I don't usually watch YouTube clips beforehand either. I just got too excited today. It was kind of like being a kid and being left alone with all your wrapped christmas presents and thinking maybe I'll just open one... You know it will ruin the surprise but you just want to see it SO bad.

I just found out that I am going to be in Toronto the same night as The Wall! So freaking excited. I have just spent the last 30 minutes watching YouTube clips of past shows and cannot wait for this!

I know I am the 1% who doesn't watch youtube clips of concerts before I see them, but I'm having a really tough time trying to Dr. Garbanzoure out why 99% of you do? It literally defies logic. Do you guys watch pirated copies of movies before you pay $17 to see them in the theater? Is "surprised" an emotion that is no longer cool? Don't try to explain it to me, because it is so incomprehensible that I will never understand it.

Looks like you're talking to the wrong crowd. I also don't watch youtube clips before a show. I'm guilty of reading setlists on occasion though.

I even felt lame knowing St Vincent was going to crowd surf at the end of her set.

I spoiled that one for all of you, not only on the boards but at the show where I talked about it constantly until it actually happened. I remember telling Stormy that if she wanted to touch Annie Clark, to go run forward now.

I also warned FD that I was going to look like I was having a seizure during Northern Lights, and it happened. I think Audrey was a little embarrassed.

Anyone going to Primus tomorrow @ Marymoor Park? I wish I could go, but some things came up recently and now I can't. Super bummed.

Thaaaaat fucking sucks. There are very few things I wouldn't blow off to make it to that show, dude. Whatever it is, fuck it.

NICE

Just got mine for Oakland. I only bought Friday night tickets for right now, but I think I'll go try to find a Saturday night ticket night of the show depending on how Friday goes.

Since they're just doing will call, I caved and bought tickets to both shows. Thanks for the tip, HG!

I kind of hope to be moved to BC by that point, but everything is all up in the air. I hope they still have tickets when I get paid.

David Byrne and St. Vincent just announced a tour together this fall!

They're playing the Orpheum in San Francisco on 10/15, Moore Theater on 10/17, and Arlene Schnitzer on 10/18.

Their website is down right now, so I can't get ticket information...

Then this album must be coming out soon: http://pitchfork.com/news/46175-st-vincent-talks-david-byrne-collaboration/
