i'm happy because I just scored a bff poster at vintage vinyl in evanston
(for anyone around chicago). it's the naked baby photos promo poster.
robert's in the new bass player, but it's kind of a bad picture.

What bugs me is so many of you guys have this condescending attitude about
anyone who likes BF5 because they heard Brick, lumping all of us into the
"thirteen year old oasis lovers" group or something like that. I simply
don't have access to non-top40 music in my town and so it was impossible
for me to discover them until brick went mainstream, that's not my fault,
and I DON'T love oasis, and I'm NOT 13. You don't realize how incredibly
insulting it is to be referred to as a "Brickhead" simply because of when
I began to love their music. It ticks me off! I love the entire cd, in
fact I hardly even listen to Brick at all. I bought the cd because I
liked Brick, yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm a teenybopper or that I do
not appreciate BF5's amazing talent. Your close mindedness is maddening,
and I'm sure there are others on this list who found out about BF5 just
like I did, and are upset by your sweeping judgements. Anyway, Michele

I was BF5 at Club Caprice in Redondo in November and at the Palace last time
they played in L.A. (I think it was around February) and felt that the
performace was lacking this time. Anyone else feel the same? It just felt
like they were working and not enjoying it that much. Plus they didn't play
Uncle Walter. Don't get me wrong, it was still a great show, but just
didn't stand up to the prior two I've seen.
