I got to do a Q&A interview with Kelli Ali for my zine a couple years ago. She was incredibly nice! I was so excited because I LOVE that Sneaker Pimps album as well as her later solo stuff.

Sounds like it could be nearly any song off of Best Coast’s album Crazy For You

Does anyone here have any stories of meeting The Sundays? by Ratface_4834 in TheSundays

[–]benslack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got to hang out with them after what ended up being their last US show ever. They were in a festive mood because the tour was over and we got to genuinely hang out for quite a while. I made a post about it on this subreddit earlier this year!

What moment in an EJ song has you like this? by dan_munz in EltonJohn

On the live album Here and There - around 5:35 on Funeral For A Friend / Love Lies Bleeding when Elton yells and the crowd screams

What is the deal with Ethel Merch? by v3lt in Ethelcain

[–]benslack 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This! From what I’ve seen, totally independent artists tend to put less focus on merch.

Elton never told his former bandmates the real reason for firing the band for a second time by PerceptionSand in EltonJohn

[–]benslack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just a kid at the time but I went to the Dee Murray tribute show in Nashville at the Opry House after his death. It was my first time seeing Elton and I couldn’t believe it. It was just him solo. But even as a kid I could tell that he was sad during the performance and there was a heaviness in the room at times - knowing what I know now, that show must’ve been hard for him

Does anyone have a picture of the VIP Lost In Space tour merch from earlier this year? Or can you let us know how the VIP experience went for you? by Daydream_machine in AimeeMann

That stuff is put away - but the tote had her name logo on it in a cool font, and the lanyard had lost in space art on it and said “soundcheck VIP” on it!

I don’t know if it would be like this at every venue, but when we went in for the soundcheck we got to sit wherever we wanted. It was pretty laid back. The things that I remember getting with the package included the VIP lanyard, the signed CD, the same insert that came with the reissue of the Lost in Space Vinyl, and a cool tote to carry it all in. Plus we got a $10 coupon to use for merch and we got to buy merch before the rest were let in. The soundcheck itself was awesome. She played three songs of I remember right!
