David Byrne/Devotcka roll call

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Anybody going? I haven't been to Wolftrap for awhile...hoping to get up front on lawn to be able to see if we go...question...do assholes often stand on the lawn, or do they remain seated?

[heather]

i am.  it'll be my first wolf trap experience (hard to believe considering that i grew up in the area), so i can't help you on the question.  let's hope the rain ends tonight as it's supposed to!

[Vas Deferens]

no, they don't but:

get there early
bring food (wolftrap food = inedible)

[Bagley]

i'll be there, first time i've seen byrne since talking heads show in 77/78...any idea what devotcka's about?

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

...any idea what devotcka's about?

Charlie, I believe this is your cue.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

This is actually similiar to what I was about to write, so why bother writing was has already been written?


DeVotchKa first started getting national attention for its spectacular 2004 album, How It Ends, a swooning combination of Eastern European gypsy folk, country doom-rock in the 16 Horsepower vein, romance-drenched strings, and Nick Urata?s soaring, Morrissey-esque vocals.

My weather.com says 0% rain tomorrow, so whoever brings an umbrella will look pretty stupid.

have fun.  loads and loads of fun.

[walkonby]

but if you bring cats, you'll look cute.   

and if you believe weather.com . . . you look stupid.

Is Byrne still doing that songs of david byrne/brian eno thing? I caught it in Philly last november; the TH stuff sounded great and on point but every new album track killed the momentum of the older song before it. And when there were two new songs in a row, forget it; sleepy time! Devotchka are fun live.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I believe he is. Hoping for at least 50% TH songs.

Yep, seen Devotchka several times. Looking forward to that.

It was around an even split.
There was also at least one Bush of Ghosts song.

Uhm - A reminder: David Byrne SUCKS!  Thank you.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Coming from someone who thinks Cat Power is the shit, i'll take that with a snicker.

Well, you have to understand, RustyOrgan can masturbate to Cat Power, and probably not to David Byrne.
