Indie Rock Show Review Buzzword Bingo (TM)
« on: February 07, 2008, 06:50:00 pm »
Following up on my comment in the Vampire Weekend thread which was based on the scenario of people getting randomly assigned squares containing oft repeated comment about show... sort of like a Super Bowl score grid wagering pool...
 
 This idea could work but would be tough to administer... So instead strictly for the sake of amusement, as trying to wager on this because it would be to easily rigged, would be turn this into a  Buzzword Bingo style game.  Where 24 or more oft heard phrases are used to randomly generate bingo cards which people would then check off every time that phrase appears here and possibly other local blogs, etc.  The free square will  of course have to be "Nobody Was Dancing"
 
 So I'm looking for suggestions comments that often pop up in show reviews.  And the inaugural  show for the game could either be Wilco or Justice.
 
 As far as actually playing, I think it's only fair that people going to show can get a card they just can't post a review  :)
 
 In order to get the white board going I suggest
 
 "The Sound Was Lousy"
 "Latecomers tried to shove their way past me"
T.Rex

"They weren't as good as the last time they came to town and played at (insert smaller venue here)."

Obviously something pertaining to how "Tickets.com screwed me out of tickets" or "no real fans get into the show because scalpers ate up all of the tickets."

"The crowd sucked"
 
 "Too many frat guys / sorority girls" or better yet "Too many Turbos"
 
 For Wilco:  Any reference to not liking songs off Ghost is Born or Sky Blue Sky
 
 For Justice:  Any reference to Daft Punk

The show sounded good, but I couldn't see past the tall dude in front.

I liked them better when they were [similar band that's better known or classic].
 
 I hope there's a download of the show.
 
 [person/band] was there!
 
 How did they get in the VIP section?
 
 I talked to [performer] after the show.
 
 The [unusual instrument] was cool.
 
 I wished they would have shut up about politics and just played.

"All of the bands on this year's Fort Reno schedule suck.  They should have booked [name shitty band featuring significant other of person doing the complaining.]"
 
 "All the hipsters ruined it."
 
 "Prior to The Evens' set, we were treated to a very informative 25-minute lecture on U.S. foreign policy by Darcy, a vegan activist who is also a sophomore at Sidwell Friends."
