Specifically the Red Rocks Shirt if they have it, but would do any other popup exclusives and little knick knacks someone wants to toss in. I have it feeling it'll be slim picking by the time I'm off work and across town if I even make it
My first thought was Kenan, since he'd be the most significant member of the cast to host at this stage, but I'm not sure he'd take all that screentime.
Sarah Sherman would probably kill the monologue, but it's hard to see her functioning as much like the host in sketches.
Funnily enough, I think Kam Patterson is probably the one who would stand out the most being in the majority of sketches, since that's just not how he's used and he's got that charisma to function more as the special guest than a player.
My guess is that without Cove City, he's dropping Simple & Sweet and Luxury, same as at Bottle Rock. I suspect he'll keep playing all of Father Figure, but could see him swapping the full version of Horoscope for one of the others.
Now, songs I expect he's adding:
I would KILL to have a studio recording of Father Figure with the trumpets from FH. Same for a WHY with Jon doing both verses, and I think he could do something really cool with Rich and Broke.
I know he's said we're nearing the end of the Father Figure era, but I'm holding out hope this isn't his first album without acoustics!
"Father Figure" the song was first up in my JB playlist, so this works great as an overall playlist intro, but I'm sure they also pair well anywhere in a playlist.
Any amount of crossfade fixes the hard cut at the end of Horoscope.
I would've guessed 2500-3000 with 1.3k rooms in Sunrise and not all of them going to concert guests.
It hasn't felt like more than maybe 1200 people past years, but I might be estimating since the venue has so much room to spread out.
I could see myself still having a good experience if the crowd doubles, but it would definitely be different
This is our first year booking two rooms - wondering if they really will put us as close together as possible if we make the request, or if it's just the luck of the draw.
I don't quite have the right words, since it would be reductive to call such a great characterization "two dimensional" or a "caricature," but in Spider-Noir, Nick Cage's character just is what he is.
He doesn't change much and you wouldn't expect him to change, but with Cat Harding, Robbie, Flint, and other to still give the show character arcs, it feels like there's still plenty of development.
What other shows have a central character who doesn't change much, but it still "works?"
Curious what people are expecting and / or hoping for.
The Friends set was a ton of fun last year, but with so much new music out I kinda want to see him play as much of his own catalogue as possible, and there are so many great fits, like doing Downfall with Hayley again of course, maybe End of August with The Head & The Heart, I could see Headed North with Mt Joy, etc
Last year I believe we ended up with 15 artists, 10 included the original announcement. All the teases for more TBA make it sound like this is more the status queue then years 1-2, with 11-12 artists, and only 1-2 last minute additions.
It struck me the first time listening that this would make a great festival song, and be especially fitting for Out of The Blue, especially with the first lines of the chorus.
Then, it clicked to me that the chorus shares multiple full lyrics with Caamp songs and potentially shorter ones with RKS songs, while the verses *heavily* parallel Silver Lining by Mt. Joy.
It's almost like he was trying to capture all the feelings of that time and place, including the other artists and music.
