Bleah, diminishing returns on the final (?) CCR hit.  John had run out of things to say for the time being.  I can only take so much "long as I remember" repetition.

Hey Gaz, has your potential trip out here been confirmed yet?  If you are gonna be here on the 8th can I have dibs on the activity?  Live 105 just announced their annual Not-So-Silent Night lineup:

The Killers
The Raconteurs
Modest Mouse (with new member Johnny Marr)
The Shins
Silversun Pickup
+ a local artist to be named later, all at the the Bill Graham Civic.

anyone else find that enticing?


That's quite a lineup. What venue?

ETA: Yeesh, you edited to add the venue while I'm querying that very factoid. I gotta remember to refresh before I post.
Let's get right to it.

That is a great lineup -- and Johnny Marr is a mad genius -- but I can't be in SF before the 17th due to work commitments.  I haven't found a fare to my liking, but assuming nothing fells my plans, I'll be in town roughly the 18th through the 28th, give or take a day or two on either end.  Will update on one of the Stream of Consciousness threads.

Oh damn, I missed "I Saw the Light."  (Was out running, a rarity for me.)  After-the-fact BOS, natch.

Is it me, or did you add the location after your initial post (but obviously before I posted my question)?
Let's get right to it.

Bonus: Alice Cooper, "Elected"!

which begs the question: is Dave planning an Election Day set for tomorrow?

Good thought. I'd say it's due--the last one we had (the presidential election in '04) was a great great set.

For me, an election day set oughta have:

Arcadia, "Election Day" (obv., but I haven't heard it in a long time)
Temps, "Ball of Confusion" ("vote for me, and I'll set you free!")
Temps, "Power" (an even better commentary on the politics of control)

I've also been thinking of this:

Sly Fox - "Let's Go All The Way" (...presidential party, no one wants to dance, looking for a new star to put you in a trance...)

X - "The New World"  (Honest to goodness the bars weren't open this morning.  They musta been voting for the president or something...)
