Now I need to get rich and successful and boring, like my heroes!

I really enjoyed Be Your Own Pet! live way back in the beginning of their career. Am I totally nuts?

No.

I still got a schoolboy crush on Jemina Preal. And still happy I once shaked her hand and talked to her with stars in my eyes for a good 30 minutes. Funny that their show only lasted 20...

notyourfiend 09.22.2009 01:42 PM

She's fucking hot as hell.

I really don't like that "I Hate People" song though.

And she is so sweet and funny in real person. But yeah that song isn't their best and a bit to much.

why hello there.

i'm very on the fence about BYOP (and very "blech" about that i hate people track) but um she's cute.

jnic 09.22.2009 03:10 PM

I'll probably catch some flack for this, but I do have to go with Phish.
I am a very serious fan of their music, hate the scene that surrounds it, I always go to their shows to get off musically.

loubarret 09.22.2009 03:32 PM

Phish is a hated band around here, but I dig them allot.

That are some very skinny pants. I remeber the days I fitted those....

Kraftwerk. By far the best gig ever. Then:
Sonic Youth
Melvins
Pavement
Die Goldenen Zitronen
Bob Dylan
Trail Of Dead.

Well, only if you listened to their recorded output. I can see why they might be fun live.

notyourfiend 09.24.2009 08:30 AM

I saw them live with Sonic Youth in 2006. They put on an AMAZING show. I was seriously blown away.

nicfit 09.24.2009 08:35 AM

sy - ulan bator - zu - kid commando

lots more, many of the bands I like luckily are really good live too.

eternal 09.24.2009 09:58 AM

i don't care what people say, my bloody valentine was the best show i've ever seen.

i could hear and identify all the songs perfectly and YMMR was possibly the best 30 minutes of my life

washer 09.25.2009 02:01 PM

Last night i went to a Kayo Dot concert and it was a truly magnificent experience. Probably one of the most talented bands i'll ever have the privilege to see, and it was even better than what i expected, since most of the songs played were from the first two albums.

atsonicpark 09.25.2009 02:05 PM

The violinist of Kayo Dot... :)

Yeah, that definitely was another high point of the show. :D I also met Toby Driver on the way out of the bathroom, but it kinda felt that wasn't an appropriate place to have a conversation, lol. He seemed to be a cool guy, anyways.
