Gang of Four - February 10th - Pittsburgh, at place called Club Cafe. Holds only 150. I guess that means there will be room for only 146 fans.

Hey Folks, This may not deserve its own thread just yet, however when the time comes around it may be a pretty heavily viewed thread. Travis Hay at Guerilla Candy (formerly Ear Candy, that has seemingly gone the way of the Wookie Stage), leaked the Sasquatch Launch Party info a couple days back : www.guerrillacandy.com/news/sasquatch-launch-party-to-be-held-feb-5/I did not see it posted anywhere yet, and wanted to inform everybody of it... Is anyone going to be there? Perhaps provide a live feed?

Can-Con

Post by bradberad12 on Dec 16, 2010 15:35:32 GMT -8
No offence taken Friendly; apart from being called normal (which I am self-aware enough to realize is not a bad assessment) I enjoy the discussion. I can admit that yes, mostly it is my fault and not CanCon that I did not discover these bands. I did not do enough exploration of music as a younger self - or least compared to others on this board, and that kept me from indulging in some of the better independent music of the 90's I can only relate to my radio listening, which was Ottawa Rock Stations (the Bear and Chez106), and loved when I was near enough to Toronto to get the Edge 102.1. (aside) You wouldn't catch me dead listening to either station nowadays . I would watch the Wedge - but the fact is I appreciate seeing it now much more than I did then. But it has always been a good show. Back in the 90s, I would see (for example) hHead playing on the 'Wedge' and love it, but would balk at some of the other american stuff, as I wasn't conditioned throughout the rest of the week on Rock Stations, like I was with hHead. I figured you could attribute that to a lack of flexibility from Cancon. Again, also partly my fault for not digging more. I guess I stayed away from College radio as it was filled with so much stuff I couldn't comprehend, that it was too much for me to sift through to get what I wanted - where a lot of what I wanted was on the Modern Rock Stations. I am very appreciative for the technological advancements that have made it so easy for me to broaden my musical knowledge. I couple of years ago I purchased Sirius, which was very helpful as well - and as of late I am even finding Satellite radio a little limiting; especially when you are digging as deep as Gramma is...

Hey folks, Thanks for the birthday wishes. It was a great time that fortunately from my recollection, did not go overboard too far. Here is a pic of my outfit for the themed party: A couple of female friends and I have close birthdates, so to celebrate our 30th, we naturally had a Cougars and Hunters party. The ladies dressed up in cougar print, 80's style, and the men as, well, either cavemen, wolverines or safari hunter, such as myself. Funny, I woke up with a sore neck - only to realize a couple days later that it was from headbanging to 'Crown on the Ground'. My friend put it on because he wanted a laugh and knew that was my conditioned response to hearing that song. Anyways, thanks again for the wishes.

Also Darnielle is like the most self-indulgent songwriter I can think of that isn't Kevin Barnes. Kanye says Wassup

CWAS, very good list...There isn't really a band there I'd purposefully miss. alhtough I may be busy fucking during the Decemberists. Jokes.
And speaking of getting down while listening to 'We Both Go Down Together', can you imagine how copycats there would be if the Decemberists came back?

I probably shouldn't post in here, because I may get laughed at or e-insulted until I'm red in the face, but I love underdog movies.
Shawshank Redemption, Rudy, Payback, 300, etc...Of course, I am the complete opposite of a movie buff, so take it easy on me.
Apparently, I also like movies that TBS plays on rotation each Sunday.

Awwww, that brings back memories of a young Lump tryin' to figure out what the hell that time signature WAS?! (For those keeping score at home, it's 10/8, or 2 bar phrases of 6/8 and 4/8) I guess maybe I dont know time signatures all that well ( ia have never taken a formal music theory lesson), but I hear this as 3 + 2/4 I can keep a good rhythm going 1,2,3/1,2 in my head...is this right?

Although I would like to agree with COS here (I have no knowledge of any of the other festivals in the running), there may be something else to this.
Awhile ago, Adam Zacks granted an interview with COS. Perhaps this is a return of the favour...

What to bring? Here is a good thread for that: sasquatchfest.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=camp&action=display&thread=124Go for premier camping if you like, but I have never had a problem with regular camping. Line-ups at the toilets can be problematic, but i'm pretty hardy so if you can suck it up it's no biggie. Seeing as you are underage, be wary of the drinking rules. You will have to be pretty sly about your drinking when inside the concert grounds. They don't really care in the campgrounds. Other things? I loved my headlamp. get one if you don't already own one. bring a phone charger if you can. Get a quality sleeping bag, mittens and a toque. it can get ruthlessly cold at night.

I should learn to keep my mouth shut. That will never, never ever happen ever. It is as likely as a Beatles reunion. It is something with a 0% probability of occurring. hmmmm....

Yeah man for sure that guy has not grown into his looks AT ALL. Probably the friendliest dude you would ever want to meet, though. I cannot disagree with that statement. Although I have not met him personally, I did see him 3 or so years back at a small club in Vancouver...he was very genuine with the fans and had conversations with many of them before and after the show. Definitely a friendly giant. anectdote - he played barefoot in this dingy little club, which I was surprised by, as he had to walk to length of the club just to get on stage. Dude has Sideshow Bob Feet.

Yo La Tengo
I have been listening to a bit of their back catalogue (I wasn't knowledgeable enough to get them on the first time around) - and the music appeals to my matured primary auditory complex. I took a look and realized they have never played Sasquatch before. Which is somewhat surprising, considering they have had continuous tenure throughout Sasquatch's existence.
Anybody agree, or have insight into their live performances?

It's an observation. And I'm kind of musing on it. I went to high school with Brett Dennen, and my best friend is marrying his cousin. And yes, that gets my dick sucked CONSTANTLY. And here i just assumed you were the ugliest person from your High School. Mistaken again. Jokes! Jokes! Jokes!

Dude, you slept through The National? I don't know you, but you're dead to me. On a related note, going to see The National in five days with Menomena opening! Fuck yeah! Thedude, I know you were just saying that in jeste, however I would like to point out something here... Have you ever gone to bed at night, perhaps a little tipsy, perhaps sober, and listened to music while putting yourself to sleep? I do on occasion, and it can be an enjoyable experience. It can also be a thoroughly enjoyable aural experience doing the same thing at a live venue like the Gorge, where the sounds of music, cheering and conversation echo off the hillsides. I am no sleep psychologist, but listening to a band like the National in varying levels consciousness can be fulfilling - and it's not like their live show has any huge visual component to it. I also don't sleep in very well at all, so I have become quite good at (and become somewhat reliant on) a little shut eye during the day. Keeps me going knowing that i'll be fresh when the night hits. Call me old if you will... And good on you for the Menomena/National show coming up. I would be pumped to go to that double bill... ...so long as I had a nap beforehand, haha
