There are some great Crooked Fingers songs but the "Neil Diamond sings Tom Waits" vibe is a bit much

i saw crooked fingers open for neko case and they were p amazing, really won over a crowd that had no idea who bachman was.

some yuppie lady yelled out "YOU'RE AWESOME WHO ARE YOU?" and bachman said "M'am, I'm a grown man" and went into the next song

also features attractive and enthusiastic female fiddler

Just give it a chance if you wrote it off 10 years ago is all I'm saying. If nothing else, attempt to appreciate his instrumental work, which is amazing imo.

"hot shit" is overrated

I was referring mostly to the CF years. Anyway, you guys should give those records a chance. They're good.
i mean bacdafucup if you don't like this -- so pretty

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link

ok thx! i will be watching stubhub, they will definitely end up there

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link

I figured it out. I have an extra ticket - yours if you want it.

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link

cool, i'm in!

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:00 (thirteen years ago) link

thanks for figuring it out so fast!

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:00 (thirteen years ago) link

hahaha np

YAY!

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link

i will prob still watch for a ticket for L--she was indifferent to maybe/kinda/sorta interested--she may also come down to visit friends in brooklyn.

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:01 (thirteen years ago) link

sounds good - I'll be the same - just wanted to make sure the ppl who really wanted to go got the tix for sure :)

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:02 (thirteen years ago) link

cad - if you see a couple reasonably priced tickets then get me one too and we will divide the cost of all 4 between us. i will prob come down to hang either way. i am in the indifferent bracket wrt to this band.

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link

ok i will do that!

call all destroyer, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Um, see you all there! Though I wouldn't know if I did.

Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Friday, 15 April 2011 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link

I feel like this is definitely going to require a FAP afterwards for all who are interested. We can plan nearer the date but I feel like that would be a good idea.

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link

Oh wait, I'm going Sunday to the Webster show. :/

Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Friday, 15 April 2011 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link

:(

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link

ENBB, Friday, 15 April 2011 18:03 (thirteen years ago) link

the zing cheese incident (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 15 April 2011 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link

haha i thought about getting tix to both ny shows but as it is i think the one show is the most expensive ticket i've bought since seeing prince

mookieproof, Saturday, 16 April 2011 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link

housedress? maxidress! (La Lechera), Monday, 18 April 2011 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link

holding out for the small (23) reunion now

mookieproof, Monday, 2 May 2011 01:58 (thirteen years ago) link

using it as an excuse to go home to dc

fauxmarc, Monday, 2 May 2011 02:03 (thirteen years ago) link

Small 23 reunion? Ha, won't draw much of a crowd.

Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Monday, 2 May 2011 03:55 (thirteen years ago) link

c'mon true zero hook rocks

chopsocky?

mookieproof, Monday, 2 May 2011 04:03 (thirteen years ago) link

Strapping Fieldhands are great too but I went to their show at Cake Shop and the crowd was practically me and the opening acts.

Wacky Way Lounge (Evan), Monday, 2 May 2011 04:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Ok Chicago better give me some ELBOW ROOM because I forgot how ridiculous fun it is to dance to "Harnessed in Slums"
It's not the 90s anymore and I am not too cool to dance

deez m'uts (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link

coo coo khal (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 15:10 (thirteen years ago) link

coo coo khal (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 15:11 (thirteen years ago) link

deez m'uts (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 15:14 (thirteen years ago) link

that might be cool but i am hitching a ride w/someone so i'm now sure what his itenerary is and stuff

coo coo khal (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link

you don't have to hang out with me the whole time or anything -- don't worry ;)
no pressure, lemme know

i can see how you might be apprehensive about having anything to do with the person who just finished saying get outta my way this (making a square) is dance space haha

deez m'uts (La Lechera), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link

NYC people and those nearby can try to get in and see them play Jimmy Fallon on 6/24. I'll have to settle for watching at home.
