I can imagine! I know they did some album together called "Crimes of the Mind" which was in 94. Yes, I actually have that album, but wasn't much of a fan of it. Now the Santana with Phish album that is awesome. *cough*closethippie*cough*

Worst Opener: Mindwar Symphony in November 2001
 Worst Headliner: Deftones in May 2003. I could only 3 three songs from that entire show (Minevra, Change in the house of flys and Shut Up and Drive). I wish someone cranked Chino's mic up to 11 so I can here what the fuck he's saying.

cool club show for a band than plays places way bigger.  the new album lacked, but still...

I've never been a Pavement fan, and never seen them live...but my guess is that their audience got older, finished grad school, and got real jobs, jobs which allowed them to become "yuppies".
 
    As opposed to your "a bunch of yuppies discovered Pavement" take on it.
 
    As if indie rock fandom weren't completely populated by yuppies or people on the path to yuppiedom anyway...

 one of the main aspects of u.s. maple's performances is their antagonization of the audience, if the audience doesn't "get it". they're kind of like the locust in that regard.
 
 since i work at the club, i will refrain from listing all the absolutely atrocious bands i've seen in the last year.

another vote for badly drawn boy a few years ago (i'm assuming you mean with his whole band).  brought some friends who'd never heard him, they left after about a half hour (during which he played maybe 1 1/2 coherent songs).  a waste of everyone's time and money.

OK, i think the Vines were VERY VERY bad.
 
   I saw Outkast put on a horrific show there back in 1998 or so. Cypress Hill (1999) was very very bad as well.
 
   the worst band i think i have ever seen there, was probably, the band that opened for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Tall Boys i think it was.  Man, i coulda killed them.
 
   As for Fatboy Slim, why dont people get it.  First off, i was involved with that show so i remember it well.  Fatboy and his dj getup in the middle of the club was very cool and something i'd never seen there. And the stuff he was playing were his own dubplates of remixed songs and what not.  Those were not records you can buy at the store or hear by someone else. If you  noticed ALL the records in his crate were white with a number on them.  anyway, i dont know what you expected him to do, mankie. summersaults? a strip tease?

Play the fiddle.

I didn't go to the Fatboy Slim show...but I can say that I wouldn't have had a problem with him just dj'ing...I think the problem is his charging $40 to hear him dj. Do any discos get that much cover for a star dj?

Oh.  I think we've been calling those "clubs" since about 1980.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Clubs are where you see live music. Discos are where they play pre-recorded music. Morrissey used "disco" and he was post-1980. Gotta go by what the Moz says.
 
 
 Burn down the disco
 Hang the blessed DJ
 Because the music that they constantly play
 IT SAYS NOTHING TO ME ABOUT MY LIFE
 Hang the blessed DJ
 Because the music they constantly play

Man, I was sent to the store for those, completely sold out. The Post had a recipe in the Mom's Day paper.
