You know, I had never seen Almost Live until I moved out here but they used to show reruns after SNL on Saturday Night/ Early Sunday mornings. It’s great but very, of it’s time and place (late 80s early 90s Seattle) even if some of the jokes were occasionally lame I feel like it better helped me understand a bit more what it was like being around the Seattle area during a time of great change.

It was definitely of its time/place. It got so popular KING (Seattle NBC channel) pushed Saturday Night Live (going through their post-Eddie drought) to start at midnight and ran Almost Live at its normal 11:30 time slot

As kids we were real goofballs when we went to Mariners games and used to re-enact Bill Nye as “Speedwalker” as we walked up the ramps in the Kingdome. Also, Pat Cashman was the only person I’ve ever felt completely star struck when I met them

My favorite part was how specific some of the comedy was, like they would make jokes about the different neighborhoods like Ballard being full of of slow driving Nordic grandparents and Renton the home of inbred trailer trash and lumberjacks; most people aren’t gonna get those references outside of Seattle.

That being said, making sketch comedy at the same time Seattle was become apart of the cultural zeitgeist nationally with the rise of Microsoft, Grunge music, and Starbucks probably helped broaden their appeal and was comedic gold.

Joel McHale started out on there. He was a King 5 intern and started doing sketches

And some pieces were universal, like Uncle Fran hyping his new album

 
F yeah! Insta buy.

So the name of the tour doesn't mean it's their last tour, it's a reference to the album title, phew! I was genuinely worried about that until now.

Also, I know the album descriptions are meant to get us excited, but if this – from the description – is true, wow: "End is perhaps the “grandest” Explosions In The Sky album."

I love that first FIF album so much.
 
Café Tacvba's Un Segundo Unplugged is getting a vinyl release. There's currently 2 editions for preorder, but I think they are only shipping in Mexico. If anyone wants any help let me know.



Personally I'm not a fan of how this concert was mastered(at least for audio, because on video it sounds ok). It sounds weird for me, not their usual output.
