Phantom/WSC roll call

[eltee]

Okay, it's an early roll call, but since Old 97's is out there and the weekend is looming -- who's there?
 I thought to check 'em out since you all have discussed WSC so much....

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

The Old 97's will be done by 7:45. You could easily catch both shows.
 
 In fact, we may very well catch a second show Saturday night. That would be Frog Holler at Iota.

I'd love to go, but I'm in NYC this weekend to check out Sloan open for Jet.  Hmmm, can't believe I'm seeing Jet...

Phantom Planet blows....

Although, the Phantom Planet/WSC show is an early show with doors at 6:30 (and the late show doors at 10:30).  You probably wouldn't make it for WSC in the least...

I have seen them twice live now, the last time at Recher with Adam Green. For a band with a teeny following they sure sounded pretty decent and put on a great show. The lead singer hamming it up and jumping into the audience.

the only thing markie loves more than Jet is people who love Jet   :p

[markie]

You saw them while they were still doing their 'California influenced beach-rock' phase. Their new 'selling out to the garage god phase' sucks ass. Unless you're a legend (Bowie, Dylan), or SR-71, changing your style mid-stream is lame lame lame.

 Must you insist on me having to keep correcting you?
 
 I saw them this year at Recher with Adam Green it was probably less than 14 weeks ago. They were in their "new phase" which is actually how they sounded live the other time I saw them, at Blackcat ages ago.
 
 But your an expert on this because you have seen them how many times live, exactly?
 
 As for reinvention, well you are obviously joking, right?

[eltee]

Hmm...well I know nothing about Phantom Planet. Nope, never even heard the theme song to OC.
 
 I'm thinking of going mostly for WSC, you guys say so many good things.
 
 Hey - regarding Jet - I read in a mag yesterday, the lead singer says the song, "Cold Hard B****" is about nothing. "Just a good rock song. You should ignore it, b/c I hate it."
 
 Hmph.

I listened to a WSC cd in a listening booth out in Boulder, and didn't like it at all. Guess that won't surprise any of y'all.
 
 I've the same thoughts on Phantom Planet as Markie. Don't care to see them again though.

Isn't Phantom Planet's drummer, the dude from Rushmore, related to one of the guys in the band Rooney? Cuz if so, the Coppolas really need to stick to movies.

Jason Schwartzman is no longer in the band....

or SR-71

I get what you are trying to compare, but, uh, huh?
