Sorry, no Chi setlist. Clocked in at an hour tops, didn't hear anything I didn't hear in Athens. Headed to Milwaukee now, will try to do better tonight. Got to chat with the band quite a bit. Very nice kids. Things are moving too fast for them to be jaded and cynical yet. They're just out there doin...

Why does shit like this always happen to somebody else? (I'm also thinkin' of Trucker Tomer's european adventures).

Have a great time, drt!

Will do, BtB. Setlist to follow.

Just got guest listed by Brittney. I'm such a badass, I know.

bump.

nobody here is going?

One of the few young bands that I really like. hope this next one is as original and awesome as The Monitor was.

I've done this twice. Priceless experience. Will Johnson is hands down the nicest guy in indie rock, possibly one of the nicest people of all time. Great songs too.

There's always somebody that doesn't have their shit together...please help.

Fact is, there's quite a few longtimers who I happen to know are every bit as into the band as they ever have been, yet come around here either much less than they used to or not at all. If this is somehow not a reflection of how it is around here, please enlighten me.

No one is rallying support against anybody. But if the mods want to run this shit like fucking Animal Farm, at some point there won't be anybody on this board BUT the mods.

i totally agree and understand that, Duke--it definitely exists and i'm not going to pretend it doesn't. This is EXACTLY what I have a problem with, Penny. Not that it it exists, but that acknowledging that it exists is such a crime. If one wants it like that, one cannot get indignant when someone ...

Why are you still so fired up about this? You wanted a thread and you got one, plus an announcement by Patterson. Shouldn't you be content right now? I think I just explained pretty explicitly what I am "fired up" about. What is it that you are unclear on? This entire episode has been rid...

I'm not into those bands so I don't give a fuck.

Once again the hysterical sycophancy of the mods is put on full display and once again all of us non-mods are expected to act like it doesn't exist. Pathetic. And I suppose that it's a total co-inky that Hood announces this shit an hour or so after this thread got pulled down? Uh-huh. If this threa...

Looky here: Real life has presented us w/ a nice test case: Raise your hand if u think speculating about DBT's next bass player (whether u think u know or not) should be ok, but that discussing Mrs. Cooley's hotness (see Cooley show thread) is inappropriate. I think the latter is inappropriate but ...

Aw, c'mon..."depressing" is a rather over-the-top characterization. Just because you're a more well adjusted person than I doesn't mean I'm not entitled to my feelings. Sacto, perhaps i was less than clear about the nature of my issues. I think people should be able to talk about the band...

The reason why I think this is so funny is because they probably arrived at who the new guy would be pretty quickly. In my mind, he was the obvious choice. The conversation probably went something like this, right around the holidays, if not earlier: Patterson Hood: Well guys, she's gone. We got Bar...

Lone Wolf said it in 5 words and as usual I'll take a few more. This is the 3DD equivalent of turning to the sports pages and finding nothing but talk about strikes, lockouts, contracts and potential prospects still in jr high. It's not what i come here for and it's depressing as hell. Like the son...

If there hasn't been an announcement yet there is probably a reason for not doing so. Most likely they have hired someone for a couple legs of the tour but haven't made a commitment to that player yet. This. Why announce somthing in public if they the band themselves, or even the person(s) in quest...

Believe me, you'll stop being bummed about two seconds into the first song. The new guy is a badass. AND a top notch person, too.

Then announce that.

I'm going to respect The Code and keep my mouth shut. But I've kept in touch with this guy for years and I seriously doubt he'd tell me he's playing bass with DBT if it wasn't true.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same person, but the person that I've spoken with that's gonna be playing with them soon is not the permanent bass player. He's gonna be rotating out with Barbe for a while. This is exactly why I think nothing has been announced and why it is entirely possibl...

The cat's out of the bag if you know where to look. So why nothing on the website?

Considering the sheer number of people around here who know what's up, the level of discipline in not discussing it has been remarkable.

it looks like like this whole thing has just turned to politics, i know i shared my point. I dont agree with Patterson and dont care about the strip mall. but i do like rock an roll. does anyone wanna rock. fuck the politics just turn turn up up the dial! Life is political. Grow up. But don't worry...

My kids call it Walfart, and they think that's REALLY funny. That is of course because it is in fact really funny, as are all farts. In fact any child who does not think farts are the funniest thing ever should be immediately branded as suspect. Furthermore, as your brilliant children have pointed ...

Absolutely goddamn right. And don't forget it, Athens.

Actually, Patterson is one of the few people with a valid bitch about the proposed Walmart as it practically abuts his house. HOWEVER, in defense of the develpment , let me make these points, - the developer has every right to build this property as they wish, they are not proposing any code violat...

Probably because you went expecting to see your favorite band play at a festival. Had you gone to said fests looking for the Rock Show, you'd have been disappointed.
