sad to hear michael gira wasn't his usual bubbly self

he wasn't being a prima donna or an asshole or anything, he was just justifiably upset with some of the sound and then i'm pretty sure the band missed some cues at a certain point, which has to be frustrating.

oh shit really? i completely forgot about that band
― goole, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:24 (eleven years ago) link
i'm still so pissed off at what they've done to ruin the sound at the 400 bar i'm not even going to see one of my favorite bands ever (MoB)....fucking dicks ugggg the archers show sound was soooo bad
― jalapeno kloppers (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
what changed? i never much liked that bar but i don't remember it sounding great like ever
― goole, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 16:28 (eleven years ago) link
trans am gave me hearing damage there, so when i'm famous they'll put a plaque on the wall for that
well it used to sound "Ok"...basically they built a new wall dividing the stage part of the room from the bar part...which totally fucked up the acoustics and blocks off all the sightlines from the bar side....like just go! it's the most retarded renovation i've ever seen in my life

that's crazy, i remember when they opened it up even more than it was (i think?)

i mean it's burma...i also really hate the bigger sullivan brother because of a personal interaction when we played there so i'm kinda biased.
― jalapeno kloppers (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:01 (eleven years ago) link
i mean it's burma
yeah I don't even care how shitty it sounds, I sorta have to go? gonna get there earlyish so I can position myself for "optimum" acoustic reception though.
― *rad hug eomticon* (Control Z), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
i'd go up front...probably....the whole thing sounds like a garage now!
i saw burma at the main room for the first reunion tour and it was godlike

I haven't even heard their latest album. Tbqh I go to hear the old-time MoB hits. "Academy Fight Song"!!!!!!!!

yeah i sorta did, too, but i guess that's what happens when a band doesn't do anything for 7 or 8 years

Of course you were right, M.H., but Burma in a garage with terrible sound still > no Burma at all, to me anyway. "That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3.

Torn between Converge @ Varsity and Brute Heart @ Cedar (w/screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) on 10/19. Help me figure out which will be the more Totes PWNING Awesome Show, guys.
― *rad hug eomticon* (Control Z), Friday, 5 October 2012 11:55 (eleven years ago) link
kinda bummed i didn't go to burma, heard it was great
also heard bob weston did a lot to make it sound considerably better than the archers show from ppl that were at both
― farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 October 2012 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
so as long as bands have a member that's a respected sound engineer and producer they should be fine!
― farte blanche (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 5 October 2012 17:24 (eleven years ago) link
@ Burma I was stood in front on the Clint side and honestly the sound was pretty bad right there, but I didn't care.

Oh man the Selby Tigers! <3 Arzu.
I missed Com Truise and Mike Watt but am going to see Brute Heart perform an instrumental soundtrack to "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" at the Cedar tomorrow. (Was tempted to go see Converge at, I think, the Varsit, instead, but am feeling elderly this week.)

i saw that brute heart "dr. caligari" thing in the park and i didn't really like it tbh :/
Aw. I enjoyed it last night, and would like to see Brute Heart again.
― *rad hug eomticon* (Control Z), Saturday, 20 October 2012 18:02 (eleven years ago) link
That show sounded interesting but I ended up not going. I saw Brute Heart last month when they opened for Maria Minerva and liked them though, I'd see them again too.

Yeah, it is a bit, but I like Grimes so for me it'd be worth going.

oh fucking hell i totally forgot abt the jandek show
― I'M THE ONLY ON (jjjusten), Wednesday, 24 October 2012 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
i had actually forgot to buy tickets and wasn't going to go but a friend called and she snagged one for me so i drove down in spite of knowing i'd miss half the set. it was a pretty subdued show, shadowy sounding, and jandek hid behind a piano for most of it. still, it was great. some yahowa 13 grooves (idk maybe i'm a little off there) + awesome horn work + jandek doing his thing. really glad i made it.
