Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

[DeathFromAbove1979]

but in all seriousness, that's a cool event.

the 930 lineup is stacked. not a huge doug loves movies fan, but i like him outside that.  tig is great, and i saw wyatt a few years back, and i thought he was fantastic.

what on earth do you get for $30 with ira glass though?

I didn't know Doug Lovs Movies was a thing, I'll have to look it up. He's hilarious. Can't wait to see what else they announce!

if you like movies, and you like doug benson, it's probably a wonderful podcast for you.

i'm not a huge movie guy.

and if any1 hasn't heard the tig cancer set, check it out.

I think BYT finally got a managing editor with legit journalism cred.
Or at least I was told that.

You mean posting photo galleries of your coked-up underwear indie rock parties DOESN'T constitute legitimate journalism???

oh that's cool.  dc definitely can benefit from an outfit like them, it's just been painful over the years seeing their amateur schtick.

regardless, one thing i have really appreciated over the years was the awesome photos they take at shows. and it was super hilarious watching the photographer at the diarrhea planet show in the middle of the moshpit trying to snap pictures.

Oh hey. Nice meeting you/talking to you for like 11 seconds at B&S/YLT.

Oh, hey, as well. I did not realize who you were until after the fact. I figured you were a boardie when you spun around in your chair and appeared to choke on your drink when I introduced myself to Kosmo.

Az was drinking?!?! Or drinking a soda?

I thought it was weird that Sean (from Fan Death Records) is writing a weekly thing for BYT now, so I started reading his posts.  Haven't really given the rest of the site  a chance.

I assumed everyone there was drinking G & Ts. May have just been Sweets and myself.

Meh, I still think they're shit. But, I don't really read it. They're a sponsor for a party I'm DJing at on Friday, my friend told me she saw my name on their blog and flipped.

FUCKEN MEH! Stoked for Bentzen Ball though. Can't hate comedy!

What's wrong with QOTSA playing Fillmore? I've seen several shows there and it's great!
I could see them playing DAR or Verizon..

Where would they play?  Verizon Center?  Bender Arena?

I imagine they are too big for Constitution Hall, but maybe not.

Unfotunately, I could see them at the Fillmore... But who knows... Last time they played the Club was in '05.... Is there demand that high? I love the band, but I never really thought they were that popular... I guess they did co-semi-somewhat-headline Made In America Fest over the weekend in behind NIN.... Patriot Center? Who knows...

It won't be the 9:30 or Fillmore or DAR. Think Patriot Center. That's where those guys are at right now. I'm surprised they didn't do a Merriweather show.

[DeathFromAbove1979]

I'm just confused by their popularity, I mean, I fucking love the band. They're my favorite band and have been for years. I just see bands that are popular now and playing Merriweather have like...songs on the radio and in commercials and shit. Queens have none of that. I heard "Smooth Sailing" in like a Mountain Dew commercial recently and I kind of freaked out hahaha. But, I guess I wouldn't be surprised if they could play at the Patriot Center... I saw Muse, The White Stripes and Kings Of Leon there. Not bad if you can get floor tickets.

They could play in a fucking parking lot for $100 and I'll still pay and go. JUST PLAY DC GOD DAMN IT.

The singles off Songs For the Deaf were all over the radio for the two years after that came out. Plus there was the Dave Grohl factor. From the last time I saw QOTSA, they seemed to have a mostly older fanbase, no? I think most people got into them around then and have just continued to be fans.
