MBV Roll Call

[azaghal1981]

Ticketmaster says Lilys are opening tuesday.

[Samantha]

um ok...so what ARE good earplugs?  I don't own any so I'm going to need some advice for Saturday.

[azaghal1981]

They hand some out for free at the door.
 
 
 But I have a pair of Etymotics which I bring everywhere. Only $12 and do a great job. You should probably have a pair regardless of whether or not you're seeing MBV.

[sweetcell]

i also swear by my etymotics, but for MBV i would use industrial-strength foam plugs.  etymotics are rated at -20 dB, but i've seen foam ones reaching -28 or -30.  go to a pharmacy and buy whatever plugs have the higher decibel-reduction rating.

[azaghal1981]

How much should those run me?

[sweetcell]

foam plugs?  they're cheap: ex1, ex2.
 
 if you happen to live near a construction supply store or a well-stocked hardware store, you could ask them what they have in terms of ear plugs.

[jd930]

I'm bringing my etys and some major foam ones.  maybe skewer the foams to the ends of the etys and shove as hard as I can. that's probably be as goood for my ears as none at all.

I Only Said and Come in Alone from last night

[teepo]

after sunday night, it doesn't matter how shitty the sound is in any venue, mbv's equipment will destroy any damn room. i've never heard noise sound so beautiful
 
 jesus christ, one of the best shows ever. i might want to go on tuesday and see them again if i have a chance.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. I am so amped for this now.

So they are touring with their own PA. That's good to know; Roseland's sound is notoriously horrible.

Who needs tickets to MBV at the Aragon? My sister's boyfriend has 2 that he's trying to get rid of (preferably as a pair). Samantha, would that work for you? Private me your e-mail and I'll get the message to him. Thanks.

HAHA! Sounds like he's been busted!  

[bearman🐻]

Oh the stories I can tell you...actually he's got some medical reason why he can't go. Nothing serious, just weird. Like him.

[Jaguar]

Yeah, like showing up with the other lady would result in getting his ass kicked! Not too healthy.
 
 Bearman, you always have good stories. Always!
