I'm surprised they didnt play Paranoid Android at your show.

Zmev 06-24-2006 03:56 PM

Yeah, but at least we got Exit Music, There There was so tight.

ATM 06-24-2006 03:59 PM

Yea they played those at Bonnaroo, too.

Climbing Up the Walls was soo creepy live.

Kyle 06-24-2006 04:33 PM

I'm really suprised at lack of [I]The Bends [/I]Material, they were playing loads earlier in the tour. Cool set though.

Morning Bell is an awesome inclusion.

pikester 06-24-2006 11:19 PM

Hey look, I'm back. Awesome. Appearently I became elite while I was gone. Cool.

Zappa 06-25-2006 12:23 AM

Hey kids, it's siezure time.

FA 06-25-2006 12:39 AM

Someone get me a list of concerts this fall/winter. I'll be roadtripping all over then.

Kyle 06-25-2006 04:13 AM

Where abouts are you planning on going?

I think that's my favorite avatar that you've ever had Zappa.

ATM 06-25-2006 07:35 AM

Yea, that avatar is nice.

I wish I could have a bigger one so I could slow the lesbians down >:-[

dei 06-25-2006 08:39 AM

I like fast lesbians.

ATM 06-25-2006 08:43 AM

You ready for the game, dei?

dei 06-25-2006 08:45 AM

No. :o

If Netherlands don't win today, I will be crushed.

ATM 06-25-2006 08:47 AM

I wonder if Equador are going to put up a fight.

Netherlands will win, most likely :)

dei 06-25-2006 08:48 AM

No one I know thinks England is going to beat out Ecuador. I don't care about this game, but I think England can pull it off.

ATM 06-25-2006 08:50 AM

Wierd, the announcer just said Beckham might come to the MLS. I heard Ronaldo was thinking about it, too.

dei 06-25-2006 09:01 AM

I heard Ronaldo turned it down because they weren't offering enough money.

It would be nice to bring better players to the MLS because these teams are really bad. It's nowhere close to being a great league. But it's also a waste at the same time because there aren't a lot of football fans here in the United States. It's all about sports that no one else in the world cares about (basketball, baseball, and American football). Well, no one important.

Maybe this will change things.

ATM 06-25-2006 09:06 AM

Yea, I feel the same way.

It's so hard for americans to compete in the world cup because the level of competetion in the MLS is so low.

Bukowski 06-25-2006 11:45 AM

Well, America is certainly a better team now than they were 10 years ago. If football keeps progressing and gets more and more popular over there, then in another 10 years America should have a very good team.

They certainly have potential, and so does China, Japan, Korea, Australia and also countries from Africa. If these countries keep progressing and getting more and more into football, then future world cups should be amazing.

By contrast, football in Scotland is heading the opposite direction...there are less and less good players coming through, there's nowhere for us to play because all the parks are wet and full of glass, and over half the teams in our top 4 divisions are on the verge of bankruptancy. I play for an under-18 team, and the league we were in just got cancelled due to lack of interest. It sucks.

Kyle 06-25-2006 11:56 AM

Yeah, it's a shame. I used to look forward to the old England Vs. Scotland tustles, but it would be a formality now. In saying that England were apalling today.

pulseczar 06-25-2006 12:07 PM

I really thought Costa Rica were gonna make it this time :(

Zappa 06-25-2006 12:09 PM

If you made that avatar, pulse, you're amazing.

ATM 06-25-2006 01:58 PM

Woah that is a nice avatar.

pulseczar 06-25-2006 02:07 PM

Now if I could get two lesbians making out with him, it'd really be perfect.

ATM 06-25-2006 02:09 PM

We need to collaborate.

My first show in Canada was a success.

The first band who came up was Raising the Fawn, who I wasn't too fond of. Their vocalist sounded so generic and their music is sort of a shoegaze-inspired U2-ish rock but with very little passion. My friends didn't like them either so we passed the time by playing cards in the grass.

After their set we managed to get closer to the stage, to see J Mascis play with members of Broken Social Scene (there were 2 drummers playing at the same time during the whole set). They played a couple of songs from [I]Bug[/I] and [I]You're Living All Over Me[/I] as well as some others that I'm not familiar with. Two members of Do Make Say Think joined the group in one song, as well as Feist singing with J and BSS's vocalist. It kind of sucked that only a couple of kids in the crowd were into it, but that set still blew me away.

Next up was Feist, who was down with the flu, or so she says. When she performed her first song all the females in the crowd rushed up to her in front of the stage, which I thought was pretty funny. I haven't really listened to a lot of her songs so I was only able to recognize "Gatekeeper" (some guy passed out, fell on my friend, and seizured during this song, possibly from too much weed) and the increasingly popular "Mushaboom" but overall hers was a pretty solid set.

Bloc Party went up next, the crowd went wild. They played most of their album (I'm guessing) and a new song. Surprisingly they put up a solid performance, especially on "Like Eating Glass", even though I wasn't really a big fan of theirs. My friends wanted to leave at this point but I convinced them to stay for half the set (thankfully) of the next band..

..Which was Broken Social Scene. The 40 minutes it took them setting up felt like a month, but it was worth it. The band started off with a post-rocky build up (some band members coming in and out of the stage) to make way for "7/4 (Shoreline)". It was a pretty sketchy start due to some technical issues but the crowd went absolutely wild at the part with the horns. They followed that up with "Cause = Time" and a couple more from [I]You Forgot it in People[/I] and the s/t. I wanted to stay until the end but some of my friends had to leave early, so we inched our way out of the crowd before I could see "Hotel", "Swimmers" or Emily Haines.. but all in all it was a wonderful show. Ok I will stop now

Robert Crumb 06-25-2006 03:34 PM

Pretty awesome Happy, sounds like a good time. BSS played a fantastic show when I saw them and they're playing about an hour away this summer with Bloc Party and Mew. I kinda want to go but I'm gonna be pretty strapped financially. :angry:

Zmev 06-25-2006 03:54 PM

And with Two Gallants.

I'm not going to that show though.

Kyle 06-25-2006 04:24 PM

I'm gonna see BSS at Reading.

I Was A Kaleidoscope 06-25-2006 04:42 PM

I want to see BSS but they're yet another band that has skipped this ****ty city
