Nope, it's free.
And I'm excited about seeing Sonic Youth. Not the Feelies. Yay!
Although at least the Feelies aren't the Slits, who opened for them last year. Their set was resounding Crapola.

They're doing a 3(?) night stint at Maxwell's, which sold out in an hour.

44NOT CRAP.
I love Crazy Rythms. I think the drumming of Anton Fier in that album is my favorite in any album.

Hey, this is kinda good.
I have little doubt they will be good. They're such anal-retentive fuckers that it will probably be good.
I would go see it in about five seconds.

46Part of the sucky thing about working nights is that I never see who's playing, because I can't buy tickets, because nobody will cover my shifts.
Hopefully next semester all the bands I miss in the summertime will play again.
I know, boo fucking hoo.

They had a song called "Roman Circus" I think, where Richard Barone would pound his chest with his fist to make a tremelo, and I thought that was a really good idea, though I have been unable to steal it effectively yet. I don't know if that was ever on a record, but I doubt it would be as good recorded as it was live.
Big Black used to do "Raised Eyebrows" live, and there is an early live cassette release that includes it, and a sort of tribute song called "Race Cars," but I haven't seen my copy in about 20 years, and I don't remember if it is any good.
So, not crap, based on liking them live in 1981, the Throbbing Gristle association, their early singles and Crazy Rhythms, but it ended for me there.
Hey Steve...i remember very well you voted crap for R.E.M.
and now you say the Feelies were good for their first recordings...
beh...to me the first R.E.M.'s recordings were better then everything the Feelies has done...

To me, the Feelies of any vintage are extremely better than R.E.M. of any vintage.

49I picked up a used copy of Good Earth this weekend. I had never heard this record before, but it is pretty damn good. Not quite Crazy Rhythms, but better than say, Television's Adventure.
I would go see these guys.
EDIT: Corrected the album title.

R.E.M. played "fast" on the "early stuff" because of the Feelies, not the Ramones, Television or the Sex Pistols. Look it up. It's hard to separate the goodness of early R.E.M. without taking into account the influence this band had on them.
Besides, the Feelies were a SUPERB live act, mopping the floor with any R.E.M. show I have seen, in real life, or in video. I saw both bands in the mid and late 1980's...
Feelies were great. The end.
