So yeah... thought I would mention that... I actually left the front (very odd for me) after Moldy Peaches and was sitting upstairs during Afroman so it wasn't quite as painful. My brief Philly show report would be: Good show... solid... its a little disappointing how repetative Flans tends to be in terms of trying to do the exact same gimmicks at every show (they lose some humor over time... but I do understand that for a lot of people this was their only time seeing them this tour).

I really haven't been to enough shows to know anything about these "same kind of indie rock bands," but I'm guessing you're talking about groups like OKGo and You Were Spiraling. The openers I've seen (not counting Sapphire Bullets and Friday night's openers) were Gravel Pit, Doughty, and Muckafurgason, and they weren't much like each other at all. >#3 - Their hit single is an anti-drug song.

Compare it to a song like "Drink," in which Flans's lyrics and delivery are dripping with sarcasm and contempt for his overly-inebriated friend. Besides, "Because I Got High" is played at the end of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and Jay and Silent Bob even appear in the video...and anyone who thinks that Kevin Smith would do that if the song was seriously anti-drug doesn't know Kevin Smith's work Kay [Attachment omitted, unknown MIME type or encoding (text/html)] Adam: > Afroman - Afroman was good, and I'll give you three reasons why. > > #1 - Most TMBG fans didn't like him/them.

Hmm, Afroman is a novelty act to us in the sense that he's really new and unusual as a TMBG opener. On the other hand, I don't think he or any of his fans would consider him a novelty act. To me, the whole thing seemed kind of like a joke, but I would never say that to him or his ten person entourage. I think that his music probably isn't all that different from anything else in its, err, genre. And fans of that kind of thing probably consider it valid. > #3 - Their hit single is an anti-drug song. There need to be more mostly- > black novelty bands that do anti-drug songs for their hit single. I really don't think that it's an anti-drug song. His attitude isn't, "I wrecked my life, because I got high," it's more like, "ha ha ha, isn't that funny? Mmmm pot!" But you don't have to take my word for it... just go back and read what Kaylum and Kate Sith wrote, while I was typing this. But yeah, all his other songs were about pot (see "roll roll roll a joint") and sex (see that X-rated version of Wonderful Tonight ). Beth I think his act bordered on hilarious and frightening, but that's just me. I gotta say that he was more memorable than a lot of the other openers I've seen (YWS, OKGo, etc.). And the Moldy Peaches weren't so bad. The more I think back, the more I liked them.
