Somehow I missed this.

I don't really like Destroyer, either.

I'm almost ashamed that my second favorite song on the latest New Pornos record is a Bejar song.

Nor do I.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen this site before, but I've spent the afternoon catching up on videos I've missed and need to re-iterate how awesome it is: Takeaway Shows - http://www.blogotheque.net/cae_tous_les_concerts_en.php3

23 MAY - Washington, DC - Black Cat
24 MAY - Asheville, NC - Grey Eagle Tavern
25 MAY - Atlanta, GA - Drunken Unicorn

2/6/2008 4:50:44 PM

Wait, wait. WAIT.

A tavern?

Are they just going for animal-themed venues?

2/6/2008 4:52:47 PM

^^^ i'm pretty sure tickets for her last tour were going for more than that and she's getting a whole hell of a lot more buzz now than she was then

i was expecting them to be $35 or more

2/6/2008 4:54:48 PM

oh.

I wasnt aware of her historical ticket prices.

i saw her at a festival once, but never headlining.

man, and i posted the smz thing like 3 weeks ago and no one said anything

2/6/2008 4:57:00 PM

^^^i dunno, but i just bought a ticket to the asheville show. we should carpool

if you look closely in the takeaway show for Beirut, you can see Will Sheff (<3) playing guitar!

2/6/2008 6:21:56 PM

I wondered where he was because I saw that he was thanked in the end credits. There is an Okkervil River one on there as well. The Architecture in Helsinki one may be the most fun, and Vampire Weekend is pretty great as well.

2/6/2008 6:42:07 PM

Coming up for me!:

03-17 - Tilly And The Wall - 506
04-21 - Cloud Cult - 506
04-27 - Destroyer - CC
05-24 - Silver Mt. Zion - GE

I really want to make that Silver Mt. Zion show. My moms been to that place numerous times to see bands play. If I remember right Hold Steady and Explosions played there last year too.

2/7/2008 1:10:04 AM

damn i hadnt seen that cloud cult was coming to local 506

i'll have to add that to that week of shows along with feist and tapes 'n tapes

2/7/2008 2:05:38 AM

Who's playing with TnT?

2/7/2008 2:30:22 AM

white denim

2/7/2008 1:33:34 PM

I'll have to think about that show. I went to last years Tnt/Annuals show as well and I enjoyed it but it wasn't anything amazing. I'll have to hear the new CD before I can decide.

2/7/2008 1:43:01 PM

British Sea Power/Rosebuds 5-6 @ Cat's

[Edited on February 12, 2008 at 8:50 PM. Reason : .. ]

2/12/2008 8:49:14 PM

2/13/2008 12:43:11 AM

02-29-08 - the spinto band - duke coffeehouse

2/13/2008 9:03:17 AM

I'll probably hit up that BSP show. I loved Open Season but haven't had a chance to listen to their latest. I might pop it in today.

2/13/2008 9:28:21 AM

is anyone going to see Black Mountain and Blood on the Wall in asheville this weekend?

2/13/2008 12:41:13 PM

^^i saw bsp a couple years ago at cat's cradle and it was really boring, fwiw

2/13/2008 1:21:01 PM

really? I can't say I'm surprised though. If I go I'll just sit in the back or on the side.

2/13/2008 2:26:40 PM

Concert Schedule:
March 17 - Tilly and the Wall - 506

2/14/2008 12:29:23 PM

for being poor and missing radiohead

[Edited on February 14, 2008 at 1:04 PM. Reason : booo]

2/14/2008 1:03:55 PM

Whoa.... British Sea Power and the Rosebuds together at the Cradle?

Holy hell.

2/15/2008 11:28:53 AM

not to rain on the collective parade of that show again. but the rosebuds weren't that great live either when i saw them last.

2/15/2008 11:35:48 AM

^ were you at the last show they played at the Cradle about a month back?

I sensed a lack of energy at that show, too...

Although, the Cradle crowds have been so lame the last couple of years, I can hardly blame a band for underperforming. It seems like a lot of people stand there like mute zombies and expect to be entertained.

2/15/2008 11:41:01 AM

at least the mute zombie ones don't drunkenly flair their arms into me, spilling beer all over my shirt

the best crowd I've ever seen there was for Tilly and the Wall and Pony up! last year, everyone was cheering and having a grand old time

[Edited on February 15, 2008 at 12:44 PM. Reason : .]

2/15/2008 12:43:26 PM

^^nah. it was about a year ago i guess

Good point...

I like a happy medium, myself.

Also, I'm not one to talk. When I went to see The National, I was one of the mute zombies in the back, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

I like to say I was just "in awe". haha

2/15/2008 1:03:28 PM

Monday February 18: Bon Iver w/ Megafaun at Local 506
Sunday April 27: Destroyer at CC

2/15/2008 1:45:23 PM

I've never listened to anything by Silver Mt. Zion--- should I?

2/15/2008 2:08:26 PM

YES

[Edited on February 15, 2008 at 2:11 PM. Reason : and with that thought i'll put on "horses in the sky" right now]

2/15/2008 2:10:55 PM

I need to see if I can make that Silver Mt. Zion show. I keep forgetting about it.

2/15/2008 3:00:29 PM

^^^ YES.

2/15/2008 11:03:08 PM

bought my radiohead tix for charlotte this morning

black mountain: good

blood on the wall: TOTALLY SICK.

2/17/2008 7:31:52 PM

Megafaun and Bon Iver tonight!

I hope to make it... depends on if I can rally someone to head out there, lol. I really want to see Bon Iver--- this record is fantastic.

2/18/2008 3:40:07 PM

the megafaun album is way better in my opinion

2/18/2008 4:33:11 PM

I have Bury the Square, but have yet to listen to it. I've just had so much other stuff on my plate, and when I saw "6 tracks/40 minutes", I was scared, haha.

I have heard nothing but good things about that record.

2/18/2008 5:26:52 PM

anyone else see bon iver last night? thought it was a pretty good show and crowd. played the new album track by track.

2/19/2008 8:12:09 PM

Oh snap! Kate Nash is gonna be at Orange Peel on April 16th!

Why does it have to be a Wednesday?!?!?!

2/19/2008 9:31:22 PM

^^yeah i was hoping justin would call up phil, brad and joe to play an old deyarmond song. too bad. but both bands were good. i just like megafaun better.
