| _______________________________ [Apr 21,2009 7:04am - crib ""] any more info about this? didnt see anything posted on the oxfam myspace or the m gira site. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 21,2009 7:26am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] I'm all about this. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 21,2009 3:16pm - applejam booking ""] here is the information from gira's website: http://younggodrecords.com/LiveShows/ as for the oxfam myspace, they are a separate entity from us and it takes them a while to add a show, especially at short notice. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 21,2009 8:12pm - MikeOv... ""] It would be awesome if Gira read excerpts from "The Consumer", his collection of short stories. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 21,2009 8:29pm - swan ""] this is fake, dont go. seriously guy. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 21,2009 8:52pm - MikeOv... ""] ...riiiight |
| _______________________________ [Apr 21,2009 9:18pm - crib ""] what time does this start? |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 22,2009 10:23pm - applejam booking ""] the show starts at 8:30 and there is one opener (renato montenegro). gira is playing a 90 minute set and he'll probably end around 11:30 so there should be ample time to make the t. /douchebump, SMN taking over RTTP 2k9! |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 26,2009 12:20pm - MikeOv... ""] The legend plays free tonight What excuse would anyone have not to go to this?? |
| ________________________________ [Apr 26,2009 10:48pm - crib ""] it would've been nice if the correct information for this show was posted! i went and the show was already over at 10pm. lame |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 1:11am - FAP2FAUNA ""] SAW THE SHOW IT WAS RAD- SOMETHING ABOUT AN 'EDEN PRISON' HOLY SHIT -ACOUSTIC DRONE! WINWINWIN! |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 7:58am - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Drone? Don't know about that. Acoustic folk? Yes. Awesome? Obviously. I just want to know what was up with that kid getting up in front of Gira and interrupting his set? Kid felt like a douche when he called him out on it. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 10:23am - sluts ""] too bad a lot of people thought this show was a fake. next time make sure its correctly listed. i looked around the internet and only saw the lemmingtrail thread that was about 2 posts deep and people were questioning it there too.... |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 10:38am - MikeOv... ""] When I googled it to check it's legitimacy, a number of pages came up promoting it. Apparently this was all very short notice, as Gira mentioned that he didn't even know he had this gig until about 5 days ago... |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 1:57pm - applejam booking ""] "next time make sure its correctly listed"...what exactly was wrong with the listing? it was posted on gira's official site, last.fm, and a number of boards. i've posted many previous applejam shows here and there was no reason to doubt my cred. anyhow, we had a great turnout and thanks to the several RTTP people i saw there. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 2:46pm - barbelo ""] not surprised to hear that Gira got pissed at someone, he always gets snarky with people in the audience. Happened every time I've seen him. You can hear it on the various live albums (there's a whole track of him chewing someone out on Feel Good Now). |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 3:06pm - MikeOv... ""] Haha, yeah. Well this particular dude just walks through a sea of kids sitting down on the floor and gets right up in Gira's vicinity, after just having begun a new song. He's snooping around directly next to him as he's trying to play, and he had to stop to ask the kid if he was good, and what his problem was. The kid just started mumbling awkwardly and said he was just trying to help him out. Help him out with what exactly? No one had a clue. Gira shook his head and everyone just starts cracking up. It was kind of bizarre. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 27,2009 3:48pm - sluts ""] not trying to doubt your street cred. i just didnt find out about the until yesterday from a thread on lemmingtrail and a few people were questioning it. if they werent saying "is this real?" then i would have been all over it. i guess the joke was on me. |

| _______________________________ [Apr 28,2009 10:35pm - ... ""] That kid was awesome. I thought Gira's voice could have stopped a train and I am really happy I nearly killed several bostonians to get to this little shit cafe that rich losers hang out at. The place reeked of class. He was good though. |
