Maybe he's dead.

Did what?

Ok, they were interviewing Simon during the 7th inning....I'm curious of his....mental clarity? While he was talking. He was very interesting.

Okay, so this mustache I bought for my Daniel Plainview costume totally came with an eye-patch.

1970s David Bowie from the Ziggy Stardust Tour would be very pleased.

Actually, the same thing happened to me when I wore an eyepatch. It was always, "Look, Bowie's bumped into a door again!"

Wear the eyepatch, Bret. Wear the funky, funky eyepatch. Goodbye, Bret.

I can't recall the last time I heard the guy speak.

Khan would probably know.

What's so pivotal about the action of the raconteurs?

Daniel Plainview costume?

For a history project called Decades Day. We take a character or style from a certain decade, dress up, make a poster, and walk around school lookin' like badasses.

He sounded like he was high is what I'm saying. It was weird. And the baseball announcer, usually very talkative, got really quiet after he started explaining the history of the song Take Me Out to the Ball Game, as he learned from Wikipedia, since, before last week, he didn't even know how the song went (this is only the second baseball he's ever even been to, he's a cricket fan)

When the Raconteurs finished their album, they decided to rush release it ASAP, so that leaks could be avoided as much as possible. The album was announced, and next thing you knew, it was out.

The media monkeys and the junky junkies will always invite you to the plastic pantamime. Just throw the invites away.

And don't be afraid to do something completely outrageous.

OOOOH! I thought they were saying, hey look, they told people when the album was coming out and I was just kind of like

 

[phanan]

And it's a great album, too.

So, you showed your penis to the man from the greeting card company.

 

[Axver]

So, I just read that two shows into the US leg of their current tour, The Cure had already done 48 unique songs.

U2 struggle to play more than 48 unique songs on an ENTIRE TOUR.

 

[LMP]

Radiohead's been messing with their sets the way I wish U2 would.

Keeping the same group of songs, shifting the order every night, playing a rarity every night.

I've used up all my good advice. In fact, I've lost total confidence in my ability to help people.

 

[Axver]

I think the ultimate person for varied setlists is Neil Finn. I believe that on Crowded House's current tour, they've played almost every song the Crowdies have ever released, plus some new songs and covers. The Finn Brothers tour in 2005 had serious variety too.

 

[phillyfan26]

Springsteen does sets well. I got to see songs like Candy's Room at the show I went to.

I still want to see Jungleland or Backstreets live at a Bruce show.

I'm useless.

Yeah, Bruce doing Darkness and Born to Run in their entireties in one show is insane.

 

[Axver]

Oh yes, Springsteen's sets are amazing as well.

U2, are you taking notes?

I think someone said for the rest of the tour after his organist, Danny Frederici, died, Springsteen played 60+ different songs. I think that was five or six shows, I'm too lazy to look. But I'm beating the horse on this topic now I know. Springsteen's just making me jealous now is all. I just wish U2 would do something exciting. Shake it up a little.

I enjoyed his explanation as to why he did Darkness first.

U2, are you taking notes?

Or they could take notes from the 1989 version of themselves.

 

[bono_212]

And I see I was the third to mention that, so it just proves how amazing.

Has the boot for that show turned up yet?

 

[phanan]

Has the boot for that show turned up yet?

Yes, but just ok quality.

There are links in the Springsteen thread.

 

[LMP]

Thanks.

I'll hold out for some better quality ones then.
