God damn that’s a hell of a setlist. Only got to see Jason touring as Magnolia Electric Co (obviously lucky I got to see him at all) but man. Might have to join one of these secret societies to get the record.
True I forgot about the /all link I was using that for a bit after the switch. I just couldn’t believe I had been awake for half the day and somehow didn’t know there was a new big thief single out today- it had just been buried by the time I checked on the west coast.
I only agree with this in the sense that stereogum on mobile makes it so annoying to find articles from even 4 hours ago on days like this with tons of new releases. I have to scroll past the top commented articles that are all from days ago, the three most recent number ones articles, and a million ads just to see songs that were released this morning.
It was so bad. His voice sounded somehow pumped in from elsewhere during a lot of the second song too. Like his mouth would be nowhere near the mic but it was getting louder? It also sounded like he was doing an impression of a singer instead of just singing, if that makes any sense.
I spent my twenties collecting all of these already! But I still want the box and the book because I am insane.
Also still doesn’t include Blood and Little Bird Flies Into a Big Black Cloud, so I can be snobby about those I guess forever.
Love it, love Aldous. Interested to see if her quote about her voice being tiny means the vocals are like this on every track- I love when she gets into her lower register. But she knows what she’s doing so I’m into it.
The word “honeydew” sounds so perfect over this type of music it’s almost shocking there isn’t a chapterhouse or pale saints song with that title already
They should just play the music of the former-openers before they go on stage and have copies of their records and merch for sale- missing out on access to the disposable income of the average WOD fan is gonna be a huge blow to these acts.
Good for her- it’s Vegas. It should be cartoonish and stupid and over the top and I personally would love to be absolutely hammered watching her twerk with a cartoon turd and drinking titty beers in between those teenage dream songs.
There was one year that the palladium basically already hosted this event, but two separate shows and no thrice lol.
Saves the day, dashboard, the anniversary, hot rod circuit
The get up kids, alkaline trio, the Appleseed cast
My dad hung out in the parking lot in the car reading a book during both shows (I was 13/14). After one of them he told me he saw one of the bands in the parking lot. It was Hot Rod Circuit and he had them sign the cover of the book he was reading like an insane person.
The videos from this with Candy still playing at least one full song while the pipe gushed gallons and gallons of water are so good. The wizard security guy who everyone who has ever been to a punk show in Boston surely knows was on stage with his flashlight instantly.
Smalltown Boy is one of my favorite music videos of all time. The courage it must have taken to put that out in 1984 as the first introduction to your band- fuck. It goes without saying that the song is a monster as well. RIP.
Damn. Over and over. my subwoofer is shaking my whole house which is just making my raised arm-hairs dance. And no I didn’t have any of stereodog’s shrooms.
