[killsaly]

Joe is just, as they say, "hating."

[Vas Deferens]

Just trolling!

[killsaly]

Me too!

This week:
Weekend choices (will possibly pick one):
Saturday - Run the Jewels at 930
Hunx and Punx/Chain and the Gang/Hunters at Comet
Lonnie Walker/Unspecified Services/Winks/Small Apartment at the Crown
and
Sunday - Whirr/Nothing at DC9

I will definitely be at Speedy Ortiz/Roomrunner/Hive Bent/Bleeding Rainbow on Monday at Metro Gallery though (bought my ticket a month ago)!!!

People say I am supposed to meet others at shows but none of you go to the shows I go to.  I think a few people are going to the Neutral Milk Hotel show at 2640 space.

[killsaly]

Myself, Vas, and Azaghal will all be at 2640 for NMH. I am not sure who else was able to grab tickets for it.

Azaghal likes Neutral Milk Hotel?  Wow we have a band in common.

In case anyone else is going to Justin Timberlake/Jay-Z tonight.  Looks like the new NFL no bag policy will be in effect.  no umbrellas and everything must be/fit into a clear ziploc bag.

[i am gay and i like cats]

i love going to different venues and seeing what kind of security they have going in.  i would hope for the best of the best, and i dont mind mind waiting an extra few minutes for bag searches and pat downs . . . but sometimes i see places where people just stream on in only to have their ticket checked. 

[killsaly]

90 percent of the shows I go to do not have pat downs or security checks.

Sadly, the club was fairly sparsely populated last night, but I thought both Beth Orton and Dawn Landes were terrific.  Very satisfying night of music.

Yeah there were many people at Beth Orton at Newport Folk Festival.  My wife were able to walk right to the front row of the tent and sit there right before the show started.    I guess she isn't very popular here but my wife likes her.

[showlistdc]

The last time I saw Beth Orton was in ~2002, and the 9:30 Club was sold out or very nearly so.  I just think her brand of folk/folktronica isn't very "hip" right now, so she's out of favor.  I thought the show last night was good.... but I was surprised that she did 6th & I back when her album came out, and then a significantly larger venue 8+ months later, when all the press had died down.

[Relaxer]

Anyone know how tix to Killer Mike/El-P are moving? Now that Mr. Motherfuckin Exquire has been added to the bill, this is looking like a can't-miss show and I have a feeling that once I've put the kids to bed and start wondering "well now what do I do on this fine Saturday evening" I'll be asking the wife for her blessing to go see this.

[Vas Deferens]

^ weird that Despot is not on the bill...
