I'm not doing too badly. The Aussie U2 Show put on a pretty good gig, though from the start the venue had plenty of loud drunks so they were playing to them (at Clifton Hill, they seem to start with a "fan" setlist playing to a fairly small crowd, then by the end they do a hits parade as the venue's filled with loud drunks).

SET ONE
Wake Up intro
1. City Of Blinding Lights
2. Vertigo / That "I want to rock and roll all night and party every day" song (snippet)
3. Elevation
4. Push (snippet) / Until The End Of The World
5. New Year's Day
6. Beautiful Day
7. I Will Follow
8. American Pie (snippet) / Angel Of Harlem
9. One Tree Hill (full 1989-12-26 style, :fuckyeah: )
10. Bad / Sympathy For The Devil (snippet)
11. Desire

SET TWO
12. The Saints Are Coming
13. Sunday Bloody Sunday
14. Sweetest Thing
15. Pride
16. Where The Streets Have No Name

God, I'm predictable.

And hi Ax.

In case you're curious, I had a pint of Guinness and a pint of Kilkenny. I'd say that Kilkenny probably has a better taste, but I found that by the end of it, it got weaker than the Guinness. Plus the Guinness lasts better in the mouth. So overall I'd say I find them relatively equal and I'd order whichever's cheaper.

Beer, by the way, is far too fucking expensive. But at least you get more for the same price you'd pay for a glass of (probably not very good) wine.

What is this about exactly, Ashley?

And hi Ax.

Not a single one of my close friends made plans for my birthday. The only person who even seemed vaguely interested (until I sent a semi-angry text to my friend Megan) was my ex-roomate, who I actually spent a lot of time hating on in my Temple Bar days, though now she and I get along pretty great.

 

[Axver]

Hey Ax, I just found a Phish set that went for nearly EIGHT hours.

Fuuuck, that's impressive. I presume there's a story behind this?

 

[liamcool]

Fuuuck, that's impressive. I presume there's a story behind this?

New Years 2000? XD

 

[Axver]

New Years 2000? XD

You know, as much as I'd love bands like U2 and Porcupine Tree to play longer setlists, I think I'd be fucked after standing and rocking out for eight hours.

Yeah, it'd really fuck you over.

The normal people on the other hand.

Dude, you need to go download Rift. The title track has this really cool vocal interaction thing between Trey and Page going on.

 

[Serena Vox]

That "I want to rock and roll all night and party every day" song (snippet)

Ugh, this just got stuck in my head.

 

[bono_212]

I think I should just go back to bed, this day already needs to start over

 

[Axver]

Yeah, it'd really fuck you over.

Normal people would go buy a beer, sit down, and fall asleep.

I presume this concert, although eight hours long, consisted solely of four songs and the longest drugged-out jam sessions known to man?

I'd get around to it quicker if there were any Phish albums on Sordo.

 

[The Sad Punk]

How much were the pints, Ax?

Hey Ax, I just found a Phish set that went for nearly EIGHT hours.

Pfft, that's nothing. Mark Mallman once did a show that lasted a day or two! Although granted, he isn't as well known outside of Minnesota, and I only know of him from a friend from Minneapolis, but still. Phish's set is very impressive though, especially for a band as well known as they are.

 

[Axver]

Ugh, this just got stuck in my head.

I'm amused that they've snippeted Matchbox 20's Push over the intro of UTEOTW both times I've seen them.

Well.

Which isn't really that long, to be quite honest.

Excuse the quality, but time for another Phish YouTube clip, this time from the worst show in their history!

[Axver]

How much were the pints, Ax?

$6.80 for the Guinness and $7.80 for the Kilkenny.

You live to poison, eh?

 

[Axver]

You live to poison, eh?

No, I just want to rock and roll all night.

Actually, I want to headbang to metal, and probably not all night because that'd leave me feeling rather bad, but close enough.

Can't imagine how your neck would feel in the morning.

Well, headbanging is the only banging he ever does.

 

[The Sad Punk]

$6.80 for the Guinness and $7.80 for the Kilkenny.

Christ! I would have thought they would be the same price, at least. I know it's a way off and maybe somewhat inconvenient, but the P.J. O'Brien's on the Southbank Promendade, assuming it's the same as the one in Adelaide, has $5 pints for both of them on Fridays and I think Saturdays too. That's all I really know as far as Melbourne goes, though! Can't remember how much the pint from that place we went to was.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Well, headbanging is the only banging he ever does.

Bwahahaha!

 

[Irishteen]

So I finally registered my courses...not the ones I wanted but they're okay...

Yeah, it struck me as odd that they were different prices, but what do I know. The place we hit was $8, and at Clifton Hill, $5 - but Guinness was on special all of August, so I've no idea of its normal price.

So I just got owned.

Yeah, that really isn't that long a setlist. It'd be enough to do a 3 hour U2 show. But eight hours? Fuck they must've done some long jams.

That doesn't seem like a bad performance, so why do you call it their worst show?

 

[Serena Vox]

So I finally registered my courses...not the ones I wanted but they're okay...

Hey John.

 

[liamcool]

There kinda isn't meant to be a break in the middle. XD, and some songs were even worse (Down With Disease with Trey playing guitar with glowsticks, the total botch of Glide, urrgh, improvisational songs about various crew members, playing the first part of With in the wrong key, etc, etc.

Yeah, some songs in that set were like, 35, 40 odd minutes.

 

[Axver]

So I finally registered my courses...not the ones I wanted but they're okay...

When did the course selection finally go live? Just now?

 

[Irishteen]

When did the course selection finally go live? Just now?

No it went live about midday...I went to bed at 10am

Hey John.

Hey Serena how are ya?

 

[The Sad Punk]

So I'm trying to see if I should go to the show again tomorrow. It will mainly just be to see the dog breeds, but the program doesn't talk of any specific breeds, just of a "Sunday Special" or something at the Dog pavilion. I'm not sure what that means. Should I risk it and hope they have some kick arse dogs there? Because I might go a couple of days more during the week - definitely this coming Friday, as they're having Newfoundlands then and I hope to talk to a breeder about a deal we could make.

 

[Serena Vox]

Hey Serena how are ya?

Not too bad. Playing Dragon Quest again.
I have some things to do for mum once she gets up.

And you?
