Somehow, people, Know here knew about the Residents show in Portland before I did, and *I* have been hunting for confirmation on it all day every day for a week. If that's not a good reason to read the guy's blog, I don't know what is.
This post is out of character for me, but goddamn that's impressive.

Yeah I've been to the Wonder Ballroom plenty of times but looking at their calender now, the majority of the newly announced shows are all 21+.
God dammit there has to be a way to get in, do they just check everyone's IDs or something at 21+ shows?

I'm jealous. Looks like the ticket says you need ID. This is bullshit.

If you were to drop the bills on a fake I.D. it'd probably be worth it.

If you were to drop the bills on a fake I.D. it'd probably be worth it. I'm would really consider it. Especially if the Wonder Ballroom continues making the majority of it's shows 21+.

Also I just realized I can't go to The Residents anyway. I got two tickets to Girl Talk the same night already.

So I've never checked out The Residents until today. Watched a couple live vids on youtube. The impression I got was that they are like a spooky, carnival version of Dead Can Dance. Is that a reasonable comparison or am I way off?

Remembering you posted you are going to Girl Talk, I was going to respond, "You weren't going to go anyway." Not a big deal for you. According to Mr. Mercury, the Residents show will be beautiful, but mellow. Being 19, you'll enjoy the bounce of the Girl Talk show a lot more.

Titus Andronicus, Real Estate, and some other hipster bullshit in a temple in Brooklyn on New Year's because that's how things work

I'd most likely sell my tickets if I wasn't already taking a girl to the Girl Talk show. But then I'd also have to get a fake ID. Ugh.

I think I'm one of the few on the west coast who were into them after their first album, The Airing Of Grievances. "You met the world naked and screaming and that's how you'll leave it." Their new album is top ten for me. I'm not a huge Civil War fan, but the lyrics on The Monitor are pretty rad. "You ain't never been no virgin, kid, you were fucked from the start."

A New Years of Montreal show sounds absolutely insufferable.

So I've never checked out The Residents until today. Watched a couple live vids on youtube. The impression I got was that they are like a spooky, carnival version of Dead Can Dance. Is that a reasonable comparison or am I way off? That's certainly not a description I would use, but I'm not going to go so far as to say it's a BAD description. I'm curious, which particular live vids were you watching that made you think that? Every tour has been so different. I also wouldn't say that the Residents show in Portland is going to be 'mellow'. Beautiful, absolutely, but the evening will move from electronic atmospherics to spitting, screaming, foot-stomping barnburners and back so fast it'll give you whiplash. Plus I'll be there, and I will be a madman. Truth be told, every time I've seen the Residents it's been with my Mormon father and I've been sober as a stone. I've seen The Residents at least once a year since 2008, the reason I'm so fucking excited about THIS one is that it's on home turf. The other side of that is that none of you will enjoy the show as much as I do (not possible), and some of you might flat-out dislike or not get it. This is not my concern; some people don't like to watch Animal Collective perform, either. These people are fools.

Don't get me started.
'False Priest' was the last straw. He's not getting another dime out of me. I've absolutely hated every minute of the last five albums, I'm just not going to do it anymore. I don't want to encourage him, and I certainly don't want to be associated with or even in the vicinity of any of his fans. DONE.
