Modest Mouse (not for the Rusty of heart)

[fatty fat fat]

LOL. How come when you all saw each other, you didn't say "hi!" ?

[michigancat]

I don't know what KG looks like, and I wasn't sure it was BMW.

[fatty fat fat]

I def. wouldn't say hi to bmw. he would probably make fun.

Again, not sure you know WTF you're talking about. First of all, if you don't know the reference to The Ocean Breathes Salty I have hard time believing you knew which one Out of Gas was. Particularly due to Brock's unintelligible nature live. Furthermore, if you think that was an "awesome venue", you haven't been to many good shows. 1. The best place to be at any show is usually close, but due to the only upward grading being on what I think is the west side sloping up (can't imagine the sound carried well over there anyway), I was lucky to see any of the stage more than 30% of the time. 2. Too many damned people in a tight area. 3. The walk to buy a beer or visit a Johnny was absolutely ridiculous.

I'll admit to being a tad dramatic

At least you said it. Your lack of mentioning a fine performance by the band you didn't mind seeing, Band of Horses, shows me what your intent of posting your critique was. You walked into the show with a prefabricated disdain for the headliner and came back out parroting Leyton's cliche'd use of "chord structure" while completely failing to mention the other band's performance. This makes you, wait for it, a music snob! Welcome to the club you mock so much. The next step is using terms like "texture", "atmosphere", "delivery" and "voice". Make sure and do that in repetitive fashion.
I'll fully admit that the cadences they use, especially when they play a great many of the songs at the same speed (one of my only criticisms of the band themselves) mixed with many of the same chords are similar on the last couple of albums. The melodies, bridges, and overall setup of their songs has drastically changed over their career.  I still enjoyed hearing the newer stuff but left wishing I'd hear just one song from This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About, Building Something Out of Nothing, Everywhere and His Nasty Parlour Tricks (minus the end of that album at the close of the concert), and more than two singles from Lonesome Crowded West. That's an inherent problem though, anytime you change the band's lineup as much as they have. Hence, you heard about 4 tracks on anything but the last two albums and can't really pass judgment.
In short, had you just gone to be entertained and shelved your bias walking in, you'd have returned and not come off like such a know-it-all attention whore in this thread.

I saw a guy that looked a lot like the middle dude in the katpak'r event photo with one other guy. I've been wrong before and will continue to be wrong in the future

[pissclams]

at the music showcase right now, the popcicles suck.  on to bigger and better music.

have to retake my take.

apparently the band i thought was the pcicles wasn't. 
the overall music showcase was incredible.  saw two kickass bands at hurricane that just kicked ass.  then went to beaumont for popcicles and damn they were incredibly kick ass.  missed the jazz fusion joint that rusty recommended because i thought i was at the right place but wasn't. 

overall...A+ effort from the Pitch Music Showcase.  really great.

and i would have for sure introduced myself to bmw, why the hell not?

we're not all the dickheads we seem when u get us from behind the monitors (except sys)

dude, you are like 6'5 and are out of this world ummm... good looking. 

Of course you would.

Um...relax?  If I were a Modest Mouse fan, I'd be pretty happy that Rusty checked out the show despite not being a fan.

I am relaxed. Just making a point. Why does everyone always think I'm angry?
 

*edit*
Guess I've spent too much time on the warzone.

I had to look up out of gas on Youtube.

With a few exceptions, Modest Mouse's songs all sounded the same last night.  If I'm wrong for thinking a band should play more than 3 or 4 unique/good songs in a two hour set, oh well.

I thought Band of Horses was better, but still meh-ish.

I liked City Market because it was unique.

Suck it.

I've discovered this with 90% of the warzoners and ksufan'ers I've met.

I sent a really gay email too. You know what I mean by "gay" right? Like, not gay GAY, but like just kind of gay.

Agree to disagree I suppose. Sorry they couldn't play that Gwen Stefani song you rave about.

[pissclams]

ya i got ya.  we'll see what happens.  imo the guys should watch this right before leaving the lockerroom and hitting the tunnel, but prince hates our alumni so who knows .... i can take a couple approaches at it.

[greasd up deaf guy]

BTW piss, did you get to see Roman Numerals?

[michigancat]

Why not say hi, KT?

[pissclams]

BTW piss, did you get to see Roman Numerals?

no bro, i tried but was pretty drunk and wanted to head home before getting too hammered and tired.  sorry, i actually pulled my phone out there and looked for who you and rusty recommended. his was too early and yours was too late, i think they were playing at like 12:30 or something.  had to grab jimmy johns and crash...

[greasd up deaf guy]

#1 I wasn't 100% sure it was you. This person really did resemble the one photo, but it'd be a little strange to me to walk up to a random dude and say "Hey, aren't you Rusty?" Maybe it's just me.
#2 At the time, early in the show, I was pretty drunk.
#3 I'm a jerk that nobody likes

[greasd up deaf guy]

BTW, despite not being a huge fan of their new stuff, Bukowski was freaking terrific.

[greasd up deaf guy]

BTW, maybe OT, but LOL @ people who sing along at concerts.  LOL and grrrrr(!).

Not OT, LOL and grrrr made me chuckle.

[michigancat]

BTW, I have no problem with KT, dr00d, or anyone else liking what they like, and their opinions are totally valid.  That's what makes me better than you &@#%ers.f

[greasd up deaf guy]

BTW, I have no problem with KT, dr00d, or anyone else liking what they like, and their opinions are totally valid.  That's what makes me better than you frackers.f

I'm not trying to come off as an asshole here, I'm actually a fairly easy going guy, but apparently totally misunderstood on message boards because I use a lot of dry jokes and sarcasm.

I just like what I like and I don't understand why people have to try and drag certain genre's, band's, and artists down with the debbie downer routine.  Your post seemed like a prime canidate.

If you don't like it, that doesn't bother me, but why complain about it when you can't really claim you know all their stuff? nor walking in, you already had a bad attitude about the band in the first place.  You just set yourself up for failure and a not-so-great night right out of the gates.

cheers.

Just about anything you can hear on popular radio totally sucks %$#@ and is for big time ass munchers.

[ECN]

radio blows x's a gazillion

[cireksu]

I've never heard of any of those bands and will go ahead and come to the conclusion that they all suck.
