Brennser, are you on their payroll or what?      
 thanks for the link to 50-Foot Wave on bigyawn.  While I check it daily, I don't always get to the reviews and then later the band comes up!  Thx

[brennser]

markie - the thrills are pure shite
 
 a little dissapointed to hear neko case is not that great live - I finally got around to hearing a neko case compilation someonemade for me and really like it

[brennser]

thanks for the link to 50-Foot Wave on bigyawn.  

am happy to burn you a copy of 50'~ and give it to you tonight if you like?
 
 do you have last years Throwing Muses album - it puts the new stuff into context a little better

[markie]

I said nice, not great.
 
 Neko Case is alright live. If you like the recorded material you will like her live. I would rather see the new pornographers though.
 
 As for the thrills, arent I allowed to like pure shite? I do fancy seeing them. I wanted to go see them at iota. I think it could be quite a fun show.

Hmm, I have neither (obviously...).  Would love it, esp. if it gets me to the show.  But I'd like to bring you something....??

except if you are me, I just thought the live show added nothing to the experience, although she is not bad to look at

k, will bring a copy - no need for burnage in return, still trying to work my way through the alarming high pile of cdr's on my desk

[jkeisenh]

Hmm... plenty of time to schedule a New Pornographers shop for 5/18, wouldn't you say?
 
 ain't nothin' wrong with wishful thinking.

I would have to agree that Neko is better on record than live. But I haven't seen her live in a long, long time...

I was just talking to a colleague about the Raveonettes (not the non-sequiter it appears) and realized while talking to him that seeing their live show actually detracts from my appreciation of their music overall now.  I can't listen to it without picturing them singing, apparently bored out of their frickin' minds.  So now the music sounds even more boring.
 
 I can see pollard's point.  And I am not enticed by her fine...whatever.    
 
 New Pornographers kick ass, btw.  (Like that's news here...)

well not exactly my point, seeing her live did not ruin anything for me, just didn't do anything for me that I could not get from listening to the cd
 
 the point you are making applies to me more with the Dandy Warhols, who I have yet to listen to since their show because it was such a let down, I am sure I will come back to it eventually, the same thing happened to me with the White Stripes, did not listen to them for a year after their last 9:30 show

[markie]

Actually my memory is coming back to me.... I did get a bit bored at a Neko Case show, but I just put that down to not knowing any of the songs very well. Towards the end she played a couple of covers and the couple of her songs I knew and that was pretty enjoyable.
