Alan Resnick has followed Tim Heidecker to InfoWars.
She also did Melt My Heart to Stone and Right as Rain. Those videos are on the station's YT too.
They played a lunchtime gig in 2014 at the suburban Baltimore studios of WTMD.
They were on the second stage. Everybody looks so young!
I'm in the final year (knock on wood) of a MS program in communication management at Towson University. There was a short time last semester where I considered going for my doctorate but my advisor gave me a reality check -- it's a tough slog and just because Maryland and American are there doesn't mean you're gonna go to Maryland or American. For his own doctorate, he had to trek from Los Angeles to UC-Boulder.
But let's say, a year or two or three down the line, I get the itch. Besides Maryland or American (which has a PhD in Communication), where would you recommend? I'm looking for someplace with excellent faculty and reputation that isn't in a place that sucks.
I'm thinking: Mizzou, ASU. UW-Madison, aforementioned UC-Boulder
What a great time. This was their first time in the Recher (as opposed to the former Rams Head Live in Baltimore) and Carl commented on what a nice venue it was and how cool it is there’s a store a couple doors down with all kinds of Japanese gashapon and the like. Which, true.
He commented on the situation the band is in right now and quipped, “your president, I’m not sure I care for him.”
The setlist was the same as that other posted shared the other day.
I was concerned about how they’d recreate Neko in the aggregate as they usually do and Jillette was up to the task. She nailed the big moments of Red Wine and Bleeding Heart, even if you could tell they were right at the top of her register. She was great. Melodica was on tape, one of only a few sacrifices. You could leave this show believing this was the band and be none the wiser.
She won the crowd over by getting Towson’s pronunciation right on the first guess (it’s TAO-sen). She joked she’d only found out she was opening an hour prior but it’s ok since she had a million songs. Very different vibe to TNP (think Neko if she played coffeeshops) but check out her stuff on streaming.
