better than last two because less country but still just a perfect-pop band, IndieRockBoy has been promoting this band…

August 19, 2004: The Magnolia Electric Co., Emo’s, Austin TX

mortifying, they were a watered-down average country bar band, I was jaw-dropped disappointed but they moved me with songs I knew finally, I will still love them but the love will be a private love

OregonGirl has been calling them WMMF, that fool boy who sold MyFirstLove’s gang free SXSW wristbands in efforts to sleep with TroubleGirl (per her) is their guitarist—and he danced like a stiff-legged seizure kid, they were good though, nice vocals, I totally forget their sound right now, melancholy singing and upbeat pop rock I think

08.09.2004 Alanis Morissette Tweeter Center, Mansfield, MA

August 9th, 2004 · No Comments

The tour shirt on sale had a naked alanis in front of five naked Ladies. It was almost too much to think I would ever wear it in public, so I left my wallet tucked in my pocket.
Alanis tore through her set with her typical visceral aplomb. She stuck heavily to the first album, [...]

08.09.2004 Barenaked Ladies / Alanis Morissette Au Naturale Tour Tweeter Center, Mansfield, MA My friend Erin and I have already seen BNL three times this year, and only the double bill with Alanis ensured a fourth. Erin doesn’t know I bought her a ticket. Shh.
A typical night with the Barenaked Ladies included a trio of [...]
