Re: EC & The Roots play New York's Brooklyn Bowl, Sep. 16, 2

So, after listening to the album today, it got me thinking about the upcoming show? Do you think we'll get a live performance of the album or do you think it'll be a crazy surprising setlist? If they go with the latter, I think there's a few really cool medleys that could be pulled off. (ex. High Fi...

Re: "Brutal Youth" finally getting a vinyl issue!

I’m not normally a shill for Amazon but their preorder guarantee is pretty great. Once your preorder is in, if the price drops before it is released, you get the lower price, and sometimes their price drops to a pretty low level (like the Smashing Pumpkins 4 record box I got for $38). Just keep tra...

Did anyone else in the US per-order from Amazon and have them not send yours because its now out of stock? What's the point in pre-ordering, then?!

Pete was in attendance. I got a chance to say Hi briefly. He's always so nice and said he enjoyed the screening. I wish I had balls enough to ask if there was any upcoming NYC shows planned.

Re: Other artists' songs that remind you of EC

i think anything by the band Sports sounds an awful lot Costello-ish. Especially this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3CBi9-_FHw

Also, I Might from the newest Wilco album definitely sounds like it could have been an EC & The Attractions song.
