Hope you have a splendiferous set!
Thanks, baby! It's getting off to a rainy start in SF.
How many fingers now? Are 52 on 5/2 or is that next year?
yes -- 5-2 on 5/2. I hadn't thought of that!
Congrats, Mike! Hope you get the set of your dreams today, and it just gets better from there.
Hey Urth, what did you think of Fountains of Wayne? Aidin Vaiziri (surprise!) wasn't impressed.
FWIW, Rob Harvilla of the Voice was equally unimpressed.
And Mike: Feliz Compleaños!
I'm not sure what this means (and it kind of scares me) but I more or less agreed with what ol' Ay-deen had to say about the show. It was competent enough, but I definitely felt like their hearts weren't in it, and they played like they had a cab waiting or something. I've gotten a little of that "too hip" vibe from these guys before, like they've got an inside joke that we, their lowly audience, just weren't getting. But it seemed a bit more pervasive this time. Also, I think Adam Schlesinger was the only one of the entire band who came close to cracking a smile for the entire show. The rest of the guys were just too cool for school. (It didn't help that most of their new songs were pretty
meh, too.)
Hoping for better from Travis tonight at the 'mo. Gotta love those Scottish pop bands. Just hope I can understand half of what they say between songs.
