Atoms for Peace

[joyfulgirl]

I have a ticket to the Brooklyn show next weekend that I can't use if anyone is interested in it.

 

[u2popmofo]

I had a ticket for the DC show that I'm not going to be able to attend either.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Poor us.

That is nightmare-worthy.

Going to the VA/DC show on the 30th..

 

[FitzChivalry]

Anyone want to fly out to Cali? I have an extra ticket for their Bowl show.

 

[iron yuppie]

Well this is the douchiest crowd I have seen in quite a while.

 

[LemonMelon]

And I'm not even part of it this time!

Really disappointed that I haven't had an opportunity to see them yet. I'm guessing they won't be on the festival circuit in 2014. Probably getting the follow up to King of Lames instead.

Why do people come to concerts just to drink Heinekens and yell at their bloated friends all night? I hate that shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

Duuuuuuuude FLEA is gonna be on that stage brah

Motherfucking FLEA

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudeeee

 

[iron yuppie]

Oh right. I forgot about Flea.

I wonder if they're saying the same thing about people who come to concerts just to stare at their phones and post on internet message boards.

 

[iron yuppie]

Sure dude. Impeccable wit as always.

Douchebaggery aside, how was the show? I unfortunately saw the setlist from the DC show I was supposed to have been at, and wanted to cry.

Was the DC show and it was fab! I was back at soundboard for the show..

and FLEA was on fire! He is awesome!

Great and a lot of fun. As mentioned above, Flea was totally bad-ass - looked like he and Thom were really enjoying themselves. One of my favorite Thom songs, Radiohead included, is Cymbal Rush; they played a ripping version of that with a super-intense coda. Ingenue was another highlight: it had the piano in the lead, which makes it especially gorgeous.

I can't really say if douchebr0z are necessarily worse than bearded twats who just stand and occasionally nod their heads.

A few years ago I saw Sunset Rubdown and there was this alpha br0 next to me constantly woo-ing and high fiving after like every song (how did this guy even find the band? does Spencer Krug post videos to CollegeHumor?) But the guy was genuinely enjoying himself and shouting along the lyrics (surprisingly he knew all the songs) which is more than I can say for the vast majority of the crowd who didn't seem to give a shit.

What I always wonder is, if we're getting all these br0z at Radiohead shows, what strain of superdouche is in the crowd at Kings of Leon or *shudder* Nickelback?

 

[iron yuppie]

I was overly hard on the crowd, probably because I stood in a line for 45 minutes that I didn't have to stand in. The crowd was really into the show once it started. I'll just never understand why beer is so important that you need to miss substantial parts of the show standing in line waiting to get one, or two, or three, or however many.

This. And can someone explain to me the compulsion to get completely black-out drunk so that you will never remember the concert afterwards?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's called alcoholism.

Well black-out-drunk is probably taking it one step too far but I do believe being drunk can enhance certain concert experiences. I didn't believe that until I saw The Flaming Lips this year whilst being pretty drunk. It was pure bliss. And I can still kind of remember how it went.

For some reason I have near total recall even when I'm completely blasted. I guess that's my superpower.

In spite of this drunken post last night, I finished the half marathon in under 2 hours this morning.
