Weekend roll call

[ggw]

I was at the Ponys show as well.  I only caught the tail-end of the Black Lips which was great.  I thought the Ponys were great.  
 
 I noticed the volume too, and was very happy with it.  The last couple of shows I've seen at the Black Cat have been too quiet.

I think the sound quality at the Black Cat is usually better when there isn't quite as much volume. I know I had difficulty making out the lyrics for both the Black Lips and the Ponys due to some muddy sound.
 
 What's up with Black Cat audiences anymore? Only like 6 people applauded after the Ponys' set. No wonder we didn't an encore. This is the third show in a row at the Black Cat that I've been to that hasn't had an encore, likely due to the anemic audience applause.

I was at Ponys, Black Lips.  I thought the Ponys were great.  Note that I'm 'new' to them -- downloaded the new album from eMusic, but haven't listened to it.
 
 I also enjoyed Black Lips (I knew 3 guys who'd come up from Richmond to see them).  I liked the Ponys better; to me the Black Lips had songs I loved, and songs that didn't grab me much.  Of the two, I enjoyed the Ponys more.  
 
 Still, really good Saturday night B.C. show.
 
 I know nothing of this RJD2.  Isn't that a character from Star Wars??  :cool:

I had Celebration Castle and Laced with Romance, but I didn't have their latest, so I was also wishing they played more songs from their first two albums.

I probably did too. The Black Lips were fun and easy to dance, too, but some of their songs fell a little flat.

Saturday I participated in Shutdown Day which encouraged people to do without computers for the day...

Well if we're listing non-music things, yesterday I ran nine miles, did yardwork, and put together furniture while watching NASCAR and the Hoyas. So rock and roll!

Went to see Ponys at the Ottobar on Friday.  Only about 40-50 people there total, most left after Black Lips.  Both bands were really good, but I felt bad for the Ponys.  They played most of the new album and I think 2 from Laced with Romance for about 15 people.

Did anyone see Winterpills at Iota?

I wanted to see this but was Ponying it up.  I liked their SXSW MP3 and had them on my list to catch if it worked in to my schedule.  It didn't.  Would be interested to hear how their show was...
