< BACK TO Radar Reviews Wild Turkey 101
Wild Turkey 101 Venue: My Liver Date: January 12, 2008 As this act's biggest fan since high school, I approached Saturday's performance with a mixture of anticipation and glee. A serious stomach ailment over the holidays had kept me from catching some recent area appearances, so it was an excited me who showed up at my liquor cabinet at seven that evening raring to go. Wild Turkey opened with familiar crowd pleaser "Wow, That Shit Is Harsh," before segueing into the usual set list of "Woo Hoo!," "Damn, I Am Duh-Runk," "I Love You, Man," and "Woo Hoo, Motherfuckers!" Unfortunately, the band chose this time to bring out some new material, and the crowd's disappointment was difficult to conceal. Bizarre experimental pieces like "I Don't Feel So Good," "Bleaarrrgh," "Fuck You, You Giant Son of a Bitch, And Fuck Your Biker Buddies," "My Nose, You Broke My Fuckin' Nose," and an utterly unnecessary reprise of "Bleaarrrgh," made for a disconcerting set list. I'm not sure who thought "Oh Yeah? Well I'm Gonna Take My Pants Off And Drop a Giant Dump On Your Floor" was a good idea; likewise, set closer "Dave, You Gotta Come Bail Me Out" was embarrassing and uncomfortable. In summary, the band still shows all the potential that it has historically displayed, but if it continues down this new road, this fan might have to switch to something a little more palatable. Like that new Grey Goose show; I hear that's pretty good. 
I was going to comment, Alex, but the ad above is far wittier than I could ever be. Posted by: SarahHeartburn on January 15, 2008 2:54 PM The ad above was far wittier than the item below it, but thanks for the kind words. Posted by: Balk on January 15, 2008 3:02 PM but my FAVORITE venue is, and always will be, the cover of the new issue of RADAR magazine!--on newstands and at bookstores now! (like Barnes and Nobles where, I hear, Radar consistently is a customer favorite and even sells out, yea!)--riding shotgun on an A-Bomb with my buddy W! Um, let's not forget to cross-pollinate and promote, k? SYNERGY NOW! Posted by: yoko on January 15, 2008 3:06 PM More cock plz. Posted by: moneycashhos on January 15, 2008 3:19 PM Advertisement Yoko, thanks for reminding me! Stay tuned for my reviews of the Holy Bible, cowboy hats, a nuclear bomb, and the George W. Bush presidency. Also the movie Dr. Strangelove! Posted by: Balk on January 15, 2008 3:41 PM hey, you're welcome, balk! Look forward to reading those reviews...one last quibble though: Wild Turkey dropped a frickin' load of F-bombs in that review. Made Yoko nervous, very nervous. And oh! I now understand something!: one wants commenting on a site because the more comments a site, like say radaronline, gets, the greater the scroll-down potential to have more ads, see more ads, and, consequently, make more revenue, buy more products, is! It's like, the column just goes deeper and deeper, growing longer and longer and then, ooooh, aahhh, you feel your colic just start to calm down... Hiccups and kisses, Posted by: yoko on January 15, 2008 4:57 PM Totally! Also please click on the ads. Posted by: Balk on January 16, 2008 10:16 AM |
