It's not cold though, Mark. That's crazy talk.

Ha, I was about to be all "You have to understand he lives in Orange County" but then I checked Weather.com, and Irvine is four degrees colder than Chicago and also raining!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, it was about the same temperature in CA when i left. but, it still feels more wintery here, hence the soup for lunch and hot toddy at fulton lounge. maybe i'm just bracing myself for cold weather to come. what's the forecast?

― robots in love (robots in love), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Flurries tomorrow, supposedly.

Is anyone going to the M@m@ D|gd0wn show tonight? My plans are being thrown into utter disarray by the weather out west.

Isn't your fam here now, Dan?

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

i want to shoot everyone i've seen today in the face.

EZ called me yesterday and said he might go to the MDBB show tonight but wasn't sure yet.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry, otto.

I wished the bike messenger a happy holiday and he said he hates december because he's had six deaths in his life in december, including his mom and sister.

Dan, I thought I remembered you going to pick them up.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

My sis is here now, yes. But I have 2 other friends that are riding to MI with me who are coming from WA today, and their arrival is up in the air at this point.

Kevin, you said Black Lips are good, right? If so, we'll probably see them in dc.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, Dan.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

shit, yes, you definitely should. last night i think i made plans to go see the black lips, ponys, and turpentine brothers in boston some time in march.

listen to the live version of not a problem and decide for yourself.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm 75% percent certain that not a problem is the only song the drummer sings.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:24 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, Dan.

Enh, not so much sucks as is inconvenient. We were going to leave tomorrow anyway, and I still have my sister to hang with. And who knows, they'll probably get here in time.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I really, really liked that song, so we're going to see them.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't "get" live recordings.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Just kidding. I agree that most live albums are pretty inessential, but sometimes they serve as a greatest hits album for bands that don't have a greatest hits album, and there are some bands for whom a live album is worth it.

You get the vibe from the crowd, the enthusiasm.

Motorhead.

the sound from a black lips show is pretty different from what's on their studio albums and still pretty great but in a different way. i can not wait for the b-lips live album, i heard from someone who has it that it's amazing.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I had this live Fear album (post connections what?) that I used to lurrrrve for the retarded onstage banter between songs.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh. I woke up for the start of my hangover today, then I went back to sleep. Taking off today is the best decision I ever made.

Um, our sousaphone player is flying into O'Hare tonight, is that going to be a problem?

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Flights into Chicago's O'Hare International Airport were experiencing delays of almost three hours, according to Federal Aviation Administration.

― JordanC (JordanC), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi! I don't know how to get back on this ILX train, but hey. I'll probably go to the Green Mill tonight with a few people (including a friend from high school who I haven't seen since graduation - he's passing through town and is apparently kind of the manc0w of New Hampshire), and if not I'll go tomorrow night. You're all the tops. Would love to see any and all of you soon.

― eric z (Eazy), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, z-town. I'll definitely give you a call when we get back in town.

― n/a (n/a), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Oops, used my real name.

Z-TOWN AND DOG BOYZ

― Eazy (Eazy), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Eric, HI!

What should I watch on youtube?

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

omg, Sarah and Nick, that's awesome about FFs picture in the Reader!

I am sorry about various and sundry hangovers and traveling inconveniences. fyi for anyone flying/picking people up from airports, the flight that I got bumped to after missing my actual flight yesterday was delayed an hour and a half. that seemed endemic; all the flights around me were delayed.

also, hi, Eric!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry just trying to be "controversial" upthread re live recordings. I don't have much of a relationship with them, though. In a lot of cases I'd rather just listen to the studio version than some poorly recorded substitute. And I don't want to hear crowd noise unless I'm actually there, because otherwise it can take away from the intimate connection with the recording. Neil Young's Live Rust is pretty good, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

ALSO, MOTORHEAD.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just gonna say: There are some good, some bad, just like studio records. I have an EITS bootleg that sounds almost as good as a studio recording and I actually like it better than the album it mostly draws from.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 17:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I will now officially vow to not mention Motorhead again for.. say... six weeks.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Friday, 22 December 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

We are Scientists are cuuuuute.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Might I recommend Incation or Great Escape.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 18:33 (seventeen years ago) link

That was INACTION. I'm not even drinking at my desk today!

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm listening to Ace of Spades now, Kenan. Hey! The pixies ripped off that riff (or paid tribute to it?) in nimrod's son!

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

dear god i can not wait to get home and crawl into bed.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:14 (seventeen years ago) link

no. what the fuck happened to me last night?

unrelated: the bob inn has malort.

I think you just answered your own question

SHIT someday I'll learn to read

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Be strong!

That show looked fun. I got drunk with strangers instead. How was it?

Holy momma. A subcontractor just gave me a $50 gift card to Lord & Taylor. Niiice.

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:23 (seventeen years ago) link

first set was kind of choppy, second set was way way better. by that time everyone (crowd & band) was pretty sauced but it was a whoooooooole lotta fun. then there was an afterparty at a place pretty much right across the street. me and amy cabbed it home around 4:30-ish, i got back home around 5. my brain feels like it's been pressed against a circular sander for about 6 hours.

― otto midnight, that 'tofu makes you gay' ding dong (otto midnight), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Bbut it was worth it, right?

My boss just came up to my desk and said I could go home. BOO YAH!

Have a great Christmas, everybody!

― Calico (calico), Friday, 22 December 2006 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i have 72 minutes to go chicago, not sure if i'm gonna make it. it's the same sensation as when you've been driving a car with the gas gauge way past E for too long and you're not sure if you'll be able to make it to the next gas station or not.
