"... 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..."

Obligatory Matt Sharp must partake.

GBV was AWESOME.

You don't get the full effect of "Game of Pricks" until five plastered guys your dad's age are beating the shit out of it. 10/10.

10/23/2010 11:52:21 AM

Best Coast is opening for the Weezer Blue/Pinkerton shows in LA; not in New York, though. Got a ticket to the Pinkerton night, as I could not afford both sadly.

10/23/2010 11:56:45 AM

GBV was indeed awesome. I was against the stage and had Demos in my face more than a few times.

I had to roll my eyes at a couple of people in line near me before the doors opened.

"I never got to see Guided by Voices the first time, so I'm thrilled. I figured I'd only get to see a Boston Spaceships show or Bob solo at some point. I can't believe I'm gonna get to see the classic line up. Bee Thousand is such a great album."

*out walks Mitch Mitchell to shake hands/shoot the shit with the people in line*

"Wow. That was pretty cool. Who was that?"

Me- "That was Mitch Mitchell."

"Is he in GBV or with the opener?"

Me- "He's in Guided by Voices."

"Is he the drummer?"

10/24/2010 6:49:59 PM

Agreed, I loved GBV. Bob Pollard was literally doing kicks all night. And Mitch Mitchell was hilarious; HE'S IN IT FOR THE SWEET CAROLINA PUSSY!!! (according to the man himself)

Plus, THREE encores. Three. Never seen more than one at the Cradle. Great show.

10/25/2010 10:39:54 AM

just bought my javelin tix (not until nov. 11th but i got paid so went ahead and got them)

yayyy

10/26/2010 4:08:19 PM

10/26/2010 10:05:23 PM

10/26/2010 10:09:23 PM

Excited about MiMOSA tomorrow night at Lincoln!

10/26/2010 11:14:02 PM

i'm going to start promoting this now:

thurs., nov. 25th (thanksgiving night) at KINGS

FELIX THE DRUM MACHINE

featuring members of future islands, lonnie walker, annuals, and cellar seas

with AMAZING SPECIAL GUESTS (if you'd like to be a special guest, PM me because we have one slot open, that means you, rich)

10/27/2010 3:33:19 AM

CAN'T WAIT

10/27/2010 3:50:29 AM

Bob 1 had a bad accident and had to have surgery on his hand, so full band DEVO is out for Moogfest.

With that said, Mark & Gerry are both showing up and there will be some sort of DEVO thing going on, even if it is with a different band as backup.

Could be pretty awesome, like when the Smashing Pumpkins set at the Cradle turned into a three hour acoustic set because Jimmy Chamberlain got stung in the eye by a jellyfish the day before.

10/27/2010 10:55:10 AM

Nov. 11th at Volume 11
Overkill w/

Forbidden
Evile
Gama Bomb
Bonded By Blood

If you love Old School thrash, you will love Overkill. Never heard of the other bands.

11/2/2010 9:14:01 AM

White Rabbits @ 506 tonight

11/2/2010 11:20:16 AM

^saw them last year in charlotte. they kicked ass.

11/2/2010 5:27:51 PM

bigass girl talk tour.

always fun.

11/5/2010 1:49:24 PM

of course he chose the absolute worst venue in raleigh

11/5/2010 2:37:08 PM

i figured he booked into lincoln and was going to argue for the fact that the lincoln is a wonderful room that suffers from the worst booking and event management in town

but then i looked at the schedule, and you're right

haha

BTW, future islands/lonnie walker/motor skills tonight is pretty damn close to sold out, i'd say get your tix online because the chances of getting in at the door are slim to none

FI/LW have a 7" split that's out today and features what might be the best LW song so far (and def. my favorite riff)

11/5/2010 3:32:39 PM

Feels Like Right?

11/5/2010 3:41:55 PM

"Love Turn"

http://friendsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/future-islands-lonnie-walker-split

William insisted it be on peach vinyl.

11/5/2010 3:54:39 PM

ahhhhhh

that one is pretty great

11/5/2010 4:24:26 PM

UPDATE: Future Islands is sold out. A handful of tickets left from CD Alley may make it to the club, but it's doubtful you'll be able to get in at the door.

Also, just announced

WILD FLAG (2/3rds of Sleater-Kinney + Mary Timony) at Local 506 on March 11

yessssss

11/5/2010 5:47:11 PM

Thanksgiving show at KINGS sounds awesome. Too bad I'll be out of town with the family. Looking forward to Wolf Parade tomorrow.

11/5/2010 7:59:52 PM

One more update before I leave the house:

Future Islands is SOLD OUT. If you don't have a ticket, don't bother showing up.

11/5/2010 9:11:04 PM

should i make the effort to go see best coast tonight

11/6/2010 1:13:30 PM

depends on how into them you are

they put on one of the most lackluster performances during hopscotch, but she's still awesome to look at

11/6/2010 1:21:56 PM

I thought they were good. And awesome to look at.

11/6/2010 1:49:21 PM

Going to Charlotte to see Marcus Schossow tonight, and staying through Monday to catch Skrillex

11/6/2010 2:02:57 PM

Ponderosa back in Raleigh again and back at Slim's at approximately 10:30

i know a few folks who caught part of their set as the earliest show at Hopscotch said they wanted to see more of 'em, so i thought i would post it here.

they're a really fun band to see live.

11/6/2010 6:13:07 PM

I would not make too much of an effort to see Best Coast

wasn't bad live but not a single thing about it was great. pretty dull performers.

11/6/2010 6:18:47 PM

Javelin ticket purchased

Lonnie Walker/Future Islands ticket purchased

IT'S ON

11/6/2010 6:45:40 PM

best coast was good

but i wouldn't drive more than 20 minutes to see 'em

11/6/2010 7:12:45 PM

lol

it's a 25 minute drive into downtown houston from my house.

i've decided against.

funny it worked out with ^

thanks for the reviews guys, i was on the fence, and i dont feel like making the effort for a lackluster show.

11/6/2010 7:40:18 PM

i really want to go see robert earl keen/randy rogers band/reckless kelly tomorrow night at the lincoln. too bad i have to work


i really just want to see reckless kelly. they are like my 5th favorite band and never come to the east coast.

11/6/2010 9:08:54 PM

saw some band called The Loom at King's last night, they were great

11/8/2010 11:29:16 AM

Saw Sufjan last night at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville. Dude has definitely lost his fucking mind, in the best, most artistic way possible. His show is so fucking insane that it makes perfect sense. Incredible show.

And to hear him talk about it between songs is really interesting. You can tell that he himself is confused about the directions his art has/is headed in, but that it's just where his creative self took him. He talks about how he really lost it for awhile and in doing so, really identified with this folk artist Royal Robertson's insane, apocalyptic vision and the heartbreak behind it, and that this whole album/show is his attempt to pay homage to Robertson.

11/8/2010 2:31:30 PM

yea i almost went to that show last night.

11/8/2010 2:34:49 PM

damn, I didn't even know his tour brought him to Asheville.

I've seen him twice before, and it's always a unique experience.

this does not encourage me to go to another sufjan show.

11/8/2010 9:27:37 PM

I'm checking him out in Boston this Friday. I'm looking forward to the insanity!

11/8/2010 10:36:55 PM

^^ your loss

guess sufjan's no edward sharpe

11/9/2010 9:33:25 AM

hey VB, how likely is the Future Islands/Veelee show at Kings to sell out? Should I grab some advance tickets now or do I have some time?

11/9/2010 2:21:25 PM

I'll go ahead and answer for him

very likely

11/9/2010 2:55:54 PM

considering FI/LW sold out at 506 with plenty of time to spare, i'd say the hometown show will sell out easily

but i'm on the guest list, so fuck y'all

also i'm drunk

also come to the show on thanksgiving, new felix songs plus hopefully cassis orange aka cute girl who writes great songs

11/10/2010 2:33:36 AM

Thursday is doing a 10 year anniversary tour for "Full Collapse." First time I saw them was 2001 and I haven't seen them since probably 2003 (mainly because I haven't really desired to) but I will definitely plan to go to this if they have any dates close to me. I think they will be playing Charlotte at least.

11/10/2010 1:52:34 PM

oooooh man does that bring back some memories
