  1. 113 bux for the national in a giant arena. hahahahahahahahaha
  2. The last time i saw the national was at the racetrack and they'd undersold the venue so they just let people from the high seats and lawn into the pit and lower seats to fill it up
  3. wish the moody center would stop gobbling up all these medium capacity bands and tripling the cost
  4. take that back about Alien. Just re-listened and it probably one of the better melodies even though i don't love the lyrics. probably goes right after Grease for me.
  5. There is not enough Bryan Devendorf on this album for my taste. And I hate when artists drip-feed singles months before the album release; it ruins the anticipation and excitement of hearing the songs in context. I think the best songs were the ones already released, kind of like seeing the best parts of a movie in the preview. There aren't enough percussions-driven bangers on this album, fine. But the lyrics get a bit schmaltzy on the slow jams and the melodies are a bit trite on the uptempo jams. I like it because Matt makes everything sound pretty good for the most part and its The National. It'll take me a while to love this album i think, once i'm able to align the prereleases back into the album and hear them in the context the band/producer wanted them, but right now its on the lower end of favorite TN albums. How I'd rank the tracks: 1. Tropic Morning News 2. New Order T-shirt 3. Eucalyptus (best drums) 4. This isn't Helping 5. Grease in Your Hair 6. Once Upon a Poolside 7. Send for Me 8. Ice Machines 9. Your Mind is Not Your Friend 10. The Alcott (really wanted more from this one) 11. Alien * I reserve the right to change my mind after seeing this album live. Can't wait.
  6. I'm almost all the way through this an its fuckin funny as shit. Barbara deserves a golden globe.

  16. I've loved, LOVED em since 1995, they is on my dreamlist of shows i will undoubtedly never see get to see before I die, the other maybe being a Smiths reunion. Super jealous, and a hometown gig to boot, uuuggh. Please report back how it was!
  17. FYI, since Batch went away from the extremely niche beer and hired one of the Live Oak brewers to lead their revamped program, the beer is basically Live Oak 2. Really, really freakin good stuff with a heavily rotational brewing schedule. I had a 3.6% English Dark Mild yesterday that was a perfect breakfast brew, and a dark czech lager a couple weeks ago that's been on my mind since. several years. that place stresses me out.

    Jeeeeesus fuck, did wolff visit the berhalter camp this winter and decide to model our entire attack after his world cup model? yes i know they were together at columbus, but this was NOT our attacking philosophy last season. Slog it through the wings, pass it around the 18 without any clear intent, cross it into nobody inside the 6. Nice. Nice. It looks like Shaka's 30-second three pointer offense.

    yes, gallagher is being wasted on rigoni's side and fagundez has hit a wall without a real wingback to support his runs. However, Zan's left is a tool and because dumbass wolff thought he bought a legit 9 poacher, we decided to swing 1000 crosses from Zan into the box without success. Probably shoulda got someone better than cement block zardes to slip one home. Anyway, i actually think this might be addition by subtraction if wolff gets his shit together and plays gallaher on the left so we can get momentum going forward with the gal-fagundez-druissi triangle and not through the backpass merchant, two-left feet rigoni

    Dammit, that sucks. He's my favorite ATXFC player. So, Gallagher back to LB and Lima to RB. Gallagher at LB will help Fagundez and I bet we'll see better attacking. This is probably a better back line for what Wolff wants to do anyway.
  24. Loved it, as did my 7 year old. I'm not a movie re-watcher at all, once is enough for me, but I felt compelled to see this once more in the theatre to catch all the easter eggs and subtle jokes i missed. [As an aside, the referbished Flix Brewhouse is fantastic. Its like peak Alamo Drafthouse circa 2004-2008. Same pre-movie entertainment, but every menu item is made in house, including their own pizza starter, hummus, all that stuff. And beers were like 6-6.50 depending on the style and the two I had were pretty damned good (a peach IPA and a coffee porter). Alamo's food is shite now and the beer prices are absurd, like $9-$12 for a pint wtf? Flix's seats were gigantic and go back further than Alamo's. 11/10 experience. Anyway, probably my default theatre now.]
