To continue in this week's music theme, did I mention I'm off to see Tool in a few weeks? I will be joined at the Edmonton show by the illustrious tim, his roommate Ugly Bob, and some friends of mine from Saskatoon. This will be my second chance to check them out on this tour . . . the show in Vancouver last fall was unbelievable. I'd definitely recommend it if they're coming anywhere near you.
Not sure what the big deal is? The best Tool information sites I know of are toolshed.down.net and the official band site, www.toolband.com. I'm sure there are plenty of fan sites kicking around as well, but these update earliest and pretty much directly from the band.
You may now return to listening to your Jimmy Eat World cd, ble-otch.
you're pretty smug for a guy from saskatoon. who's your target audience here?
Posted by: ben on September 13, 2002 08:46 PMWell, that has yet to be determined. It apparently doesn't include your Jimmy Eat World-listening ass.
I'd like to think of this as a place where people can get along, share ideas, and sometimes pick up. It is also the exclusive internet front for my own shameless aggrandizement.
Ugly Bob sure plays Jimmy Eat World a lot. Or at least he did four weeks ago. Combined with that Nickelback guy on infinite loop, it's been quite a summer in this town.
Warcode, no shame!
Posted by: tim on September 14, 2002 04:15 PMNo shame whatsoever.
I only hope that the Tool concert will help you to feel better, my friend.
Posted by: warcode on September 14, 2002 07:24 PMgonna have to disagree with the tool show in vancouver being "unbelievable". they played one track off of opiate and nothing off of undertow, their 2 best albums. they did play lots of aenema, which is good but i really did not want to hear their whole album. they just don't seem to have the live energy they used to have either. this show was quite lacklustre when compared with their performance at lollapalooza 93 (whatever the year was that primus headlined with alice in chains and others)
Posted by: mike on September 15, 2002 05:24 PMoops. when i said i didn't want to hear their whole album, i meant the new one, lateralus.
Posted by: mike on September 15, 2002 07:17 PMYou'll have to forgive me for not making it to Lollapalooza '93 (I wish . . .). I haven't been to a ton of concerts, but the Tool one I went to was amazing by my standards. It's not like the '93 Lollapalooza tour is still running . . . and besides, the music is a bit different now - more introspective I'd say - which could contribute to a different kind of live energy.
