Post-Game Talk: Sens @ Wild - Jan 14, 2014

[Slack]

If we're doing 90's tunes, you HAVE to include these dudes

 

[MtRundle]

how did Patty Wier look?

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Pixies (the origin of it all!), Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, Sebadoh, Superchunk, Hole, and could go on and on.

I'm seeing the pixies in a few weeks.

 

[Benjamin]

meh. Made some nice plays, made some lazy ones. Same old same old

He's looking his best this season. Not 2011 level tho.

 

[BonkTastic]

Pixies

 

[DrEasy]

I'm seeing the pixies in a few weeks.

Is it their Doolittle reunion tour (was great when they played it in Ottawa a couple of years ago) or the new material (surprisingly not bad at all)?

 

[BonkTastic]

Is Kim Deal still in the band?

Regardless, you're in for a treat, I hope. At their best, they are absolute MACHINES on stage. Hopefully it isn't one of those "going through the motions" concerts that sometimes unfortunately happen.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

These guys made some of their best stuff in the 90s

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Thought he looked good, smart with the puck. as usual

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Pretty sure they'll be playing mostly their new material.

 

[DrEasy]

I seem to recall you saying you also went to that reunion concert in Gatineau at the hockey rink. Memorable stuff! Kim had that goofy drunken smile the whole night. I have the live CD that they pressed on site.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Add me to list of people who dislike Oasis. Every time Noel opens his mouth I facepalm. Their music is more vanilla than Fox News.

 

[DrEasy]

Sebadoh anyone?


They recently reunited too. Hopefully they'll play at Bluesfest?

I'll have to ask my one friend he's the huge pixies fan I like them a lot but don't know them in depth. I've always been mostly punk/ska and prog rock guy. Just saw Animal Collective last month and it was the greatest thing ever I waited for that show for over a year.

 

[Senscore]

I missed the Pixies concert at the civic centre a few years back and have never forgiven myself.

Yep! Probably in my top-3 concerts of all time, if only because up until that point, having the Pixies re-unite seemed like the most unlikely thing that would ever happen, and I was convinced I'd never have an opportunity to ever see them live.

And I NEVER BOUGHT THAT CD!!!! If you want to burn me a copy, I'll be in Ottawa again this summer, and will gladly give you $20 for it (the burned copy), just for the memories.

 

[Major Might]

Sweet post game talk. lol

 

[Senscore]

and while we're grungin' out

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I do own one pixies album on vinyl, Bossanova.

 

[Slack]

This has come full circle from guilty pleasures into just favourite bands of the past

In the spirit of nostalgic radio staples though, here's my final thread derailment

I'll use newer technologies to reproduce the material and get it to you sooner.

I have Trompe Le Monde on original cassette tape

Oh and Kim Deal is no longer part of the band unforch.

 

[BonkTastic]

Sweet post game talk. lol

It came up organically!

 

[The Waffler]

I ****ing love Pearl Jam.

Shweet! Thanks!
