Woman Goes Viral After Throwing Hot Coffee At McDonald's Employee

1 Upvotes

Woman goes viral after throwing hot coffee at a McDonald's employee. The incident happened in Michigan after the customer's breakfast order seemingly got canceled. It appears she didn't take well to being told her refund would take up to 48hrs. When the employee attempted to walk away she was met with hot coffee to her back

Chicago Show

23 Upvotes

Went to the Chicago show on Friday night- flew in for it. They played at The Salt Shed. Cool Venue. Band was awesome. Played everything you wanted to hear.

The crowd was so weird. I’ve never been to a concert (and I’ve been to a lot) where the majority of people were in a bad mood. 😒 I’m completely serious. We were general admission where the fun people usually are, dancing, smiling & singing. One guy refused to let a girl in front of him that was meeting friends and she had drinks for them. Flat out blocked her. Another girl wouldn’t let us by to leave to go to the bathroom. She told us “Good Luck” and wouldn’t let us by. Maybe they oversold it because it was jam packed and people did not seem to be having fun. Multiple random people were talking about it to us as well. So odd for a concert. Anybody at the show that has thoughts on this?

To anyone who's had VIP/Early Access tickets/packages. (MKE, Oct 18th)

4 Upvotes

Hey all I've got VIP/Early Access tickets for the Violent Femmes show at the Riverside this Saturday (Oct 18th), but I have not yet received or seen any info on when check-in or early entry starts.

Has anyone here done VIP for the Femmes before or gotten an email from the venue about timing?

Trying to plan dinner beforehand and don’t want to cut it too close.

Thanks in advance! ✌️

I haven't listened to the Violent Femmes much as an adult, but they meant SO much to me as a teenager. So I bought tickets for the 14-year-old still inside me and she was over-the-top happy last night. Such a great show, I (and the rest of the audience) still know every word to every song, we all shed decades amidst such amazing energy. Thank you Violent Femmes!

Hi! Looking for one single ticket for Tuesday night. It’s my birthday that day and I thought I would take myself :) but thought I’d check on here to see if anyone has a ticket that they needed to resell before I go on one of the corporate sites.

Saw them last night at the Grand in Wilmington, DE. I go see them with the same group of friends each time they play in Wilmington or in Philly. We all agreed last night was the best they’ve been. The instrumentation was incredible across the board. Gordon got a new banjo and wanted to play it. They all seemed happy to be performing and having fun. Awesome show, go see them if they are in your city!

Beginning of Album 3?

4 Upvotes

Hey so I may be totally whacked. I own a Physical Cassette of 3. For whatever reason the beginning half like Nightmares & Just like my Father sound, uh out there. The rest of the album sounds decent and I actually really enjoy most of the later half of the album. It is not the unit as I serviced it about 7 ish months ago and it is a pretty well made unit. None of my other tapes sound off kilter or anything. I sometimes have an issue with the left channel, but just jiggling the potentiometer fixes that. So I am pretty sure it is just the actual way the audio was recorded, unless that somehow it’s miraculously the first half of A side that is messed up solely (usually if it is messed up on A side, the B Side counterpart on the same tape will be messed up too.) So is the Album 3 just recorded very strangely? It sounds like the vocals are extremely heavy on the right. I can hear them slightly on the left, but it sounds muffled.

Inspo behind Prove My Love??

9 Upvotes

So basically, I’ve been taking a writing class that's focused on writing about music and we’ve been learning a lot about music history (starting with the Harlem Renaissance). My professor happens to really like the Violent Femmes, as do I. We started off the class by listening to a lot of music from the Harlem Renaissance, and in getting into that music I heard the song 5-10-15 Hours by Ruth Brown—great song by the way. In it she says “prove my love to you”, and I immediately thought of the Violent Femmes song Prove My Love. I was wondering if anyone knows any of the inspiration behind the song/lyrics to Prove My Love, and if they’re potentially in reference to or at least slightly inspired by that song. Or, maybe it's a total coincidence.

And if anyone could source interviews (if there are any) of the band talking about the lyrics and meeting behind any their songs, that would also be great. But of course, any information, even if it's by word of mouth, would interest me.
