  5. Phish Summer Tour '19

    Yeah this was definitely a terrible ticket buying experience. They shouldn't be allowed to do that. Very frustrating. I don't mind jumping through hoops to help get fans the tickets, but is that really happening?

    But as my girlfriend just reminded me... we're going to see Phish (her for the first time)!

    Yeah it was a pretty bad experience. Did not work AT ALL for me on mobile with the app (kept telling me my code was wrong). Which I find weird since the codes were texted to me. Maybe I misread somewhere and I shouldn't have used the app. Anyway, used my computer and ended up getting in. All good. Then I got section 201 row D. Awesome. Bought them. Great. So now in my cart is Section 201 row VV. Huh. Weird. I could have sworn those were row D. Oh well. Got them anyway. I mean I can't complain too much. Still 201. And I didn't go from GA to lawn. But you definitely are not crazy. There was some fuckery going on. 

  11. Earplugs for kids...

    in Soundboard

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    So I'm taking my 8 year old to her first concert and we have floor seats so I figured I should do the responsible thing and protect her hearing with earplugs. Thinking y'all may have some experience with this!

    My biggest concern is them fitting properly since she won't want to wear them if they don't fit.

    Any suggestions? Anywere in particular I should go? I'm in the KW area...

  17. Arts & Crafts 10 Year Anniversary Festival

    I'm wondering why Stars aren't on the bill.

    I wondered why myself, but maybe it's because they are not on Arts and Crafts anymore? Looks like most on the bill are currently on the label...although I haven't checked so I may be wrong!

    Figuring there will be lots of special guests though so who knows who will play with them!

  18. Neil Young and Crazy Horse

    What do you guys think of the Americana album? Finally got my hands on it and to my surprise I'm a bit torn. I love the version of Gallows Pole, I like the Travellin on and Wayfarin Stranger...but a few of the tracks I find... pretty excruciating (e.g. Tom Dula...I cringe at the b-a-n-j-o on my knee in old Susannah, etc) Kudos to Neil for doing whatever the eff he wants...but not sure how well the Crazy Horse sound (which I am a fan of) translates for some of these tried and true folk songs.

    Still lookin' forward to Toronto and haven't heard anything off Psychedelic Pill...not sure if that has even been released yet...

    I definitely agree. Wasn't super thrilled with Americana either. But I have listened to a bunch of live versions of songs from Psychedelic Pill and I absolutely love them. If you want to hear some of them live go to YouTube and check out Walk Like A Giant (my favourite), Born in Ontario, Ramada Inn and Twisted Road. The live version of Walk Like a Giant is huge... can't wait to hear that one in Kitchener.

    Mark - I look forward to seeing you there!

  19. New Easy Star All Stars album ... THRILLAH

    Easy Star Guys asked me to help with PR in Waterloo, any ideas to whom might cover or do press ?

    My first thoughts would be the University papers:

    Laurier:

    http://www.thecord.ca/

    UW:

    http://www.theimprint.ca/

    They are both walking distance from the venue and on most club nights at the Starlight there are tons of students there. I would imagine some postering in the student areas would be effective too. The local paper may (big may) have some interest too:

    If Jay Schneider still works there he would be the guy to contact. He is an excellent music writer.

    Well for anyone in the Kitchener area this is great news. On the plus side I can walk to this. On the minus side I have to come up with the cash! Just announced - Neil to play in Kitchener at the Aud:

  24. Recommend some TV shows

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    Some great ones on the list already but here are two that haven't been mentioned yet:

    Episodes - Basically two British TV writers get flown to L.A. to write a pilot of there show for the US market. Matt LeBlanc (of Friends fame - but don't let that scare you!) is cast to play the headmaster of a prestigious private school (according to the British version). The great thing about this show is there are only 7 30 minutes episodes in the first season so you can watch it in a night or two.

    Misfits - a British comedy/drama about 5 kids stuck in community service for various reasons who end up with super powers. I think they are up to series 3 so far (hour long but only 6 episodes per season)
