I think Diablos should listen to Lifted, I'm Wide Awake, and Digital Ash. And if he hates them, we'll give him new ears.

I'm Wide Awake is the only good album of that bunch. Even then...it's nothing that hasn't been done before, and done better.

That said, I'd like to see him. I have a friend who (edit) grew up in Omaha with Conor and knows a lot of the other Saddle Creek folk, that I'm hoping can hook me up with some tickets soon. :D

If anyone could find the Neko Case pool stick photos, I will love them forever.

Diablos, if you find them, I will make nothing but POSITIVE posts about Billy Corgan for the next month. And my nick will be changed to Corgan Fan (with a tag of "in the butt").

Go, my children, search!

Is that the series you're looking for? Just search for "Neko Case" and "Kutie." The magazine is defunct, so their website no longer works.

Ah, the Orpheum... my wedding reception is going to be not too far from there.

I thought you were from Seattle? What in the world are you doing getting married in NE? Crazy.

But Spoon is opening (in Omaha at least) so thats a bonus too! Gimmie Fiction was pretty fantastic.

Hahaha, I know what shirt I'm wearing to the New Pornographers show next week :D

I should bust out an old school Pumpkins shirt, then we'd be super rad!

I have a big shot where she is sitting on the pool table fully clothed with no cue, but it's on my old desktop, which I'm supposed to be setting up for my nephew. I need to pull it off before I give to him.

But really, I don't find Neko very attractive.

Go away and die. Please.

No, actually, I can see that. She's either smoking hot or looks really normal.

I am from Seattle, but my fiance was born and raised in Omaha. We're getting married at her church and then having the reception at the Omaha Press Club. Her Dad used to be a TV news reporter back in the day. Doug Parrott, does the name sound familiar?

They are on hiatus! Tim Kasher wanted to write another Good Life album.

They need to quit with this Good Life stuff. Seriously, Cursive is way better than The Good Life.

btw, 11-13 Bloomington, IN - IU Auditorium!!! WHAT?

This is really, really messed up. First Le Tigre, then The Aquabats, now Bright Eyes. What is going on in Indiana?

Neko ignored me the last time I saw her with the New Pornos so I stole her setlist.

When I saw the New Pornographers at Sasquatch 2004, the band did a autograph signing after the show... Neko was the only one that didn't come out and sign...

I've seen her live probably 10+ times (solo/New Porns), but I've never interacted with her. Based on what others have said, is she just a bitch in person or what? Regardless, Thrice All American is still being played at our wedding (we met at college in Tacoma, WA).
 
Jason said:
To her credit she did come out to sign stuff after her solo show I went to.

You've restored my faith in humanity, hopefully she'll come out and sign with the rest of the band Monday night at the Twin Cinema record release party.

Neko probably feels like she's queen of the indie world :D

She is, and don't even try to tell me otherwise. Or I will have to kill you.




I'd do anything for my queen. :D

Well, it's easy to see why!

That's Jenny Lewis of Rilo Kiley, not Neko Case. And yes, she is quite the attractive rocker, but still no Ms. Case. And even with RK now signed with Warner, she's more indie than Neko, who is just a good old alt. country girl from Tacoma, WA. Don't let the Canadians tell you different. Has she written songs about Vancouver? NO. She has written two kick ass Tacoma songs, however.

Furnace Room Lullaby is the essential Neko Case album, although you may prefer Blacklisted, as it is less country.

Bloomington is a college town with a huge emo/indie scene, I lived there for several years. It's infested with hipsters, there's a big audience for Bright Eyes and their ilk.

I have actually been to a Bright Eyes show, it was around 2000 IIRC. I played as a guest synth player for a noise-industrial band called Slave Cylinder that opened for them and the Faint as part of a cross-genre show. I thought Conor was obnoxiously histrionic on stage, and their music was immature and pedestrian. But I did give it a chance.
 
So, Diablos, have you had a chance to listen to Bright Eyes? Digital Ash was probably not the best choice to get an idea of what they're like.

I ripped Oceansize on my iPod and have been listening to it today at work. I can see why you like it, but it's not my thing.
 
Yeah, I guess I can see why you like it but it really didn't interest me.
So not even the final track on the Oceansize disc interested you? :cry
