well, i heard the rumor that they may open for pearl jam somewhere else
too - so i think that we took that cryptic email correctly (your
disection of cowboy dan was kinda funny, though). on pearl jam, i cant
believe anyone thinks that their later stuff is even tolerable. no
code and yield are virtually unlistenable, in my opinion.
and the t-shirt idea sounds intriguing...
anyway, everyone should pick up the new ida live cd from insound. 18
songs, 74 minutes, 6 or 7 bucks. cant beat that. and i hear theyre
currently DESTROYING pedro the lion on tour as well. i dont find that too
hard to believe.
