One of the editors should fix my review; get rid of my sentence mentioning a new song and say that they played An American Banned. Plus the set-list should get fixed.

Woah, Dillinger Four played a new song?? Does anyone know the title of it???

-Scott

I felt stupid posting that the song wasn't new because someone else already did before me, but all these morons make me feel better

THERE'S NO NEW SONG. Jesus.

Too band this new song will never come out on a record... ever.

My Score:

thats actually a pretty varied setlist from them. thomas paine usually isnt the opener, they havent really played bambi too much in the past 5 years or so, and floater and dick butkus are rarely if ever played. i would be psyched to see that set

i went and saw Westbound Train and MU330 on this night instead of D4. not on purpose, but i forgot all about this show until the night before. i was going to go to both, but like a dumbfuck, i left my ID at home.

i was kind of pissed. but basically it looks like the same set list as last time i saw the at Beat Kitchen, so, i am not too disappointed.

im pretty sure the new song was called american band.
they played it in minneapolis the night before the chicago shows. and i snagged the set list and thats what it said.

its an old song called "An American Banned" from the "More Songs About Girlfriends And Bubblegum" 7" on Mutant Pop from '97. i thought we'd all established that.

Wehavecomeforyourchildren states;

"anybody who thinks those don't qualify as great songs, obviously isn't listening close enough"

"by the way, each of those songs i listed is undeniably better than Noble Stabbings, Folk Song, A Floater Left with Pleasure in the Executive Washroom, Maximum Piss and Vinegar, #51 Dick Butkus, and D4 = Putting the "F" Back in "Art"

...glad you can state your personal preferences as pass them off as aboslute fact buddy. Ever think that someone else likes different songs than you do? No, wait...I forgot, the songs you like are "undeniably" better than ones other people like and if those other people don't agree with you, they should go back and listen closer until they figure out why...awesome thanks for showing me the truth buddy

Once again, sorry I didn't know that it was an old song, that's what I get for not downloading music as much music as I should, stupid out of print releases.

Then again, I warned people in last weeks Navel Gazing that other people need to write reviews for all the awesome Chicago shows otherwise it would resort to people like me to write the reviews.

i'm not even sure i'd place "Noble Stabbings" in their top 3 on that album. "Fired-Side Chat" and "File Under Adult Urban Contemporary" are both songs that I would place as better than it, then it still has 3 or 4 really really good songs to duke it out with for #3.

"Larry, have you ever heard of Vietnam?"

BY. Shit, it'd be awesome if you could edit your comments.

the "new song " is an american banned, and it's on the Mutant Pop 7" that came out like 7 or 8 years ago...something like that

My Score:

D4 is 5 stars my default.

Um, "Noble Stabbings" is easily one of their top 3 songs. It's definitely better than all the ones you named.

-Scott

Shit, I didn't know that was actually an old song they played, sorry about that.

If anyone has that 7" split in digital format & could be kind enough to somehow send it my way it would be much appreciated.

by the way, each of those songs i listed is undeniably better than Noble Stabbings, Folk Song, A Floater Left with Pleasure in the Executive Washroom, Maximum Piss and Vinegar, #51 Dick Butkus, and D4 = Putting the "F" Back in "Art"

and, also, i realized that i named "bambi" which was in fact in their set that night, but which i don't think i've ever heard them play live in the last 3 or 4 years.

actually, that's bullshit. most of their great songs aren't even ever in their set list. the reason they always play the same ones, according to billy morisette anyway, is because that between writing the new record and the fact that they can rarely get together, they haven't played most of the songs in years and would need to practice most of them first if they wanted to pull them off live. paddy especially doesn't remember lots of them and since he's away the most (arrivals, sean na na, fuck yeahs, bloodbath, other bands, and whatever else he's bumming around doing) there's not really any chance to relearn them. although, before they go out on tour for the new record (if that ever happens) they are gonna get a few more down.

personally, i'd like to hear thanks for the revenge: part 2, are you the motherfucker with the bananas, like sprewells on a wheelchair, our science is tight, wrecktheplacefantastic, who didn't kill bambi, and the great american going out of business sale.

anybody who thinks those don't qualify as great songs, obviously isn't listening close enough.

I saw them the night before in Minneapolis, "An American Banned" isn't a new song, it's very very old and from some split or something

It seems like everyone's seeing D4 except for me.
Anywhere in the Northeast and I'm there.

They actually didn't play a new song...the song the reviewer was referring to was An American Banned from the More Songs About Girlfriends and Bubblegum 7". Other comment from the show - Paddy was WRONG WRONG WRONG on one of his football notes...he said Favre first started because Jim McMahon got hurt...McMahon wasn't a Packer until '95 - Favre became a starter in '92.

"D4's sets are so self-similar. They've got a pool of like 50 songs to choose from, why do they keep picking from the same 15?"

Mainly because they really only have about 15 great songs, and the rest of them are just good songs. I've seen this band 6 or 7 times and the setlist is almost always the same, but I don't mind because they rarely leave out a song I want to hear.

-Scott

Do they ever play: "sellthehousesellthecarssellthekidsfindsomeoneelseforgetiti'mnev ercomingbackforgetit"?

new song?!?!?!?!? i wish i could fucking hear this

D4's sets are so self-similar. They've got a pool of like 50 songs to choose from, why do they keep picking from the same 15? they really need to do a new album so they can do a full US tour or something.

the brokedowns are the shit.

Damn I want one of those shirts, ha.
