This sounds excellent - how was it??

Any early reviews for this stretch? I am trying to figure out if this brief set is worth 6 hours in the car and a $75 ticket. The setlist doesn't "light my fire" but if it has mutated much from 2022, I'll be there. Thanks I flew from Connecticut to see the San Diego and L.A. shows (and th...

Most recently, Spiritualized in Buffalo, Hudson, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and NYC. It was quite a week, and met some lovely people

Bummed that I missed the first show in New Jersey, but I had to be responsible!

I was lucky! Same setlist they've been sticking to -

swmcsherry

Well, now that these dates have arrived, I'm a mixture of angsty and excited! Had to miss tonight in Jersey City for a family thing, but plan to be there for all the other dates. Can't wait!

swmcsherry

I'm planning on hitting the last 2 dates - not a big QOTSA fan, but why not check it out?

Coming up: Violent Femmes Oct 15 Mudhoney with Hooveriii Oct 27 (primarily going for Hooveriii) Spiritualized Nov 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 (a LOT of repetition, I know, but can't not go) Built to Spill Nov 17 (perhaps) Destroy Boys Nov 22 Thumpasaurus Dec 3 Bouncing Souls with Catbite Dec 13 Queens of the...

Same setlist in Amsterdam - was fortunate enough to score a copy, a first for me. Damn, I'd love to hear Let it Flow or Lay Back in the Sun in there. Was so glad to see Always Together With You in the lineup, though - gorgeous theater, enthusiastic crowd. (Brendan, the lurker in the LGM shirt - are ...

swmcsherry

Oh, how cool. Pics of that venue look beautiful too.

Mr. Smalls is a great venue, but so far out -

Haven't been to a show at Webster Hall - what's the story there?

White Eagle Hall in Jersey City seems to be in such an awkward location - haven't been inside there either.

swmcsherry

So glad for this. I'm going to Amsterdam and Paris for shows in June because I didn't know if they'd be back here any time soon, but this is also something to look forward to:

swmcsherry

Oh yes! This too.

I was just flicking through Mojo #350 and on p59 Spaceman reviews the best he's heard all year. Just thought I'd mention it as He at least is OK. Sonic Boom talks about Spacemen3 on p122 :wink: Thanks for this. I felt so unsettled, then figured I should just shut up about it. I'm so glad to see new...

Agreed - I've been surprised and annoyed too, even though I hate arbitrary lists.

swmcsherry

Maybe some Built to Spill shows on the west coast - missed them when they were closer to home, and will be elsewhere for most of November. Who has seen them on this tour - how has it been so far? Responding to myself - the Built to Spill shows have been incredible. The openers, Blood Lemon and Pris...

Coming up, I have: Algiers - Brooklyn 12/15/22 (Hadn't heard of them because I live in a bubble, but someone mentioned them at the 9/15 Chicago Spiritualized show.

Weird experience you say? I think I just get caught up in the music or something. First was a large-ish speeding ticket, second was an accident on a bridge where someone cut me off, then trying to avoid that person I lost control and zig-zagged across 6 lanes at rush hour without hitting anyone (ex...

How were the shows?

And Iggy Pop in London on July 1st...has anyone seen the Vida lineup by day yet? This would be a fantastic combo trip

Give this a try, the last song, Masters of Earth. 19 minutes of pure proggy Floydy joy. https://ampacity.bandcamp.com/album/encounter-one I always think of this song when trying out new headphones.

One of my favorite albums, although I think I wrote in another post that I've had weird experiences while driving and listening to them. Wouldn't be driving with headphones on though, of course, so would be safer

Thank you!

swmcsherry

Just charged up some decent headphones I haven't used in a long time, to prep for travel later today. The first song I wanted to listen to was "Starálfur" from Sigur Rós, and the neck tingles from this experience were amazing. Next was "A Girl Like You" from The Wolfgang Press - ...

My top 10 favorites kind of depend on the day, but I tend toward the more enveloping/cocoony-sounding songs. Overall though, it's the killer blend of gorgeous sound (from delicate to crushing and back again), vulnerability, loneliness, shaky hubris, humility, wry wit, cynicism, love, lust, more vuln...

That's from the boxed set, I had that: https://www.discogs.com/release/57000-Massive-Attack-Singles-9098 Oh cool, thanks! Figured it had to be a set of some kind...the sleeve design was weird, pastel-y colors with a fork & knife and stuff, so I was hoping someone like Engelbert Humperdinck hadn...

At least we have a new festival date in Spain announced for next summer! This is promising.

Hoping for some eastern U.S. dates eventually, though at this point I'd go see them anywhere

A CD I got for $.50 at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore - unlabeled Massive Attack "Teardrop" mixes. Got it for fun, to see if the CD player in my car still works! It does. (Although...20+ years ago, I got a speeding ticket for almost $200 while listening to them in the car, and a couple of ...

Wand - Spiders In The Rain: Had no idea they'd any releases on the horizon so this was a pleasant discovery. Live album culled together from various shows as far as i can make out.

Thanks for sharing all of these pics! I was sitting back at the drink rail in front of the bar with my sister.

Great view of the crowd, band, and the venue, but missed the up-front/crowd experience!

I don’t have any stories, but this thread made me dream last night about the homemade LGM cover embroidered army jacket I used to have. thank you! It’s a nice memory Oh my gosh, that sounds fabulous. What happened to it? Until I was about 20 I thought I was some sort of flower child. When I was 16i...

On a slightly random note but still shirt - and sort of spiritual - orientated. Can't remember if I've told this tale before. A few years ago Cliff Richard played a gig near where I live and we got freebie tickets. I thought it would be a funny idea to wear an Electric Wizard shirt, complete with u...

There's something so appealing and rare about someone sharing his/her uncompromising weirdness. Just the vulnerability of putting your self out there and dealing with the consequences is admirable! (This sounds so clichéd because it's the basis of all art, but still... :D ) Will listen, thanks for s...

One time I was at my ex girlfriend's staff accommodation. I was playing LAGWAFIS. It was one of the noisier tracks that was on (ironically it may have been No God Only Religion). A girl she worked with came in the room. She asked what I was listening to. "Spiritualized", I replied. "...

There's a really good description of anhedonia in Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest . It struck a chord as it's the way I've felt for the last couple of years! "The anhedonic can still speak about happiness and meaning et al., but she has become incapable of feeling anything in them, of understan...

Listening to some VU now. Does anyone know where to find the Lou Reed 1998 American Masters dvd or streaming?

am kind of tired of people asking me if it's a religious thing :P I usually splutter and say something goofy, as is my style. It's not THAT kind of religion, but perhaps a cult :D To discourage religious questions I could wear my MAYBE TODAY, SATAN shirt more! But I'd love to meet other fans in the ...

Gorgeous sound!

Makes me teary, remembering some of the best times I've had this year. Takes me right back to those shows.

Thank you!

There's a twitter user with a report of what happened (based, they say, on a relative who worked at the venue).

But seriously, has anyone heard anything about what happened/how everyone is? It's been a week - the Philly show would have just been wrapping up - and I'm still feeling, I don't know, incomplete . It was unsettling, and still is. I had taken a pic of the groovy sky (and the top of the bus) and of t...

Boston was great. Did they change something up in Austin in the set? What we saw in Boston was same setlist as the west coast dates in April. I should've headed up to Boston :( Yeah, they played "Always Together With You" and "The Mainline Song" in Austin. I was hoping to hear t...

Hopefully it is just something rest will solve. They've been touring like crazy.
