I would love to see them again, too bad it's the end.
It was brilliant mate... i haven't done a pit like that for years... it was absolutely mental. 9th time i saw them and, yep, the last like you say. Word is that 2 of them fell out majorly and i gotta say that there wasn't too much closeness on show, but the performance was still excellent. Great band... just lost their way unfortunately.
Just got an email saying that there will be a DVD of the Leeds show, just watched the video of "Freedom Fighters" on you tube, awesome. It's so sad - they are so talented and young. Love them and will get that DVD for sure.
I've been awaiting these tour dates from Thee Oh Sees, but now that they're here I am not amused.

I'll probably work that gig... want me to steal some of their dirty laundry or something?
How 'bout if they say, "hey, could you drive us over to the such and such?" and you just kinda drive them across the country instead? It'll be fun...like you're Clark Griswald in Vacation. Christie Brinkley's still hot.

Ha!
Well, they will be performing on an island in the middle of the Bay from which there is only one road off. If you can negotiate for no questions asked transport of a sea air land container to your location, maybe I can accidentally pull a van load of 'em into such a container (Port of Oakland is a stone's throw away and filled with said containers and ships) while they are asleep/incapacitated and... there you go.

Wow!I don't know that I'd seen any recent pics of her...
Incubus tomorrow.
Wednesday I went to a free Lenny Kravitz show at T5. Same deal as Janes did but this was for Samsung/AT&T and some new 4G phone. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan cellphone companies have $$$ to burn!

I am amenable to this solution. creep will be delivering $40,000 U.S. cash on my behalf, with the remaining $60,000 to be delivered upon completion.
I don't recognize 90% of the bands that come through town anymore. I missed TVOTR and Das Racist which sucks. My only big event coming up is the St. Louis Rams season opener next weekend. I'm pretty fucking stoked though to do some tailgating and watch a good game.
Friend of mine got us tix to see A Winged Victory for the Sullen in November. He's really into them and I'm going for the hell of it. Should be pretty interesting though.
So, this is what Maquinaria Festival will look like:
Saturday, November 12
ALICE IN CHAINS
FAITH NO MORE
CHRIS CORNELL
MEGADETH DOWN
BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB
PEPPER DUFF MCKAGAN’S LOADED
MATÍAS AGUAYO
BAG RAIDERS
MIXHELL
THE MAGICIAN
THA BLACK ANGELS
PERROSKY
MATANZA
THE GANJAS
LUIS FLORES
Sunday, November 13
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
SNOOP DOGG
PRIMUS
SONIC YOUTH
CRYSTAL CASTLES
DAMIAN JR. GONG MARLEY
MIYAVI
VIOLADORES DEL VERSO
TIGA
GUI BORATTO
MEMBERS OF MORPHINE AND JEREMY LYONS
ELLEN ALLIEN

SOJA
MOVIMIENTO ORIGINAL
FRANCISCA VALENZUELA
GEPE
I have tickets for both days, but I'm thinking of attending just the 1st day and selling my 2nd ticket. Aside from Sonic Youth in day 2, there's nothing really attractive to me.
My wife and I saw Willie Nile last night on a Rock N River cruise in Annapolis. Limited size so the audience was small. Pulled-pork BBQ sandwiches, ftw!!!
Willie Nile is just a fun entertainer. Not amazing or anything. But you'll have fun.

- November 12-13: Maquinaria Festival. I will definitely see Faith No More (in fact, I bought my ticket because of them), Primus, Sonic Youth, and Gepe. I would be interested in catching a glimpse of Chris Cornell, Snopp Dogg, Megadeth and STP. Duff Mackagan's Loaded is also playing, but I'm not interested at all. And one more headliner is yet to be confirmed.
FNM show in Santiago, Chile in Nov will be KFAD in it's entirety with the original lineup from that record. Trey Spruance on guitar!
i'm not sure how i would feel about that. angel dust i would be all for. king for a day is ok but hopefully they will play more than just that.
Holy motherfucker... I had the feeling they were going to play an album in its entirety (Billy said they were preparing something special), but holy fuckarooneys, I loved this news... there's not one song in that album that I wouldn't want to hear...
Take This Bottle is one of my all time favorites... Ugly in the Morning... Cuckoo... Star AD... The Last to Know... and What a Day... goddamn!
Botellita de Jerez will be playing next week (29th) in New York...I'm not going just thought I'd share this with you: http://ny.remezcla.com/2011/latin/botel ... york-sobs/
They play good music and are funny as hell. I have a blast at their shows.
I'm off to see The Beards tonight at The Espy in Melbourne. Anyone from here who happens to go tonight, come say hello. I'll be wearing a sky blue t-shirt with a pic of Lando Calrissian on it that has "Welcome To Orlando" on it..
