Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 If tickets to a concert are sold out, how can I go about acquiring them? Ebay and craigslist were no help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Stubhub, though I think that's ebay-affiliated, so maybe you've already trawled that to its best end. If you're in a major metropolitan area, craigslist is pretty unstoppable with two or three days of lead time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 If I can't get the tickets to the local show, I could go to the one in Orlando just a few hours away, but that show is 18 and over. Is it difficult for a 16 year old to get into an 18 and over show? Do these places actually check? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Haven't you ever seen 25th Hour? Just go there and hope your teacher Phillip Seymour Hoffman is there and he'll get you in. He might try to make out with you in the bathroom later on, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Saw Kanye's tour last night. Outstanding. The whole thing is based around a narrative wherein he's earth's greatest creative mind, traveling through the cosmos and trying to get back home to save our planet from the doldrums it's entered without him. It was both the most egotistical and the most totally ridiculous and awesome thing ever. It was like one of those nonsense morality plays Dennis DeYoung made Styx do, except with "Can't Tell Me Nothing." The tour is hitting up Detroit next Thursday. I'd love to go, but cash and not knowing many people who'd wanna go shell out money to see Kanye live is going to prevent that. Speaking of the tour, Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+, which raised the ire of Ye, who proceeded to tell EW to never come to one of his shows again.

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 After over a month of speculation, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have confirmed that they are expecting their first child. They posted this official statement on Pete's site, Friends Or Enemies: "While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family." Ashlee also recently adopted Pete Wentz' last name, with her official name now Ashlee Wentz and her stage name Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. She said, "I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marrying a man. It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition."

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I was going to pick a comedy album in the draft thread until Ravenbomb did and got it nixed, but now that there's a shitload of these drafts, maybe there should be a comedy album one. It'd have to be less than 20 though, that's just too many. I'm not going to start the thread because I'm damn sure not going to officiate the thing, but if somebody does, I'm automatically entered in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zoidberg 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 I recently discovered Black Lips, and I gotta say, they're the band to get me out of my musical rut. I got the album Let It Bloom, and I love it. It's really bare bones, kinda shoddy quality in the recording, but it's great garage rock, and the recording quality kinda fits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 5, 2008 So...anybody else a little sad at how far Arch Enemy have fallen, quality-wise, since replacing Johan with Angela on vocals? Really? I don't think I've heard that much of Arch Enemy before Angela, and I think they're still alright. The only album I have of theirs (which I got around the time it came out, so I wasn't that into them yet) is Anthems of Rebellion, which I'll still listen to every now and then. Aside from that, I have no emotional investment in the ups and downs of Arch Enemy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 What do you guys think of The Avett Brothers? People had been recomending me this "Emotionalism" album for months it feels like, and I guess a couple of these songs are sort of interesting, but I feel like I'm missing something. Should I try a different album or just fuck it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2008 Fuck, 'All You Need Is Me' is the best single Morrissey has released in forever. It really is. It becomes awesome at the point where the lyrics shift in tone and you realise what he is actually talking about. Musically speaking it has to be one of his weaker singles though.

Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2008 Saw Vampire Weekend tonight with Harlem Shakes. For a band I initially didn't like, Vampire Weekend puts on a really fun show. Afterwards we hung out with the singer from Harlem Shakes. Cool guy. I'm a little surprised we were the only ones who approached him though, he was just chilling outside smoking a cigarette. How come we don't have a live shows thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
