  1. What do you all think selling out fast this year actually means... i dont think ill be able to grab mine until the 28th... any ideas?

    I would bet large amounts of money that you'll be OK until at least the 28th. I don't recall it ever selling out in less than a month, so I'm sure you'll be fine.

  2. That was great to see. Nary a dry eye in the house say for the cat. Anyone hear the announcer say Jenn was from the US when they invited her up to the podium! That reaction was truly Canadian.

    I thought that was hilarious. The CBC announcers completely missed it, but her face was priceless. They did correct it immediately, though.

    Edit to add: I also dug how she hopped the boards in true Canadian fashion to hug her coach. Great shift, Jen!

  3. FYI for anyone who's still around and thinking of going:

    I just called Zaphod's, and they told me that Evan Dando is going on at ten and playing a one-hour set. (Funnily enough, this now has me leaning more towards going, as I can't have a late one tonight).

    Also, I just checked out the setlist from Montreal, and it seems to be quite the "Greatest Hits" type of package. Here are the songs he played, by album (lifted off an Evan Dando board I found):

    Lick album:

    Come Back DA

    Lovey album:

    Half the time

    Ride with me

    Stove

    It's a Shame album:

    Why do you do this to yourself

    He also did Frying Pan, 2 new songs and finished with a Ben Lee song (don't know the title though).

    Looks like it'll be a good show - I'm now looking forward.

    Peace,

  4. *bump*

    Am I gonna see anyone else there tonight?

    I think I might check this out. I was unsure, but after reading in the XPress article that he'll be playing some vintage Lemonheads, I'm thinkin' it'll be a good night.

    A buddy of mine put together a compilation of some of his solo acoustic stuff, and it's great - including a cover of Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know?", although I'm betting we won't be hearing that one.

  5. So not too long ago I heard this song on the radio..."devils and dust" I thought hmmm I like this song. tried to figure out who it was. couldn't - had no idea nor would I ever have thunk it woulda been springsteen

    Indeed, after his first couple of albums he was consistenely being billed as "the next Bob Dylan," which caused him much frustration and lead him to a bigger, fuller sound with the E Street Band. He's returned to his roots a few times in his career (namely on the Nebraska and Devils and Dust albums) and it sounds oh so sweet when he does.

    I thought his "Bring 'em home" line was perfect: it wasn't over-the-top and emotional, nor was it in the form of a clumsy acceptance speech. He made his point matter of factly and then walked away - it was awesome.

  6. One of my college buddies was a huge fan, especially of Evan Dando's acoustic stuff, and got me hooked. I'm not sure if I'll be at the show Friday (I might be at Ember Swift instead), but I'll always dig The Lemonheads.

    Half past nine

    Quarter to ten

    Ten fifteen

    And I'm coming around again
