Plenty will disagree, but upon first hearing the band Beirut I thought they would be a fitting house band for the World's End Inn.

Nice of them to play El Paso.

The Toyota Center and American Airlines Center are pretty big venues. I have to imagine there will be a lot of seating upgrades and/or GA tickets only. Or maybe I'm unaware of "nostalgia for nostalgia's sake" value.

This is exactly how I felt about Seven Psychopaths, which everyone around here seemed to love.

My only experience with Ra Ra Riot aside from that stupid commercial was giving the side eye to a bunch of youths who were all atwitter about their show at a festival. I was irked because these people were barely awake for the previous act - fucking Medeski Martin and Wood. The situation wasn't helped by the fact that…

Yeah, MTV2 really made me appreciate my insomnia back in the day.

That's the song/video that got me into them. It used to play on MTV2 all the time when it was released. Good stuff, stoked to see them in Houston.

Women of all shapes and sizes really don't like that.

I like to blame Britney Spears' python accompanied first "live" performance of "I'm a Slave 4 U" at the ever important MTV VMA's on 09/06/01.

Pissed off metalheads are almost always entertaining.

Come now, Maroon 5 are still inexplicably popular.

I'd take it over Beyonce.

I laughed a lot at Max Greenfield's very realistic "shit, play it cool" reaction to the OJ spilling off the table when he was spying on Cece.

I wasn't aware The Client List was still on the air, let alone edgy.

On NYE I drank a lot of champagne and finally gave my number to the overweight tattooed bartender I'd been flirting with and/or telling sob stories to for a few months prior. Aaaand he never called, so at least I have an excuse to never go back.

I agree. Wish we could have just watched b-roll of those two improvising plans all night. "We get some night vision goggles. That's all I've got."

Sadly I think its grossed over a billion dollars. That's pretty empire-ish. Yet Jessica Simpson can't dress herself to save her life.

I'm surprised it took them this long, honestly. Usually people set up their own production companies or record labels/studios as soon as they have the money.

They've always had this weird fascination with it. Mormonism is mentioned as far back as Cannibal! The Musical.
