Perhaps James Ford could confirm?

That will never get old in my eyes.  I laugh aloud every time...

Agreed!

He probably bought El Jefe's poster while he was there!

So this thread seemed the most relevant: I bought "Devotion" and like it a lot. However, I get the impression from the songs that the other Beach House albums may sound really similar and just more of the same. Are any of the other Beach House albums worth getting?

Get "Teen Dream" it doesn't sound that similar to "Devotion" it is actually a masterpiece.   

I have seen them before and after "Teen Dream" was released and hyped by all the magazines and blogs.  I prefered the smaller crowds of before the hype hit them.  THen everyone was really into the music and knew the words.  Now you have a bunch of people at the shows looking at their watches and looking bored.

I wonder how they will fare at Merriweather before Vampire Weekend.

They're opening for VW? But...Vampire Weekend sucks.

Sounds like every DC show.  The elevated sections at DAR were seated for the National.  I would never want to play this city as a musician.

[Vas Deferens]

^^ do the National really wanna make you get up from your seat and bounce?

[fatskippy]

This is not a phenomenon exclusive to the National.  You can turn around and look at the crowd at almost any DC concert and they look no different when the band is playing as they did before the show started.  I think I remember one of the guys in Dinosaur Jr calling out the 9:30 Club crowd for how dull they were.  As a musician, why would you want to come back to DC to play to a bunch of zombies?

[godsshoeshine]

because people pay money to see bands here

David Yow's callouts were my favorite.

Thank you, good people of Bethesda.

Exactly...their music doesn't really inspire me to get up and groove...mostly, though, it's because I'm fast asleep.
