Hey,
Can't be bothered disturbing a mod to open the old music thread, and since no one comes here anymore, again... why bother.
http://www.amplifier.co.nz/news/36208/liam_finns_letterman_performance.html
/\ check liam finn on letterman, smashing a couple of different types of hell out of him drums (at the end). If you don't know how liam does his set, it's outstanding. Plays guitar, records and loops it, then plays lead again recording and looping, then plays drums for second half of song. Check out above link.
Also youtube me: mysteryman662 as I have Liam Finn concert split into songs and uploaded there.

MOTHA *&#$ING FOO FIGHTERS WENT %!@$ING OFF!!!!!!!!
Apart from missing the first few songs (N.O.T I.M.P.R.E.S.S.E.D) cause my mate wanted some extra pool, the show was OUTSTANDING. It was a few weeks ago I bought Skin and Bones DVD (an acoustic live set) and I was talking about how I'd love to see their rock show, but an acoustic show would be super... THEY DID BOTH.
1/3 through, at the end of the runway a big circle dropped from Vector Arena's roof and had the whole acoustic band's gear all set up. Then all the extra Foo's walked down, Pat Smear, Mr Heston etc etc etc and they did a stack of acoustic songs, Marigold, My Hero, Walking After You, Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners. Then back to the rock and amped. 2 hours they played, then another hours taking requests and all sorts.
Dave got so amped in the middle of Monkey Wrench he went up to Taylor on drums and then turned, tripped on an amp, fell on his face, got up said "OH &^%# THAT!" biffed his $3000+ guitar and started SCREAMING down the mic as the guitar it smashed on stage! WAS FREEKIN INSANE~!!!
Big Me was a beautiful duet, he did Everlong by himself just at the end of the acoustic set, which they usually always leave till last song so I was shocked. Then the rest of the band cranked in and they thrashed the end of Everlong together.
DOA and Best of You were a blast... BEST SHOW EVER. 
(so gutted I missed at least 3 or 4 songs at start, because when they went off they had a handycam and showed the set list, then Dave was asking if we wanted 1 song... then 2, then Taylor asked 1? 2? 3? and then Dave shrugged and asked 3? then they came back and yea, played half a doz more and went on for an hour cause it was last gig of tour and he said they would play for as long as they could be bothered.  Anyway, I digress, the set list showed a song I can't remember, then The Pretender then like one or two more before Times Like These, which is when we walked into the gig. 
//sigh//
Still awesome.

Finally got Liam Finn's album today.
Just going through a first listen, and I have to say it's pretty wicked. I wish I'd got it sooner!

Have almost finished reading "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Keidis of Chili Peppers fame. Anyone else read this? Opinions?
Personally I am glad I have almost finished it, apart from a few nice things to say about NZ the whole book is rather repetitive. He comes off as a cocky, arrogant **** imo, man is he one **** up dude.

Anyone in Welly should deff come and see these three band fly, fully worth the entry price for a night of mean boogie-downs and aural pleasure!
Aside from Liam Finn, who is amazing, and keeping with the New Zealand Music month theme, what other local acts are you guys all into?

Being over in Canada I am somewhat out of the loop of new NZ music.
I do however listen to NZ radio stations every now and then online at work to get my fix. Op Shop are rocking my world especially at the moment.

I'm sorry, but Opshop are generally overrated in my opinion.

Anyone else going to the Mars Volta tonight? my girlfriend suggested it, I haven't listened to much of their stuff, but really liked "At the Drive in" so I'm quite looking froward to it!

Ticket prices are fairly steep, but must admit I'd love to make it to Billy Joel at the end of the year.

Anyone heard the American band The Hold Steady? Their albums "Boys and Girls in America" is rocking my world at the moment. It's this awesome blue-collar rock which sounds a little like late 70s/early 80s Springsteen. Great lyrics, and really energetic and inspiring.

na haven't, might look up itunes store and have a preview... ta.
If you haven't heard Eddie Vedder's "Into the Wild" Album for the movie of the same name. RENT THE DVD and then BUY THE CD. Both are awesome!!!
Also, if you haven't heard of Amos Lee, I'd be happy to email you an mp3 or two. I have two of his albums and they get thrashed. It's my "when I'm stressed and need to relax" music and I've introduced half a doz people to him and they all love the music! Great voice, awesome lyrics and great use of instruments.

Yeah the music for that film is great, the film however......can't say I'm a fan.
The main character came across as a total wanker to me. Reading the book now and it just confirms it, the guy was a douche with no regard for anyone but himself, quite a selfish prick.
The new single from the Kings of Leon is great, can't recall the name, but certainly more great work from those guys

I enjoyed "Into The Wild" bit concur with solo that Alexander Supertramp was a self-centred idiot. I'd read the book first, so I guess I had some idea anyway.
