I always found the Axver-Liam setlist spouts oddly entertaining. I was tempted to join in until I realized they were much better than I was.

Still, I find setlist trivia fun anyway.

Oh man, those are fun. I still can't get over that one where Liam made up a Virgin Prunes song name and still got the thing right. I reckon he's bullshitting there and knew the song.

Setlist trivia FTMFW.

 

[the tourist]

Should be only a year to go now though.

True!

 

[Axver]

Well, ungodly times haven't stopped Varitek, have they?

NOTHING stops Varitek. She is my postwhoring hero.

 

[the tourist]

NOTHING stops Varitek. She is my postwhoring hero.

Nothing but sex, which she's probably having right now.

Where have the Taumatians gone?

I was just making lunch and seeing what else was happening on the Internet. Precisely nothing, that's what.

 

[phillyfan26]

Varitek is an inspiration to us all.

 

[the tourist]

Varitek is an inspiration to us all.

Because of the sex?

Because of the sex?

No, the postwhoring.

But the sex certainly makes it better. M I RITE??

 

[the tourist]

No, the postwhoring.

But the sex certainly makes it better. M I RITE??

But I have sex and postwhore.

The difference?

I'm a boy.

Well, it's an Aussie Lovetown gig, the Waltzing Matilda snippet gives that away ... it's not any of the shows in Perth or Adelaide or Brisbane either. I don't think it's a Sydney one either.

Process of elimination: 7 October 1989, Melbourne?

 

[the tourist]

That setlist would be amazing. They should do that exact setlist again someday....

 

[Axver]

Nothing but sex, which she's probably having right now.

I have no doubt that one of these days, she'll postwhore while having sex.

 

[phillyfan26]

But I have sex and postwhore.

Yes. Varitek's inspiration comes out of that mostly. I don't think this ragtag group would have lasted as all men. Balance was achieved.

 

[Axver]

It's good, but I think Lovetown had a number of much better sets.

Incidentally, TranceEnding was at that show. Yes, I am jealous.

Bingo.

Right after I posted, I noticed the Waltzing Matilda snippet.

 

[the tourist]

I have no doubt that one of these days, she'll postwhore while having sex.

She'll give us updates:

"He's only sucking on my nipples, so I thought I'd post..."
"He's going at me doggy-style, so I just set up the computer on the bed for something to do...."

etc.

 

[the tourist]

I guess you're not around often when Ali or Jen are here?

 

[phillyfan26]

But they're not around at all hours like Varitek is.

 

[Axver]

Bingo.

Right after I posted, I noticed the Waltzing Matilda snippet.

Don't worry, that wasn't much of a clue besides narrowing down the country (which had 23 of 47 shows!). I didn't find or add that snippet myself and I actually don't recall seeing it before. Matthias might have added it recently. As that set is fairly generic Lovetown-wise, I had to use process of elimination. I mainly knew what it couldn't be.

 

[the tourist]

It's good, but I think Lovetown had a number of much better sets.

Incidentally, TranceEnding was at that show. Yes, I am jealous.

But still, that setlist is probably better than 95% of what's come after it.

 

[the tourist]

True story.

 

[Axver]

She'll give us updates:

"He's only sucking on my nipples, so I thought I'd post..."
"He's going at me doggy-style, so I just set up the computer on the bed for something to do...."

etc.

I can see that happening, you know.

 

[phillyfan26]

Axver, I know you have your ideal setlists and all, but what's your favorite set that U2 actually did?

Me too, actually. That's why I said it.

 

[Axver]

Hell yes. This alone makes it worth it:

The Unforgettable Fire
God Part II
Desire
All Along The Watchtower

FUCK YEAH.

Any of those songs would be amazing. Just one. Any of them. But no fucking pansy half ass Desire.
