This is awesome -- EB goes to Taiwan for 6 mo., teaches EFL to some kids, hates it, finds renewed zeal for music. Love this guy!! http://www.dirtylaundry.tv/video/dirty-laundry-eric-bachmann

cool will watch that
kinda bummed they ruined the cover art on Vee Vee for the reissue

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in that too. I like the new one too, but it should have been like the cover for the inside booklet instead, imho.

apparently the original artwork for everything except icky mettle was lost, so they tried to make lemonade

Why doesn't it surprise me that the people at Alias would lose something important like COVER ART? Joke ass label.

haha, okay, I hadn't heard that

YES! After nearly 15 years, I'll finally have a digital copy of "Jive Kata" at my disposal without the pops and hiss of the 7" recording.

I'm about 5% disappointed they didn't play Fashion Bleeds or anything else off WTH at the reunion gig I saw.
― the fey monster (ledge), Thursday, 31 May 2012 19:22 (1 year ago) Permalink
Wow, they didn't even do "White Trash Heroes"? Sucks.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 31 May 2012 19:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
I caught two of their farewell 1998 shows and it was played at one and not the other, so I guess I should consider myself lucky.
i think they played dead red eyes last year? not certain
― mookieproof, Thursday, 31 May 2012 19:33 (1 year ago) Permalink
i saw 2 gigs in chicago, first night they played dead red eyes, next night nothing off of white trash heroes, really wanted to hear "fashion bleeds"

They were basically going for all the fast punchy stuff so it would have fitted right in.

All The Nations Airports...that's one of the big momentum killing records. Coming after Vee Vee it sounded so flat
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 1 June 2012 03:56 (1 year ago) Permalink
In 1996, yeah. Now I really love it.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 1 June 2012 04:21 (1 year ago) Permalink
always loved killer bees > rental sting
but yeah it's a wholly different thing really

was at the show in toronto last night. in addition to the age group that would have been in college or thereabouts during aol's heyday, there were a ton of young people (like, many looked like teenagers), and they were singing along to the songs! what's the deal! just the effect of the internet or...?
eric bachman seemed amused by the moshing and crowdsurfing and related antics.

oh nice. might have to try to do that. and black lips / jonathan toubin at the afterparty (not free).

I saw the Black Lips at a street fest in Chicago last Saturday.

How was it? The last time I saw them live was a while ago. Probably like 2008.
― dmr, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:48 (11 months ago) Permalink
they were fine, I never paid em much heed before. Preferred them to Man or Atro-Man, who went on just before. (but was most relieved it wasn't 103 degrees anymore)
― Pangborn to be Wilde (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 17:05 (11 months ago) Permalink
haha wow Man or Astro-Man are still around. now them I probably haven't seen play since 1996.

Archers were ok, but some of the "here's something from album 3" moments were weak, and the "here's something from album 4" moments even more so. They had to stop by 8, and when they went into "White Trash Heroes" with 4 minutes to go...well, it was a chance for the true fans to beat the crowds going home. Waved hi to morbz (who I believe also bailed during "WTH"). Dudes should have played "What Did You Expect?" or "Traffic"

Finally seeing them tonight (couldn't sort it out last year). FUCKIN STOKED
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 11 August 2012 18:38 (10 months ago) Permalink
They were loose and jovial tonight, and played just about every song I wanted to or thought I might hear. Except Wrong! How you gonna make me wait 14 years since I last saw you and then not play Wrong?
I'm kidding. I'll get over it. Just slightly bummed.
