    Taylor Swift IS the new Arya Stark!

    I loved the film. I went to the old people's showing on Sunday morning, so the most activity came from me, seat-dancing and singing (in the back where no one could hear me).

    Random Music Talk CXXXI: Interference Finally Gets Its Revenge on Cobbler

    It was so great to see you again, and to hear one of my favorite debut rock records in its entirety. A fantastic show. I'm still laughing at Justin Hawkins' antics and historical digressions.

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    With reviews like this, consistently, across the US , Ireland, and the UK, this is hardly a band ready for retirement. All the songs from Frankenstein and Laugh Track that I've heard live sound amazing. I'm excited to see them yet again when they head back my way after the UK/Europe leg in...

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    I was at Homecoming, and the sorta botched announcement about the record drop (which you can see on IG) was hilarious. I'm still not sure if it's tonight or tomorrow night. Matt and Aaron indicated last night that they aren't really sure either. A few hundred lucky people were able to buy...

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    What a lovely offer but I am in NM. I looked into tickets and flights as late as yesterday and, while it is doable, I decided I might go to their Homecoming weekend instead, so it just was getting crazy expensive. The two Denver shows were the only time I've been in the pit for them because I...

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    Aaron said in an interview recently something to the effect that though the recording sessions started out slow and difficult, once they had a breakthrough the songs came pouring out, and that he felt like they had enough songs for a Kid A/Amnesiac situation. I have heard 7 or 8 new songs on...

    Nice! I’m here for three of the four.

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    You might lose your mind with happiness. Last night’s show was brilliant. The new songs suddenly sounded like National classics. I could nearly cry just thinking they almost broke up, so I’m really grateful the new record saved them.

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    Unfortunately, I agree with you all on the new record. But given that Matt was struggling with both writer's block and what sounds like a pretty severe depression, I feel like this is the record they had to make. I do love the opening song, This Isn't Helping, and Eucalyptus, and I'd probably...

    Ha, just came here to post this link. Really great piece I read with my morning coffee.

    U2 to Perform First Concerts at MSG Sphere in Las Vegas

    For people seeing only the $1000+ tickets, be sure you've unchecked the Platinum box in the filter so you only see VF tickets. I thought Platinum was all that was left until I did that and then it was easy to see the VF tickets. Of course, in some cases Platinum may actually be all that is...

    U2 to Perform First Concerts at MSG Sphere in Las Vegas

    I can get you a ticket for 11/4, section 305? I mean, are these tickets transferable? The whole thing is so confusing. Except sometimes it won't let you buy just one ticket. Anyway, I finally got a ticket for 11/4. I am so mad about the whole process I almost said screw it. Had to do this in...

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    It's now the third night of the tour since they added a Friday night date (on sale next Thursday). I will be there on Sunday as well. I might still try for Fri and/or Sat since I am making it a Chicago weekend with friends and other stuff to do there. I tried for Sat this morning and got...

    Random Music Talk CXXX: The AFL Finally Gets Revenge on Meat Loaf

    I almost mentioned that but I couldn't remember exactly how it happened the second time. There was also that time I passed by a bunch of people waiting for Robert Smith as I was heading back to my car, so I hung out for about a half hour, got bored, decided 'this is stupid,' went back to my...

    Random Music Talk CXXX: The AFL Finally Gets Revenge on Meat Loaf

    I don't know if this is a rule with band members who have side projects, or just a courtesy, but it's the same with Jack White. If he's touring as Jack White, he plays anything from any of his collaborations. But if he's touring with Dead Weather or Raconteurs, they only play their own songs...

    Random Music Talk CXXX: The AFL Finally Gets Revenge on Meat Loaf

    Ok, so here's what happened. I'd heard that the band was signing stuff for fans by the tour bus every night, but I knew I wasn't going to do that. It's never a goal for me, though it has happened a couple of times by chance. But I generally tend to abide by the "never meet your idols" advice...

    Random Music Talk CXXX: The AFL Finally Gets Revenge on Meat Loaf

    Hey guys. I was lucky to see The Smile a few weeks ago. While it took about 15 Radiohead shows to hear Fake Plastic Trees, it only took one The Smile show to meet Thom, sorta by accident. He was lovely, and I'm here to report that the rumors of his prickliness have been greatly exaggerated. Or...

    Random Music Talk CXXX: The AFL Finally Gets Revenge on Meat Loaf

    Hey, guys. :wave: Just popping in to say that I've been lucky to see more than my fair share of live music in this strange year, but the absolute, most unexpected, highlight was Jack White playing Love is Blindness. Crying at a Jack White show was nowhere in my consciousness as even a remote...

    Why wasn't I at this show instead of pulling weeds in my yard. :huh:

    Arcade Fire. Formal wear or costumes only please.

    And that Dublin received them last night with "rapturous applause" according to one headline, and that they opened with Wake Up and left the stage to Stand By Me. A lot of fans were conflicted about going, many seemed not to know about the allegations or heard something vague about them at the...

    Arcade Fire. Formal wear or costumes only please.

    Unfortunately, my ticket is nonrefundable and nontransferable—have to show up with ID at Will Call to claim it, a risk I fully understood. Obviously I am not going. Maybe they'll cancel the tour like Ryan Adams did. I don't know why I even bought the damn thing. Have not liked their recent...

    The National: Sunshine on My B&Ck

    I assumed it was more like an art installation, where you wander in and out as you please? Stay for a few rounds and be on your way? It's not a favorite song of mine by any means.
