Today I finally got around to it and it said online tickets were sold out, but tickets available at the door, so I made the drive over relatively early (I actually live outside Greensboro) but was DENIED. I'm kicking myself! <br /><br />Well, hope you have fun. Let us know how it was.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17815163400399631280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284587915749734112.post-32842589410887043952012-06-08T04:44:55.130-07:002012-06-08T04:44:55.130-07:00Very cool Lee!

I was looking for some of their more recent stuff not covered by the Anthology... Basically I was looking for exactly this, for the exact reason you made it, haha. <br /><br />But that's not even how I found it! I got distracted because some other blogger compared a Flying Nun band to a Paisley Underground band, and I realized I don't know much about that scene... I wonder if there's a compilation out there somewhere? A google search brought me here, and then I was curious what else you've posted... to find this Clean comp. Uncanny.<br /><br />In addition to both of those I just grabbed the whole Rebellious Jukebox series... so this has been a major score for me. Thanks so much for posting!! I'll be checking in for sure.

Their best songs are up there with the best of anyone (tipped to them by Jack Rabid at The Big Takeover).<br /><br />Great site (in case no one had told you!)<br /><br />Acebglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284587915749734112.post-51037943534488259052012-04-08T05:55:57.401-07:002012-04-08T05:55:57.401-07:00Very cool, Chris.

My computer stopped updating over there a long time ago.<br /><br />As for Flying Nun and New Zealand in general, I've got a bit more in store here at the Shine. Hopefully, I'll post some tunes you might have missed.<br /><br />I urge you to check out the last two Clean albums which were released on Merge. Two of the best albums of the 00's, if you ask me. I don't think the other three are in print, but also worth your time, if you haven't already listened to them.Maximum Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649652331343272119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284587915749734112.post-17966537422323771182012-04-07T23:06:50.342-07:002012-04-07T23:06:50.342-07:00Thanks for The Clean compilation--haven't spen...Thanks for The Clean compilation--haven't spent enough time listening to their more recent stuff, so it's great to get your guided tour.<br /><br />Been getting into a lot of New Zealand music lately. Put together a show on Flying Nun last month--http://www.last.fm/user/Uhwelluh/journal/2012/03/16/5di6kp_flying_nun_broadcast. Finding out just how influential a component the kiwi sound was on '90s US indie bands--hard to imagine what Pavement, Yo La Tengo & many of the Elephant 6 outfits would sound like without it. Not just influential on musicians though, but on labels, like Matador & Merge--where I think an affection for stuff like The Verlaines & Tall Dwarfs probably made the labels more eager to seek out & take on lo fi bands like GBV.Chris S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17106640316138774626noreply@blogger.com
