and then...

Ahh John I love that humor.
I went to a great show last night. It wasn't very long but the band only has one CD and I got in free so I can't complain. Anyhoo the reason I bring this up is because during the show I got an epiphany about what is necessary to have a good show. They include the following in no particular order (all of these were at the show last night)
1. the warm up band did a synchronized dance routine at the end of their set (by far the funniest thing I have ever seen)
2. heavy use of a cow bell and/or a tamborine during almost every song
3. everyone in the band should have a microphone even if they say nothing
4. a synthesizers with pianist to play it
5. everyone in the band should wear a tie
6. one of the members has to be way older then the rest
7. lead singer should do a lot ackward jumps, drop kicks, and lines of cocaine
8. every song should have the following words: NA, NA, NA, NA, NA or LA, LA, LA, LA, LA
which is song by the drummer exclusively
9. the guitarist plays with his guitar up by his nipples (Rage against the machine style)
10. at the end of each song the lead singer who is playing the cow bell or tamborine, chucks it into the air and kicks everythig in a couple of feet radius to the ground requiring the stage hand to come out and do some touch ups.
11. when attending this show the guy next to you has to dance like he is listening to reggae music but you don;t laugh at him because he is huge and shows a hint of insanity in his eyes

J if you can incorporate any of this into your upcoming breakout tour I think it will go far more smoothly. Work on a synchronized dance, man was it hilarious.

Since getting an ipod I feel the need to stay current with music I like and spend miltiple hours throughout the day looking for new bands. Has anyone else experiences this?
Going with the ontario wines tonight, tis one of lyndsay's friends friends birthday so I am tagging along.
Fundamentals are key (BOARDS!!!!)
Ed you say limeny is good huh, I wanted to see that but haven't had the chance yet. I bought anchorman the other day for 16$. Man that movie is funny. Almost as good as monty python and the search for the holy grail whcih I have probably watched 5 or 7 times now, so good. Lords of dogtown is a skate movie mr allas so you might want to look into it. It is suppose to be good so I here.
