Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

[atomic]

I like how people on this board are talking about some Malkmus show at the Black Cat when the show of all time is happening at the Floristree.  So out of touch.

This is a joke, right? The show of all time is  Floristree?

 

personally what I find pitiful are people who simply go to shows because they are "trendy"...

What?  I hate to tell you this but Malkmus solo stuff sucks balls.  The sooner  you and everyone lets him know this by not attending his shitty solo shows the sooner he stops touring solo and gets back together with Pavement again.

 And you wonder why this is the show of the century?  Anyway I am hardly going to the show because it was trendy.  I have seen Beach House shows with 30 people at them.  And Wye Oak as an opener at many small club show and Celebration as well.  Loved Fleet Foxes before anyone else.  I love good music.

And Floristree is not a show it is a venue.  A venue that lets you bring your own beer.

Atomic, will you be at Celebration on Friday?  Also, if you haven't seen Katrina's other band, Mt Royal, they play the Ottobar on 2/1.

I love, love, love Katrina Ford! She is probably my all time favorite female vocalist!

No I won't be able to make the Celebration show.  I will try to see Mt Royal.  Are they similar in sound to Celebration?

[killsaly]

Kind of... A bit more "rocking", I suppose. More guitars and less organs.

Mike Gordon
9:30 Club
3/4

man I wonder how long the State Theatre can survive..they are losing every single staple act of theirs.... Gordon has played at least 2 or 3 times there... no more.  They've pretty much been left only with cover bands... i know their bookings were pretty weak the past few years but now they are nonexistent..

Legwarmers every night forever.

I am doing a DJ set at at January's We Fought the Big One at Marx Cafe on 1/3 for anyone into that sort of thing.

Do you know each of the records by the feel of their grooves? I'm seriously asking.

i vaguely remember seeing a news story on a young Jeff Healey showing how he could do this.

edit: yup: "He could identify records by touch alone, abetted by his immaculate, eidetic memory. One night, on a visit to Los Angeles, he flabbergasted Steven Lasker and me with his shellac-detecting prowess. When I handed him a certain 78, he palmed it, probed its edge and surfaces with his fingertips, and said, ?Hmm. It?s an acoustic Victor ? Let?s see? number 18457. It?s the ODJB ? ?Ostrich Walk.? Nice condition, too.? A distinct hurl of the gauntlet, this. Steven and I took turns at this new game of ?Stump Jeff,? pulling increasingly obscure and anomalous records off the shelf. Nothing fazed him. ?Well ? this is obviously a Columbia product? about 1930, I reckon ? but with this matrix ? it?s got to be a Clarion. It?s ?Blue Again? by Ben Selvin, as ?Ford Britten and his Blue Comets?.? ? " (http://jazzlives.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/a-few-more-words-about-jeff-healey-by-brad-kay/)

Primal Scream 5/8 Sixth and I

Weird.

Although hearing "Kill All Hippies" in a synagogue will be something.

for some reason i haven't been to a 6th & I show yet.  i had tickets for something a while back but couldn't make it.

anyhoo - what's the sound like in there?  based on pix, i'd imagine pretty reverb'y/echo'y.  i imagine it's great for acoustic/vocal-heavy/slower/etc stuff but how good does a rock band sound there?
