Re: Cooley in Austin, 12/6 and 12/7

I am going to go out and give perezoso a little bit of props here. Not for being the drunk dude at a show, but for being called out about it and actually fessing up to it. Almost every show review mentions someone like this and almost never does that person actually admit to it being them. Excellen...

By the way, as if this weekend could get any better, our dear old friend Brian (shmc) will be at both shows and hanging out all day.

GW - I'm already collecting a pile of stuff we can set on fire.

Re: Patterson solo in Lexington, KY 8/16

Great question. They've played together once before (at least that I'm aware of...) at the Georgia Theater and they sat on stage together with their acoutics and traded songs. I wasn't there but I have a recording of it. Love it! But that was in 03 and a lot has changed since then so I don't know wh...

Re: Bands you wish you liked but don't

In response to the whole The Hold Steady discussion, I wanted to say that sometimes you can really be into a band, and that band can release an album that for some reason, just kills the band for you, and you move on. And have very little interest in listening to that band any longer. I don't quite ...

X3. And also agree about Arcade Fire. I'd rather listen to Katie Perry than these two bands. I will say though, that there are a couple The National songs that I like quite a bit, but on a whole, I can't listen to that band.

I love the Dexateens, but I fall on the Slobberbone side of the discussion. Like TC said, the key to the kingdom is Everything You Though Was Right.....

That being said, I might listen to Singlewide more than any album by Slobberbone.
