This CB run in the US has been getting very positive reviews. I'll have to wait until November for my turn.

[VinylGuy]

going to see mark guiliana in a few hours.

goddamn this dude was amazing, i got to see him almost in the stage as the place was very very small ( The Vanguard in the village), then i bought a vinyl and got to talk to him a while about his show with St Vincent last year in BA and Kim Gordon. I gave her my business card too, so im probably his best friend now.

[LoathedVermin72]

Rob Zombie & Marilyn Manson w/ The HU & Orgy
Tomahawk w/ Melvins
Interpol w/ Youth Lagoon

Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats in December.

Giving this tour some consideration. What I've heard so far has sounded a bit...vanilla?

I guess they do a pretty specific thing, at least by and large*, and it hits you right or it doesn't. I couldn't listen to them all the time, but they have a bunch of great tunes.

(* Their latest record is a pretty huge, and enjoyable, departure.)

I've wanted to see them for years, but have missed them for one reason or another when they've been here previously.

[Norah]

I'm gonna try to get Angine de Poutrine tickets for November.

I trust your recommendations, Spenno - I'll dig further and probably end up at the show.

Always frustrating when a band I want to see is opening for someone I don't. High Vis and Big Boy - both of whom I'd like to see - are opening for Basement, who's fine but not a band I care about much. Wish Big Boy were opening for High Vis as a headliner.

[wease]

You can always leave before Basement comes out.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah but then I'm overpaying for tickets and seeing short sets

Bruce Springsteen. Madison Square Garden. Tonight.

Rosalia in August.

Cat7riel and Paco Amoroso was very fun but their music is just not for me anymore. These dudes were pretty awesome back in 2018 and while the show was super fun and energetic i felt a bit bored with the idea behind the show.

Bruce Springsteen. Madison Square Garden. Tonight.

loved the show I saw on this tour

loved the show I saw on this tour

I thought I was done after the show at Asbury Park and sort of made peace with that. He was phenomenal that night, and the time before when I saw him on the prior Letter to You stadium tour at the last night at the Meadowlands. The time before that, which was the arena leg of Letter to You at Belmont I felt he seemed like he was running on the fumes of what was left after 50 years of touring. But the two after were probably the best shows I had seen him play so I thought maybe I got the final sparks of inspiration.

I left last night convinced that Bruce simply found the spark in this current administration to breathe new fire, to reinvigorate his sense of purpose rather than ride into the sunset. It’s even a life lesson that the world isn’t as poetic as we would like it to be - the sunset could have easily dropped after Asbury Park - a legendary show to cap a legendary career. But it seems the work is never done, and for yet another night, even at 77 years old, Bruce held that crowd in the palm of his hand as worked harder than folks half his age to bring down MSG. The show was just an incredible demonstration of the power of that moment - and Bruce’s voice sounded better than it has in years. He’s still here, and still got that magic in him. Not “for a guy his age”…but actually just still can do this without qualifiers. It’s still the most overpowering and awe inspiring moment to see him belt out Born to Run > Dancing in the Dark > Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out with the house lights on and the building shaking. And man, that speech in the beginning, with pure fire in his voice, banging straight into War is probably one of the coolest intros to a show I have seen, even if completely choreographed.

[VinylGuy]

That sounds really cool

He was physically out of gas when he went into the crowd at end the show I was at but he was great and the band is still great. I think now, based on how we find the world, he knows he wants to burn out rather than fade away. I think it's beautiful. (He is putting more into his 3 hour shows physically than almost anyone else as well)

[liebzz]

Yeah, I am not convinced that isn’t schtick. He sat on the steps and acted exhausted a few times last night.
