in retrospect I didn’t appreciate that record nearly as much as I should’ve at the time and I just have no idea why
Oh yea so I guess these last shows of the Full City Devo tour don't have Chris? It looks like it's Tim Kasher and Old Canes opening now instead, so woo now I don't have to feel as guilty going to my show on Sunday
I went to so many shows on that tour but specifically remember the release show at Irving plaza, being 18, and Lovesong Writer making me have such an emotional release I just stood up front and wept. City and Common Existence are their best records, and I've been in since before FC even came out. Best band - I miss Tom though
Had to go right to sleep after the show for work today, the show was great of course. I was able to get to my usual spot for shows like this, one row back from the front row on the right side of the stage (facing the audience). The room wasn't completely filled, I think They Might Be Giants had a bigger crowd, but it was mostly filled and it seemed like a good crowd. Full Collapse songs popped off the hardest of course but everyone was pretty into the City/No Dev songs too. Wish we had gotten a special extra song for it being the last date of the tour but alas, it was worth seeing Sugar in the Sacrament finally. If only it was also Autumn Leaves Revisited, I know the NYC boat show got it but I couldn't make that one. Still a great time!
Geoff and the guitarist from Juliana theory are currently beefing(?) on IG over an altercation from like 30 years ago at a house show
Looks like it was deleted or I just can’t find it now but there was a comment from someone else trashing Geoff’s vocals which the TJT dude liked or laughed at or something. Very lame.
Imagine feeling the need to do a #series where you talk about 27 year old "beefs" that absolutely nothing came from it until you decided to bring it up 27 years later, I like TJT but dude seems like a bit of a loser doing that
There was someone with a Thursday pfp being particularly aggressive towards him in the comments. Noticed his other posts are now limited as to who can comment too.
