The Wire 1 - Alvin Lucier - Music on a Long Thin Wire (A. Lucier)
An odd mix of '80's stuff and ambient. And look, no Nirvana, no Nine Inch Nails, no Neil Young! Truly a random 10.
I forgot to mention that the 11th song in the random shuffle was 'The Wire 2'. That's the first time I can ever remember the iPod playing two songs in their album order while on shuffle.
I would appear the battery in my iPod is dead, so no list from me today.
if you say so, no, and no.
1 “walk on by” – cake – prolonging the magic
2 “what people are made of” – modest mouse – the moon and antarctica
3 “pretty noose” – soundgarden – down on the upside
4 “righteous and the wicked” – red hot chili peppers – blood sugar sex magik
5 “betty” – walt mink – el producto
6 “hang on to yourself” – david bowie – the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars
7 “normandie” – shout out louds – our ill wills
8 “seems so long” – stevie wonder – music of my mind
9 “strangers” – portishead – roseland NYC
10 “season’s trees” – danger mouse & daniele luppi - rome
I really like this list.
Would you have gone were it cheaper?
I would not have even gone were it free. And cooler.
This is cool, though (from the StL concert).

Cornsilk and I are going...had tickets for last year's cancelled show. Not sure (what with the intervening 14 month) but I believe we got a discount for being students/alumni of the U.
Musically, I wasn't old enough to really appreciate U2 during their heyday. I was into grunge/alternative and classic rock à la Zeppelin & The Doors in the early '90's. Obviously you can't go far in the late '80's and early '90's without running into The Joshua Tree. More than 25 million copies sold worldwide, including one to me. To this day, it's one of my favorite albums and it caused me to pick up their entire catalogue up through Rattle and Hum. I liked a few songs off of Achtung Baby and couldn't stand Zooropa. Haven't purchased anything they've released since 1991.
Despite the fact that I don't really know anything off of their albums for the past 2 decades (other than what you couldn't avoid due to marketing, commercials, etc.), I'm really looking forward to seeing them in concert. Even though I'm sure we'll mostly get a set list of newer stuff, the chance to hear "With or Without You" or "Sunday Bloody Sunday" live is worth the risk.
Also, new stadiums are so rare that I think it's pretty cool to see the first of anything at one.* Went to the Bears-Vikings game last fall and now the first "stadium concert" at the Bank (and first in MN since The Met). So there's that...
*Especially when we see the first WS.

Hey CoC, where are your tix? I'm going too.
First I had two tickets through the U presale (50 yd line, 6th row upper deck). Then my son wanted to go and I picked up a sweet lower level ticket for less than 1/2 face value. Then my Sister In Law wanted to go and I picked up another lower level but further away ticket for a little less than face value (e-bay for singles is a great way to go).
This will be the 3rd time I've seen them. First time at RFK stadium in 1987 on the Joshua Tree tour. That had to be one the most amazing concerts I ever saw ($15 on the field). Also I wouldn't dismiss their catalog after Rattle and Hum. Achtung Baby is pretty damn good and even Zooropa was some great songs (and some trash). All That You Cant Leave Behind is great too. I even kinda sorta liked Pop but that''s being generous. Their last album was a nothing burger however. One thing nice about U2 is you can take the good songs from those latter albums, discard the crap and have a pretty damn good play list.
List up later.
Not positive, but my wife tells me that we're in 117, row 16. I think that's lower level "end zone" - facing campus & downtown.
I've always been tempted to sample their later stuff but didn't want to buy the albums. Now that you can purchase individual songs, it'll be a fun project to put together a pretty damn good play list.
I even kinda sorta liked Pop but that's being generous.
If that album had 2 or 3 songs trimmed off of it (like tracks 9,10,11)m it would be an outstanding album
I would have gone if it was cheaper. I really could care less about the staging because Janelle Monae puts on a helluva a show with just her band and some balloons.
This has to be one of the most weird lists I've had in a while. Three rap songs into a super suffocating Swans song? It's too early for me to handle that properly.
01. TV Ghost - "Mass Dream" from Mass Dream
02. Burial - "Etched Headplate" from Untrue
03. Lake - "The Roof Caves In" from Let's Build a Roof
04. Beastie Boys - "Long Burn the Fire" from Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
05. Three 6 Mafia - "Testin' My Gangsta" from Da Unbreakables
06. Scarface - "Jesse James" from The Diary
07. Swans - "Blind Love" from Children of God
08. Xiu Xiu - "Hives Hives" from Knife Play
09. The Rosebuds - "Edmund Street" from Unwind
10. USDA - "Ride Tonite" from Cold Summer

Ike Reilly is at the 7th Street Entry next Friday and is playing Salesmen and Racists in its entirety. I'll be there.
I was supposed to go, but being out of state makes that difficult. So I sold my tickets for a pretty penny and am now going to their concert in Moncton, opened by Arcade Fire.
That will be an awesome show. Last one on the tour I think.
Yes sir. I'm pretty pumped, expecting something special.
The Hold Steady are playing a free show in Omaha on August 26th. I'm definitely going to that one.
Edit: Here's the info
Im not much of a concert goer, so no I wouldnt go, unless someone bought me tickets or something along those lines

'Band on the Run' - Paul McCartney All The Best

I've always thought "Athena" was one the better, more underrated latter day Who songs. It never gets included on greatest hit packages much to my chagrin.
