    Think we're gonna see us some GWAR at House of Blues soon. I wonder if Elwood knows how they treat a venue.

    Not at all. I had a friend show me a song the other day. It was very forgetful.

    Not my cup of tea, I suppose.

    Great to hear, we go on second so around 11:30-ish. Admission is super-cheap at $6 as well.

    Agreed. I mean, it's alright, but everyone keeps acting like it's the best thing since the best thing, telling me I'd like it, but every time i check it out I'm like

    ...


    Just not my bag, I guess.

    I didn't become a fan of The National until this year, when High Violet came out. I really really love that album, and because of it I'm now going back and getting familiar with their earlier work.

    I just enjoy the music and feel that I can relate to it pretty well. Yeah some of their lyrics can be a bit of a downer, but sometimes that is what speaks to people. Their songs feel very honest to me and I think that's what I like about them the most.

    Maybe they're just not your thing. I feel that same 'meh' when I hear people raving about Interpol and The Walkmen. Or even Dirty Projectors. Just not my cup of tea.

    i'm terrible at explaining why i like certain music. i dig the dude's voice and stage presence. they rock a lot harder live than on their studio stuff as well.

    In all due respect this is an idiotic question especially for someone like you who listens to alot of music. It is like me asking your son why he likes Justin Bieber.

    There is no right answer. There will never be an right answer.

    Who is opening for Built to Spill? Has the potential to be the best concert I've ever been to.

    Junius, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, with Porcelain Arms, Dylan The Astronaut, and Wormrider. October 29th, at The Collective , Shreveport, LA

    It's not Houston, but it's the best I could swing.

    bring some shadows if it's all you got.
