This week rollcall

[xcanuck]

Trying to decide between Sloan and DMST/Years/Charles Spearin on Tuesday. What the hell has happened to Sloan that makes them play a freaking coffee shop? (OK - it could be a few mediocre releases in the recent past). *sigh* Still, leaning towards Sloan simply because I can't tolerate the lack of public transportation options in the H St area.

But I will venture out there for Land of Talk at the RnR Hotel on Thursday. I thought their album "Some Are Lakes" was one of the best albums from last year. Elizabeth Powell is one hell of a guitar player.

I'd go to Sloan to see them in a small venue and the sound is always really good there.

Where are Sloan playing?

Didn't they play the Black Cat last time they were here?

Yup - they played to a half full mainstage at the Cat. They're at Jammin Java tonite. Ugh. See y'all there. By the way, the openers (Magneta Lane) are worth seeing. I believe their producer is Moe Berg (from The Pursuit of Happiness).

If I were you, I'd see the Do Make Say Think show. Reviews have been very positive on their current tour.

I've only seen Sloan once over 10 years ago...I walked out. Maybe they've gotten better though...

I saw Sloan once. In 1993. I guess that makes me old.

I'll be at Elvis Perkins Wed.

I'd be going to Sloan tonight but working the late shift 

At this point I'd dig "Twice Removed" start to finish.

Part of Sloan's problem is Andrew, he is deffo their weakest link with his songwriting and not always consistent drumming.  Jay is the most consistently good songwriter but only gets one or two songs per album.  Leaving Patrick and Chris to duke it over which RAWK band they want to emulate.

I'm a power pop fan, so I'm supposed to like Sloan, but I don't.  They just aren't bringing the hooks, except for some really good tunes that that one guitarist comes up with

That would be Jay and I didn't fact check myself in the previous post....

It'll be interesting to see how energetic the show is. Murphy is usually the visual focal point but his collarbone was broken in a hit and run (hence name of the new EP) and apparently still has discomfort playing bass.

[miss pretentious]

mr. p and i will be at sloan tonight. that's all him. i've never actually listened to them.
