Broken Social Scene coming back to NYC, Feist DVD out now, both just played together in Toronto (video & dates)

this act is sooooo tired and played out. Can people (read bloggers) move on?

Whooooooooo cccccaaaaarrrrreeeeeesssssss???

I cared until I saw Terminal 5......fuck that place!

They could have played at Town Hall, Beacon, Irving Plaza, and ........

^except that those places don't hold as many people and ticket prices would be more.

Just drop dead and fuck off, 1:18 and 1:40. Go back to your Lady Gaga just because Bitchfork told you to, dimwits. BSS are one of the best live bands around and Forgiveness Rock Record is one of the year's best, plain and simple. Haters gonna hate.

In 1:40, read 1:24.

"^except that those places don't hold as many people and ticket prices would be more"

I don't mind paying more for a better venue. T5? I'll pass.

Beacon holds 3,000 like T5. Doubt the ticket prices would be that much more....this will be, what, $35?

I saw BSS at a dorm in Ithaca in 2003. I saw them at a decent rock venue in Amsterdam in 2008. I like them a lot.

But, there is no way in hell I'm going to see them at T5 in 2010. They need to reconfigure that whole place.

more like BS, amirite?

What a quick swing of emotion! I read, BSS coming back to NYC and was immediately psyched. Then, I read that the show would be at T5 instead of basically any other venue in NYC, and I was immediately saddened knowing that a band I love to see live chose to play a venue I will not attend.

Here's my review of Friday night's show over on blogTO

weird that I'm in the same boat of psyched that bss is coming back so soon (their three ny shows this year were tremendous), but so upset that they're playing t5 to the point where i think i'm going to pass.

OVERRATED

~~oh SHite~~~~~~~~

am i the only one that adores terminal 5?

no you're not, but you know how the hipsters are. They like to spend their parents' money and complain about everything

T5 rules, fuck all of you snobs

In which way does T5 rule? The awful sound in the venue, the bridge and tunnel crowds, the steroid-case security, the stifling heat, the completely out of the way location?

Pick one.

i'll go one by one

1. the awful sound- is it really that much worse than other venues of its size? I think not. Roseland and Hammerstein are equally good/bad.
2. bridge and tunnel crowds- Do you really think that terminal 5 attracts an audience that other venues don't? Artists attract audiences, not venues. by the way, "Bridge and Tunnel crowd" is unfairly derogatory and assumes there is something inherently wrong about Long Island/New Jersey people.
3. steroid case security- I never had a problem. Maybe I lucked out, I don't know. I never tried to smuggle in drugs either.
4. stifling heat- crowded venues get hot. Not a terminal 5 phenomenon.
5. out of the way location- i think what you mean is "not close to NYC subways". Not a problem if you don't take an NYC subway to the venue.

Does the complaint about the bridge and tunnel crowd mean people from Brooklyn go there?

Have fun listening to a about a dozen people playing at once through the T5 sound system. Love this band, but im not going to spend all that money to have the crappy headphones experience. Saw them at webster in 2006 and it was amazing.

you people are retarded. i am not the biggest fan of T5, but if you don't want to go, then don't. BSS already played here not that long ago. if they played NYC any more than twice in a year you same complaining idiots would say, "this band plays here all the time, who cares."

you want this cut of the money? shut up. SHUT. UP.

^Excellent Batman reference. Kudos to you Lisa, Kudos.

that new Feist doc is great

Feist was there friday night
