I am deeply ashamed of how much I would love to see this concert!

WTF are Dashboard Confessional doing there, they seem totally out of place on this bill. Perhaps some disgruntled goth will shoot them.

Larcole (Nicole), Monday, 18 August 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit, I'm neither disgruntled nor goth but every time I see that Carabara dude or whatever I imagine him being in the sights of some massive crossbow.

Don't lie. You're not ashamed at all! ;-)

As for me: I'm amazed! I'm also deeply confused. In fact the more I look at that lineup I'm scratching my head (but I like how it's an attempt for KROQ to try and ignore the nineties..."No, no, we were always either Brit Anglophile 80s or that new stuff that's coming out now! Korn who?").

I've seen Echo, Soft Cell and the Cure individually, Psych Furs now worry me, Duran not as much and given all that, this show can happen without me. Besides which, Interpol, please. But lower on the bill than Echo, even without Pete De Frietas = A SIGN THAT SANITY RETURNS TO THE WORLD.

Yeah, but Duran is with Andy and Roger Taylor instead of that stupid asshat Warren Cucurullo.

You and Dan should go, it could double as your commitment ceremony. Imagine exchanging vows during the Cure's set!

Larcole (Nicole), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Violent Femmes in sore thumb shocka!

Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 18 August 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but Duran is with Andy and Roger Taylor instead of that stupid asshat Warren Cucurullo.

Funny thing is it might actually be cheaper than the $90 they were asking to play in Costa Mesa itself. I refused to go to that show on general principle.

Imagine exchanging vows during the Cure's set!

The romance!

Part of the problem also is that I can already predict the Cure's set from here, they have their festival shows down to a science. "Let's Go to Bed," "The Walk," "Just Like Heaven," "Love Song," "Killing an Arab," maybe a concluding version of "A Forest"...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

And Bow Wow Wow! And, oh well, Berlin.

Sean (Sean), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit Ned, buy me a ticket and I'll go for you. I'll even marry myself if it will make Larcole happy.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, I knew Dan would want to go to this! I am kind of surprised by Ned's indifference, but then he is in Headon mode.

Larcole (Nicole), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Rampant Headonism kills fun dead.

donut bitch (donut), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Topper Headon?

Let's put it this way, if Soft Cell hadn't've already toured here last year, I would have been there without hesitation. As it is, it boils down to me thinking "I'd rather see the Cure and Soft Cell do full sets of their own" rather than a bunch of twenty-minute sets with obvious numbers or whatever the hell most of the bands will end up doing (at least the likes of Hot Hot Heat, Fountains of Wayne et al won't be quite so burdened down on that score). I might yet go, a couple of my coworkers are interested, but I'm not feeling much in terms of inspiration, it's more like a stupid KROQ concert package than anything else, a Flashback Lunch festival that's only missing Modern English to make it a clean sweep.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and from the bottom of my heart, much as I dearly love both Larcole and DB, if I have to hear one more fucking 'hate fun' comment...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry Ned! I was just kidding...

Larcole (Nicole), Monday, 18 August 2003 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned fucks fun. *runs and hides*

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I just wanted to say "Headonism". no hating fun intended.

Maybe he was ordered to be Marc Almond's backstage entertainment?

donut bitch (donut), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to think he has higher standards on that front. And sorry for snapping, but that joke isn't funny anymore, it's too close to home blah blah blah (actually, where IS Morrissey on this lineup, he's the real missing factor now that I think about it).

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

(And I apologize for bringing up Glenn Frey)

donut bitch (donut), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR GLENN FREY.

"Why ya bummin' me out, man."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

*insert Dan furiously back-pedalling from previous statement here*

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Dan secretly wanted to look like that back in 1979. Oh it's true.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 18 August 2003 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

This is more accurate:

Sure thing, Pete.
