Well, at the Big Easy you just pay a cover rather than tickets- at least that's the usual deal. It's not a Big Venue- more a normal (if you're in Maine) sized bar with a little stage. I've been for a few groups, all local.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Kate, you didn't buy a book cause you wanted to buy more CDs. And then you didn't buy any more CDs. Thus, you can afford this concert.
You make a convincing argument, except for the fact that I spent WAY more than I wanted to on parking and transportation this weekend, so I'm not feeling exactly flush with extra cash.

I wasn't sure it was still that way, especially for a more national act. I know that's how it was at the old location (hell, most of the time there wasn't even a cover), but I haven't been there since they moved.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I just realized that Portland is almost as close as Northampton, and it's a Friday night.... Hmmmm....

OK- as a primer, I download one song from iTunes- which do I get?
Cue game show pressure inducing music.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
"July, July!"
I love it so much.
and we'll remember this when we are old and ancient
though the specifics might be vague
and i'll say your camisole was sprightly light magenta
when in fact it was a nappy blueish grey

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
July, July!"
I love it so much.
Awwww! I can't remember if P-C was still dead to me from Movies, but if so, he is very certainly no longer. "July, July!" is right up there with "My Name Is Leslie Ann Levine" but has the advantage of being danceable, if you are a geek prone to dancing to folky stuff, which I fortunately (or sadly) am. "July, July!" is on the top of the playlist for my as-yet purely theoretical Geeky Folk Girl Dance Mix (The Divine Comedy's "Gin-Soaked Boy" is Number 2).

Mwah! JZ, you sound like a girl after my own heart. I think I'd like this. Well, two out of three advise: July, July wins.

Oh, I totally dance to it. I put it on The Funnest Mix CD Ever! mix for a friend of mine. Man, I hear it in my head right now and want to dance to it. And then this one time I actually listened to the second stanza of the first verse and discovered there was a guy holding his own intestines.
