Going to go see the Mountain Goats and James Blake soon! Within two days of each other.

Also, not going to a four day folk festival. Sad times.

Managed to get a ticket for The Cure.
Performing their first three albums in sequence.
At the Sydney Opera House.
On my birthday.

Went to Stag & Dagger last night, saw Blue Sky Archives, Zeus, French Wives, Conquering Animal Sound, and The Rural Alberta Advantate.

All of them were excellent. In a week I'm headed to Primavera. Bring. It.

Edit: unless. of course. this fucking iceland volano causes all flights to get cancelled again.

This generation keeps waiting for a sign.

It isn't going to get one.

Man, that was the happiest gig. Best line - he forgot his lyric, stopped the song. The drummer ran on and off the stage to get something, and so he said:

"Everything happens for a reason. Not that I believe that! People who say that are just telling themselves that to reassure themselves, to keep the chaos at bay.

If everything happened for a reason, and you knew what that reason was, you'd be angry."

Win.

I caught them last year but will definitely be seeing them when they come through next month. Yay!

Bought a ticket a couple days ago to see Explosions in the Sky in October. Should be cool.

Oh man! They're playing in Montreal this October! I am definitely going to do all I can to see that.

So I just got back from Sasquatch and my everything hurts. It was the greatest weekend of music I could conceive of. Front center at DFA1979 and Archers of Loaf. Sleigh Bells and Thermals dance parties just to name a few. Like, I kept thinking I'm too exhausted to work my way to the front of the stage, but it kept being worth it.

I've got Okkervil River with Titus Andronicus next month and Explosions in the Sky not too far off as well. So, this is probably the best concert year I've ever had.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2567 on:** 01 Jun 2011, 08:13 »

Bouncing Souls/Iron Chic/Make Do And Mend the night of/following Jon & Rachel's wedding.

Am I going to a punk show in a suit cos I'm too lazy to go back to my hostel and change? YES.

imagist42 · « **Reply #2568 on:** 01 Jun 2011, 13:15 »

The Dodos tonight!

imagist42 · « **Reply #2569 on:** 02 Jun 2011, 00:44 »

Awful mixing but still a good show!

Regress · « **Reply #2570 on:** 02 Jun 2011, 18:52 »

I saw the Dodo's a few months ago, and same issue, good show awful mixing. Anyways, I just got back from Kyle Kinane, which was awesome, and am seeing Parenthetical Girls this coming Monday. Then Yo la Tengo in just a week or so, this is a good month to be in Minneapolis.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #2571 on:** 03 Jun 2011, 11:43 »

I saw him live once! It was just him and an acoustic guitar, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Melodic · « **Reply #2572 on:** 03 Jun 2011, 17:00 »

Trufax: Elvis Costello regularly came by my coffee shop until about a year ago. Dunno where he went, but the dude is the most totally down-to-earth famous person I have ever known.

Tickets I want!!: Mountain Goats in 2 weeks, Decemberists in 2 months, Frank Turner & Andrew Jackson Jihad in 4 months.

One of my friends showed me the lineup for the Revival Tour featuring Chuck Ragan, Brian Fallon, Dan Andriano, and at least two other dudes that I forgot. Bad news is it's only UK/Europe

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #2574 on:** 04 Jun 2011, 02:17 »

I was going to see Archers of Loaf tonight. I was very excited. I made sure my work schedule wouldn't interfere with it.

Last weekend I got a bad ear infection that led to a perforated eardrum. No exposure to loud rock music for me for a while.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #2575 on:** 04 Jun 2011, 13:47 »

primavera.

it. was. kick. ass.

was a lot drunker than last year, but also passed by a lot more famous bands (i gave animal collective a miss over ofwgkta and dj shadow) and i think i definitely saw all of the better options.

Sloan apparently does free concerts in Buffalo every summer.

A coworker and I are debating getting Sunday passes for the ATP thing in New Jersey this fall. It's a fuck of a lineup. Earth, ASMZ, Mogwai, dd/mm/yyyy...

Portishead is now booked for Roskilde.

Bought tickets with a couple of friends yesterday to go see Paul McCartney at Yankee Stadium. Cost me more than I would normally pay for seats up in the nosebleeds but it's Sir Fucking Paul.

okkervil river w/ titus andronicus in two dayssssssss

I saw PAWS, plastic animals, and Milk Maid last night. It was the second time I've seen PAWS in a month, and they are so frikken excellent. plastic animals were a pleasant surprise. Milk Maid were a bit disappointing, especially after PAWS performance.

I'm seeing them Friday.

MORAL DILEMMA: The Black Lips are playing a show the same night... I already got my Okkervil ticket months ago, but I am pretty bummed at the conflict.

Oh shit, Okkervil sold out. Wasn't expecting that.

I'd be a lot more bummed if I weren't super stoned.

God damn guys why was I too cheap to buy my ticket online (paying additional fees) and too forgetful to give money to somebody who could make it to the record store they sold paper tickets at? Fuckin'

Radical AC · « **Reply #2589 on:** 18 Jun 2011, 03:54 »

There were so few people at Okkervil in Boise it was baffling. I guess that is what happens when Cake and Black Lips play the same night. TEENS opened up for the Black Lips and apparently got banned from the Boise Knitting Factory.

Wooden Birds July 12th, hopefully.

That would be a sick week. Wooden Birds one night, and Manchester United the next.

They played Boxcar at my show, and the most intense and terrifying performance of Family Happiness ever, and This Magic Moment, Jesus Fucking Christ they were amazing.

Not going to see Wooden Birds. Travel constrictions (aka Amtrak is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW).

But eff that, Iron Chic were the shit on Saturday. KILLED IT.

KaosPilot · « **Reply #2596 on:** 28 Jun 2011, 00:35 »

Joan of Arc were really fucking good last night. Bobby Burg is the nicest dude ever, Tim Kinsella's meandering stage banter made him pretty endearing and the music was just wow. They even played an Owls song. I was made up.

Support bands were all good as well. Hot Club de Paris sounded tight as usual. Min Diesel were good but it's a shame Seas,Starry had their set cut short by an ill-timed amp failure as I was really getting into them.

Okay, So I'm looking at stuff that will be happening in various places across the West Coast while I'm there and just saw that Okkervil River is playing with the Decembrists in Portland, and the first day that I get there the Warped Tour is there. Do I go?

sean · « **Reply #2599 on:** 03 Jul 2011, 07:46 »

saw algernon, they were dope, i shouted and stage dived and banged on the stage and whatnot. rowdy time. only complaint is that the venue had a shitty pa system and you could barely hear the guitar for some reason. other than shit sound tho, good show.
