Sat 6/16 - Television, Apples in Stereo, Dragons of Zynth - CENTRAL PARK SUMMERSTAGE

whoa whoa whoa.... waht??!?!?

i saw television a number of years ago (so long ago that i think hstencil watched the show from the balcony with towga while i was on the floor) and they were still pretty awesome. good thing about guys with lousy voices, you can't lose what you never had.

hmmmmm, time to check to see how many airline miles i have left.

I went to the Television reunion show in '92 (?), which was one of the first I attended with lots of gray heads in the audience.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:29 (eighteen years ago)

daaaamn

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

stop jizzing yerselves about television & think about roky.

― ian, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

why do i live in chicago again?

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:47 (eighteen years ago)

ian, i do not know the story of how you embarrassed yourself in front of tom veraline once so please share.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:48 (eighteen years ago)

I think I'll be in CA for the Roky show, so sadly. Putting most of those on my calendar tho.

― Laurel, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:50 (eighteen years ago)

it's not a very interesting story. he was in the store, and i thought he was way in the back so i turned around to joke to my co-workers that we oughtta show him all of our unsold copies of adventure, but he had crept up behind me and i be like daaaamn.

lolz

I will be in SF when Roky shows, where u Laurel?

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:58 (eighteen years ago)

too bad it's not television & roky on the same bill

― m coleman, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:59 (eighteen years ago)

In Ventura, Morbs, with whole family, for my bro's graduation from film school. My first time west of the Rockies!

― Laurel, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:00 (eighteen years ago)

television were great when i saw them. so many grey pontails in the audience... my friend and i decided that vodka and ensure should have been the drink special.

― lauren, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)

vodka & ensure to wash down the viagra

― m coleman, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

lots of long haired greytops when i saw them too. my favorite was the guy who was obviously under the influence of some sort of psychadelic who was doing interpretive dances to all the songs. he also threw his head back and howled like a wolf during venus de milo.

that was when i left the floor.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)

those dudes probably booed televison when they toured w/pete gabriel in 78. fuckin hippies.

― m coleman, Monday, 9 April 2007 15:13 (eighteen years ago)

I will go see animal collective and battles for sure, seaport is like blocks from my work

I've had bad luck with castle clinton shows, their ticketing system is lame

― dmr, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:36 (eighteen years ago)

seeing how all the random tourists on the pier react to AC will be a show in itself

― dmr, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:39 (eighteen years ago)

I am so coming up to see Roky.

― jessie monster, Monday, 9 April 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

I bet the tourists will be converted by Danielson, tho (as I would be, before fleeing from AC)

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

ian you will have to let us know how the roky erickson show on friday is!

― bell_labs, Monday, 9 April 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

ian, i think we're getting sushi beforehand if you're interested.

― lauren, Monday, 9 April 2007 18:23 (eighteen years ago)

In the meantime, New Yorkers can catch Sonic Youth members Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, and Jim O'Rourke at the No Fun Fest in Brooklyn in May (don't expect anything like Sonic Youth though!).

WHOA THANKS FOR THE SAVE BROOKLYN VEGAN!!!!!

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:24 (eighteen years ago)

― ian, Monday, 9 April 2007 20:28 (eighteen years ago)

southpaw dudes are nervous roky is not going to show or that he is going to fight spider monkeys or something.

― Yerac, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 00:29 (eighteen years ago)

Complete Prospect Park schedule here... I wonder if KRS-One will say more crazy shit about 9/11.

Live scores to Hitchcock's Blackmail and Laurel & Hardy!

Joan Jett at Pier 54 June 28

― gabbneb, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:30 (eighteen years ago)

B-52s at Asser Levy 8/9? (their page says 8/10/07, but 8/10 is last year's date. Pollstar says 8/9)

― gabbneb, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

that's last year's schedule for the Asser Levy series, unless they are making a return. Theye usu don't announce til June.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:40 (eighteen years ago)

Asser Levy hasn't updated its own schedule yet, but both B-52s themselves and Pollstar say there is an '07 date, and Pollstar says it's a different date from last year

― gabbneb, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)

i.e., it looks like they're making a return (weren't they rained out last year?)

― gabbneb, Friday, 18 May 2007 15:42 (eighteen years ago)

McCarren Pool freebies

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

I would disagree except I'm going to be in St Louis when the Park shows Laurel & Hardy. :p

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

no $45 shows on free thread, gabb, we are not all wealthy DNC types.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

The idol of every Brooklyn kid under 13 I'm aware of, whose parents listened to the Del Fuegos or not.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:53 (eighteen years ago)

hmmm does dan deacon always perform for free?

why do we treat our children like retards?

― bb, Friday, 18 May 2007 16:58 (eighteen years ago)

I get kinda grossed out when I think about the young'uns running around Southpaw on a Sunday afternoon for Baby Loves Disco or those Dan Zanes matinee shows. I'd be like "Timmy don't touch that floor! This place smeels like stale beer and pee!"

― dmr, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

you know...there was a reason we didnt used to let children in the bars...

― bb, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

Could everyone go to the ERMP show, thx?

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 6 September 2007 21:19 (seventeen years ago)

only if you host my website for free

― sanskrit, Thursday, 6 September 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago)

The problem is that I don't think I like any of those bands...? And also that I will be on Long Island dressed like a medieval pumpkin.

― Laurel, Thursday, 6 September 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago)

That sounds like an awesome excuse, if the Yahoo Image Search for medieval pumpkin is any indication.

freedom isn't free

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 7 September 2007 18:34 (seventeen years ago)

I'm going to this. does this place fill up? what time 2 go? opening acts don't seem too enticing.

― dmr, Monday, 10 September 2007 17:10 (seventeen years ago)

Hello I am back from being a pumpkin now.

― Laurel, Monday, 10 September 2007 17:26 (seventeen years ago)

Pix?

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 10 September 2007 18:31 (seventeen years ago)

As soon as I have them, which is Not Yet.

― Laurel, Monday, 10 September 2007 18:46 (seventeen years ago)

Saw Silver Apples and Moon Upstairs in Chicago over the weekend.
Moon Upstairs was SO BAD and Simeon was VERY DEPRESSING.

Just fyi.

― Trip Maker, Monday, 10 September 2007 18:51 (seventeen years ago)

yeah i was just thinking no way i will go out to Ridgewood, Queens to punkkeee performance space that might get shutdown for all i know. i guess knitten factory is my only other option. also that night doesn't conflict with an ethiopian band i want to see.

― sanskrit, Monday, 10 September 2007 19:39 (seventeen years ago)

trip maker, does Simoen just use a modern day synthesizer now or does he lug around all the old chunky gear?

― sanskrit, Monday, 10 September 2007 19:41 (seventeen years ago)

he was still using "the simeon" last time i saw them, but i don't know about this tour.

― bell_labs, Monday, 10 September 2007 19:44 (seventeen years ago)

linds what was your band called when you opened for him? or tell me next time you see me if you don't want to post.

― sanskrit, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago)

now I may have changed my mind about going :/

― dmr, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago)

Simeon does not use the Simeon anymore. He basically plays one theremin along with pre-recorded tracks. The drums all sound weak. He can only use one hand, or something. It was sad :(

― Trip Maker, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago)

i was in a band called "creme blush" yes awful name, i know, i did not make that up. they had a second electroclash incarnation with just the lead singer and a different keyboardist but when i was with them it was 4 girls...it was 2001 or 2002 at the cooler

― bell_labs, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:04 (seventeen years ago)

we couldn't have been worse than the ex-models, anyways

― bell_labs, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago)

ive never seen silent barn even be in danger of getting shut down fwiw
but it is kinda far :/

― sleep, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago)

I saw Creme Blush many times but not when you were in the band I don't think. Nicole was her name right? Her and an asian woman.

― dan selzer, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:14 (seventeen years ago)

yes, nicole and satsuki. they made it into the vice guide to electroclash but that was after my time, lol

― bell_labs, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:18 (seventeen years ago)

Simeon does not use the Simeon anymore. He basically plays one theremin along with pre-recorded tracks. The drums all sound weak. He can only use one hand, or something. It was sad :(

ugh, bummerz. thx for the warning.

so anyway .... blues control friday?

― dmr, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

satski. she's awesome. nicole... hm.

― lauren, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:50 (seventeen years ago)

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 September 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago)

Me and Sanskrit have the same probation officer.

― Jon Lewis, Monday, 10 September 2007 21:00 (seventeen years ago)

We could always just drink in wburg instead of going to ridgewood!

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 September 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago)

^SENSE. Who needs theremin when you have doppler effect on a receding reggaeton SUV?

― Jon Lewis, Monday, 10 September 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago)

7/7 NEVAR FORGET

― sanskrit, Monday, 10 September 2007 21:10 (seventeen years ago)

7/7 = no reason

I saw Silver Apples when I was a 30something

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 15:02 (seventeen years ago)

Laurel should be in the next remake of The Wicker Man (INNOCENT STATEMENT)

I see hstencil's faves The Hold Steady are playing for free next week.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago)

MORBS YOU KID BUT WE ACTUALLY HAD TO DO THE MAYPOLE WEAVING EACH AFTERNOON AND TANGLE THE "GREEN MEN" IN OUR WEB. Believe me, the announcer didn't let any historical or pseudo-historical aspect of that tradition go unmentioned.

― Laurel, Tuesday, 11 September 2007 16:27 (seventeen years ago)

LOL i was totally thinking maypole when i saw that pic but didnt want to ask
