Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:14am G:

Go for it, J. Hey, purple/black uniforms, raven/crow animal mascot on helmet, Poe allusion. You ain't gonna get much gothier than that out of something as mainstream-culture as an NFL team
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:15am G:

after the 30 minute blackout in the stadium (eerie touch), I thought it would never end
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:16am Therese:

Hi all! And yes, I think I may be channeling Julie this evening...
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:16am Matt from Springfield:

@amEdeo: Yes, you can come out now.

@Julie: I imagine a Goth Bowl would be a dance fight with way too many colored lights and FX, and you couldn't tell the teams apart because they all wear black clothing and white face paint.

"Disintegration" has come up in conversation several times today.

Great avatar, BGZ!

we're off to a very good start
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:19am BadGuyZero:

Thanks Matt! It's a t-shirt I own, but shrunk to tiny avatar size it kind of looks like Jack Skellington.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:24am BadGuyZero:

In a box somewhere I have a can of shaving powder and a thing of eye shadow that purportedly belonged to Robert Smith. The "modern rock" station in Dallas launched around the time The Cure came through on the "Disintegration" tour and they had a contest to win various items that were [supposedly] given to the station by Robert. I really wanted his PJs but somebody else ended up getting them. :sad trombone:
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:24am Tome:

hi Therese, hi ya kiddles...really liking this Portishead number too.,.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:25am amEdeo:

You are the only person I have ever met with their very own sad trombone player. I applaud you.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:26am BadGuyZero:

Was I the only one of us acting like a maniac when "m b v" was released yesterday?

[probably]
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:26am Droll:

You are the only person I have ever met who needed sad trombones to talk about Robert Smith's PJs.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:28am BadGuyZero:

@amEdeo: The sad trombone player used to accompany me at all times but I had to scale back on hiring her once she joined the STPU [Sad Trombone Players' Union].
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:28am amEdeo:

Are you kidding? People were going crazy right and left and right again, all over the place in the electronic streets of the internet.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:29am G:

@BGZ: gothamist.com's story on the MBV release today seemed to indicate there was a not minuscule demo quite interested last evening when it was released
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:30am G:

STPU, not to be confused with STFU (which is my Meyers Briggs)
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:30am Matt from Springfield:

Admittedly eye shadow would be more relevant to Robert Smith than his PJs. Wait...did he ever wear those PJs in a music video??!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:31am Julie:

Wow Therese, killing it tonight with the upside down bat sounds
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:31am KP:

Hi, Therese.

Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:35am Droll:

BGZ, I screamed like a schoolgirl and dropped what I was doing when I heard mbv was finally released. I like it, so I expect the reviews should be unusually cruel.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:35am KP:

BGZ, i think you can attest i was talking Robert Smith earlier in day.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:36am Matt from Springfield:

WOW! But aw hell, now I want his copy of that Beano!!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:36am BadGuyZero:

@G: I think Julie can attest to the absolute tizzy I was in yesterday while trying to get that new MBV record.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:36am BadGuyZero:

Oh snap...KP and I just both used the word "attest." *hee!*
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:36am KP:

Hey this is them. Ithought the first track was.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:37am Matt from Springfield:

@Droll: How do you think it compares to their previous albums? A lot of reviewers online seemed to compare the latest MBV with previous works.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:37am KP:

THere will be attest later.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:38am Julie:

the frenzy over the MBV album from people who don't even like them kinda soured my excitement
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:38am G:

Sorry, BGZ, it took me a couple minutes to see your comment. I was gazing at my shoes :)
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:38am Andrew Waterloo:

I bought it, I really like it, I was curious about what the reaction would look like, wasn't overly excited myself.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:38am G:

and I'm barefoot, so that took some doing
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:39am BadGuyZero:

I was hitting the F5 button like I was playing Galaga. I caught the site just as it went live then experienced the crash when trying to add the vinyl/CD/digital bundle to my shopping cart. The next few hours really made me question exactly what the hell I'm doing with my life.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:39am Julie:

Chile? she's broadcasting from Chile!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:39am G:

Chili tonight, hot tamale.

There was a creepy Paul Harvey "God made a farmer commercial" that has to be seen to be believed.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:40am BadGuyZero:

Yesterday #MBV was trending higher than "Super Bowl" on Twitter.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:40am Matt from Springfield:

Ciudad Gersia, Chile.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:40am Droll:

Julie, My reaction to all the hype was "where were all these fans in the 90's?" My friends all hated my shoegaze collection in the 90's.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:41am Andrew Waterloo:

The Paul Harvey commercial was a direct rip off of a Youtube video
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:41am Julie:

@Droll I think when people saw how it was getting buzz, they jumped on board
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:41am BadGuyZero:

@Andrew: I guess I haven't seen said YouTube clip. I thought it was Jerry Fallwell speaking.

I'm bandwagon phobic. Didn't take much for me to simply do something else for a few hours while the 403 error worked itself out.

Lush was GREAT at Lolla '92 outside of D.C. although I missed a big chunk of their set. Ice Cube was terrible.

Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:46am BadGuyZero:

I remember hearing that Ice Cube's crew were selling bootlegged tour laminates to people on Lolla 92.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:46am Julie:

Therese you're making me want some Harold Budd now!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:46am Matt from Springfield:

@Julie: Always have some Harold Budd around. Always!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:48am G:

@Droll: George and the P-Funk All-Stars were on the 94 tour. I have tales from the second Dallas show.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:52am Matt from Springfield:

@BGZ: I presume the original Parliament broke up beyond repair? That must be the lineup that appeared with George in 1994's "PCU".
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:53am Matt from Springfield:

@KP: I have alternately bare feet and slippers to gaze at.

Toilet paper EVERYWHERE. Looked like a house on Halloween. Ok. Not that bad. But still. Was not expecting that and.... stuff... ok not going into it anymore.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:56am Pete from Boston (and NJ):

I spent my 21st birthday at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park seeing Lush. If I could have picked a band to have play on that birthday they'd be on a very short list. They were excellent as usual. An unimportant act called Weezer opened.

At Lollapalooza '92 I felt like they won the award for band that put those enormous stacks of speakers to the best use. The sound was like a steady wind. I remember it vividly.

I miss Lush.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:56am KP:

Never heard this cover. Thanks
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 12:57am Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Cocteau Twins?

I don't see anything in their wiki article or on their website about touring...
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:03am BadGuyZero:

@MK: I think it's just Robin Guthrie and Mark Gardener.

well its actually robin guthrie trio and mark gardner from ride
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:04am Andrew Waterloo:

This is a really good Nadja album

Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:06am BadGuyZero:

@Andrew: I'm envious.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:07am Andrew Waterloo:

Yah.. Waterloo rarely gets good shows.. but we have a thing for location.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:07am Matt from Springfield:

Will Robin Guthrie be playing spacey guitar riffs at least?
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:07am Matt from Springfield:

@Andrew: You'd think they'd all be lining up to play in that gristmill.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:08am Andrew Waterloo:

Well.. it is centrally located.. but you have to go a block down the street to go to the bathroom

I have to say Swans is another significant comeback story.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:14am BadGuyZero:

That thing I said earlier about this probably being one of Nadja's shorter songs? I take it back. *HA!*
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 1:16am BadGuyZero:

@Andrew: I saw Swans a couple of years ago and it was one of the most emotionally intense shows I've experienced. There was this feeling that Michael Gira was going to become unhinged at any moment and annihilate us all.
Avatar Mon. 2/4/13 1:18am Marmalade Kitty:

so I have Robin Guthrie trio with Mark Gardner to look forward to on valentines day! Mark Gardner was a pin up 20 years ago.. It'll be interesting to see how he is doing :)

Has anyone heard of the band Syd Arthur? I hadn't, but have booked up to see 'em for the name alone :) Barrett Lee! Ive listened to a couple of songs since; one I liked and one I didn't so I'll wait and see!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:02am BadGuyZero:

@KP: I've never seen nor heard B&S. I wouldn't think it would be a difficult task to replicate that sound. Just not in a festival setting.

@MK: I haven't heard of them. What type of sounds are they making?

On Monkees' recent tour they sort of started with what seemed like the Boyce & Hart movie that has been in works.

As someone who has professionally installed devices that utilize a pilot light I can attest that most gas devices now have a sensor that shuts the gas off if the pilot light goes out. I think the building will be fine.

@amEdeo: Lies! I've been in that building and lots of stuff is newer than 1930s. I've told you a million times to quit exaggerating.

@MK: I looked Syd Arthur up, and oddly in the wiki article for the Lounge on the Farm festival held in Canterbury annually since 2006, SA is listed as playing every year, but are just about the only band listed that doesn't have a wiki page...

BGZ: That building was a cheap inflatable ploy, that we bring out every year for the marathon. The real station is a shack out in the parking lot. Our servers are powered by hamsters roasting cocktail weenies. Don't ask how it works. I only work here.

The elevator might be from the 30s. That thing was making scary noises. When we were taking Best Show swag next door to the post office I opted for the stairs.

I started taking it recently... it's not TOO bad. As long as you don't jump up and down a lot while it's moving. That's no good. Or so I hear.
Avatar Mon. 2/4/13 2:16am Marmalade Kitty:

thanks for that info, G! I agree with hit and miss, BGZ!

@amEdeo: There was a movie on TV earlier that I think you would have loved: "Body Slam." www.imdb.com...
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:18am Julie:

It's when it doesn't move that it gets scary...leave it to me to get stuck in there at 3am

I know someone who didn't use any NYU elevator for years (fortunately, worked on the 4th floor), and didn't use the subway either (the train stops in the tunnel sometimes). Fortunately over that in recent years...

Great show Therese!

MK, +1.

@G the NYU elevators are hell, we're talking 25-30 people in them at the same time. I wrecked my knees walking down the stairs to avoid them. I'm not claustrophobic, but when things stop moving, I start to wonder if they will start again!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:24am BadGuyZero:

I love The Explorer Club's cover of "No Good To Cry." I hope they perform it on Michael's show this Saturday.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:25am Therese:

Thanks, MK!

Sorry that I haven't been more active here tonight. I'm over hear having elevator nightmares. And I'm awake! And I haven't taken the elevator today!

@Therese: Grab a torch and take the stairs. :)
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:27am Therese:

Oh for sure, BGZ!
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:27am BadGuyZero:

I do realize that with a purse and laptop and whatever else you have that stairs may not be a feasible option.

I was once trapped inside a bathroom, way back when I lived in a SRO. A pile of paintings fell over RIGHT in front of my bathroom door. Had to scream for help. It was not my finest of hours.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:30am G:

The person I'm mentioning got caught on an NYU elevator a few times for anywhere from a few minutes to maybe half an hour (not in Main or a classroom building), then started walking up and down four flights for about a decade (roughly the 90s). They renovated the elevators and eventually, and they got another try. They're better now. In that one building.
Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:31am amEdeo:

That SRO also caught on fire once while I was there.... fun times.

Avatar ♥   Mon. 2/4/13 2:36am BadGuyZero:

I used to work in a building that had elevators that would stop one or two feet above or below the floor and also sometimes continue to move once the doors opened. I was terrified of those elevators [worked on the 11th floor] especially after Jerry Fuchs died. I got laid-off a few months after Jerry died so it became a non-issue.
