Gin Blossoms On The Mountain

This is a breakfast show in Tucson, which Katie has been harrassing me all week to think of a way she could go to it. [smile] Alas, I came up short, and maybe it was her payback telling me about the live stream on the internet, with little time to spare.

After getting around the Clear Channel issues, I managed to get it all setup, right before while the preceding commericial was playing. But the stream dropped before the beginning, and I had to setup recording, so I missed a bit of the start. Kinda annoying, but then again, still not a bad effort for being in bed with my laptop, having to sort out stuff on my router, and then main PC, all on the drop of a hat. [smile] At the end of the day, not getting all of an acoustic version of Follow You Down is not the end of the world. [wink] There have been a billion, and I'm sure there will be a billion more. [smile]

Hearing both Long Time Gone and Learning The Hard Way acoustic was cool. I wouldn't expect Long Time Gone to translate acoustically, but actually really enjoyed it. Final song was Til I Hear It From You.

Funnily enough earlier this afternoon, Til I Hear It From You came on. It got me thinking about how typically I could take or leave it. But there are some times when it sounds really good, sounding like when I first heard it. This afternoon was one of those times. I actually by nature of habit swapped to Winamp and skipped it, and then skipped back because it was sounding good today. Which got me to thinking how that's true of that sound, on occassions it can sound great. And then thought about how that really only applies to the studio version. Neveer hearing a live version of it again would totally work for me. I was reminded of that thought tonight, when they played it, as it was my immediate reaction. I was gunning for something else off the new record, instead of Til I Hear It From You, but was pretty confident it'd get played.

In anycase, it was cool to hear. Funnily enough I watched some of How To Loose A Guy In Ten Days, particularly for Follow You Down at the end. It's still cool to hear the guys in a movie - though, I did notice the speed and pitch of it sounded quite off - and the way the song was cut up was quite attrocious. But still, cool to hear, and see their names in the credits. In anycase, it turned out to be a fairly Blossomy night.
