One of my favorite "shut the hell up" moments... One of mine was with the latest Scofield Trio at the Van Dyke in Schenectady. Towards the end of his set he was talking about the next piece and the people in the back, by the bar, were talking and laughing louder and louder. He stops in th...

Those are good answers. Thanks guys! So if you had to name some bands/performers that were precursors to post-rock, who would you name? Based solely on your descriptions, I'd say that Brian Eno's early "pop" albums ("Here Come The Warm Jets", "Taking Tiger Mountain By Strate...

OK, so I know nothing about this post-rock genre or any of the bands listed in this thread so far. Can someone give me a description of "post-rock?"? What are the defiing characteristics of "post-rock?" How would you complete this sentence: "If you like <fill in reference po...

Wasn't at this show, but I was at Rev. Hall the next night for Assembly of Dust as a snoe.down warmup! Talking with the owner on Thursday, he didnt' seem too happy about the lack of attendence... "If I knew they were playing snoe.down, I wouldn't have booked 'em the same week", were his w...

My dad used to tell that joke when I was a kid, I think it might be more of a 70's/80's thing when Wings was actually popular. No, man, I swear it really happened to me. And back in the day, Wings was more than just popular, they were HUGE. I never cared for them that much myself, but they were ine...

Hey Hoby, You're head and shoulders by far the most detailed and cognizant show reviewer I have ever seen. Do you work in a recording studio or something? :) Thanks Phrazz. Yeah, I spend a little bit of my time thinking about music. (When I'm not worrying. Of course, then there are the times I'm wo...

oh come on you guys are way too motherly with your worrying about Brad and his speaker/ladder/stage scaffolding climbing habits. save your worrying for when they start performing with fireworks and fire-breathing robotic dragons and choreographed exotic dancers on roller skates. And then Chloe said...

Awesome review!! Thanks Harry and everyone else for your kind words. I am also firmly in the nervous camp when Brad attempts his acrobatic feats during CoD. Maybe we can make up shirts or something! I like that idea. What would it say/look like? Knowing Brad, though, he'd get one himself and then w...

hoby don't you EVER post another review where i have to wonder for pages whether or not brad took a ten to twelve foot dive....... my heartrate is still dropping to a nice resting stasis as i write this.... Oh, Chloe, I'm sorry. :oops: I would never make it a cliff hanger if something bad had happe...

what's wrong with just telling them to shut the hell up? Nothing, really. I just didn't have the "strength" to approach a table of 6 rowdy people and engage in an interaction. Based on their behavior up to that point, I felt like the exchange would have escalated into something that would...

I was sitting right next to her and I was sorely tempted. I decided she wasn't worth prison time.

Come and Get It!!

A humongous thank you to Ed Guidry.

As long as you're not ambrosia drunk and driving backwards with you at the same time, it should be OK.

good review. thanks. Thanks and you're welcome. :) i was really hoping for moonlight mile in atlanta. you're lucky for that. Oh, I know. as far as the lighting and overall change in style the band has taken, i think it goes along with everything else they're doing. no surprise there. I agree. they'...
