# :( guess "that's show business" ---so much grief and hassle that went into greenlighting song choice. Onwards and upwards I suppose XOXO

# We were going to play "ready, able" with string quartet.

# We weren't warned at all. Sorry everyone, we are crushed. You will get some extra car footage though---

# Well after much rehearsal and preperation, we will not be on Letterman tonight. We were about to walk on when dave said "we ran out of time"

I guess they won't let "anyone" play. LOL

I guess we'll have to watch Mandy Moore on The Tonight Show instead.

Same old story with that David Letterman. "We ran out of time, we ran out of time." Just once I'd like to blow the guy and not hear "we ran out of time" while I'm sitting on couch with a hard-on like a fucking jackass. Say what you want about Leno, the guy was always generous.

Midnight showings of Terminator Salvation, bitches.

grizzle bear sucks dick

was anyone able to figure out what 7:21 was talking about

i don't know but i like it

terminator salvation-puke!

Just got back from the green day at pf Richards theater show. This is the third time in three days I've seen them and it was great to see them in a venue slightly smaller than the mercury. Like the last two nights they played through the new album. Encore songs were American idiot and Jesus of suburbia. Unfortunately no requests this time. However very interactive. BJ brought a pre teen kid from the crowd up on stage and sang with him. Later on he took flowers from an audience member and began a song with a rose in his mouth. Overall Bowery had best sound, Webster had best setlist and this show was the most intimate. We also got posters as we left that did not consist of album art.

ashok, i would say that the collective brooklynvegan readers do not care about green day. they haven't made worthwhile music in quite a long time, and many an album. in particular, american idiot and the new one are very bad. please do not post more green day happenings here.

Honky tonk bonny billy acid blues @ Santos. His band right now is just so solid, so wide open. I know us Bonnie fans can be a tad sycophantic, but this show was plain epic.

BPB Band:
Will Oldham, Emmett Kelly, Josh Abrams, Cheyenne Mize, Jim White (+ BPB Alums Ryder McNair on keys, Peter Townsend on percussion, and DV DeVincentis on sax)

BPB was incredible.

BPB was in fine form, but santos completely oversold the show. really took a lot of the fun out of it. it's a great club otherwise, but i would definitely think twice about returning.

what was with the little asian girl that stumbled off near the front when bpb started?

Bonnie show was bad. Way too crowded. Stupid disco ball lighting and stage fog. Lots of talkers. Redundant sounding songs. Ick.

Good St. Vincent show last night at Webster Hall. The new songs and arrangements fit well into the set, the 5 piece band was tight and the lighting and staging was solid. I thought her vocals could have been higher in the mix though.

How was lightning dust? are they playing at apollo?

Been to a few shows at Santos and the BPB show was sold out way beyond capacity. All because the downstairs can accommodate a bunch of people doesn't mean they should consider that space when they sell tickets.
Overall the songs seemed really redundant and tiresome. I was expecting a wider array of material. The fiddles tone for some reason sounded like a cheap violin. The saxophones fills pretty much muddied up the bands mix.
Maybe I am getting to old for this business and should stay at home and drink beers while listening to my BPB albums.

Lightning Dust was great by the way.

i was at the front for bpb and felt like i had plenty of room. much moreso than being in a similar spot at bowery ballroom shows. strange

bonnie prince billy was spectacular. they did a good job mixing in older material, and the band was great. santos may have been oversold, and i couldn't tell you how the sound was in the back, but from the front, everything sounded great. it will be interesting to see them on the bigger stage at the apollo tonight.
