Re: “The New Pornographers at The Cannery Ballroom, 6/27/10”
Man, the only negative report I read about Neko recently was when she yelled at a fan for throwing a CD at AC Newman in Boston, and when I saw her at Bonnaroo and at the Ryman I didn't get the feeling that she was anything but glad to be there. Maybe she didn't talk to the audience a lot, but I guess that's just not her thing. I've never even read an interview where she was described as anything but polite and easy to talk to. I even stopped her after the show and she was nothing if not incredibly nice to me.
michelle, I agree that musicians have to suck it up when they're not feeling well, but I must be alone here in thinking that the show was actually a lot of fun, though certainly not perfect. Maybe I was just jazzed that it was so much better than the last time I saw them when they didn't interact with each other at all (and neither Neko nor Dan were there), and the bass player sat down for a large part of it.
Alwayshungry, I was at that Destroyer show too, and while I didn't think he showed contempt for the audience I didn't exactly get the impression that he loved playing live. I was actually shocked that he came on stage for any songs that he didn't sing lead vocals on.

Nice guitar!

I don't think it was Neko being a diva. She wasn't feeling well at all and missed the soundcheck because of it according to someone who was there. Also, I can't blame her for being pissed when she kept getting feedback in her ear monitors or when she couldn't hear herself.
I actually really enjoyed the show, especially the moments when Carl Newman and Neko would have their little exchanges. It might have been a little long, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
Re: “Awesome Video of Ian Mackaye Eviscerating the Straight Edge 'Movement'”
sXe kids were always treated really poorly at my high school - maybe modern sXe is a reaction to things that like.
I'm wary to identify myself with any movement like that. You don't need a label to not drink and do drugs anymore than you need a label to eat bacon. It's a personal choice that a lot of people, myself included, have made, and I just DO NOT see the point in people being INSANE about it.
Re: “Hole Play The Ryman June 29; Other Awful Stuff”
This one really surprises me. I'd be SHOCKED if Hole did anything close to selling out the Ryman. I mean, I love Live Through This and Celebrity Skin is pretty good, but Courtney Love just keeps singing about the same crap.

Easiest decision ever.
Re: “Ke$ha on Saturday Night Live: Pretty Weird!”
Dude, don't even say that it wasn't hilarious, because it totally was.
