the human tunnel was pretty wacky.

Sunny Day Real Estate was absolutely fantastic last night. soooooo glad I drove down for that. they all seemed legitimately into the entire set and just playing 100% in every song. They seemed really humble and appreciative of the response they've gotten on this reunion tour.

I can't go, but if you haven't seen them, you should go. They fucking rule.

Also, MONOTONIX at the Pour House on the 15th. I think Ami might jump off the balcony this time.

10/8/2009 3:41:14 PM

^i'm pretty psyched. i saw them open for los campesinos! and they were super nice guys.

10/8/2009 6:05:44 PM

mars volta @ ritz/disco rodeo 10/23

I'm pretty sure i'm going to this, last american show this tour, walking distance from my apt

but.. i've seen this place and it looked pretty small? Anyone been to disco rodeo? Thoughts..

10/8/2009 6:07:44 PM

one of, if not the, worst venues in Raleigh

10/8/2009 6:20:00 PM

its not that small, but its also not a very good venue. I'd love to see them again, but not sure that I'm going to be back up in Raleigh that weekend.

10/8/2009 6:48:16 PM

Not small at all...holds something like 1200-1500. Sound isn't great.

Is that damn elevated dance floor still in there? The last time I was there was Pixies in '05.

10/9/2009 3:10:32 AM

I find out today if I get a Meet and Greet pass for the Metallica show next week. Any time between 9AM and 12PM PST.

10/9/2009 1:05:51 PM

Matt and Kim are surprisingly good live

10/17/2009 12:18:09 AM

Om fucking OWNED tonight.

Really glad I went.

10/17/2009 1:31:37 AM

atlas sound was really, really good. broadcast was surprisingly terrible.

10/17/2009 2:47:58 AM

i saw The Australian Pink Floyd Show tonight in Durham. sick show. i'm not even a huge pink floyd fan, but the show was great.

10/18/2009 12:33:56 AM

^I was wondering how good that show would be

and I know tons of people hate on Bassnectar, but he put on a SICK show at Cat's Cradle on Thursday. I've never danced so much in my life...

10/18/2009 3:07:21 AM

built to spill toniiiiiiiight

10/18/2009 12:05:04 PM

BUILT TO SPILL:

my girlfriend and I were out of town the last four days and are fucking exhausted.
we'll sell our two tickets to this show ($22 day-of) for half price. I'll even come drop em off.

Call me immediately at 919-395-9817, or drop a PM i suppose.

10/18/2009 3:31:19 PM

The Postmarks are playing a free show at Tir Na Nog Wednesday night.

10/26/2009 12:01:14 PM

10/28/2009 4:35:57 PM

Just saw Florence and the Machine in NYC last night. It was their first show on US soil.

Her voice is



Lead singer has a ton of energy and was really fun to watch.

If you like the album then definately check them out

10/28/2009 5:32:17 PM

Does anyone know of any good shows around the week of thanksgiving. finally going to be in town.

10/28/2009 5:55:57 PM

I saw Bomb The Music Industry and Defiance Ohio in Gainesville tonight.

[Edited on November 2, 2009 at 12:30 AM. Reason : .]

It's been 10 years since Something to Write Home About, today's music sucks, and apparently these dudes are ready to cash in on a reunion tour.

I will be there.

11/4/2009 9:49:42 PM

yeah

oddly enough, i cant get rid of my extra ticket for tguk tomorrow

11/4/2009 9:52:07 PM

Where is a cool place to drink within walking distance of Cat's Cradle? Preferably they will have TVs with the NFL games on . . .

11/5/2009 3:06:51 PM

^Tyler's Taproom is right down the street from the Cradle, and they have an excellent beer selection, good food and plenty of TVs.

11/5/2009 3:20:14 PM

No place that is cool is going to have NFL games on TV.

With that said, OCSC is cool. It's about a block down Main Street from CC.

Seriously? I'm pretty sure I've seen an NFL game on at the Times before, but regardless that's a pretty elitist/hipster-douchebag thing to say.

11/5/2009 3:26:21 PM

haha its ok i was expecting some backlash either from

1. I'm going to see Say Anything
2. I'm not hip enough to know the area around Cat's Cradle
3. I love the NFL

11/5/2009 3:30:06 PM

The Cat's Cradle has a back patio, an (albeit expensive) beer bar, and a big TV that is usually tuned to whatever sporting event is a big deal that night. I usually make a trip to Cat's Cradle a one-stop affair.

I've gotten a little overheated/claustrophobic ... it happens ... at some packed shows and ducked out for a second and blankly stared at that big projection screen.


((To argue, I work at Slim's and it will be turned to an NFL game on Sunday or Monday if one is on. Slim's counts as a cool bar. For Halloween, my buddy made a compilation DVD of horror movie kills to put on and some very cool people who would very much appreciate TROLL and HALLOWEEN 3 and face-melting asked for it to be switched back over to baseball.))

11/5/2009 3:51:56 PM

i have definitely watched an NFL game at the cradle before. but their beer is expensive, and cash only. Tyler's will probably have it on

11/5/2009 4:19:23 PM

I've been to the Cradle now maybe 4 times but I've never been out on the patio

yea I don't feel like paying cash and would rather go to somewhere more bar like before i head over

plus the doors open at like 7 or something i intend on starting drinking waaay earlier

once i get to the show i won't be watching tv anymore

[Edited on November 5, 2009 at 4:29 PM. Reason : .]

11/5/2009 4:24:36 PM

please note that i hate football and my comment reflects that attitude

with that said, i completely forgot there were TVs at slim's, and slim's is indeed cool
