They opened the show with a drawing of a... dolphin? It was a little strange.

Yeah that was sorta weird, huh?

><i> NY was pretty mid-Atlantic last time I checked, dude.
Still a 10-hour drive from DC, and I'm burned out from too many long drives lately

ok New York is TOTALLY not mid-Atlantic (unless you're from Canada or something) but it is not a fucking 10 hour drive from D.C.! more like 5 hours with pee breaks.

Yeah I was thinking the long 10+ hour drive I often make through NYC to points northward, and <i>those</i>are 10hrs., it just seems NYC is the bulk of the trip due to traffis slowing to a crawl so often there. Anyway DC to NY indeed much shorter, but silll aways from DC., esp. if you start in the morning and arrive in afternoon.
Anyway, nice set list; I'll find a way to catch something.....

NY is actually considered a mid-atlantic state btw. Just saying.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 13 April 2012 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
I think it's about 10 hours from DC to here.
i see wikipedia agrees with enbb but i just can't accept that, what does 'mid-atlantic' even mean if it includes a state that borders canada, i always thought of ny as part of new england

new york is definitely mid-atlantic and totally distinct from new england culturally.
― horseshoe, Monday, 16 April 2012 02:28 (twelve years ago) link
it's as distinct from the mid-atlantic as it is from new england though! sorry i don't know why i keep talking about this.
― some dude, Monday, 16 April 2012 02:36 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i don't know why it matters to me, either, but it does. western new york is more like the midwest, anyway, but new york is like pennsylvania imo. mid-atlantic.
― horseshoe, Monday, 16 April 2012 02:42 (twelve years ago) link
aaaaaanyway, pulp
― horseshoe, Monday, 16 April 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
All I know is that it is technically classified as mid-Atlantic and definitely not part of New England. This was like middle school social studies basics guys. It doesn't really matter though. Anyway - Pulp! Best show I've ever been to probably. I want to see them again now.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 16 April 2012 02:45 (twelve years ago) link
lol x-post
Seeing them Tuesday :).
― svend, Monday, 16 April 2012 02:49 (twelve years ago) link
You will love it. We danced pretty much the entire time.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Monday, 16 April 2012 02:51 (twelve years ago) link
I haven't seen them since they opened for Blur, looking forward to it.
― svend, Monday, 16 April 2012 02:52 (twelve years ago) link
Oh that was good.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 April 2012 08:02 (twelve years ago) link
Yes it was.

god i'm so jealous at the west coast set lists i can't even deal!!! we basically just got the entirety of "different class" with a few other things from later albums. they better play more old stuff when i see them in spain!
― bene_gesserit, Friday, 20 April 2012 14:56 (twelve years ago) link
Back In LA? wow.
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 20 April 2012 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
YOU GOT OU? OH YOU ARE GOING DOWN, RAGGETT.
Seriously though that's super awesome and I am glad you had fun!

(Notices and adores her inadvertent OU/OH YOU wordplay)
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Friday, 20 April 2012 15:10 (twelve years ago) link
Hahah. I KNEW some of those choices would inspire, how you say, jealousy...
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 April 2012 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
And yeah -- a super long droney great version of "OU" -- and I still can't believe they did "Back in LA!" Imagine Jarvis on megaphone and the band making a huge racket -- if you had told me early Blur essentially ripped them off just from this I wouldn't've been surprised.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 April 2012 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
Yah, I saw them three times last year and still green looking at that.
Unrelatedly, I found myself in Bar Italia a few weeks ago. It's pretty great.
― Upt0eleven, Friday, 20 April 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
Oh and I forgot to mention: at one point, Jarvis doing an a capella (falsetto!) version of the chorus of Tina Turner's "Steamy Windows." Never in a million years etc. (Does make me think he would be a perfect dude for karaoke.)
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 April 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago) link
Hahahaha! We got a little bit of Louie Louie which was fun.

Oh also, best T-shirt by a mile that night was some guy wearing a Suede shirt, classic logo and all -- on closer inspection, the small type above it was not 'The London' or any of that nonsense, it was 'Bernard Butler-era'
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 April 2012 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
omg i want that shirt!! haha
