You might be able to see me when they pan back, haha. It was SO good.

I hope. They haven't played in Detroit in a few years. The best options i had were Cleveland, Chicago, or Toronto and it's just been too busy of a year for me to leave for the weekend and spend the money to stay somewhere.

I get three paychecks next month.  Planning on seeing Buzzoven, Mayhem and Crowbar in November.  I hope these pan out.

Edit: And Unsane just announced a tour in December.  I'll hit that up as well.

Saw the Pixies on Friday. I know some fans might be turned off by Kim no longer playing with the band, but Charles, Joey and David still put on a hell of a show. They played for almost two hours straight with no breaks in between songs. They all sounded amazing and it was one of the cleanest sounding live shows I've ever heard. You could hear everything crystal clear.

I had looked up some youtube shows from this tour and honestly I was a little underwhelmed by the energy of the shows, so going into it I was almost expecting to be let down, but they really did give it their all and I'm really happy I got to see them. They opened with Wave of Mutilation and ended with a slower shortened version of the same song before playing Bone Machine as their encore. My only bit of criticism was that they played too many songs off the new album which I didn't care for. I would've loved the hear U-Mass, Mr. Grieves, No. 13 or Gigantic (I knew they weren't going to play that one) instead of the songs from Head Carrier. They did play Crackity Jones though and I wasn't sure if they would.

Great show though. My wife bought me a Black Francis Coffee mug too.

I'm going to Vegas for work next month and you best your asses I'm going to see Billy Idol.

Saw Billy last week at the house of blues inside mandalay bay. If you've never been to vegas before, it's located towards the end of the strip and I don't know how it was before the shooting, but the place was totally empty compared to the other end. Hardly anyone in the casino or any of the bars outside the venue we were in.

Anyway, the show was decent. It was a really small venue so we had a great view. I don't know how old Billy is, but he looked like he had about 2 hours of makeup done before the show. There were a few points I thought he might have been lip syncing, but he gave a good performance. Steve Stevens looks absolutely hilarious in his old age because he's still dressing like its 1983. He's a serious shredder, but nobody needs to do as many guitar solos as he did. Probably the biggest showboater I've ever seen, but he was entertaining. My wife and I were probably the youngest people there, but the crowd was better than some of the young crowds I'm in with the newer bands I see.  Whole thing was pretty fun and I enjoyed myself, but it wasn't a show I would ever take seriously and that's fine.

Saw The FrontBottoms (4th time) with Basement a few weeks ago. No shame for my love of sappy music, I had a blast.

Yea I went to the Hollywood Bowl show and I felt like I was in a crowd of corpses. Nobody really got stoked until some Smiths songs were played. What was even better was seeing all the sad faces watching the video that played during Meat is Murder, followed by those same sad faces getting bacon wrapped hot dogs after the show. Other than that it was a great show, I got hyped when he played Speedway

Damn I left my bubbler at my parents house

Seeing Jeff Rosenstock w/ Lemuria and Roar next month, followed by Touche Amore/La Dispute the following night. Valentines Day week is going to be so busy with awesome stuff I won't even care that I'm lonely as shit.

that new album that surprise dropped was really really rad. Lemuria also rips.

Seeing Alvvays tonight. Got free tickets and I don't hate them, so I can't complain.

I want to see these fuckers so bad. That first album is on heavy repeat for me.

I have given Metz so many chances and literally don't understand why people like them.

i dont think metz is the most original or interesting band out there, but i think they do a good job at being loud and heavy. im not a big fan of hardcore or any kind of metal, so when i want something thats heavy metz does the trick because they're pretty straight to the point and they stick to pretty basic rock song structures. you know exactly what you're getting when you put on a metz record, and i like that about them.

I saw John Maus last Sunday the 11th, at Union Transfer in Philadelphia.

At first I didn't want to go, cause I figured he'd mostly be playing tracks from his most recent album, that I've only listened to twice.

But he actually had a really good, varied setlist, which mostly followed a chronological order. All the live-versions of the songs from his earlier albums, sounded even better than they did on the records. "Rights for Gays" was probably the crowd favorite/got the biggest reaction.

I think in the second half of the show, only two songs off the newest album even got played, and like four or five "Pitiless Censors" (prob my fav release of his) tracks got played, with the encore of the show being "Believer", which he performed amazingly well.

Both shows fucked me up in a good way.

backing band was great. the keyboard dude was unintentionally or possibly intentionally hilarious, and rhythm section was super tight. same encore for me i believe. played all the songs i wanted to hear with the exception of that one preston harper skated to in worship friendship.

Yeah! My friend and I were laughing about the keyboard guy too. We couldn't figure him out.

Seemed so bored, like he was kinda annoyed with John Maus at times, but then he'd do something legit funny. Also just walked the fuck off, immediately after the encore.

godspeed you black emperor last weekend. was some bucket list shit for me. it was awesome, 30 bucks. amazing visuals. they are very tight live. played a bit under 2 hours. didn't play some songs i was looking forward to but when every song is 20 minutes long that's not surprising. they mixed certain parts of different songs together in a few places. ended it with the blaise bailey finnegan III, a great closer. very boring opening band that i don't care to remember the name of.
