calvino Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 ^^ Me too. See you in the old fogie balcony! I'm heading to the Friday Chicago show too. Went for the old fogie seated balcony option...Guess we still young at heart - I still enjoy GA tickets when we have the opportunity. The stage at Thalia is at a decent height, too -- the few times I was there with my wife (who is on the short side) - she didn't have any issues seeing the stage.I have never sat up in the balcony, there, though. Glad the new record will be released prior to the tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best quote (in response to a question about whether or not they think about what the listeners will "use" the music for): KAPLAN: I think we mostly try, as best we can, to forget that anyone’s going to hear it.

calvino Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Have two tickets (GA-Floor) for tonight's Chicago gig - have to leave town, though. If anybody is interested, please shoot me a PM. Bummed that we have to miss it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 That's beautiful, but how's this for cognitive dissonance? As I'm watching a video clearly recorded by someone using their phone, I'm thinking, "Look at all the dicks, put your phones down and enjoy the moment!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I've finally gotten the new one. Gotta say, so far it's kind of B minus to me. Totally pleasant, kind of on the Brian Eno tip at times, just not as thrilling as all of the other releases I've picked up from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm getting there. That first instrumental has such a great mood and texture, then opening into Georgia singing "Painting my room to reflect my mood," over the vintage 60's vamp complete with tambourine. Pretty great.
