I just got back from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs show. I had a wonderful time. It was Hell getting a ticket, but it was worth it.
That being said, when did the 9:30 Club become so evil? Charging $6 for a 12oz beer? Really? I mean, come on. That's ridiculous. I actually did a double take when I ordered a Boddington's and the bartender told me that was going to set me back eight (!) dollars. I always thought the rules of supply and demand would never apply to alcohol since I was always in demand of it. But the 9:30 Club proved me wrong. You can actually charge so much for booze that I don't want it anymore.
This only augmented my anger towards the 9:30 Club. They totally botched the distribution of Yeah Yeah Yeah tickets. Here I am, a fan of the band, trolling Craig's List looking for some help getting into the show. Who got the tickets? The tickets I wanted? The tickets I convinced myself I deserved? Hipsters? No.
Fuckin' Yeah-Dudes.
Example #1: The guy in the New York Yankees (aka BALCO East) shirt who was spraying his Miller Lite at his comrades. What a pleasure it was to see him making shadow puppets while the opening band, Blood on the Wall (who were good), was playing. What an inconsiderate asshole. He almost made my night.
Almost.
I say, almost, because Example #2 was my all-time favorite jackass. He had the uniform down pat. Full yeah-dude regalia. Sandals. Khaki shorts. A tight black shirt. A goofy, shit-eating grin. He was a silly hat away from having his yeah-dudeness implode the universe.
But the clincher! Oh, the sweet, sweet clincher. He was drinking Guinness. A Guinness...wait for it, wait for it....
A Guinness straight out of the can.
ROFL LOL LMAO HAHALAHJV]V
What a fucking tool. I sincerely hope, somewhere down the road, I run into him again. He was an absolute pleasure.

THE YEAH YEAH YEAH'S SUCK SHIT
ReplyDeleteTHAT SHIT IS NOT ROCK IT IS GARBAGE
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LIVE IN AN ERA WHERE THE MUSICAL LANDSCAPE IS TOTAL COMPLETE DISPOSABLE TRASH?
FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL LOOK BACK AT THE MUSIC OF TODAY AND LAUGH THEIR ASSES OFF AT HOW MUCH IT SUCKED
NOSTALGIA FOR TODAY'S HIPSTERS AND THEIR HOMO ROCK WILL BE NONEXISTENT AND HIPSTER BASHING WILL BE COMMON PLACE
SAME GOES FOR HIP HOP AND R&B MUSIC OF TODAY
IT ALL SUCKS SHIT
BUT REGARDLESS OF THE MUSIC BEING TRASH AT LEAST YOU ENJOYED YOURSELF AT THE CONCERT AND IN THE END THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS
GO CAPS!!!!!!
yeah yeah yeahs fuckin rocked last night. good show.
ReplyDeleteWhat are hipsters? Who is a hipster?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Sparks from a can?
ReplyDeleteRock is DEAD!
ReplyDeleteIts been dead for nearly a decade now.
I'd kill for a Sparks right now. $47 worth of Sparks would be great.
ReplyDeleteHow about Arcade Fire or the Walkmen?
ReplyDeleteWell, now you got me worried that I might be a tool. In college, I always detested the (I guess you could call them) "jocks" who wore the silly white baseball caps but since when do sandals and kacki shorts (as opposed to jean capris) become so bad? And you gotta wear a tight black shirt to show off the guns, right? Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHow does a hipster dress?
Khaki shorts are acceptable as long as you don't have a shit-eating grin and/or drive a Jeep. Sandals are never acceptable unless you're at a DMB concert (and if you're at a DMB concert, we're presented with a whole 'nother set of problems).
ReplyDeleteAs for hipsters, I refuse to speak for or of them.
WICKED PISSAH GUY
ReplyDeletehaha ha ha ha ha
were they blaring DMB???
were they?
YA LIKE SYSTEM HEY?!?!?
AHAHAHAHA
The dove shadow puppet was awful...as was the fact that said shadow-puppet-master kept trying to hand his drink to people at varying intervals throughout the show. Nobody accepted, so I think he ended up drinking his own roofies last night.
ReplyDeleteand can you ask whoever it is that leaves entire manuscripts on here in CAPS to please use their indoor voice(s) THERE'S NO NEED TO YELL
ReplyDeletewhats wrong with sandals? what about the sandals of the adidas variety when you're too lazy to tie up sneakers/shoes? I think sneakers with shorts is wack. It's just not "deck."
ReplyDeleteLet me vomit now.
Good.
What I would like to see is today's Yeah Dude travel back in time to meet a Yeah Dude of the 90's. How would he react to the Stussi shirts and Chumbawumba?
ReplyDeleteDith, he's yelling because he won't turn down the System, hey.
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
ReplyDeleteOh God, those Addidas sandals are awful--anyone wearing them should get taken out by the gay mafia in Dupont Circle. But I hate the sneaks w/ shorts, too. Get some clogs, damnit.
ReplyDeleteI think if today's Dude met Dude of Yesteryear he'd admire the dude's "vintage" jeep. I actually recall seeing five guys wearing white baseball caps cruising along our campus in a... Jeep. And yes, they actually said "yeah, dude."
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
ReplyDelete-BOB
Get some clogs?
ReplyDeleteIf that isn't DC I don't know what is, fuck this pretentious shithole....
ONLY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW SHIT ABOUT ROCK MUSIC ARE THE ONES WHO THINK ALL THOSE BANDS ARE GOOD
ReplyDeleteANYONE WITH A DECENT KNOWLEDGE OF ROCK MUSIC AND IT'S HISTORY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THAT
THE YEAH YEAH YEAH'S AND THE REST OF THAT HIPSTER SHIT IS FUCKING GARBAGE
THAT SHIT IS NOT EVEN ROCK
WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH HERE IS AN ENTIRE NEW GENERATION OF DUMB FUCKS WHO DO NOT KNOW SHIT ABOUT MUSIC
THAT IS WHY TODAYS MUSICAL LANDSCAPE IS TOTAL COMPLETE DISPOSABLE TRASH
LIKE I SAID BEFORE FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL LOOK BACK AT TODAY'S MUSIC AND LAUGH THEIR ASSES OFF AT HOW MUCH THIS SHIT SUCKS DONKEY DICK
FUCKING HIPSTERS BUY SOME CLOTHES THAT FUCKING FIT YOU
SAME THING WITH ALL YOU HIP HOP BLING BLING ICE GRILLZ PIMP YO RIDE WANNABE HUSTLERS AND GANGSTERS
BUY SOME CLOTHES THAT FUCKING FIT YOU TOO
YES ROCK IS DEAD THAT SHIT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR LONGER THAN A DECADE MY FRIEND
THE SHIT WILL ONLY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS AT LEAST FRED DURST IS NO LONGER A FACTOR IN MUSIC ANYMORE
WHAT A BASTARD AND A WASTE OF PAYOLA DOLLARS FOR HIS RECORD LABEL AND ON TOP OF THAT HE WAS A WIGGER TOO
GO CAPS!!!!!
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteLet's go out sometime. You can buy the drinks and I will plug a $20 in the jukebox and blast Led Zeppelin's Lemon Song all night long.
The words YEAH YEAH YEAHS and ROCKED should not be allowed to even be in the same sentence together
ReplyDeletePeople in khakis and sandals at shows suck...who cares..Krystal Koons gave me a killer hummer in the bathroom stall!
ReplyDeleteIf you are always in demand of alcohol, shouldn't the price go up?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteThe point is I never thought a club would take it so far that I am no longer in demand of alcohol.
Blood on the Wall fucking rule. I now hate you more than ever, Rusty.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding.
Tommy
What is a hispter? I have decided that a hipster is this: anyone who has more friends in the city than you.
ReplyDeletePeriod.
Tommy
Hockey sucks.
ReplyDeleteTommy
I like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I'm far from a hipster. I guess we should all listen to garage rock and wear jeans and t-shirts all of the time. Diversity is not a bad word.
ReplyDeleteHey anonymous (= loser wuss), lose the CAPS LOCK key and instead of just yelling how all of today's music sucks, tell us what you like. So what is it, music-critic-buddy? Miss those heady days when Foreigner, Bad Company, Pat Benetar, and Molly Hatchet ruled the musical landscape? Or maybe Duran Duran and Elton John was more your style? Ooh, guess not if you don't like "homo rock."
