10/5/2010 7:28:35 PM

10/6/2010 12:08:03 AM

10/6/2010 12:48:52 AM

Basically I want an excuse to rock one of my bowties. I think I'll go suit with no jacket.

the Gayngs show fucking ruled btw

10/7/2010 8:36:30 PM

^

can't stop listening to Faded High

10/7/2010 9:02:32 PM

that show was fabulous. so glad they added the cradle to the tour!!!

10/8/2010 1:41:04 AM

im so jealous of all of you
anyone going to Annuals, Ryan Gustafson tonight at Kings or Bowerbirds tomorrow?

10/8/2010 2:44:16 PM

no annuals for me.

bowerbirds would be awesome, but i'm going to deerhunter at the cradle instead. this week/end is kind of a little insane for music in triangle area. some good stuff going on everywhere.

10/8/2010 2:47:56 PM

diplo is playing for free tonight

but i don't listen to diplo

10/8/2010 2:48:35 PM

<3 diplo

you should go

10/8/2010 3:08:53 PM

where is diplo playing for free

10/8/2010 3:15:12 PM

it's not like you have to "listen to Diplo" to enjoy his show

he's a fun DJ. his show at the Cradle a few years ago was great. the Major Lazer show too.

10/8/2010 3:32:31 PM

Avett Brothers at Kings late night tonight

not my style but y'all should know

10/8/2010 9:18:14 PM

^is that true? i'm not really into the avett brothers, but i'd see 'em at kings

when is it?

10/8/2010 11:02:54 PM

I, too, would be interested in checking them out.

10/8/2010 11:03:52 PM

Got any more inside info, vb? are they playing after annuals?

10/8/2010 11:24:08 PM

free ticket to Deerhunter or Bowerbirds at Kings?

i think I'm gonna go to Kings, because I didn't like anything from Deerhunter prior to Halcyon Digest, even though i can see the Bowerbirds anytime i like.

i love the bowerbirds, but i've always found them to be very boring in a live setting

with that said, their crazy new lineup could change that

10/9/2010 1:52:25 PM

Gayngs won the week

10/10/2010 2:56:52 AM

the Bowerbirds were pretty stellar tonight with their new, fuller sound. I thought it was damn good.

at the same time, I would've enjoyed Deerhunter, but the bottom line was good show + convenience =/= cat's cradle. It was Kings, ftw.

as bad as it sounds for CC, i selfishly hope that's a trend of thought that continues.

10/10/2010 3:03:11 AM

i didn't go to diplo.

we drove there and then drove back. i forget why. i blacked out hard later. this was in miami.

10/10/2010 8:17:48 AM

So, the Motorco Music Hall opening night was pretty damn good. The area's kinda sketchy (it is Durham), but the show was fun. Hammer No More the Fingers being excellent as usual.

10/10/2010 9:30:21 AM

^Scratch that 'opening night' bit, apparently it opened a while back. Last night was just being called the 'Grand Opening' for some reason.

Anyway, the show was good, is what I'm saying.

10/10/2010 11:07:05 AM

anyone else notice how the Deerhunter drummer kinda sucked? kept speeding up and slowing down during songs

10/10/2010 1:57:18 PM

this is the other reason i was iffy on going to the deerhunter show

when i saw them a couple years ago before i heard their records i was pretty underwhelmed by what i saw

10/10/2010 2:12:02 PM

it was ok, nothing spectacular

I had pretty high hopes going in

10/10/2010 2:23:33 PM

i also thought the drums were too loud which is a rare complaint from me. i had high hopes going in, too. it was ok, but nothing to write home about. oh well!

i def wish i had gone to menomena instead. but there was no way to know that going in!

I thought you were talking about the band The Drums to which I was going to respond 'i also thought the drums were too gay.'

I should start reading threads.

10/10/2010 5:05:04 PM

my friend who saw the Drums at 506 said it was pretty, pretty gay

10/10/2010 5:27:27 PM

the bowerbirds are pretty mellow in a live show but it was a really good show. im glad we made the choice to stay in Raleigh instead of heading out to see deerhunter.

Kid Future opened and they were pretty good too. we were going to head into neptunes pre-show but the sound was too good to pass up.

10/11/2010 9:37:46 AM

Kurt Vile next week

[Edited on October 11, 2010 at 1:28 PM. Reason : .]

10/11/2010 1:16:16 PM

I thought Deerhunter was awesome. But, I'm a bigger fan than most of that band and I've loved them all three times I've seen them. I didn't have any complaints about the drummer, but I also was paying a lot more attention to the guitars.

Also, Gayngs did not win the week if you were at Built to Spill last night. I hadn't seen them before. Holy fuck are they talented.

10/11/2010 1:17:50 PM

Goodbye Providence, Milagro Saints, Smile Smile & Dragmatic @ the Pour House Saturday

10/14/2010 2:21:39 PM

the Vampire Weekend show was way more fun than I expected it to be. the crowd was also ~70% girls.

10/18/2010 12:55:50 PM

Yeah, I had a blast at Vampire Weekend. Dudes are way more entertaining than I thought they would be. And they are all actually very solid musicians, especially the drummer. Really enjoyed Beach House, too; perfect opener for VW.

haven't seen em live, but they're very hit or miss for me.

10/18/2010 3:29:11 PM

vampire weekend was great and they def liked the venue and the crowd

all kinds of ages at the show ... fun had by all

10/18/2010 3:35:04 PM

The Thermals on Saturday at Kings were great.

I'm ashamed to say I wasn't too familiar with much they did after The Body, The Blood and The Machine, but I was impressed by what I heard in terms of the last three albums material.

Cymbals Eat Guitars were pretty good as well.

10/18/2010 4:28:04 PM

Anyone have a GBV ticket they're looking to sell?

10/20/2010 3:34:59 PM

November is going to rule

(hopefully as much as September and October have)

love language tonight
probably not going

10/21/2010 8:48:26 AM

I think I'm going to Mount Moriah instead, but I have an operative who's snagging me some of that sweet Veelee vinyl.
