The last time I saw Von anywhere near that kind of vocal form was way back at the 1997 Philly show at the Electric Factory. Truly enjoyable show at Fenway, Von was actually going for some high notes -- for a moment, I actually thought he might break out "Comfortably Numb." But the lyrics w...

Von actually looks happy in "Here"! :eek: Just read a quote from Von saying he is feeling "chipper" and ready to rock. Gotta love it. Don't know if I believe that he's never heard "Nebraska" though. Really, Andrew? I'm seeing him this evening and an really jacked for i...

This is the best I've heard them live in a long time.

TSOM fandom is paralleled only by Star Wars fandom to the extent that the fans are actively angry with the object of their fandom. Von has gotten to a position where he can do whatever the hell he feels like, and not do it if he doesn't feel like it. If the way in which TSOM runs at the moment stop...

I´m just eternally grateful that other artists do things differently. I mean, Nick Cave COULD have chosen to only perform great songs like Frogs and Final Rescue Attempt live on his current tour, instead he chose to record and release them on the amazing Wild God album. Very grateful for that. Have...

Of course, but he always raises that as a reason. It doesn't matter. He doesn't have to do anything for anyone, which at this point in his career and in life, in general, is a pretty good place to be. He's financially well off, he has no boss, he has no pressure, he can make new music at any time, ...

As I mentioned before, the technology caught up with Von and allowed him to "release" music in the form of gazillions of YouTube clips of songs old and new being performed live around the world. He's made it clear, he doesn't see the point in spending a lot of his time and the others' tim...

So I'm just gonna leave this here: If they'd released the new songs, they wouldn't be downsizing this US tour. Promoters would have something to push, old fans who'd fallen away would have something to let them re-engage with the band, and new fans would have something they could stream in advance ...

If Von was that fussed or upset about the potential for downsizing, which has been looking likely for a while, he'd have done something to counter it. He hasn't so presumably he isn't, so I don't see any reason or need for anyone else to be. Anyone doing so is just getting upset over their own expe...

I guess Dynamic Pricing can go both ways

After that price drop, the next step is "tour cancelled."

I really didn't look closely at the venues since I'm miffed they're not coming to Tampa or St. Pete (Jannus in St. Pete would be an amazing spot for them). The only Florida stop is, strangely, St. Augustine. But with less than a month before the start, looking at the available tickets in a lot of t...

There's a newish venue in Boston down by Fenway Park, Danzig played there recently and did good business. SoM are playing there this September, and there are scads of seats available, not to mention GA floor tickets. The section of seats we had for Danzig was sold out, and as of now, the same sectio...
