U2 Sucks Now

I understand that they are the most prolific rock band, probably in the history of music. I realize they have fans, the world over. They have one of the most impressive music catalogs in the history of music.

That being said, no band in the world has the right to charge what they charge to go to their concert.

Their show at Gund Arena, which will sell out proving that ticket prices aren’t out of line with supply and demand, has ticket levels of:

$49.50
$95.00
$160.00

I understand people will pay it, but that doesn’t make it right. $160 for a concert experience is over the line of decency. Are we talking about 2 hours of music? Even if they play for three hours, that is just too much.

Just my opinion.

2005 Summer Tour Announcements

After a poor year of summer concert ticket sales in 2004, this year hopes to be better for touring bands. Coldplay, The Dave Matthews Band, Weezer, NIN and others will be planning tours this summer. Depending on the venues (and not including DMB) I will probably try to head out and see some of these bands.

Also Nine Inch Nails is supposedly going to play more modestly sized venues than its last arena tour five years ago. Not sure what that means, but it would be nice to see them in a place that holds less than 10,000 people.

The Company Line Meets with a Producer

My band had a special practice last night to work with our producer friend. Check the story out here on our band site.

Orgazmo Comes to DVD

Parker and Matt Stone’s cult classic “Orgazmo” will finally make its way to DVD in a special-edition disc to be released March 29… The DVD features include a “drunken” audio commentary with the “South Park” creators and their friends; a second commentary with random admirers including Kevin Smith, Dave Foley and “Weird Al” Yankovic;

Get your Netflix Queues ready! Or you can borrow it from me because I am going to be buying this one.

Stepping up the Spam Fight

Anti-spam becomes a viable academic research topic.

Jose Canseco Asks for Immunity

Sure, Jose has no problem writing a book and taking all the profits, but when it comes to actually owning up to the activities in which he partook, then he wants immunity. Let me tell you what, Jose. You can have your immunity when you donate the profits of the book to some charity. Bottom-feeding loser.

Cavs Double C Hand Gesture

Now that Usher is a part owner of the Cavs, he has brought a new hand gesture for the Cavs. This is really schticky, but it will be interesting to see if it catches on. How long until players are making the Double-C gesture after huge dunks? The fans need to be energized, but is this the answer?

Fiona Apple is Caged

Apparently, Fiona Apple finished an album in 2003 and Sony has crapped the bed and decided not to release it because they don’t think it will sell. Last time I checked, Fiona Apple’s first two albums both went platinum and her version of Across the Universe from the Pleasantville soundtrack is just incredible. Anyway, some crazy Fiona Apple fans have started a site to try and get the album released. They had Apple’s fans send different packages to Andrew Lack who took over at the helm of Sony.

Also, I found a copy of the album online and it is really good. I will certainly buy a copy if and when it comes out properly.

Maroon 5 Get a Free Pass

I really do like a couple songs by Maroon 5 and despite the fact that I like what I like and don’t do the guilty pleasure thing anymore, I was looking for a good excuse to give this band a free pass. Old habits die hard I guess.

Lead singer Adam Levine on his band vs. Creed – “People hated Creed. They don’t hate us. At worst, they just don’t really like us. Creed … had that attitude, they pontificated about how great they were, they had a horribly generic band. They were easy to hate and we’re just, you know, easy to disregard.”

We’re just easy to disregard. Almost as self-aware as Mark McGrath naming his album 14:59

Gaming for the Blind

I have enough trouble playing games like this even though I can see. Imagine follwing the sound to shoot.
