Fly Eagles fly,
on the road to victory.
Fight Eagles fight,
score a touchdown 1-2-3.
Hit 'em low,
Hit 'em high,
And watch our Eagles fly.
Fly Eagles fly,
on the road to victory!
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

Out All Night
2005-01-23 16:50:23 ET

I don't need to tell the truth
but I never lie
I don't need to bow to you
you're just passing by
I never wanted to be the one you bitch and moan and come home to
but as long as you look good
I'll come back to you

Get inside my troubled mind
with all of your friends
sometimes I think I was blind
the Night Before we met
I never wanted to be the one that you depend on for your life
When you cry it smells like soup
sounds like Shonen Knife
never beat my wife
Stay out all night!
I got a right each time I
Stay out all night!
Now I just might, you make me
Stay out all night!
It's just a side of you at night that makes me
Stay out all night!
I'm gonna stay out all night!

You're an evil little girl
I'm a twisted man
tearing through your Perfect World
to make you understand
I never wanted to be the one you bitch and moan and come home to
but as long as you look good
I'll come back to you
and do the things we do

Stay out all night!
I got a right each time I
Stay out all night!
Now I just might, you make me
Stay out all night!
It's just the sight of you at night that makes me
Stay out all night!
I'm gonna stay out all night!

I will never treat you bad
You deserve the best from me
If you want to keep you place
You'd better get down on you knees

Stay out all night!
I got a right each time I
Stay out all night!
Now I just might, you make me
Stay out all night!
It's just a side of you at night that makes me
Stay out all night!
I'm gonna stay out all night!

New Math + 2 Floors of Ska = Best Review Ever
2005-01-23 07:46:38 ET



Superspecs = suck

Westbound Train = Keep at it, boys! You'll get "If I ever loose my way" down sooner or later

Inspecter 7 - a few + some new guys = Hub City Stompers [and that's okay]

PiETASTERS + Slippery Floors x Hiking boots = lots of fun!

Toasters(Jack Ruby + Sledge + Chris Rhodes on Trombone) = Can't keep a good thing down


Therefore -

3 Floors of Ska + 12 inches of snow - 4 bands = 2 Floors of ska and plenty of fun for everyone.





And props to myself, BearClaw, and AJ for driving 3 (or more) hours in the blizzard, and back the same night.
yay, mental insanity.

1/14 & 15/05 - the Turpike Tour - the Slackers in Philly & Wilkes-Barre
2005-01-16 18:53:28 ET

First off, let me say that PA is fucking cold.

secondly, it has some crazy mothers who love ska music.

I'm going to make these brief, hit the main points, and go to bed -

Philly -

arriving at the show one and a half hours late, my friends and I found that the doors had yet to open. The band was stuck in traffic, so apparently the folks running the joint decided that meant everyone had to suffer. Either way, we cut in line near the front, and got in before the crowd. Slackers started around 9pm. I noticed that Agent Jay is still with the band. I guess it's permanent now. Not that that's a bad thing, but I still think Jay sticks out from the band a bit. The lead guitar is a nice addition, though, and you can't get better than Jay.
The set was awesome. Couldn't have picked much more to hear, and the band was tight and practised. Japan don't know what's gonna hit them. I like the new-er version of International W.C. a nice mix of the recorded version and Vic's acoustic. Also, the new medley of Rude & Reckless and Walking On is a nice combo.
The crowd was un-settling. Mainly kids in punk-rock regalia, a lot of people there were there to push others around and cause a rawkus. The place was packed, too. And hot. Vic made a comment about how it was cooler than when they've played before, but certainly not in the crowd.
The encore featured Wasted Days, which is one of the most bitter songs ever written.
Highlights of the evening - the crowd not quite getting "Capo Capo", stopping some stupid kid from trying to crowd surf, and Glen Pine thrusting his crotch around during "Cupid." Someone told him he had sex appeal, and he believed them.
Afterwards the whole crowd migrated to a WaWa.


Wilkes-Barre -

After a good night's sleep, it was time for the Slackers again.
I missed the first band, but from what I heard, they were dropped off in a mini-van by their mom. 'nuff said.
Almost note for note the same set as last night, but the exceptions they made were well worth it. Wilkes-Barre shows always seem to have something special going. Maybe it's the dingy hall or the cramped space, but there's always something extra in the air. (besides the sensi)
They had a series of songs that Vic said was his tribute to the Lord of the Ring -
Sauron, (Going over the) Mountainside, and Close my eye (the eye of sauron). Also, ending a show with "Keep it Simple" is a great idea. the end.
The crowd was hilarious - a huge age gap betwee the 25+ and the >18. Everyone was dancing, though, and no one was really violent. (cept that tiny girl who tackled me when I tried to open up a dance floor. heh heh).

Highlights of the show - the teenage angst against W., Dave Hillyard's fan club, and the ceiling falling down while Dave was thanking the owner of the club.



Now the set-lists.

I've got a feeling twenty one
Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.



So you think 21 is going to be a good year.
It could be for me and her,
But you and her-no never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather
