it'll be my third flaming lips show, and third eits show too

flaming lips is always a ton of fun live

although im kinda concerned about how eits will come off prior to sunset, outside, in a larger venue

last time i saw them right after "all of a sudden i miss everyone" came out, and they played this moderately small venue in philadelphia and completely melted my face...

idk, i saw mogwai outside a few weeks ago during the day and it was good

i must admit though, post-rock and bluegrass are about all i listen to these days (dont ask, i have no idea how it happened)

8/25/2009 9:25:26 AM

I saw EITS mid-day at Lollapalooza last year. Hands-down the best show of the 3 I've seen them play.

8/25/2009 10:02:53 AM

8/25/2009 10:35:57 AM

Oh lord.

Please keep in mind that the last time Felix the Drum Machine appeared in public, I was 18.

As such, anything you read by or about Felix the Drum Machine was written by someone 18 or younger.

Oh I figured it was super [old].

Wish I was going to be in NC on the 23rd.

8/30/2009 12:38:29 PM

rainout at flaming lips last night

eits was awesome

the half a set that fl got in was of course amazing

during the rain delay before the venue shut it down wayne kept the audience entertained by hamster ballin' around the crowd, that was nice.

pretty upsetting, first time i had been like, 3 people deep for FL and only got half a set in before an epic downpour/lightening storm.

8/30/2009 12:42:00 PM

EAR PWR at the nightlight tonight.

9/8/2009 3:33:27 AM

^^ i finally listened to that since people have been calling about tickets all week (i guess it's sold out) and i'd never heard of him

seriously terrible stuff. it's like the Christian version of Postal Service but gayer

9/8/2009 6:01:09 PM

thinking about going to fruit bats this thursday. the new album is actually quite good.

9/8/2009 6:15:51 PM

^^

9/8/2009 8:16:38 PM

WTF

9/8/2009 8:46:55 PM

he just blew up on SIRIUS Alt Nation, I'm guessing that's it

I went on a road trip 2 weeks ago and they repeated his single like every hour. I kinda dug it, escp. for $12. But I wouldn't pay more than that

9/9/2009 5:55:30 AM

So I saw Springsteen last night.

"September 13 / Bank Atlantic Center / Ft. Lauderdale, FL Notes: Atrocious weather soaked many fans to the bone and wrought some havoc with the floor entry... good thing the tour moved indoors beginning with this Ft. Lauderdale show. Inside the arena, it was all Florida sunshine courtesy of a jubliant Bruce. "Florida," he said, "it's where people from New Jersey go when they get in trouble Everybody knows that. That's how half of you folks got here — ask your mom and pop!" With Bruce's voice back in shape already (heck, it got there halfway through the Tampa show the night before), this was a fun, energetic show with a number of curveballs. Some of them made for unusual pacing and rocky transitions — an audibled "Cover Me" early on, "Out in the Street" following "Outlaw Pete," "Johnny 99" into "Factory." "Factory" was beautiful nonetheless, a spare version beginning with just Bruce on harmonica, the rest of the band eventually filling in. "Sherry Darling" by request came before the request-portion-proper, and brought all three accordionists down front... eventually. When Nils needed a little extra time to get strapped in, Bruce asked Charlie and Roy to vamp a bit: "We have to take a little break... A little break music!" "Lady of Spain" first, then "Hava Nagila" before the trio was set for "Sherry." "We don't have the big stage," said Bruce, "but you're not gonna see this at the U2 show!" A great sign request trio began with "Be True," into "Cadillac Ranch" and the very rare "So Young and in Love" (previously played just once on this tour, part of the Dropkick Murphys guest spot in Boston in April). A bit rough as they remembered how to start, but they worked it out for a show highlight. Another high point of the night was a not-so-unusual song, but an unusually fine performance of it: a phenomenal "Backstreets," one of the best in recent memory, as Bruce stretched out the middle portion with ethereal moaning and lots of "until the end"s. Another request followed, "Radio Nowhere" by request for somebody's ex-girlfriend (and notable for having Max on the kit rather than his son—as in Tampa, Max held down the beat all night). Leading off the encore was another request, a favorite last played in St. Louis at the end of the Magic tour: "Then She Kissed Me." We wouldn't be surprised if the request/performance was inspired by the recent death of songwriter Ellie Greenwich, though Bruce didn't mention her; he did say, "I think we opened up our show in 1975 at the Bottom Line with this one." A classic cover, always welcome. Before "Hard Times" Bruce called for "health care for every American." Four young kids, two boys and two girls, were brought up onstage for "Dancing in the Dark," and one of the girls got a harmonica to remember it by. Finally, the show closed, as in Tampa, with "Thunder Road." On the setlist but not played: "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City," "Atlantic City." Setlist: Working on the Highway Badlands Night Cover Me Outlaw Pete Out in the Street Working on a Dream Sherry Darling Seeds Johnny 99 Factory Raise Your Hand (instrumental) Be True Cadillac Ranch So Young and in Love Waitin' on a Sunny Day The Promised Land Backstreets Radio Nowhere Lonesome Day The Rising Born to Run * * * Then She Kissed Me Jungleland Hard Times American Land Dancing in the Dark Thunder Road"

9/14/2009 8:26:36 PM

definitely going to that show tonight. liked what i've heard of motor skills and telekinesis is pretty good even if they're a little bland

9/14/2009 8:28:01 PM

heading to Mike Gordon at Lincoln...

9/14/2009 8:33:35 PM

the only recording i've heard is the single, and the production is a little smooth for me, but live it was great, lots of energy

who is mike gordon

9/14/2009 8:37:42 PM

^see their screen name for your answer.

9/14/2009 8:44:11 PM

Telekinesis! fucking just owned. If you were not there I personally apologize. Pretty sure I was rocking out beside vinylbandit for a hot minute.

9/15/2009 12:54:18 AM

Mike Gordon killed it last night I thought.....hey phishbfm you know a place to find the set?

9/15/2009 11:17:23 AM

Hahaha, that was a great show, and I bought their cd

I think I might go see Motorskills, the opening band from last night, play with Dan Deacon at the Cat's Cradle on Oct 1st.

and I want to see Ra Ra Riot on September 30th, but I'm not sure yet

and I'm really on the fence about Built to Spill on October 18th. Love them live until they get jam bandy and then I get bored.

9/15/2009 3:08:07 PM

I will more than likely be at Dan Deacon

9/15/2009 3:23:50 PM

i will definitely be at dan deacon

i will definitely be at built to spill

9/15/2009 3:26:31 PM

^^^Hah nice I think I saw you filming that.....was standing just to the right. Pretty decent video quality

9/15/2009 3:26:48 PM

^^^^They are at The Pour House on 10/3 if you prefer to stay in Raleigh. I'd be interested in seeing the video (especially when the synth broke) if you feel like sharing.

Go for whatever reason you wish, but have your life forever changed Oct. 1 by Nuclear Power Pants

9/16/2009 11:12:19 AM

^^ awesome, thanks!

I would prefer to stay in Raleigh. I've also heard rumors that Dan Deacon sets up in the middle of the crowd and forces people to dance, I'm not sure how I feel about that.

haha, I think bassjunkie missed an arrow, no videos here but I loved motorskill's stage banter

9/16/2009 12:13:47 PM

^its a waste of time if you aren't dancing.

9/16/2009 12:17:08 PM

^^ of course he sets up his gear in the middle of everybody, it's awesome

how could you not want to dance at a dan deacon show???

9/16/2009 12:38:41 PM

oh, I definitely dance on my own, but I don't want to be forced into it

that being said I'll probably go just to see what's up
