Harmony ,'Conviction (1)'
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.
(I'm sure they're sold out now, right?)
They're sold out for the seventh, but I got my tix for the eighth yesterday. Dunno if they're still available, though.
And hawaii is a pretty good consolation prize, as is the Rathskeller.
Usually my attention span she is not so long for a band I don't know
You and me both. I know this makes me a heathen or something, but half an hour is usually my limit for a set where I don't know any of the songs.
The new U2 single has been leaked a day early. It's all willy-nilly all over the internet and radio.
Two Seattle stations just played it within 10 minutes of each other. I heard both and am very gleeful about it.
It's rockin', it's bouncy, it's got a great chorus, it's more of an old-school U2 sound, it's ... it's .... squee!
I am old and went to college in Boston in the 80s and saw them at the Rathskeller in Kenmore Square lo' these many years ago. It was one of the best shows I ever saw. It was packed and sweaty and loud and wonderful. I stood with my friend on a milkcrate through their whole set. Kim Deal forgot the words to Gigantic.
I was at that show!
will you have lunch with me?
OMG OF COURSE, HEC!!!!!!
becited
So, um, I suck, adn got really behind in this thread, and just skipped 1500 messages. But I have a bunch of CDs (had a couple, just got a bunch from msbelle yesterday!) that i need to send onward to Anne. i swear, I will do that v. v. soon.
I was at that show!
Heh! Too funny. I'm guessing we were probably at many of the same shows back then.

My temp minion was a Boston rocker girl and we've discovered many 80s shows we saw in common. "I saw REM at MIT! Did you see them the previous year when Husker Du opened for them? Yeah, at the Harvard Field House. Did you see The Hoodoo Gurus at The Channel?"
I saw REM at MIT!
yep.
Did you see them the previous year when Husker Du opened for them? Yeah, at the Harvard Field House.
Nope. At the Rat.
Did you see The Hoodoo Gurus at The Channel?
Yep. Big hair, and all.
The only REM show I went to in Boston was at kind of a nice old theater near Downtown...fuzzy on Boston geography now...I saw them a couple of times at the Tower theater in Philadelphia when I was in high school though.
Saw Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins do a spoken word thing (aka them reminiscing about working at an ice cream shop together when they were teenagers) at the Rat. It was right after Henry cut all his hair off and Ian had HUGE hair.

Probably the Orpheum. That would have been later.
