^^ will this be your first future islands/dan deacon show?

4/2/2009 5:48:46 PM

4/2/2009 5:51:14 PM

i just had a conversation with my roommate debating on whether we wanted to stay on the floor or go on stage

i was wondering when they'd announce the locations

4/3/2009 1:12:27 PM

no arcade fire = dealbreaker

4/3/2009 1:18:47 PM

I wouldn't rule it out quite yet.

4/3/2009 1:22:54 PM

How did I miss that Fleetwood Mac are playing in Greensboro and doing Rumours start to finish?

4/3/2009 3:11:44 PM

I didn't realize they were doing Rumors straight through. My parents are going to both shows in NC but the fact that they are performing that album will send them through the roof.

4/3/2009 5:49:29 PM

^ that's what I had heard when I posted that.

When I googled their setlist, though, it doesn't look like they're doing that. They are playing stuff mostly from Rumours, Tusk, etc.

Here was one from the 21st:

Quote :

"Monday Morning (from Fleetwood Mac, 1975) The Chain (from Rumours, 1977) Dreams (from Rumours, 1977) I Know I'm Not Wrong (from Tusk, 1979) Gypsy (from Mirage, 1982) Go Insane (from Lindsey’s Go Insane, 1984) Rhiannon (from Fleetwood Mac, 1975) Second Hand News (from Rumours, 1977) Tusk (from Tusk, 1979) Sara (from Tusk, 1979) Big Love (from Tango In the Night, 1987) Landslide (from Fleetwood Mac, 1975) Never Going Back Again (from Rumours, 1977) Storms (from Tusk, 1979) Say You Love Me(from Fleetwood Mac, 1975) Gold Dust Woman (from Rumours, 1977) Oh Well (from Then Play On, 1969) I'm So Afraid (from Fleetwood Mac, 1975) Stand Back (from Stevie’s The Wild Heart, 1983) Go Your Own Way (from Rumours, 1977) World Turning (from Fleetwood Mac, 1975) Don't Stop (from Rumours, 1977) Silver Springs (Rumours outtake) http://blogs.tampabay.com/80s/2009/03/fleetwood-mac-setlist-for-2009-tour-revealed.html "

anyone going to vivian girls tomorrow night?

4/4/2009 11:55:20 AM

vivian girls was pretty good--i expected them to suck, but they didn't. the guitarist is SUPER fucking cute. i wish i had stuck around to talk to them :|

4/5/2009 11:00:21 PM

I had heard awful things about their live shows, but that was really fun and awesome.

4/5/2009 11:23:48 PM

I have back stage passes to meet The Decemberists! Woot!

4/6/2009 1:11:50 PM

I'd rather meet Shara Worden.

4/6/2009 2:33:45 PM

i've always wondered how a pre-ordained meeting like ^^ wouldn't be awkward as hell. like the first awkward minutes of a blind date.

4/6/2009 3:04:42 PM

and thanks to absolutely shitty weather in boone/the roads to asheville today/tonight, i won't be able to make it to future islands/dan deacon

4/6/2009 3:27:33 PM

usually not a big deal from past experience --- thank 'em for their music, get a picture, let them get back to their thing while you hang out and have a few beers and mingle around.

lol, i'm just excited because i really like these guys, ignore me

4/6/2009 3:55:09 PM

i thought about hollerin' at some of the vivian girls, but i am way too shy for that.

Another band from yesteryear (or decade), has been added to the Raleigh Downtown Live lineup ... The Tubes.

http://music.mync.com/2009/04/the-tubes-added-to-downtown-live-lineup/

At least they've got Joan Jett coming ...

4/7/2009 5:36:06 PM

4/7/2009 8:57:27 PM

I think they played:

lucky denver mint
crush
blister
just watch the fireworks
for me this is heaven
goodbye sky harbor (full version)

in that order I believe. Was a fun thing to relax to tonight.

4/7/2009 9:58:27 PM

^damn, wish i saw this earlier.


my next two shows are:

The Brewery Saturday April 11
Greeley Estates
IWrestedABearOnce

4/7/2009 11:30:21 PM

neko case / crooked fingers were really good.

4/7/2009 11:42:23 PM

Just bought 4 pit tickets to the Metallica show in Charlottesville, VA in Oct

4/8/2009 10:46:08 AM

^^ Neko was great, Crooked Fingers weren't really my cup of tea, but wtf was up with that crowd? Buncha psychos.

4/8/2009 10:55:30 AM

i wish that crooked fingers had played more (read: anything) off their first album. i assume it was because the lineup of the band was completely different then.

4/8/2009 11:07:51 AM

Digable Planets were at the Cradle tomorrow night, but it was cancelled.

These are the four on my schedule right now, more may arise:

Mogwai - April 24, Cradle
Mastodon/Kylesa/Intronaut - May 13, Cradle
ISIS!!!!! - May 29, Cradle
Meat Puppets - June 14, Cradle

4/9/2009 9:00:28 PM

4/11/2009 7:40:28 PM

Aerosmith and ZZ Top are coming to Raleigh July 7. More than likely it'll be at Walnut Creek.

4/13/2009 4:51:29 PM

Of Montreal was crazy, they had some really weird stage performers

4/14/2009 1:34:54 PM

311 was so money at HOB last night

4/23/2009 8:46:47 AM

Holy shit... has everyone seen Sir Paul's setlist and performance at Coachella last week?

I would've given an arm to have witnessed that. I hadn't paid much attention to the Coachella acts since I wouldn't be able to go and had no idea he was playing.

4/24/2009 6:41:38 PM

The National show is sold out now. I'm dreading having to go early to suffer through Colin Stetson.
