Mercury Rev at the Commodore on Nov. 30th was also a treat. Very dreamy and surreal, quite beautiful really.
I can't believe I left out 'Jane's Addiction' on Nov. 3rd at the Pacific Coliseum. Did anyone else catch the insane Perry Farrell and all the naked dancing women?
I think I'm the only one who thought Coldplay were dead, dead good. I didn't hear much of them due to Jinky and Saint's constant patter but they looked cool which is really all you can ask for from a rock band.
Other than Coldplay, undermars at The Railway was my second favourite concert of 2001.
Radiohead and the Beta Band was the best concert I saw this year. Radiohead were comprehensively brilliant (instrument switching, Thom, and more Thom). The only thing that sucked was the "inner circle".
Worst was Badly Drawn Boy. What a cnut. How do his 3 minute songs become 20 minute jams? Not very well.
Yes, Radiohead was brilliant. The best moment of all was when the sun came out from behind the clouds and lit up the bleachers with a surreal blend of grays and golds. I think it was during 'Karma Police' . Couldn't you feel the electricity run through the whole stadium in that one moment?
A Plea To the Gods above,
- How does one move out of the 'merely annoying' category?
A panel of 4 judges is appointed by the Moderator and they have weekly meetings on Thursday nights where they sit around and discuss how to more completely screw TTPers. After a few Kilkennys the Apprentice, a de facto member, brings out the lerb and then they vote.
If you receive the requisite number of votes, you may be bumped up a category. Remember that you are being judged on the quality of your posts and not merely the quantity.
You can apply to have your status changed by PMing Zenga, LanceArsmstromg, Godlike or Mr. Coppertone and asking for 'the special treatment'.
If the vote goes badly you can always send $50 to any Sportstown or Surrey poster and they will lobby Regs for you.
As always though, the final say goes to the TotalBastard.
Topic~ Best ever for me Pink Floyd @ BC place. Sat near the side stage and though the flames that were shooting out were going to burn my eyebrows. I was so lerbed up they probably did
shite just noticed this if for 2001. NEVER MIND THEN.
Prince Paul and Dan "The Automator" Nakamura at Sonar. For those of you who are now wanking off over the Gorillaz, respect the classically-trained asian violinist who created their sound. Bow down. We all did, between sets anyways.
Saw The Pharcyde twice this year, and they were high. Not like a musically-enhanced, spiritual, euphoric high. More like a 3-blunt, "get me faded", excessive tokeage kinda high.
Sigur Ros at that little tabernacle downtown (name it, someone) was a nice show as well. Nuttier than squirrel shite, but very enchanting toons nontheless.
DJ Greyboy (also at Sonar) was worth the 15 bucks, if only for the inclusion of Halifax's best white, baseball-fanatic hiphopper, Buck 65. Groo-vay.
Just in time to qualify for concerto of the year, Blackalicious and the Lifesavas killed it at the Commodore thursday night. Easily the best show I've been to all year. Easily.
