The concept alone would put any shitty band on the map. The fact it was done by a 66 year old man with a back pocket full of hits everyone knows made it one of my all-time favorite shows.

you guys go to capitol hill block party? they are having a special valentines day special where tickets are $99, 119.70 after fees just bought mine, gonna be my third one! CHBP used to be my favorite city-based fest, but it’s become such a phenomenally douchebro-infested shitshow that I will never go back. It’s well documented here, but TL;DR someone punched me in the back of the head during Spoon and security threw my semi-conscious body to the curb by the Shell station. Sorry about that. And it wasn't a punch, it was an elbow.

Wonk left downtown Seattle and visited a neighborhood to see Mutoid Man, Helms Alee and He Whose Ox Is Gored. All I have to say about that show is HOLY SHIT MUTOID MAN. They ripped Neumos a new one. Fantastic show! You make it sound like Capitol Hill is so far removed from "downtown Seattle." My hotel is right in the middle of downtown, and that part of Capitol Hill is less than a mile away. It's a longer walk to Safeco, and it's a longer walk to the Space Needle. You had to even clarify I wasn't downtown. It wasn't like I went away from this place I despise so much, I walked a couple blocks up the street. But yes, killer show. One of my favorites of the year.

Good, because their opener Saturday in Orange County was one of the worst live acts I've heard. Who was it? (PS I'M SO STOKED FOR MUTOID MAN/HELMS ALEE/HE WHOSE OX IS GORED !) I don't like to call out specific names for being lame, other than nick. So I'll just say I thought her voice was below average, and when she started recording and looping it, then doing yodeling voice tricks on top of it, I felt like I was getting attacked by a crappy voice from all angles. The crowd seemed to like it though, so they must have been extremely high. PS: So stoked for that show tomorrow night. I might break my rule about never buying band T-shirts at shows. Mutoid Man is so much my bag.

That's a thing? Weird booking. Yeah, but only for the Portland show. Animal Collective are pretty big Pavement fans. Good, because their opener Saturday in Orange County was one of the worst live acts I've heard.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds last night was easily top ten shows for me all-time. It was the softest and heaviest I've seen him. Back and forth. The friend I bought tickets with bailed last minute, so he gifted the ticket to a guy who had never heard of Nick Cave. Replacement dude did a little homework before the show, but mostly went in blind. And he was more blown away than I was. I at least knew what to expect.
Everyone says, "oh, my favorite band, that show rocked so fucking hard, oh my god." Most of those shows probably sucked. You are just drunk/high and happy to be listening to your favorite shit live. Nothing wrong with that.
But it got me thinking, what acts can you bring someone in blind, and them actually get blown away? I've spent at least 73 minutes since last night thinking about this. Bruce Springsteen, Arcade Fire back in the day, a little bit of Mac Demarco, maybe the Foo Fighters. Les Claypool acts, Maynard acts, Nine Inch Nails. But for musicianship, lighting/images, and actual human performance, I can't think of anything that beats Nick Cave.
Disputes? Alternatives? Agreements?

Were they preemptively wishing everyone Happy Father's Day on the way out of Wildhorse?

You are giving yourself way too much credit. I'm monitoring this thread, and your miscue was a highlight, regardless of who posted it. This feud got old like 5 years ago. Just thought you should know. "Feud" has nothing to do with pointing out an hilarious slip.

Does everyone on Reddit type so much while saying so little? Or is it just you? Well seeing as we referenced this method last night, and subsequently the image method as well it seems relevant. And your other 400+ posts?

You would think that with 20k+ drunk people pooping into each other for 3-4 days straight, some shit would pop off at some point So eloquent.
