I'm worried we won't have any choice... the local elementary school playground is only about two hundred yards from our place...

No FNC Diverzant at the first big outdoor show in Austin 😲

It’s gonna be like the very first concert little Anja ever hears 😍

Nah, you're wrong... I've got a ton of old posters in my archive that actually say "listening lounge". Honestly, I think I have most of them from back in the nineties. Before I started designing and printing program booklets for KSET a little over five years ago, the posters kind of took a backseat because those booklets were such a killer way to promote things. They’ve made a comeback lately, though. I haven't really been keeping tabs on them recently, so I didn't even notice if they switched up the wording again...

😂

They really love hanging out with the crowd after a show... like, seriously. It used to be a huge thing where they’d grab drinks with everyone, but things would sometimes get a little too wild (I remember one time an octopus practically wouldn't let go of the soundboard and ended up sliding right off the stage after the set finished). Lately though, they've been keeping the drinking to a minimum...

As for listening station number 4, I honestly think Mate would get totally overshadowed since those Banderas bands are way more mainstream and have a much bigger following... so yeah, station 4 just doesn't make any sense. 😳

i swear I meet some weirdos every single day on this site
major snob alert over at Xet

hehe you totally misread me... back about 8 years ago, I was actually one of the two guys deciding whether we should call it a "listening room" or just a "listening space." Even though the second way is shorter and easier to say, the first version felt more right to us, and honestly, it’s more grammatically correct too...
ever since then, everyone at the club always used the first term, so seeing what Emily Thomas3 wrote really caught me off guard...
it's kind of like how they used to charge an "entrance fee" at Xet, but lately, it's more like an "admission charge"... personally, I liked the old way better, but I guess time just moved on, just like it did with the terminology. 😉

Emily Thomas3 said:So, sometimes I'll type "listening room" and sometimes "listening lounge." I go with the lounge because it's technically right, but I use the room version since that's how everyone talks on Xet.

Back in the day on Xet, we always used the term "listening lounge," whereas over on those old message boards, people just called it a "room"... honestly, it feels like you younger folks grew up with the old-school board terminology.

somewhere near $13 the ticket's gonna cost...

Honestly, I think it’s pretty cool that Sick of It All is playing at the local dive bar in two days. Back when they were touring those tiny, remote towns across middle America, Octopus used to hang out with a bunch of teenagers—mostly Puerto Rican and Black kids—who basically acted as his security detail... He once really opened up to me about his life, and man, his story is absolutely wild...
I could easily make a movie about growing up as a Native American kid (believe it or not, he actually is) in a super racist part of New Jersey...

Yeah, he was basically riding on top of some aggressive locals who suddenly swerved hard right at high speed, while he just kept going straight... I don't even get how he missed those pillars near the old Bethlehem Steel plant... probably just flew right over them and landed in that thicket where that Chase Bank robber used to hide a few years back.
Man, feels like I'm describing an action movie instead of just hanging out after a concert. 😲

what was he even doing?

Man, where do I even start... remember that time in San Francisco when they played with Fantômas and the Melvins? He went on during their set and just did this massive fifteen-minute improv session. He was hitting his Vestax mixer and Technics turntables so hard he practically trashed them—if you can even break those things—and ended up with broken bones and sliced-up hands...

Or that crazy thing that happened near Limp Bizkit's last tour stop... I saw him at the hotel that morning, and once I heard what he’d pulled off, I honestly didn't know how he was still standing. 😲

He's a genuinely great guy, but man, when he loses it, he goes absolutely nuclear.😎
