<< Much fun was had by all at Club "get on the good" Foot, this past
Thursday.
There were so many new faces, and many good tunes. Even with all the drama,
everything turned out great. I hope it good birthday Ben!
Friday nite, Sloan played at the Metro (Chicago). Maybe I just need to hear
more of their music, but I was not very impressed. They got a good turnout
and the opening band (Flashing Lights) were pretty cool. Anyone else think
the show stunk?

Erm, yes. I wasn't that pleased with their new set. They played more of their
newer material which has a completely different vibe.
Navy Blues was a wonderfully produced album, high-energy, very tight
instrumentation and no loose harmonies.
I found that the newer material didn't have the same appeal. The transition
that Sloan makes from album to album isn't all that smooth.
Their earlier efforts were very light & poppy. Not tooo much rock.
Navy Blues was really Wingsish in the bass, the guitar was very Townsend, the
keys were very Lennon - very dirivitave, but a whole lotta rock. This newer
material doesn't have the same energy. I would recommend that you at least
hear Navy Blues.
I consider a staple - not so original, but all in all good! (having trouble
believing that I constructed a sentence with "all" & "good" right next to
eachother.)
God Bless Miss Misa,

Question - Is anyone else like me as far as when you go to shows, you have to
be upfront? Like I can't stand not seeing them actually play... I found
myself separating myself from the clan because I insisted on being in front.
( I think the fact that I'm really short has something to do w/it. )
