July 18th: The Decemberists vs. The Comas

OK – so the Decemberists will be at Grant park on the 18th. They will have an orchestra and I’m not sure what they’ll be playing, but it’s sure to be a gigantic sound wrought with whimsical references and flutes.

Fuck them. Aren’t you sick of their whiny shit yet?

The Comas will be playing SubT that night and that’s where I’ll be. Links to their Virb Page (with THE ENTIRE ALBUM in good quality MP3s for DOWNLOAD or stream) and a few LIVE VIDEOS (after an ad).

Andy Herod and Nicole Gehweiler (Comas leads) are sci-fi buffs who rock the fuck out. Come support new music – don’t be a closet hipster harboring a secret civil war reenactment fetish. Fucking flutes.

By: Dana - Issues: If we were to steal the Jeep, we should probably get it tonight and leave from the burbs in the morning. I would be interested in stopping in Madison on the way back and perhaps catching some early din din with friends. Matt are we being total jerks and overrunning your trip?

By: jj - What happened to the 'I'm listening to this' crap? Tom turned me onto the new Islands. The second half of the album is good in an old destroyer sort of way. The first half is more poppy, but still good. Also - the new Spiritualized is lovey-dovey-druggy good.

By: Joe - I'm enjoying the Blind Pilot album.

By: Lauren - Dana, if you want to drive up separately, we could look into jeep theft and go a little earlier than Matt and Dona. We'd still get to snowboard/hang-out together for a few hours. More $on gas tho.

By: LB2 - I'm not the biggest fan of night skiing either so if you two get a vehicle I'm in.

By: martellion - I'm enjoying the new animal collective and robyn hitchcock. anybody else interested in his show on april 18th @ epiphany?

By: Matty H - You're being a jerk. Your sisters aren't, though. No, it's all good. Dona was the one who messed up all the time and stuff. She's trying to see if she can move her brunch to Sunday so we might be able to leave in the AM now. It sounds like you guys might want to drive separate regardless?

By: tommyslax - STOP TEMPTING GRAVITY!

By: tommyslax - Sunset - The Glowing City is tops for me right now. The new Stereolab, Chemical Chords, has been on repeat for a while too.

By: tommyslax - Seriously, every last one of you should find this record. The Glowing City. by {{{Sunset}}} It is fantastic. Here's a couple reviews: http://www.austinsound.net/2008/08/14/sunset-the-glowing-city-autobus/ http://tinymixtapes.com/Sunset,6667 It's hard to compare it to anything, it has a bit of a Bowie/Kinks vibe, and whoever plays guitar definitely steals a few tricks from Jonny Greenwood, but it's really jammed with tons of engaging and multi-faceted parts and hooks galore. It's long, but there's not much wasted movement or repetition. It's exactly what a rock record should be, and will probably be my #1 at the end of the year.

cool your jets jj.

Decemberists play 6:30 – 8pm, the Comas concert starts at 8:30pm with an opener.

There is room in this world for whimsical sci-fi dork soldiers who rock the flute off of closet doors.

jj 06.29.07 / 10am

God damn. I thought Dana rocked. Oops, my mistake.

If you know what’s good for ya, you’ll leave your monocle and musket at the bandshell.

I put a hex on your rational thinking mind!

Lauren 06.29.07 / 11am

I’m with you J. The Decemberists’ live shows suck.

LB2 06.29.07 / 12pm

I’m in the Dana camp. Two is better than one. I say we hit up both. Plus the Decemberist show is free and Lauren I know from our discussion last night how much you looooove free shit.

You two are getting lame in your old age….next thing you know you are going to be compaining about the sound being to loud when you go to shows!

jj 06.29.07 / 12pm

Wow Leah. You argue like a Catholic.

LB2 06.29.07 / 1pm

Ouch….make one comment about how you’re old and the gloves come off (your wrinkley old man hands).

tommyslax 06.29.07 / 3pm

yeah, i fucking hate the decemberists. they blow donkey balls. they probably drink lemonade and eat pinwheel cookies and watch CSPAN hoping to see their favorite senator, tom carper (D-Del). assholes.

i’m in for the comas, unless, of course, i’m not. that’s a wednesday, no?

why does JJ love free shit?

also, a link to MY virb page, with 4 songs on it. the album drops on july 17.

also, my reading comprehension sucks. BUT I’M DONE WITH MY MOTHERFUCKING ORGO FINAL.

jj 06.30.07 / 9am

Yay Slaxx!

Leah – when you’re at the decemberists show, I have a suggestion, try listening to them w/out the insulation of your own anal cavity.

That worked for me!

LB2 07.02.07 / 1pm

I never said that the Decemberists were great, I just think drinking wine and dancing in the park on a nice day is fun. And since they are not happening at the same time there is no need for the big Comas vs Decemberist showdown.

JJ – I think your multiple ponytails are tied too tightly and may have started to cause mild brain damage. Otherwise you would realize that it is impossible for one to stick their own head up one’s anal cavity.
