A friend won tickets to see a live taping of Mr. Conan O'Brien's show tomorrow night at the Chicago Theatre, and I'm going. Pretty damn excited. I've never been to a live taping of any kind of talk show or TV show before.

When do we do our "first half of 2012" music thread? I need everyone to tell me where I fucked up and recommend some great music.

Porn for people who wouldn't know good writing if it beat them like Chris Brown.
I read it for the lulz, and there were MANY. Then I was depressed.

One of my friends on the book of face went to a Nickelback concert.
I think this friendship is over.
Wait, were they kidnapped and the Nickelback concert just happened to be the kidnapper's idea of torture? I would probably forgive your friend if this is the case. And maybe check to see if they're OK.

Oh dear. You just might be from different planets if...
I went to Letterman twice through a friend who kept getting tickets because she worked in PR. I found it weird that Letterman did not talk to the guest during the commercials. The guest just sat there and Letterman looked at his notes or looked around the room awkwardly. Then the camera came back on and Dave acted like they were buddies again. I guess he's just socially awkward or something. But it was quite fun.
Details, please.

Heh, this doesn't surprise me at all.
End of the month.

Radiohead mega-fans can generally recognize what song they'll play based on the instrument set up.

Yep. "There There!!" came flying out of my mouth like a big jerk when Ed's drums appeared. I seemingly had no control over this outburst.

My iPod has Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix in the wrong order for some reason, so it ends on Love Like a Sunset 1 & 2. I think it really works.
Yeah. It was funny when The 2 played Ultraviolet in Brisbane, and me and Danny went off the second Bono said "sometimes..." and we were the only people we could see who even recognised it once Edge came in

I've heard you can always pick There There because about 40 sets of drumkits come out on stage.

Yep, I knew EITRP was next as soon as they wheeled out that big-ass keyboard.
And yeah, there are four drummers on There There, though not necessarily at the same time.

One of my favorite live-album moments is on I Might Be Wrong: when they launch into Spinning Plates, which apparently was the first time they had ever played that arrangement, about thirty seconds in someone yells "that's Spinning Plates!!!"

I did not, however, recognize the "The One I Love" intro to EIIRP at all, even after half the audience did. I had to look it up online when I got home. I blame the acoustics where I was sitting and my earplugs.

Lots of "dancing" to popular songs. And by dancing, I mean awkward, jerky movements whilst looking hesitatingly at your BFF who rehearsed more than you, or just has her shit more together. Then there's the painful, way-off-key singing to other popular songs, some of which have slightly inappropriate lyrics. I like he pianists; well, the ones who practice anyway, and the martial arts siblings are always cool. The boy who can robot dance like nobody's business is fun every year.joyfulgirl said:
But that off-key singing and the jumpy dancing make me check the time more than I should as a role model.

grrr. Someone at work who's had a shoulder injury similar to mine suggested I wear a sling, to take the weight of my arm off my shoulder so it would feel better. Been wearing the sling for 30 minutes now. Shoulder still feels like hell. I wasn't expecting immediate relief, but thought after 30 minutes or so it'd start feeling a little better. No. No dice. 
I'm not annoyed at the suggester, I'm just annoyed that I am getting no relief. 6 more days till I see the surgeon. Then I'll have it sorted.

Since I download everything (and then some) illegally, I have all kinds of shit on my iPod that's out of order because people are FUCKING IDIOTS and won't bother to tag things before uploading it. Shouldn't complain about free shit, but come on. It takes a minute or two to go from hero to asshole.
Any idea why my iPod classic might just, like, not play stuff sometimes? When I upload new things to it these days, sometimes it just skips all but one or two tracks from the new album. It's strange and infuriating, especially if I'm about to go somewhere with it and uh, yeah, nothing. This tends to happen more when I don't let it synchronize for an hour.
Sorry that I unloaded all of this Apple rage on you guys.

That's why I always check the tracklisting.
Though I'll always maintain Alligator is better in alphabetical order, as it was when I downloaded it.

Funny you say this, as I am just now listening to City Middle and thinking how brilliantly it works in the penultimate spot.

I was in a High Violet place the other night.
That's a really, really shitty place to be, but I'm glad the Nash was around.

You know when you post something on a friend's facebook wall you think is funny, but then a minute later you realise it isn't, but you can't delete it because it'll make it worse? That just happened to me. What a terrible start to the day.
