The chick from 4 Non Blondes.

Linda Perry? You must be joking. Please tell me you're joking. Give me a fucking break.

Who's that?

I'm taking a wild guess: the one with mouth like Mick Jagger.

She is in MBV? What's going on?

No, not her. It's the one who doesn't have blond hair.

[High ticket prices] + [a long-standing group that seldom performs live] does not necessarily guarantee a bad experience (see: Kraftwerk, who were worth it) so I'm going, despite the venue.

Is it possible that a "beyond state-of-the-art" (sic) sound system could perceptibly mitigate the Aragon's bad acoustics, especially if the main thing about MBV's live sound is that it's insanely loud? Tinnitus ahoy.

I'd like this show not to be a total museum piece -- it'd be nice if they broke out (for example) some of the post-Loveless material that was scrapped, maybe -- but I'm glad to have a chance to hear MBV songs played live in any case.

I want to see them at ATP
