So what's your concert schedule looking like?

Subway Sect are really one of the only mid-tier old school punk bands I never explored much of. Any recommendations for a good intro?

I've got a short collection of what I think might be part of the shelved debut album, given to me by Marky (is that right Marky? It's early demos at least), I can put that up for you when I get home tonight if you'd like. They were always a myth to me, aside from the Ambition single—I read all about them in punk history books but couldn't hear anything at the time.

Correct mate.

Thanks all for the subway sect hookups - I still don't have my primary computer setup going (left my laptop and preferred headphones at the in-laws house, whoops! and the loaner I'm using doesn't really have a good setup for listening to music) but I'll get crackin' once I get my hardware back.

Sounds like a good ambition

Sounds more like a double negative to me.

Hello,

Elvis Costello 11/2 Piedmont Hall Greensboro, NC. This show was more rocking that I anticipated. A selective set - 4 songs from Trust (Clubland, Strict Time, Lover's Walk, Watch Your Step- great by me as that's a terrific album) plus stuff from Armed Forces, Get Happy, This Year's Model, and My Aim is True plus No Hiding Place from Momofuku (another personal favorite and a real surprise). Only 1 song from the new album, Burnt Sugar is so Bitter, and that got some muscle in the execution. Closing triad of Pump It Up/Heart of the City (another pleasant surprise)/What's So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding followed by Alison. A bit short (1:45) as I think he was displeased as the venue is small and was downgraded from an amphitheater next door. He seemed to have fun and was good with the crowd - all in all, a fun evening with some great songs - mostly early Elvis - as I said earlier it was a kind of greatest hits but not all the songs you would expect.

I'd post a picture (I actually took one despite my dislike of phones at concerts) but I don't know how to post the file.

A friend of mine knew a guy in a band who had a song called "Bela Lugosi's Drunk." Ever since he told me that, I don't hear the "dead" part in the song.

Peter Hook & The Light are coming back to Minneapolis in early November, less than a year after their last visit.

I loved their previous show and I'm going to see them again.

Woo hoo!

I'm glad I went, though the show was somewhat disappointing.

The venue had sound problems, which is rare for First Avenue.

Hooky's voice was mixed too low, as was sound from the lead guitarist.

And there were times when the band was a little bit off rhythmically.

But, of course, I loved their closing song, "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

How was PH's mood? One thing that has always seemed apparent in listening to his shows is that he truly loves playing Joy Division songs, more so than New Order. It doesn't seem rote with him.

He was in a good mood, and cracked a few good jokes between songs.

He was a little bit chattier last year, though.

The funniest thing he said was before playing "World In Motion" (which I thought I'd never hear played live) when he said he didn't care what the crowd might think about the song, he was going to play it because "I think it's a fucking brilliant song."

And I agree with you about your observation on his enthusiasm for Joy Division songs.

Oh god, he's also got brain rickets over that song. It'd be as if Joe never shut up about "Dictator."
