I've been missing so many great concerts lately. *sigh*

I hope to make it to Fucked Up, unfortunately it's next Monday, and I have a test on Tuesday morning.

Hopefully the shows will fill out in May when I'm actually off school.

Speaking of shows filling out, Pitchfork doesn't seem as exciting as last year, does it? I might even skip it if I can't find a pad to crash in for free.

I was debating PMF this summer, but meh. I'l sure there'll be a show or two worth traveling to Boston for.

All Points West is really disappointing this year with the exception of Sunday which is pretty cool.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre never fail to impress.

Second time seeing them, mind even more blown than the first time.

I saw these guys for the second time last night too. They played a wide variety of songs (including Matt Hollywood stuff; he's back!) and no fights broke out. Joel had a "tambourine solo" which was hilarious. My only (slight) complaint was that they didn't do anything from their new album aside from "Yeah Yeah." But yea, it was an incredible show.

All Points West is really disappointing this year with the exception of Sunday which is pretty cool.

Fri: Beastie Boys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, The National, Fleet Foxes, Q-Tip, Shearwater, Flying Lotus.

Sat: My Bloody Valentine, Gogol Bordello, Arctic Monkeys, Neko Case, Crystal Castles, St. Vincent, Chairlift, Black Gold.

Sun: Echo & the Bunnymen, MGMT, The Black Keys, Silversun Pickups, Mogqai, We are Scientists, Lykke Li, Akron/Family.

I'd say it's a tossup between Saturday and Sunday (and Friday isn't bad AT ALL.)

Definitely not disappointing, if you ask me (considering the mediocre they've had in previous years, too.)

Years? Do you mean last year? I thought it was new last year.

And yea, I agree with Ballard, All Points West is the one festival thats close to me thats not utter shit (see: Bamboozle) that I would consider going to, but I'm not wasting money on that lineup.

Ballard · « **Reply #857 on:** 05 Apr 2009, 20:48 »

Sunday is cool, Saturday is alright, Friday I'm not gonna blow 100 bucks just for Vampire Weekend and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Consider also that half of these acts will have conflicting time slots.

Radical AC · « **Reply #858 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 16:10 »

The Thermals are playing in two weeks for $10, so I figure I might check that out.

Uber Ritter · « **Reply #859 on:** 09 Apr 2009, 19:38 »

Dan Deacon on the 19th of May. Hell yes.

Cire27 · « **Reply #860 on:** 12 Apr 2009, 02:39 »

This Thursday: Dinosaur Jr.

Next Thursday: Man Man and Against Me! at different venues.

I will only be seeing Against Me! because of school. They're also the only band that my friend (who is my ride) has any familiarity with.

KurtMcAllister · « **Reply #861 on:** 12 Apr 2009, 02:41 »

Guys, I have enough money to go see one band in June. Should I see Holy Fuck or Explosions In The Sky?

Caspian · « **Reply #862 on:** 12 Apr 2009, 04:12 »

EiTS were great live when I saw them. I'd recommend that, although a band with a name like Holy Fuck would, you'd assume be pretty awesome live. Although I have no idea what they sound like.

Mournful Congregation in SA in september! I've always been keen for the idea of an epic nullabor wave hunt, so I might as well conclude it with an epic doom concert.

sean · « **Reply #863 on:** 12 Apr 2009, 08:21 »

it depends of if you would rather dance or get post-rocked out. thats really it.

Beren · « **Reply #864 on:** 12 Apr 2009, 10:45 »

Woo Cursive on May 5th, a lovely little venue in Pittsburgh. Very excited.

glyphic · « **Reply #865 on:** 13 Apr 2009, 15:00 »

High five, Beren, Cursive are hitting STL this month in a pretty small venue (firebird). I saw them last year at the Gargoyle, which is my least favorite venue. Should be a good time.

Koremora · « **Reply #866 on:** 13 Apr 2009, 23:18 »

Holy jesus fucking christ that was the most awesomely primal and liberating musical explosion I have ever been consumed by. Of Montreal made me dance in ways that I have never danced before. I cannot even put into words how good they are live. INCREDIBLE SHOW. BREATHTAKING. HIPSHAKING. LOVEMAKING. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCKING INTERGALATICALLY MINDBLOWING.

OH MAN Mogwai is in like a month but I am so fucking excited

Scarychips · « **Reply #868 on:** 14 Apr 2009, 18:57 »

Thursday, Metric is putting on a free show in an Apple Store in Montreal. I convinced my sister to come with me. So yeah, pretty excited.

JimmyJazz · « **Reply #869 on:** 14 Apr 2009, 21:20 »

Seein' Bruce Springsteen in about two weeks. Laugh/gag all you want, the man is awesome.

Also, (hopefully) I'll be seeing Leonard Cohen, Grizzly Bear, TV On The Radio and the Subhumans soon as well.

Ballard · « **Reply #870 on:** 14 Apr 2009, 22:43 »

Man I don't think anyone is pretentious enough to write off The Boss.

I don't adore his music but I totally acknowledge and respect that he is the reigning badass of rock 'n' roll.

There are a million people more badass than Bruce Springsteen. Henry Rollins and Lemmy are infinitely more badass.

Have Henry Rollins or Lemmy ever slid cock-first into a camera and walked away unscathed?

No really have they

Pretty & Nice this Friday at the Firebird. Woo. Plus, the EFFING PAPERCHASE are coming in June!

And not just them. Springsteen just has some sort of untouchable status among past and present rock stars. Let him be 'til he kicks the bucket. Consider it a lifetime achievement award.

The Shills at the Newbury Comics in Harvard Square on Saturday night?

Free show for Record Store Day, why not?

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #878 on:** 22 Apr 2009, 10:52 »

in about five minutes, i'm off to catch the train to birmingham to see Bridge and Tunnel. last time i saw them was at The Fest, and they put on possibly the most passionate and intense live performance i've ever seen. tonight promises to be fucking amazing...

Radical AC · « **Reply #879 on:** 22 Apr 2009, 23:17 »

I just got back from seeing The Thermals with Shaky Hands and Point Juncture, WA. Pretty amazing show, but couldn't get any of my friends to go. So I just kind of hung around a bar by myself between the sets. I need to get some new non-sucky friends.

Calaveth · « **Reply #880 on:** 23 Apr 2009, 13:40 »

How about concerts I can't go to? I'll be in Japan for vacation for most of May, and on the 16th, MONO, Pelican and World's End Girlfriend all play at a mini festival in Tokyo. Of course, I'm in Osaka then, and can't reschedule. Aaaaargh.

scarred · « **Reply #881 on:** 23 Apr 2009, 13:48 »

stoked!

Ballard · « **Reply #882 on:** 23 Apr 2009, 13:55 »

There is a ridiculous amount of things going on this Saturday. All week I've gotten invites to things, been like "oh shit sweet!" and then realized I couldn't go because they are all Saturday night when my band has a gig.

Toots and the Maytals May the 30th Glasgow.

Will be epic.

Apparently Bomb The Music Industry! is playing with some DC bands in a 7-11 tomorrow in conjunction with the IMF/World Bank protests going on this weekend.

This should be an interesting time.

I almost saw Gang Gang Dance for free today but then I stayed at Astor Place and smoked cigarettes and bummed around all evening. Are they any good? Never heard 'em.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #890 on:** 28 Apr 2009, 09:59 »

Guys, on friday I played in the opening band for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to, and/or played in. It's really strange because no one was that into it. They're much better live than they are on their album. I'm still recovering from it.

sean · « **Reply #891 on:** 29 Apr 2009, 15:46 »

man shit there are gonna be so many good shows this may.

in a week im seeing fucking mono, then i might go see sawhorse and algernon cadwallader the next weekend (might), then itll be DC punx when ill see an aria then fucking hell the next weekend is at fucking scumbag nation (my favorite house in the DC area) and fuck piano becomes the teeth and GODDAMNED PYGMY LUSH are playing, along with two bands first shows!

Definitely Wilco.

Kyros · « **Reply #896 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 16:35 »

I'm thinking of going with Wilco too, because they're playing 20 minutes from my house and therefore I won't have to spend MORE money on Train tix to NYC.

Also <fanboy>EIGHT DAYS till The Thermals, ULTRA PUMPED YO.</fanboy>

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #897 on:** 30 Apr 2009, 16:47 »

If you see Wilco, report back and tell us if their new material is as silly as the album title suggests.

valley_parade · « **Reply #898 on:** 01 May 2009, 06:33 »

I've seen youtube videos of "One Wing" and it's a badass song.

Also, "Wilco (the album)" is a great title.

Very soon Melt-Banana are returning, arguably the best band on the face of the planet.
