is anyone going to see Chatham County Line at the Fletcher Theatre?

8/20/2010 11:00:10 AM

just when you're about to disown them for good, they say something like this

http://pitchfork.com/news/39823-weezer-plan-blue-lpipinkertoni-tour/

Quote :

"The newly major-label free Weezer have a new album, Hurley (aka the one with the absurd, Lost-referencing album cover), out September 14 via Epitaph. They've got a new single out, too, the alt-rock-tastic "Memories". Lots of looking ahead towards the future, right? Well, it seems that Weezer might look back with a possible tour that would find the band playing their two most beloved albums, 1994's Weezer (aka "The Blue Album") and 1996's Pinkerton, in their entirety, as MTV reports. Frontman Rivers Cuomo told MTV News about the possible touring plans while shooting the sure-to-be-ridiculous video for "Memories": "We have this really exciting idea to do a tour where we spend two nights in each city, and the first night, we play the entire Blue Album, and the second night, we play the entirety of Pinkerton. We're just running it by promoters right now to see if there's sufficient interest in the markets to do something like that, and if they're on board, it's gonna happen." Drummer Pat Wilson added to MTV, ""Yeah, it would probably be a Blue/Pinkerton tour. It's an idea, we're still examining the mathematics of everything, looking at the logistics and schedules ... you know." Sounds like it might happen, then-- let's hope they don't play, uh, anything after Pinkerton."

if this does happen, I will be more than happy to travel wherever I need to to see it

8/20/2010 2:12:48 PM

^ holy fuck, that news totally just made my day. Pinkerton in its entirety would be sooooo fucking amazing. I would drive to anywhere in the south to see that show.

8/20/2010 2:34:58 PM

Is there anything going on at Kings tonight? I keep hearing rumors...

8/20/2010 8:30:08 PM

as far i know, the 27th is opening night. but i do know they had talked about doing a soft opening "secret" show... never heard when though

8/20/2010 8:51:38 PM

Despite them being my favorite band for so long, I never saw Weezer live. If that happens I will go to both shows and then never see them again.

8/21/2010 2:02:28 PM

that 2000 show at Grady Cole Center in Charlotte with Ozma and The Get Up Kids was one of the highlights of my high school years. pretty sure they even played You Gave Your Love To Me Softly

wow, that was 10 years ago

8/21/2010 2:45:46 PM

Ponderosa and American Aquarium at The Pourhouse, ftw.

that's two Ponderosa plugs in 2 weeks, iirc.

8/21/2010 5:32:40 PM

I like Ponderosa. AA not so much.

8/21/2010 8:42:26 PM

I like AA. Ponderosa not so much.

8/30/2010 3:19:10 AM

Deftones this Friday in Charlotte. Stoked. I hate going to concerts by myself though. Very rarely have I done it but it looks like that will be the case here :/ Friends are either seeing them other places or busy this weekend. I bought my ticket regardless knowing that might be the case so oh well.

Caught Nas and Damian Marley this past weekend at the HOB in Myrtle Beach. Amazing. I've seen Nas before, so I knew he would bring it, but was blown away by Damian Marley. He was awesome. Full band, tons of energy. They performed half of their album together...then Nas solo for 4 or 5 songs, then Damian solo for 4 or 5 songs...back together for a couple song...left the stage, came back for an encore...2 songs together...One Mic solo...Welcome to Jamrock solo...then back together for my favorite song of their new album, "Africa Must Wake Up."

Definitely goes into my top 5 best live performances.

8/30/2010 8:41:27 AM

this might be somewhere in here, but i don't feel like looking. i'm just posting this because i learned of the black keys through tww.

they're opening for Kings of Leon in Raleigh on Monday night. it's at Walnut Creek, so that will suck, and Kings of Leon will probably suck.. they sound like a band that girls like though, so maybe it'd be fun to go and look at girls. also, tickets are $40-50-70, so yeah.. probably not going, but I hadn't heard that they would be here so that's cool

9/20/2010 4:30:20 PM

9/21/2010 6:31:20 PM

JIMMYEATWORLD @ ORANGE PEEL TOMORROW NIGHT!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

and Zach Lind (drummer) tweeted at me that they got my request to play "23" and will be doing so.

9/21/2010 10:04:22 PM

Jenny and Johnny @ the Cats Cradle tomorrow. Could do without the Johnny part, but I'll sacrifice to see J Lew.

9/22/2010 7:34:10 AM

well JimmyEatWorld last night at the orange peel was absolutely amazing.

They opened with their new single (record comes out next week), but from what I remember they played these songs:

My Best Theory
Bleed American
Your New Aesthetic
A Praise Chorus
Let it Happen
Work
For Me This is Heaven
Futures
Big Casino
Dizzy
Coffee & Cigarettes(really fucking bad song off the new record )
Movielike
Hear You Me
Evidence
Goodbye Sky Harbor (extended version)- Jim live vocal looped the same parts he sang on Clarity. it was absolutely incredible. looped about 5 vocal tracks live on stage in the song over the top of eachother, then played the bells on top of it. worth the drive right there.


Encore:
23
Pain
The Middle
Sweetness

no Blister, but overall it was a really good concert and definitely worth the trip. Have to say that For Me This is Heaven & Goodbye Sky Harbor were easily my 2 favs.

As far as their new material is concerned, i just don't think it even begins to compare with material from Futures and prior. I was extremely happy they played a few songs off Clarity...wish they played the entire album lol.

[Edited on September 23, 2010 at 9:00 AM. Reason : .]

9/23/2010 8:58:57 AM

Hear You Me has to be one of the gayest songs ever recorded

i can't imagine how they play it with a straight face

9/23/2010 10:30:25 AM

Weezer's "My Best Friend" begs to differ

9/23/2010 12:14:16 PM

NO BLISTER

NO DICE

9/23/2010 1:28:32 PM

Carrboro Music Fest going on this sunday, considering going...

anyone have any advice on where to park in that town?
I don't know the area that well and usually just wind up just driving in circles near the main road around Cat's Cradle until I find a lucky space somewhere.

9/24/2010 11:04:17 PM

there's a parking lot on greensboro street next to open eye cafe and there's another one across the street from armadillo grill.

9/25/2010 12:55:59 AM

there are two lots behind armadillo grill as well

9/25/2010 2:18:40 PM

jenny and johnny were good the other night.

going to see david bazan on monday

9/26/2010 3:35:24 AM

The Dismemberment Plan is playing a few shows in January. The DC shows are already sold out, but there are still tickets available in Philly, NYC, Boston and (recently added) Chicago. I've never seen them, so I'm stoked that I'll be seeing them in NYC.

9/27/2010 6:02:48 PM
