Spike ,'Showtime'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
The Long Winters are opening. We were just talking about them, right?
Yup. And then Alicia mentioned they were on her Buffista Mix and then I got her Buffista mix the next day and got to listen to them. It all worked out nicely. But it would be nicer if I got to see them. Who skips Lawrence? Then again, I might have missed them.
Did they become Revolting after or before?
Revolting Cocks is a whole 'nother band, with all the revulsion and none of the buzz.
Decemberists tour dates. I don't see anything near Kansas.
Hayden -- Make sure you get there early enough to see the Places. It's basically just this one woman named Amy, with another guy helping out on bass. Some good stuff.
t edit sorry 'bout that!

sigh. Kids today.

They're playing on my birthday here in SF. I wonder if Emmett would want to see them.
Oooh. I bet Emmett would love the show. They're definitely kid friendly.
Oops, forgot to mention another summer song: Jem, "Wish I."
What time do club shows start where y'all live? Part of my problem with seeing live shows these days is that they all start after midnight. Sure, the poster will say ten, but if the opening act actually takes the stage before 11:30 I'm gobsmacked. I usually try not to go out until 11 at the earliest so I'm tired out by the time the bands start, but often, by the time 11 rolls around the most inviting idea is getting into bed and sleeping.
Here it depends on whether the show is all-ages or not, and what kind of club and band.
All-ages w/local acts between 8 and 10
Club with regular artists bout the same
Cllub with popular local band- whenever the popular band feels like it
Club with out of town act - anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half after the time on the ticket or poster.
OK, what the hell is alt country, anyway? Launch is playing me The Two Dollar Pistols, and telling me they are alt country. They sound pretty old-school country to me. Is that now "alt," since mainstream country is all rockified and shiny?
