I'm with you on the Stooges, their set at Randalls Island in '04 was my favorite show that year. The Sword's overhyped asses are playing with Clutch in Baltimore for NYE, catch em now before there's no money to be made in metal and they jump off to another trend.

err...umm...
i heavily second Radiohead (in DC), Manic Street Preachers, Bjork...
would maim/manually graze someone with a bullet to see:

Mars Volta again (slim chance)
Sneaker Pimps
De La Soul
EPMD
My Bloody Valentine (somehow -- please)
Primal Scream
New Order
Filter again (whenever Army of Anyone gets put aside)
Smashing Pumpkins (if their reunion is legit)
i know that i'm forgetting some people -- namely UK ones b/c i've given up on so many bands ever touring or returning to DC. arrgh.

Shpongle: might wanna check the title of this thread... i'm fairly sure that simon has never played DC. getting him, raja and the required musicians for a live shpongle set is nearly impossible (only been done once or twice, only in japan i believe). having heard two shpongle dj sets, i'd certainly welcome another one as the next best thing :)
Postishead: great band that i'd LOVE to see, but have they ever played DC?
AIR: we'll have better luck there as they'll be touring in spring 2007 (but again, have they ever played DC before?)
Tragically Hip - yeah! and since we're at it, how about sarah mclachlan? been years since i've seen her (and yes, i'm assuming she's played DC in the past - fairly safe bet)

Air has been here at least twice (10,000 hz tour and Talkie Walkie tour). Both times were great (AMAZING sound) and I'm looking forward to seeing them in 2007 (hopefully at 9:30 again).

i thought it was good, but not great, perhaps due to unfairly high expectations. my fave movie is "dead man," another atypical western with a score by one of the all-time greats, and "the proposition" was no "dead man."
cave writes a lot of shit. i read his book "and the ass saw the angel," really faulkner-y in the whole southern gothic and you have no idea what's going on for pages at a time way.

Really? Have you seen "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" ? That movie's way better than "The Proposition".

it's actually up next in my blockbuster queue, looking forward to it ... i just loved how absolutely desperate "the proposition" was, it felt like all these people were constantly on the brink of survival, and the director did a great job of capturing that ... and the performances were really top notch ...

WTF it's been way overdue that Clutch hasn't played in DC in quite sometime. They're usually good for once every 5-6 months but nothing for an end of the year show in DC.
Filter was a horrible show last time they played. Very disappointing. I hope with him sober now it will be better, I'll give him another chance ;)
Girls Against Boys would be nice to see again back "home"

Where exactly are they overhyped? They're not on Metacritic, they've not been reviewed on Pitchfork, Stylus or Popmatters. A Lexus-Nexus search shows that they've only been written up in an Orlando paper and an Austin paper, where they're from, with a paragraph in Spin. Is that really overhyped? What am I missing?

And how's this for street cred, I don't pay for it. My job from four years ago didn't delete my account, so I still have it. I basically only use it to get NYTimes Select articles that aren't on the free site. And to search for all those hype mentions of The motherfucking Sword.

Yeah, but he plays Seattle almost every US tour.
Usually at the Paramount. Not as cool as the 930, but nice place anyway.

I've seen both The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada and The Proposition. I disagree that the former is "way better" than the latter. They are both very good. I rather liked The Proposition a little more. Reminded me of Cormac McCarthy's novel Blood Meridian with its ruthlessness.

I have not seen Girls Against Boys play DC in a few years. They have been playing shows occasionally in Europe so DC should not be that hard.

The Stooges
Apparently, Mike Watt is busy laying down bass tracks for the new Kelly Clarkson album:
Former Minuteman, current Stooge, and all-around inspiring guy Mike Watt's most recent recording gig made us smile so much that we just had to share it. (And so did that picture!)
Watt tells us that over the past two weeks, he spent a couple of days in the studio laying down bass tracks for Kelly Clarkson's new album. (That would be the follow-up to 2004's Breakaway--the one with "Since U Been Gone" on it.) He did such a good job of explaining it himself in the emails he sent to Pitchfork that we'll just let him do what he does best and spiel:
"The producer/engineer David Kahne is an old friend, and that's why I was asked aboard, though the guitarist and co-songwriter, Jimmy Messer, knew all about my history and was very enthusiastic; he's a great cat. Actually, it was pretty interesting. I didn't [know] what to expect, but [Kahne] had me trying all kinds of tripping stuff. Altogether, I played on six [songs]. They were already recorded, and I was replacing and adding in bass.
"Everyone there gave me much respect even with me being nervous, big time at first. I knew nothing of Kelly Clarkson before this but can tell you, in my opinion, that she can sing her ass off. Man, she's got pipes and goes for it. She also didn't have any airs or a big posse of sycophants and was just plain up-front people, which to me is very happening 'cause I ain't so used to all the fronting that can go [on] in some scenes.
"It was a challenge too 'cause it was much different than where I've been with music, but different is good, especially when what the people involved wanted was to hear someone working a bass like they meant it, and that's where I've always tried to come from.
"When [Clarkson] had to bail, she said to [Kahne], 'I think the old punk guy idea's a good one,' and we all laughed. It's just studio stuff, and I haven't been asked to be in any band for a gig or tour.

Good for him, I say. Anything that keeps Mike Watt able to continue his career as a professional musician is fine by me. And as far as pop tarts go, Kelly Clarkson isn't among the worst of the bunch.

System of a Down although I bet that was like a once in a life time deal.

It is because of all the gear they bring along. I saw them in Seattle in 2004 and they said as much at the end of the show. But they also said they would be back around 'in a couple of years'

the libertines only played at the 930 club once which was in october 04. and radio 4 opened for them then (and if i remember right, british sea power opened for them at the black cat) i think the features opened for kings of leon in febuary last year though.
i'd love love love if the brian jonestown massacre would tour more of the east coast and a date in DC would be most welcomed

i think ryan adams played the 930 club right at the year mark. not sure if it already had been a year.
