The Fillmore is fascinating in that I had no idea how many bands there are in the world that I'd never heard of. I mean, I know I don't keep up to date on listening to lots of new bands, but I don't live in a cave, I read a lot so at least see the names of lots of bands in passing even if I never hear their music. If I look at the list of shows at say the 9:30 Club, the names of maybe 25% will at least be familiar. But in the years since the Fillmore opened, I swear only one or two times have I seen their concert ads and recognized a name.

I haven't heard of almost any of these bands either. Weird.

True. But they wouldn't get booked at the Fillmore if there wasn't a reasonable expectation that someone would come out and see them. Same goes for all the acts at the pavilions that hipsters like us (e.g. Jezebel) say "Man, they're shitty and old," but SOMEONE'S going to these shows.

Yeah. There are venues that seem like the Fillmore in Charlotte, too. Medium sized, only book bands that I have never heard of. I want to figure out what demographic goes to see shows like that.

Maybe it's like the "punk" guy in my program. I initially thought we might like some of the same stuff, but his knowledge of music stops at Green Day. If it was before 1990 it may as well be classical music. He likes modern music that sounds like 90s pop-punk, pretty much exclusively. I guess there are musical scenes out there that are invisible to me.

Oh yeah, I don't doubt that there are people who want to see them. I'm sure I've liked musical groups in my life that had with smaller fan bases than any of them. It's just striking that they manage to book so many acts and they are ALL bands I have never heard of.

Once in a while I pass by when people are lined up to get in to a show. It's funny that it's always different but you can always tell that they are A Demographic.

Speaking of A Demographic, it's striking to me how fine grained those things can get in big cities. One of my friends in NYC would invite me to her parties before she moved away, and every couple had a man who worked in tech and a woman who worked in media. All of the dudes dressed exactly like me and all of the women looked like the cute nerd I'd want to say hi to on the subway (but not say hi to, because I'm not a psychopath).

True. And yet we all manage to think of ourselves as unique snowflakes.

I'm sure when you go to parties it's all women who speak Japanese and train pugs and write, and their technical staffs.

I know I freak out every time they put something out, but I am legit losing my mind about how much I love this new release by my boys in St Louis. I'm seeing them tomorrow and Friday in NYC and I'm freaking out. They're so fuck*ng tight now.

Hanging on the Telephone cover? Wasted cover? See No Evil? Super high-energy versions of some of their best songs? Put this thing out for real, guys.

I am so hooked on their version of Hanging on the Telephone. My guy nails the "pleading soulful nerd" delivery... they've come so far. At ~15:50. (y u no make an actual track listing...)

One for the Parquet Courts fans. Performing a new song on Late Night with Stephen Colbert. They've extended their band, four guitars, wow. The song features a guest appearance by Houston's own Bun B.

I really like the first song. I'll listen to the rest later.

They really did a great job with this. Of course, it's such an awesome song it's hard to fuck it up.
