meaning your own band or any band you like
------------------------------------
sometimes you want to see music somewhere specific and not just in a bar or presented as a show etc. wondering if anyone's seen any cool shows at unothodox places or any unothodox presentations by bands or just dreamings of what could happen

True: a friend of mine is gearing up to play a chapel at Brooklyn's Green-Wood cemetery. It was originally supposed to be a double bill of him and Michael Gira but Gira dropped out. So they need a headliner. But the show is, in fact, happening.

I tried to arrange a show on the Washington State ferry. Couldn't get enough people together to make it work, but it would have been fun!

― mike a, Thursday, 21 April 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

I always wanted to play a show at my old summer camp's playhouse. Unfortunately it was demolished 15 years ago.

I would like all my favorite bands to perform in my living room. If you're reading this, bands, I've got a nice P.A. & some amps and mics.

― Yngwie AlmsteenMay (sgertz), Friday, 22 April 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

I'll play in your living room. But I'm probably not your favorite band.

― Hurting (Hurting), Friday, 22 April 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

but will you play in my parents basement? -drunk and scary?

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 22 April 2005 04:32 (twenty years ago)

Under the sea!

Isn't Ronnie James Dio planning to be the first to do this?

― Ken L (Ken L), Friday, 22 April 2005 04:34 (twenty years ago)

xxpost -- We played a party at my parents' house. And I don't mean like, our first gig, when we were 15. I mean like a year or two ago.

― Hurting (Hurting), Friday, 22 April 2005 04:37 (twenty years ago)

i need to understand was xpost means finally. like out of time post? or responding to something specific post? or responding to a past specific post?

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 22 April 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

That you're responding to the post before last. two x's mean two posts before the last. There- I've revealed the secret, I supposed I will be cast out on the ice-floe now.

― Ken L (Ken L), Friday, 22 April 2005 04:57 (twenty years ago)

why i couldn't figure that out? i don't know. thx for telling me

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:01 (twenty years ago)

okay, but what does pwnz mean? like owns? not to totally change the feel of this thread, i'll say that someone told me they saw radiohead play a canyon once, i think. if that is made up, well then I take credit for it. although u2 is probably planning to play the grand canyon sometime soon. fuckers!

baldoon airfield. old ww2 airfield in south west scotland. huge place

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Friday, 22 April 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

That's ok. I only just figured out that it's derived from "cross-post" -- xxpost

pwnz is like owns. Exactly. It's one of those dork jokes based on a typo.

Steep Street, Lincoln.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 April 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

Well if we're being honest, what does OTM mean? I haven't go a notion...

Over To Malcolm.

hahahahahaha, this is becoming my favorite thread.

x-post: it means "on the mark." other pleasant variations i've seen include offtm, otfm (fucking), and my favorite: offtfm

As much as it seems like it wouldn't have been my scene, those Kyuss shows out in the canyons have always sounded like they would've have been pretty bitchin'.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 22 April 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

I would like my band to play in a tree.

Dave, it's on the money, money, MONEY. [Monkey.]

on top of a building in the middle of a metropolitan city

I did this once! The Ninjas, Kumari and I all played on the roof of a friend's midtown Manhattan apartment. It was incredible - I remember the sound bouncing off the nearby buildings.

I want to play on a stage on a dock to an audience of swimming, boating, fun-having lake-goers!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 22 April 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

I'd just like to share a special bummer by saying I always wanted my Jacques Dutronc cover band to play Windows on the World, the swell bar on the top floor of the WTC. Then the unthinkable happened -- our guitar player moved to LA.
