Then why did the set include only one song from the new album? More like a 12-minute commercial for his upcoming tour. Which, given the current state of the music business, makes more sense.

It was a typical Super Bowl Sunday at my house. I was watching the game, and my wife was in the study, or in the kitchen, or just about any other room of the house. Whenever the game came to a station break, I hollered "Ad!" and she came rushing in to watch the commercials. When the game resumed, so did whatever she'd been doing before the station break.

As for the commercials, I remember that several of them made us laugh. Today, the only one I can remember is the E*Trade one, with the two babies. It doesn't seem as funny as it was at the time.

one does not become US's finest novelist on mere novels alone...]]> michael baker Trouser Press Fri, 06 Feb 2009 00:00:51 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18739,18960#msg-18960 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18739,18960#msg-18960
I generally refuse to watch the Super Bowl at all out of protest over the halftime show and this truly bizarre fascination with THE COMMERCIALS. What the fuck kind of deranged society gets itself worked up weeks in advance quivering in anticipation over friggin' commercials? Jeepers J. Christmas!!!!! I can think of few things more pointless, and hell, I have to spend 24 hours a day being myself, so I know a thing or three about pointless idiocy. But even I draw the line at getting excited about OMIGOD! THE NEW COMMERCIALS and spending a week afterwards trying to decide which ones were the best. Here's a clue - unless they're performing a useful service like posthumously making Nick Drake the star he deserved to be in life, they all fucking suck.

(Actually, as countless "to the contrary" posts on this board when people are hating on musicians for selling their songs to commercials will attest, I don't really mind commercials. But actually getting excited about a night full of new ones? Feh.)

I'm a calm soul in general, but the moronity that has come to accompany the Super Bowl in the last 15 or 20 years pisses me off. Goldurnit, I remember the good ol' days when it was on on a nice Sunday afternoon and was over in time for dinner and that nice Jackie Smith was dropping passes in the end zone and losing the game for Dallas. Those were good times.

Forget any idea of sending out a roadie to fix a bad cable or blown fuse. It's not an option.

Having done my share of live audio engineering I can tell you the chances of having a significant, noticeable failure under those circumstances is high. Very high. And with 95 million people watching--nearly 1/3 of the entire US population--there are huge incentives for not taking those risks.]]> Nile Trouser Press Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:56:07 -0600 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18739,18954#msg-18954 https://trouserpress.com/forum/read.php?1,18739,18954#msg-18954
If these were actual concerts, where people paid money to see the performers and hear the music, then yes, damn right they should be playing live.

like chico esquela (garrett morris) i should stick to baseball.

game was ok.

referees kept it close on a counta the pain those (nearly two fucking hours worth- but they ALL had either violence or some sort of dickheaded random offensiveness attached ) commercials inflicted upon us.

we need to assemble all those fuckwad commercial making pricks in one place, then tell N Korea, ok go ahead with those test missiles. Here are your coordinates.

The game was good, though I would have rather the game ended with a hail mary to Fitzgerald.
