Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface (July 28, 2017) Album • Page 219

Dude he was incredible.

 

Dammit. Totally about to drop $80. Gotta get Virgin and Simple Math and I love that crewneck...

 

they played pensacola at emo night and nobody knew what song it was but i was going apeshit (it was like 1:15am) and then they cut it off 45 seconds before the ALCOHOL DIRTY MALLS PENSACOLA FLORIDA BARS part and i was so mad

 

That is criminal!

 

it wasn't a smart song to play in the first place but you gotta commit if you do it

 

are you going to the D.C show?

 

i just quoted you in the JB thread haha
it's on a tuesday not a wednesday. but yes, i'm going. can't pass up this lineup.

 

Ha oops.

 

I like to think it would have got pretty raucous as that point.

 

maybe three other people in the whole place were singing the lyrics lol some kids were laughing at me as i was killing it

 

Just said he found it dull like he has their last few albums or something.

I mean, I like his non rock reviews but I REALLY wish he gave up trying with rock music, he's clearly out of touch with it. He gave Hotelier's first album a mid score, the last Pianos a mid score, Foxing a three and the new Brand New a 7. He just doesn't have a clue anymore.

 

You hope some kids ask about the band and become fans.. that would be ideal, and a good use of these "emo nights" to gradually work in "newer" (manchorch isn't new but they weren't bit in 2003 like most stuff played) bands

 

It's weird, I assumed emo night would have a lot of underground stuff.

I go to a double story pop-punk and metal nightclub in the midlands here in the UK and the DJ in the main room regularly drops Modern Baseball, Moose Blood, Neck Deep, Marmozets, The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, and more, into the mix alongside the usual playlist of MCR, NFG, Paramore, etc. Regardless of what you think of those bands, it's damn cool to see people get to know those songs over time and engage more with them. Seeing them drop Your Graduation at 3am when it's heaving and finding another big group of other people to absolutely lose our shit with collectively is one my favourite memories there.

 

Wow. So apparently there is a different poster for each show and the Tampa one is sooooo much better than the Orlando one. It's on the subreddit

 

I can't believe I haven't listened to this album in nearly a month. Crazy.

 

thats one of the things I hate about emonite. they're so bad at just cutting songs off or just randomly jumping into songs. the DJing is terrible

that said, I still love it. LA needs more nights like it

 

I wonder if Manchester are only playing Pensacola for the Florida dates.

 

Much more like The Gold video than The Alien

 

Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, HANG THE DJ

 

That's me, directly in front of Andy.

Tallest one there. I could feel the glares from behind me the whole show, people hating the 6' 4" guy on the direct center of the barricade.

 

Ugh, you're one of those guys.

 

haha I almost posted this.

 

If it helps, I really don't go to very many shows, so when I do, I want to be as close as possible if I can't get a good angle or spot at the back or just behind the pit.

Two or three shows a year. Maybe. On a good year.

 

I'm one of those guys as well!

 

I'm just messing with you. I'm 6-1 so I definitely hear groans from behind me...I also somehow always get stuck behind someone who is a lot taller than me any show I go to...which is why I stopped trying to get close a long time ago. I like hanging out near the back to just keep out of the way and be able to move around and stuff and not feel stuck.

Although for the Brand New/Modest Mouse tour last summer, I got stuck near the front and had no complaints. It was probably the first concert I had been to in like 10 years where I didn't go get any drinks or or use the bathroom between sets because I didn't want to lose my spot.
