I dunno,. I'm ploughing through the DVDs in the deluxe sets (all of them!)
It's comfort food, really...

I ordered all the deluxe sets too! have received three so far (they have to cross the pond...) I haven't watched much of the DVDs yet, just a bit of the live sets on Psychocandy & it's hilarious how loud they are. I guess I knew that! But it's just a mess.
Many of the extras are things I already had on the Rhino box, but it's nice to have the BBC sessions with the albums themselves.

Mr. Moore is indeed in -- we ended up becoming Facebook friends by chance a couple of years back, passionate fellow but also a good sense of humor. He posted this photo the other week, before starting to talk about getting out all the guitars again...

Aww..
You see, over there on that TV screen is Jim looking all young and that.
And on the laptop is this pic. Actually, Jim isn't looking too bad for the years, so..

I like how JAMC have settled into the "Cal Jam 2" phase of their career while still maintaining some sense of odd weirdness. The Reids are still obstinate but with a coating of the mannered gracefulness that comes from being a professional entertainer - those Bad Vibes could really be a Martin & Lewis act. I'm not Especially when William looks identical to King Buzzo.
On the plus side, now that they seem like they're giving a partial shit, they sound fantastic. I never would have expected them of all bands to be around in 2012, but it felt appropriate for an almost-summer Friday night at a horse race track in Inglewood. Lots of people dancing and singing along. Good times.

I think they played last night in LA. Anyone go?

I did! (hence the thread revive)
― Elvis Telecom, Monday, 18 June 2012 04:51 (eleven years ago) link
Haha they played at that track? Wow. They only seem to advertise shows there if they're good-time white reggae bands.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! BOSTON SHOW ANNOUNCED. :DDD
― (✿◠‿◠) (ENBB), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
I am only a casual listener, but I feel like the fact they're playing at First Avenue means I have to go. A classic band playing at a classic venue? And I feel like they could play somewhere bigger in town. 25 bucks...

They were complete shit last Thursday at the Fillmore. Big waste of money.

Still debating whether I should see them on Saturday. It's not that I don't want to, but I just haven't been feeling that great.

Missed the DC show. Heard they played for 70 minutes, which for them ain't bad I think.
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 14:55 (eleven years ago) link
x-post - Are they good? I was planning on pulling my usual turn up just before the headliner so I don't have to sit through awful opening acts thing. Also, I wanted to go home and nap first. Yes, I am old.

oh man
really want to go, but I am dead tired

argh
― DARING PRINCESS (DJP), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 17:33 (eleven years ago) link
you know, I always thought it was weird (& pretty lame tbh, tho the shows were usually amazing regardless) that I saw them prob eight or nine times b/w 1992-98 & they never once played a single goddam track from Psychocandy - the only thing from that era that made their setlists was 'Some Candy Talking.'
― Broney, Pt. 1 (Pillbox), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
otoh I bet they played the shit out of "Reverence"

this show was great by the way, was surprised that not everyone there was 40+, is this because of "lost in translation" or.....?
