see a couple times in various different incarnations, is really zany and hilarious.

TheMaker Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Still the funniest show on television by a landslide (with apologies to 30 Rock, which I also love). I'd definitely see one of the T.O. shows if Schall were opening, but I'm waffling at the mo'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 i do think Bowie is pretty funny, but that's about it. even that new video for Sugarlumps... only somewhat funny part is the Justin Timberlake cameo You don't even like "She's So Hot (Boom)? God I love that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnes Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ha, i didn't know they were an actual band, but i like and watch the show whenever i catch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilceaux Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You don't even like "She's So Hot (Boom)? God I love that song. I think Mother Uckers is still my favorite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poppydawn Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Inner Inner city. Inner city pressure. Inner city pressure I finally gave in and watched the first season two weeks ago. I didn't want to like them but dammit, I laughed my ass off. I'm surprised at how excited I am to see they're going to be in St. Louis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroCharlie Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The show is pretty good I have to say, but nothing gets ruined faster then all your classmates catching on to the joke 4 years after, and only because of youtube clips which they don't even know is from a show. They really deserve the fame though. But it's kind of like their ambiguity was part of their mystique, you know? But then I just became one of the crowd members crying sellout, aren't I?

solace Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 There really is nothing better then the *shrug* i have 2 friends who have a "hip hop" side project who do songs similar to that and i don't find them very funny either though, so maybe that's part of it.

They're playing the oddest venue here - the Arie Crown. I probably won't go. But I do love the show, and thought they were hilarious at Sasquatch last year. I'd never have guessed two dudes with acoustic guitars could have captivated a huge festival audience like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 One could say the same about Matt Ward... who has been releasing albums for over a decade now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tangara Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Who was a virtual unknown until his association with a certain Ms. Deschanel? Just sayin', is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Matt Ward was a virtual unknown? She & Him raised his profile that much? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
