They should have never shut down the forum.

While we’re waiting…my CT variant Forest Hills poster landed today and the tube was badly dented. I’m flattening it now, there are some pretty decent creases, but they’re all on the white parts of the poster so not sure if they’ll be super noticeable (other than to me because I know they’re...

I seem to remember CT exclusive reissues of early albums selling out quickly a few years back?

Just saw the email, got the 404 and assumed it had sold out already. Sounds like maybe not?

They did last night.

It seemed like they were still stocked last night on the way out, but I was planning on buying from the CT store anyway and getting a look at the member version so I didn’t check. I was able to get a foil version of the WoD poster on the way in though!

Great show last night; all three bands killed it. We were 4 back from the rail; I usually don’t go up that far but the rest of my group was enthusiastic and wanted to get there early for Lucius. I highly recommend seeing them up close at least once if you can swing it - obviously Matt is a...

Really it’s one of the best features of the Forest Hills venue (which has a lot of great features). Often still light out when the headliner comes on, which I don’t personally love but YMMV, but it’s definitely worth it to be out of there an hour earlier than usual. Also a lot of good bars in...

Pearl Jam @ MSG x 2 this past week, Jack White @ White Eagle on Monday, War on Drugs + The National @ Forest Hills next Friday.

I was pretty disappointed by N1 (other than the dedicated GTF which was an instant classic and also got me very choked up), but last night was great.

The difference is that Benny is enjoyable to listen to. I just spun the whole thing last weekend. Never gets old.

There’s a standard version: No Name I’m going to hold out hope that either I’ll be able to find a blue copy from an indie, or that they’ll eventually put them up in the Vault store (which they honestly should have done in the first place).

I was at the album launch show for Boarding House Reach at the Warsaw in Brooklyn, and it was hands-down the loudest concert I’ve ever been to. I started wearing earplugs to shows after that. It felt irresponsible.

One week away from the Dublin show - flying out Wednesday night. Going to be epic.

It’s AXS for Forest Hills. I would have expected a single National night at FH to sell out pretty quickly, but with WoD on the bill as well I thought it would be a very hot ticket. These are two bands each headlined the Garden last time they played here (maybe ill-advised in the case of War on...

I’m kind of surprised at how easy it was to get tickets for the Forest Hills show.

That’s an incredible haul. I’m in for MSG 1, will probably find my way into MSG 2, and am heading to Dublin as well.

That’s definitely an acceptable excuse. Pretty disappointed by the generic code for the club presale. Am i misremembering or didn’t they already learn their lesson with this?

My feelings about Newark 10 are complicated. In the moment I enjoyed it less than any other non-festival PJ show I’ve ever been to - the crowd was legitimately terrible (some people claim to have been in rocking sections but they must have been far away from me). You’re right that it was added...

One of the reasons the Newark is “permanently” framed for me is that it doesn’t fit in my 18x24 portfolio (I do also like it quite a bit though). On another wall in my office I have 3 simple, cheap 18x24 frames and I rotate standard-sized posters from my portfolio through them every couple of...
