do you HAVE TO go to NYU to get in?

Posted by Anonymous | August 29, 2008 3:29 PM

Yeah. It's free @ the Skirball Center, and only open to kids with NYU ID.

Are they going to be handing out those bullshit paper passes that you also need to get in on top of an NYU ID?

NYU rocks!

NYU Rocks? Tell that to the Bottom Line or The Palladium.

It's despicable what bands will do for money. Never cool to sell your soul to the devil for money.

who did columbia get this year at their orientation concert?

Coulumbia Orientation Concert Not Happening

It's time for our exciting first look at NSOP 2008! Seems as if this year's festivities will not include the traditional Orientation Concert on the Steps. You'll recall that last year Clipse performed with the World Famous Vampire Weekend.

A Columbia Concerts insider explained that it's "not entirely clear" why there's no concert, only that "we're trying to put all of our eggs into the Bacchanal Concert basket, I guess." He also promises that the Spring Concert will be huge.

Posted by the bwog | August 30, 2008 1:14 AM

And by huge they probably mean someone who is really famous and makes shitty music. Great, we are probably going from two great concerts last year to one shitty one this year. Why the fuck can't Columbia get BSS?

i once snuck into a mystery BSS show at China Club. There was about 12 people in there. And free beer. It was nice.

Shut up NYU!

(except for you cleavage girl – you talk all day/night)

columbia kids outside of wbar aren't really all that music savvy.

any idea how much nyu puts toward these shows they somehow seem to consistently get?

columbia students bitched and moaned when the school put $50,000 in student life fees toward the national / grizzly bear show last spring that only a couple hundred students actually turned out for.

girl on left - hit it.
girl on right - not so much.

If anyone wants to take a nice Columbia boy who is crazy for BSS... Tix to any shows on our campus would be returned, natch.

i pay about $378.48 a month and have been doing so for TEN FUCKING YEARS. but i guess my NYU ID is useless. As is my fucking degree.

"that's not the line up"

yes it is

Posted by Anonymous | September 1, 2008 8:00 PM

6:28, i guess that's what happens when you decide to go into massive debt for a liberal arts undergraduate degree. at least you got to totally experience the east village though, eh?

Got any balls? Begin posting your name and/or age when you feel inclined to post all the worthless "hit it" comments. Children.

Posted by Rand | September 3, 2008 2:18 AM

My name is Justin Nestor. I am 23 years old.

I'm commenting to say that I would totally "hit it." And I'm referring to the guy all the way to the left. Oh yeah, I'd "tap that" for sure. That's Mike O'Malley and I want a piece of him like I want a piece of the Aggro-Crag. I love me some Guts.

Posted by Justin | September 3, 2008 10:57 AM

does anyone know if you will need an nyu id to get in? I found someone supposedly selling tickets, and would hate to buy them and not be able to get in.

thanks!

You'll need an NYU ID and a time machine.

yeah, just realized it was last night...

being unemployed makes me lose track of what day of the week it is.

Posted by Anonymous | September 5, 2008 10:34 AM

how was this? what was the setlist? any special guests?

Posted by Anonymous | September 5, 2008 10:54 AM

Good show last night. Nothing crazy, but I had a really good time.

Didn't see Pattern is Movement.

French Kicks were good.

No special guests (unless you count the guitarist from Metric filling in).

Couldn't tell you the setlist, but I know they play 7/4 Shoreline early. Possibly Cause=Time. I think Almost Crimes?

They played Fire Eye'd Boy and Fucked Up Kid. They played Anthems for a 17 Year Old Girl (which after last night, I think they should never perform without Emily - it wasn't really bad, but definitely not as good as that song can be/should be performed).

They invited one of the kids from the audience up and played one of his songs.

They ended with Backed Out On The and invited everyone up on stage (probally too many people). They then continued to play around as they ushered the audience out of the auditorium.

A few technical mishaps here and there, but nothing major. They sounded great and seemed like they were great spirits joking around and whatnot.

I have seen better performances by, but last night was still pretty great.
