Uh, I'm not sure what the podcast is, I just listened to it on their website that I forget right now. Here is the link to the download for the acoustic songs. If this is not allowed, just tell me and I'll remove it.

Woah, it's even fairly different from the Bandits version, I'm surprised. I wouldn't even have picked that as Kalnoky.

I really like those rips, thanks for them.

The timbre of his voice is different than I'm used to, but it's still fantastic!

I dunno. Good songs and all, but I just can't get into the slow, acoustic vibe of them. Which is, I think, why I started listening to ska in the first place.

I'm seeing LTJ on Wednesday in NYC. I'm really excited to see The Expendables, I have a few of their songs and I like them a lot. I'm hoping the rest of their stuff is just as good.

I'm going to see the Utters here on Sunday :dance:

I'm super excited. Oh, and I guess the Street Dogs are playing too, that's cool, I guess.

Just reading this for the first time. My roomate was the lead singer of the Superspecs and the Specs. I still see all of the guys from the Specs, who were The Laysan Rail for awhile, and are now defunct.

Snow Cone Capone: Jul 31, 2003

Haha no poo poo? Where do you live? I used to see the Superspecs all the time, and I used to see the lead singer (Brad?) when he was working at Sam Ash, I still see the drummer from when they were the Superspecs every so often, working at the UPS store in Ramsey.

# ? Mar 13, 2009 16:20

Webman: Jun 4, 2008

The majority of the specs are still in NJ (I think there were 13 members of the Superspecs at one point). I'll tell Brad that the internet says what's up.

The Declaration of Independence is pretty much perfection in EP form. It was really a shame to see them break up.

The Utters put on a pretty good show. I only saw them once before, way back in 2000/2001. But yeah, that pretty much echoes my sentiments. What little I've heard of the Street Dogs is decent, but I've come down with a case of tinnitus and with another 4/5 shows I want to see in the next 2-3 weeks, I really need to cut down on my loud noise exposure.

Project HANDSOFF was even better, definitely one of my favorite albums throughout high school.

The Street Dogs are goddamn amazing. One of my favorite bands.

Less Than Jake were awesome, they've been among my favorite bands for a while now but I thought they were better last night than they were last time I saw them. They played 9th At Pine, too, which was on my shortlist of "want to hear" songs.

BTMI was pretty loving incredible last night. They played right through the whole Scrambles album. Ending the night around 12:30 with "Sort of Like Being Pumped" was a fairly religious experience. Something about BTMI and the John Bosch house was meant to be.

What was the setlist like? I assume mostly GNV FLA stuff? I've been debating whether or not to go to their Anaheim show on the 29th but I didn't really like GNV FLA, or anything else past Hello Rockview for that matter.

Pretty decent mix, actually. Some of the stuff I remember: 9th At Pine, Happyman, City of Gainesville, State of Florida, All My Best Friends Are Metalheads, Look What Happened, The Rest Of My Life, Plastic Cup Politics, Gainesville Rock City, Surrender, Short Fuse Burning, Help Save The Youth Of America From Exploding, The Science Of Selling Yourself Short, ... I think they played The Ghosts Of Me And You, too, but I can't remember for sure. There were also a few songs I don't really know including I think they said some stuff from B Is For B-Sides.

Based on Vinnie's Twitter feed it looks like they've been playing some very similar setlists from show to show on this tour, with a few changes each time. I had a really good time and I think you should go.

Since B is for B-Sides came out I don't think I've seen them when they didn't play Bridge and Tunnel Authority.

I've seen them twice since that album came out and I don't recall ever hearing any B is for B-Sides songs. I would really love to hear ASAOK, Jay Frenzal, National Anthem, Robots One Humans Zero, or Nine One One to Anyone. Roger hates playing National Anthem though so I guess rule that one out.

Doesn't the band claim not to like Scott Farcas too? Vinnie's twitter feed says they played it at at least one show on this tour. So, I mean, I wouldn't hold your breath, but it's not impossible.

That's like one of the very few non-covers I haven't heard them play live.

That and St. James Hotel

The set in Philly was basically this (including Ghosts) and: Sobriety is a Serious Business (that was it from B-Sides), Anchor, I think I love you (!), creditreport.com jingle (?), Suburban Myth (!!!), Welcome To the New South, Overrated, Conviction Notice (set opener), Does The Lion City Still Roar, and I'd swear there was one other track off of GNV FLA but I can't remember what. They played for a nice hour 15 minutes, and it was a great show. I never get tired of seeing them.

I know I've heard ASAOK and Jay Frenzal, and I think Nine One One. I too would love to hear more poo poo off of there. I really love National Anthem and Robots One.

Went to that Street Dogs/Swingin' Utters show tonight, had an absolute blast. Went for the Utters, but the Street Dogs loving killed. If my ears ever stop ringing, I'll be seeing them when they come back to town.

Yeah, you were right

But... seriously? The Street Dogs aren't playing in Boston, or even elsewhere in their home state? That's just surreal.

Which is what angers me more. I'm would have had to go to Maine or RI to see them, and that's a trek for someone in north central mass. Now I'll definitely drive to Providence for Bosstones and Street Dogs (NYE 2 years ago woo), but not just for Street Dogs

Just got back from LTJ. Good show.

Set list, spoilered just in case anyone else is going after this and wants to be surprised:

Conviction Notice
Happyman
9th and Pine
Short Fuse Burning
Overrated
Gainsville Rock City
Some song from either In With The Out Crowd or GNV FLA that I didn't recognize
Shindo
The Science Of Selling Yourself Short
Sobriety Is A Serious Business And Business Isn't So Good
This loving song
The Upwards War and Down Turned Cycle
Ghosts Of You And Me
Anchor
Al's War
I THINK I LOVE YOU :monocle:

Plastic Cup Politics
Does The Lion City Still Roar?
Look What Happened
ENCORE: The Rest Of My Life, City Of Gainsville/The State Of Florida, All My Best Friends

Happyman and 9th and Pine got HUGE applause and cheers from the crowd.

Also, Chris said something along these lines during the show: "If we never sell another ticket, I'm alright with it, I've lived my dream but please everyone promise me that you won't buy tickets to see Creed or Limp Bizkit. I don't want to re-live 1999."

AND

"I personally haven't written a song worth a drat since Hello Rockview. I'll admit it. I apologize. I will take full blame for all the songs you guys hate."
