The we should really have a YouTube thread thread

Say what you will about beer pong, but wow:

Article about the team:

Of note, they are on a dry campus.  Also:

For more than two decades, Olivet's "Dry Tigers" beer-pong team has remained undefeated, never once allowing their opponents to score, and thus never drinking any alcohol.

This is nice.

Hey, Seth....

you might remember recently in the Just Announced thread a bunch of us were going on and on about Shpongle, whose core members are Raja Ram and Simon Posford.  the 2 central members of Younger Brother are Benji Vaughan (aka Prometheus)... and Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen).  the first two YB records were written and recorded by benji and simon only, and are HIGHLY recommended (on Twisted Records, http://www.twistedmusic.com/).  a little more on the electronic tip, but still very blissful and trippy.  this live band incarnation of YB is a relatively new thing.  the third album is currently being recorded with the full band, due out later this year.

i WAS going to say "good luck!" to your "hey seth" - YB have only played the US a few times, mostly at camp bisco and maybe a show or two in SF.  however, i just got this in my inbox:

Younger Brother Live ft. Simon Posford, Benji Vaughan, Marc Brownstein, Joe Russo, Thomas Hamilton, Ruu Campbell 
Thu July 9 (doors 10:00, show 11:00)
Terminal 5, NYC
$25

i don't have any info about additional dates, but will post them on in JA if ever they're anywhere near DC/b'more.  for folks in the NYC area, i can't recommend this show highly enough.

I hate to see Greg W leave the band but it seems Ralph is taking it in stride. I'm sure the other 2 will stay. Bass players are a dime a dozen.

The S/T release is a hilarious full on punk treasure, if you desire:

I saw Death Cab For Cutie at the Hollywood Bowl last night and it was one of the most incredible concert experiences I've ever had. If you want to get an idea, check out the finale of "Transatlanticism" with the LA Philharmonic...and fireworks. Unfuckingreal. Even the hardest cynic would probably admit this was some of the most epic shit they'd ever seen. But you still had to be there to truly appreciate the magnitude of the event. Enjoy.

f*ck f*ck f*ck.  a friend had a garden box seat for me, i almost got on a plane for this show... i knew it would be epic.  the hipsters can hate on death cab all they want - they have some great songs and put on a solid live show.  throw in the philharmonic, fireworks and the band knowing this was a one-time performance, and i have no doubt that was a night to remember.  wish i could have been there.  thanks for posting the link.  hopefully they'll release a recording and/or video of this show (will have to hit up dime and the other usual spots to see if anyone got a good bootleg).

Well, I saw them at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Friday night, that show was (dare I say) even better. It was ridiculously intimate, and they were so well-rehearsed and amped up for the Hollywood Bowl gig. Both were amazing, just different, but seeing them in front of 600 people was like seeing a rehearsal, but seeing them in front of 18,000 people was great too. There are some more Youtube links popping up. I had a garden box and have to say that it was pretty friggin' fantastic. Sorry to say, but WELL worth the trip Sweetcell. Not sure if you've ever seen a show like that at the Bowl, but it's one of the best-kept secrets if it's a strong bill. Tegan and Sara and the New Pornographers opened. I was shocked that the NP's went on first and only got a half hour. They kind of got robbed in my opinion. T&S were scared shitless to play in front of that many people.

Sorry to say, but WELL worth the trip Sweetcell.

see first sentence/phrase of my previous reply.  realistically there was no way i could have made this trip given recent life events (like, say, moving).  so the rational part of my brain is trying its best to foster resignation and acceptance...

i had the extreme privilege of seeing radiohead there twice - amazing shows, but no fireworks.  on the second night during "house of cards", a song i'm only so-so on, i went all the way to the back of the bowl and slowly walked up, taking it all in... what a view.  what a great venue.
