Looks like it never really got mentioned, but there's a third show in Danbury, CT on Friday 5/25. The Fad is opening, but I probably won't be able to get to Connecticut and I missed them when they were on the Young Guns Tour

Not sure if you've seen it, but http://streetlightmanifesto.com/streetlight-manifesto-proudly-boycotts-itself/ talks about the problems Streetlight has with Victory Records, and basically Tomas signed a really bad deal with Victory back when he was really young with Catch 22 that gives Victory the rights to anything any Catch 22 member makes. I think the general consensus is that the hatred of Victory is at least partially to blame for the lack of songs.

That can't be right, they're leaving Victory this summer and if Victory had the rights to everything a C22 member made, that wouldn't be possible.

I think it's six actually, which fits with his sixth album on Victory being his last. I love the idea of Victory moving the date around and Tomas just saying "Nah here's some mp3s have fun guys!"

I went to my first iPod show last year and there were about five other people at the show, and maybe one other person who knew who BTMI! was. Jeff and I talked about the New York Knicks and rocked the gently caress out for an hour and it was excellent.

Nobody seemed to really be moving except for a crank-fiend with his shirt undone doing the robot in front of the industrial oscillating fan. I would really like to be able to get to Sydney next Sunday.

I really appreciate that they had some of the little touches from the Batman television show (which also airs on the Hub, coincidentally) like seat belt shots and convoluted computer-ing.

I'm happy he got over his cancer but I'm not sure if i'm gonna go see them at the Stone Pony. I haven't seen them since Halloween two or three years ago and I was less than amused. Does he play mostly newer stuff? edit: Its 12 bucks so I feel a little better. Anybody know who else is playing? Casual Encountess fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Mar 11, 2012 |

When I saw them last year, they played a few off the new album, but nothing that I remember from Fluent In Stroll. Most were from Strictly Rude and How It Goes, and a few from Good Luck.

When I first listened to it, I really didn't like it and took it off my mp3 player as well. I had it on my main computer that I usually shuffle songs from so I ended up hearing a few sprinkled throughout my normal stuff and it grew on me. Now I actually like Fluent In Stroll, but I'm not too keen on the newest album. Maybe it will grow on me in the same way. I guess that was a long way of saying that I understand where you're coming from.

loving hell, BTMI and Mike Park are playing in DC on Sunday! I want to go so bad, but I have to do field training early on Monday. I am thinking about sleeping all Sunday and then waking up for the show and powering through Monday. This is going to be the greatest show ever.

For all the poo poo it got, Steady Riot was an awesome album. It had like 3 or 4 poo poo songs (like every Big D album pretty much) but otherwise I really liked it a lot. Fluent In Stroll however
