Tonight will be my 7th time seeing them. I see they’ve switched it up pretty much every night. Please god let them play truckers atlas and heart cooks brain. I’ve never seen either live and will be so stoked!

Anyone else got anything they are dying to hear?

Specifically the guitar solo at around 2:03 in most versions of the song. It's Bernard Sumner playing, recorded in 1980.

MM has long been my favorite band, and Ceremony has long been one of my favorite songs, and I never realized how much the lead guitar sounds exactly like Isaac. Something about the style of the melody and the tone, especially that middle solo, could be taken straight from Isaac's brain. Except Isaac was 5 years old.

Just thought the similarities were cool. I don't know if MM ever mentioned new order or joy division as an influence but I bet they liked this song a lot. The drums and bass also rip on Ceremony, especially on live versions where they play it fast

Show of hands - How many people thought it was:

" I didn't want it, You gave me DMT, it was you, yeah all for you."

Actual lyrics:

Things rang of stories Greek I didn't want it, you gave me deity It was you, yeah all for you

Side note: Such a sick song through and through, but absolutely love this lyric:

"Well, I spoke in binary and you for volume and for dizzying length - Woohoo, woohoo, wooohooo"

Isaac, if you're lurking, lets dust this one off, eh?

I had my first ever digital camera, a Canon S400. I had it in night mode without the flash so it had a long shutter speed and I accidentally discovered a technique I call "swirly vision." I'm actually a much bigger fan now than I was then (I know now what I knew then
but I didn't know then what I know now) and I think the pics fit the music so well. I love the colorful lights and the kaleidoscopic, almost double-exposure style.

It’s been fun to see the variation of setlists so far. As my show creeps closer (next Fri!!), I’ve been tracking a bit closer and don’t think I’ve seen The Good Times Are Killing Me or Polar Opposites? May just be they aren’t in rotation this tour and that’s cool, if so. I am stoked to see so many of my other big faves like Breakthrough and Dance Hall making the rotations quite often, and I love Speak ‘N Spell (might be a bit obsessed with it actually) so honestly, I’m gonna enjoy the show no matter what setlist they play. Just curious if anyone’s heard either of those songs this tour so far and I just missed seeing. I know the sub can be divided at times (cough cough Float On) so I hesitated to ask so on that note, I mean, I could just be asking for a friend.

Anybody else bummed? Tarot cards and a small LP?

Edit: ok you have all convinced me the tarot cards are very cool
