4/28/2011 4:06:18 PM

i watched no fewer than seven tickets get sold to that shit while i was in the store today for maybe ten minutes total

do these people not know that general johnson is dead

4/28/2011 4:36:45 PM

when mike has spending money he's more likely to slip you a $20 or buy you lunch.

4/28/2011 4:43:02 PM

hasn't happened in at least 3 years

^Can you tell me (and this is a serious question) how Schoolkids' stock for last Tuesday compares to this list?

we have most of that stuff and a lot more than that

4/28/2011 7:18:32 PM

Cool. So you're saying you got a lot more in than that on Tuesday? I need to go to Schoolkids. Been hard to get to ever since I got out of college. Just looking for a "good" record store. I guess the "best in the area" essentially...

4/28/2011 8:47:21 PM

CD Alley is the best if I'm being honest

4/28/2011 8:57:13 PM

*record scratch*

4/28/2011 9:59:11 PM

slim's just released more tix to the love language residency
go buy them now
http://www.slimsraleigh.com

4/29/2011 2:46:36 PM

^Fuck yes doing so right now.

EDIT: Tryin to decide between Love Language with Shit Horse or Lonnie Walker. Seen LW twice and I love'em, but I like Shit Horse and have never gotten a chance to see them.

[Edited on April 29, 2011 at 3:39 PM. Reason : f]

4/29/2011 3:37:51 PM

those are both sold out

4/29/2011 3:42:14 PM

I wasn't even aware that it was possible to like Shit Horse without seeing them live

4/29/2011 3:48:10 PM

the only day of the entire residency i was going to be able to attend was Friday, so i was happy to get the word there were a handful back on the market.

i think there were between 15 and 20 re-released for that Friday show and that those shits were gone in 15 minutes.

4/29/2011 4:05:32 PM

thursday is gonna be super hype, and not just because of shit horse

thursday's set is extra special

4/29/2011 4:09:21 PM

Heavy metal house show tonight anyone going?

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

4/29/2011 4:12:39 PM

stu, missy thangs, and one of the other dudes in LL whose name i don't know (i think it was nick) just came in the store and seemed super pumped to be back in raleigh. for some reason that made me really want to go to one of those shows; homecoming shows are fun.

[Edited on April 29, 2011 at 4:31 PM. Reason : s]

4/29/2011 4:29:52 PM

heard from a few people that smith westerns were great tonight...glad to hear it

maybe they just hated the chapel hill crowd that night, which is understandable since raleigh is infinitely cooler than chapel hill

[Edited on April 30, 2011 at 1:26 AM. Reason : .]

4/30/2011 1:21:32 AM

I thought Smith Westerns were great, I was also wasted though so that might have had something to do with it

4/30/2011 8:35:40 AM

being drunk is an excellent way of guaranteeing enjoyment at a show.

4/30/2011 9:37:59 AM

damnit.... had Smith Westerns at Kings and Ponderosa at Lincoln and i didn't go to either fucking one.

i'm just too damn old to properly binge drink two nights in a row these days. i found that out at Hopscotch last year.

4/30/2011 12:41:26 PM

Washed Out and Madlib at the Orange Peel this weekend suuuuuucked.

5/1/2011 9:52:14 PM

Anyone have extra tickets to the Weds love language show? looking for 2. Or could we just use someone's 4 day passes?

5/2/2011 12:29:52 PM

Going to interpol tomorrow night

5/2/2011 11:23:34 PM

death cab tickets presale code is "crooked"

you have 4 more days to contemplate whether its worth $40 before tickets go public.

5/3/2011 1:39:38 PM

^^ have fun watching a band that doesn't really care anymore

(says the guy who is currently wearing an Interpol shirt and lists their show in Asheville in 04 as one of his favorite shows ever )

5/3/2011 1:43:31 PM

oh boy i have VIP to deathcab. am i hipster yet?

5/3/2011 2:04:35 PM

nope, just a pussy

5/3/2011 2:16:34 PM

yeah, the only hip thing about death cab is their name

and only because it was appropriated from a much cooler band

5/3/2011 2:29:06 PM

Also looking forward to Interpol, despite the venue (have an extra ticket that I'll let go for a few bucks below face if anyone wants it)

May go see Wintersleep Saturday at Kings...I dig some of their stuff but curious how it will translate live.

[Edited on May 3, 2011 at 3:41 PM. Reason : .]

5/3/2011 3:40:58 PM

oh. theyre too big to be hipster.

now, if they were playing at slim's or king's, it'd be hipster as all hell.

btw, free tickets. i honestly dont care about them.

5/3/2011 4:10:12 PM

Neko Case is in Charlotte on May 19.

5/3/2011 4:10:51 PM

^^ I'd love to see Frightened Rabbit again, but I can take or leave Death Cab... In that case, I don't think it's worth $40 to see them (FR) as an opening act. They rocked Cats Cradle last year with Bad Veins and Maps & Atlases opening up for them, though.

Also, I was upset that Neko Case cancelled her show at the Art Museum last year. I was looking forward to that one, but she said she'd try to come back soon; maybe that's the Charlotte event

5/3/2011 4:20:34 PM

^^^
Really? PM sent...

5/3/2011 4:25:07 PM

^^She had a Charlotte show scheduled a day before the Art Museum last fall. Looks like Raleigh was left off in the rescheduling. Maybe they hadn't sold many tickets to that one last time...

5/3/2011 5:01:46 PM

her voice is probably the most amazing/biggest voice I have ever heard in person

it's insane

5/3/2011 5:13:35 PM

"oh boy i have VIP to deathcab. am i hipster yet?"

Maybe if you had those tickets 10 years ago

I honestly haven't really enjoyed Death Cab since Trans. Last time I saw them with Stars though was a pretty good show. (2005?) but I really have no inclination to see them again.

5/3/2011 5:22:26 PM

no way neko case didn't sell a lot of tickets to a show in raleigh. raleigh eats up those female alt-country singers (case, alison krauss, lucinda williams, etc.). at least from my experiences working at schoolkids; that kind of artist sells pretty well, especially neko case.

[Edited on May 3, 2011 at 5:31 PM. Reason : .]

5/3/2011 5:29:45 PM

haha

i meant the tickets were free for me. all you kids trying to scoop up free tickets!

5/4/2011 10:04:56 AM

i ran into BATTLES in O'Hare on Sunday and i met John Stanier

5/4/2011 12:02:37 PM

"have fun watching a band that doesn't really care anymore"

I liked it...although not NEARLY as much as when they played with Blonde Redhead several years ago. Super long set with 4 encores...only complaint is they didn't play enough of Turn On the Bright Lights. Which I was expecting to an extent...but they didn't even play NYC

5/5/2011 7:23:56 AM

oh no

are you referring to when Blonde Redhead opened up for them at the Disco Rodeo in 05??

5/5/2011 1:29:51 PM

I have a ticket to the LL show tonight I need to sell to the first person that PMs, and can meet at slim's tonight with cash in hand. Face value.

5/5/2011 4:03:02 PM

^ i thought you said you weren't going because the price was too high for slim's?

5/5/2011 5:54:50 PM

I enjoyed Pinback on Monday quite a bit. I never realized how good their bass player is.

5/5/2011 6:40:37 PM

Had an awesome time at Slim's tonight. Fun hanging out with Mr Scrumples a tiny bit(thanks again for the ticket), vinylbandit, khcadwal, and tommy wiseau aka rodney beets.

Love Language covered the Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat unbelievably well for the first set, did their songs for the second set. Best Love Language show i've ever been to, bar none.

[Edited on May 6, 2011 at 1:45 AM. Reason : vu]

5/6/2011 1:22:29 AM

yeah that whole fucking show ruled

5/6/2011 2:11:05 AM

i hated that i only got to see the last 20 minutes, but i'll take it for a walk in.

i can't wait for tomorrow night.

good seeing tommy wiseau, khcadwal and vinylbandit for about 10 minutes.

the little bit i saw tonight was a great teaser for tomorrow. i absolutely hate i missed the velvet underground covers.

[Edited on May 6, 2011 at 3:01 AM. Reason : .]

5/6/2011 3:01:07 AM

that was a legendary show. i think i gave away my signed love language poster to a random homeless guy.

5/6/2011 8:42:32 AM

i told everyone before the show that it was either going to be amazing or be an entertaining disaster

they totally blew away my expectations. that VU set was as good as any cover-up set i've ever seen. extra points to crowmeat bob for the otherworldly sax.

especially glad to see LL after so much touring lately; just like valient thorr, they've gotten super-tight and it makes their songs that much better
