Ms. Info sez: "I saw Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings at the Highline in Manhattan and they were ok but it was one volcano after another. Boring. On the other hand, their opening act, The Budos Band, was worth the price of admission. They killed."
I saw Weezer play at the MN state fair a couple of years ago, and they take the slacker thing to an extreme. The show started (purposely) late and started with Rivers Cuomo kicking a soccer ball around stage for like 5 minutes. I think that the idea was that the audience would start yelling and then he would take the mic, but this is MN so that didn't happen... he kicked his ball around for a bit and then got bored and slowly walked to the mic and gave a heavy sigh and then they started playing. The slacker thing was annoying and the opening act (Motion City Soundtrack) upstaged Weezer... so it sounds like that tribute act nailed it!
I also lament the fall of cupcakes. I remember when the frosting was just a thin layer on top of the CAKE, but lately people have been piling huge cones of frosting on top of the cupcake, and the cake is just a platform for a huge glob of frosting. No, just no.
