Are you calling The National a shitty band? You're out of your gourd, sir...explain yourself. High Violet was incredible. And they're awesome live, their Lincoln show in '09 was one of the better shows I've been to. Can't wait for that show.

So many good shows in the area this summer...Father John Misty, James Blake, !!!, The National, etc.

You're right, they're not shitty.

But they're soooooooooo booooooorrrrrrrrring.

2/25/2013 2:38:58 PM

I disagree, I find their music to be dynamic and intense. And their records have more replay value than just about any band going. I never get tired of listening to Boxer or High Violet. To each their own, though.

Going to the Dirty Projectors/National show would be very vaginal is all I'm saying.

"I made a very vaginal act of going to this show." - in context.

2/27/2013 12:38:51 AM

the national is an incredible live band. can't wait to see a vaginal show.

2/27/2013 12:46:14 AM

You know what? Enjoy your show, sir.

2/28/2013 10:07:48 AM

smashing pumpkins at the red hat may 7th....how big of a trainwreck could that be?

3/4/2013 2:24:27 PM

I'm guessing 80% will be songs not on studio releases, 10% from new album, 5% will be sped up uninspired hits, and 5% will be "We only come out at night" on the kazoo

3/4/2013 4:27:05 PM

pretty much

i drove out to asheville to see them and was not impressed. will not be repeating.

3/4/2013 4:33:38 PM

^I was there too, had so much potential. I saw them again in Raleigh. That's where he did the 20 minute rendition of "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" and the kazoo thing

3/8/2013 1:06:45 PM

i saw them at lollapalooza in '94

3/20/2013 3:24:01 AM

i kept waffling on tickets to The National, and passed on the pre-sale b/c I couldn't get to a computer in time that morning.

i snubbed my nose at the tix that were available, and now i wish i would've grabbed at least one.

3/20/2013 8:48:43 PM

As you may know, Deerhunter is playing at the Carrack Gallery in Durham tonight.

Anyone get one of the 50 tickets?

4/23/2013 7:31:13 PM

missed it by a few minutes

had heard it was happening, but didn't know when tickets were being released

I'm sure he'll be in full character

4/23/2013 8:01:11 PM

It was amazing.

4/24/2013 10:11:45 AM

Deerhunter fucking ruled. All the props to Mr Scrumples for hooking me up with the info/helping me get in. I didn't get an RSVP ticket but just showed up at 10 and got right in. Anybody who showed up at 10 would've gotten right in, there wasn't even a line.

4/24/2013 11:38:47 AM

going to see smashing pumpkins @ red hat on the 7th, bassnectar in charolette on the 9th, !!! @ motorco on the 19th, and the everclear/live/filter/sponge show @ red hat the 31st...


shaping up to be a good month.

4/29/2013 1:01:13 AM

billy corgan & "friends"

4/29/2013 1:18:12 AM

yah im not terribly convinced it's going to be a good show :x it was girlfriends favorite band wayyyy back in the day so I thought it'd be fun to take her.

much more excited for

4/29/2013 2:07:27 AM

forgot, im also going to see seether this weekend at house of blues and One more time, a daft punk tribute group at southland ballroom on wednesday.

4/29/2013 3:15:26 AM

intrigued just by what it would look like on stage, i searched for videos of this daft punk tribute group

they have a smaller/replica pyramid and proper helmets that look admittedly badass, but they're just standing there playing daft punk tracks straight up

this business model is incredible and i'm legitimately upset that i didn't think of it

4/29/2013 3:23:34 AM

haha that it is.

seems to be pretty promising ?

but it's also written on the website of the people hosting the show ....

4/29/2013 3:26:51 AM

I feel obligated to go see Billy Corgan and Friends since they are my favorite band. Oceania will be more fun to hear than Zeitgeist. Hopefully he won't try to rip through Today in 1 minute 30 seconds this time.

4/29/2013 11:38:36 AM

SP tix on groupon today

4/29/2013 3:26:45 PM

i avoided all the solo acoustic gigs because i was afraid it'd be a letdown

even a transcendent acoustic gig (which some were reported to be, particularly baltimore) isn't really my thing

but drums teetering on the edge of falling apart, singing saw, dueling horns, and walls of fuzz?

I MUST BE THERE

4/29/2013 3:38:38 PM

^^ must be part of http://mountainoasisfest.com/? That's listed as having Thomas Wolfe that day.

4/29/2013 3:55:58 PM
