I have never listened to Slint. I think I have subconsciously vowed not to just because of how often everyone here talks about Spiderland.

that is ... unwise.

You know how Desmond on Lost had a copy of Our Mutual Friend he hadn't opened, because he had read every other Dickens book but that one and intended it to be the last book he read before he died?

Maybe Spiderland could be my musical Our Mutual Friend.

Fuck all y'all

P.S; I have not heard Spiderland but Tweez is pretty alright.

Supergrass on October 8th.

Not the most inventive band but I really enjoy their particular little blend of pop-rock.

Guys, as the new booking director at WXBC, my college radio station, I'm right in the middle of booking Shearwater to play in a awesome garage/venue here on campus. I'm totally going to get to hang out with them. I'm really excited!
Same with Bishop Allen and Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, come to think of it.

ashashash · « **Reply #258 on:** 25 Aug 2008, 17:19 »

I missed a Girl Talk show a month or so ago, and apparently he's really amazing live. I was bummed I couldn't go.

But uh, here's my list for the next couple months:

man man - 8/27
built to spill - 9/6
okkervil river - 9/20
deerhoof - 10/6
gogol bordello - 10/7

Mainly I'm excited about Man Man and Deerhoof. I might go see Atmosphere too, but I might be too broke to afford it by then.

Bonus points for Stars and Iron and Wine also playing here, but on the same nights as other shows. Awesome (but not really).

M83, Built to Spill, Okkervil River, Mogwai, Efterklang

AHHHHH efterklang....

They only played 21+ venues last time they were here.
I emailed the band and apparently they had no idea.

I will see them eventually...

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #260 on:** 25 Aug 2008, 18:53 »

Go out of your way to see them! Seriously.

mat_mantra · « **Reply #262 on:** 26 Aug 2008, 12:27 »

@$##^!!. Of course Okkervil River would be coming to Germany when i'm home on leave

EDIT: Minor consolation: Might be able to catch Mogwai in Cologne before i leave. Fingers crossed.....

Jonny Lang tonight, in one hour. I am more excited than you could ever imagine.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #264 on:** 26 Aug 2008, 20:42 »

I will be seeing the Brian Jonestown Massacre tomorrow night, on account of my girlfriend being a huge fan.

I think their music is pretty alright, I suppose. Anyway, I'm hoping it'll be good.

Then on Saturday I'll be going to a warehouse party with seven stages. It will have more music than you can poke a stick at. It will be free. It will be full of lovely people who support underground free parties. It will be fucking awesome.

Ballard · « **Reply #265 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 03:50 »

Aw man I love the shit out of that band. I saw the BJM just recently and it depresses me that I probably won't get to again for a long time.

Wasteroo · « **Reply #266 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 09:07 »

Bumbershoot is this weekend in Seattle. I'm not sure if I'm terribly excited about it though.

It will be my first exposure to Neko Case, however. Are they terribly good? I do not know. I will Monday, though.

allison · « **Reply #267 on:** 27 Aug 2008, 09:51 »

I'm going to the Shelter Valley Folk Festival this weekend! It's all folk music and there's on-site camping, the food is organic and the stages are powered with sustainable energy sources!

Oh man. So stoked.

Neko Case is a single woman (though I would assume she's playing with a band) and she's not terribly good, I would say she's simply good.

I'm en route to see Radiohead.

yeah. I'm excited.

Before the year's end I will see:

Nightwish
Mogwai

Fleet Foxes

more to come...

DMart · « **Reply #271 on:** 28 Aug 2008, 03:39 »

In absolutely no order:

Little Red 12/9
Brian Jonestown Massacre 31/8
the New Pornographers 11/10
Ladytron 3/10

I have no idea how the last three are supposed to be live... but I'm excited anyway. I haven't been going to nearly enough shows lately.

Sese · « **Reply #272 on:** 29 Aug 2008, 14:16 »

The police show @ Madison Square Garden.

It was a future show but not any more.

My luck that most of my favoriate songs were covered during the final wrapped up show in New York's Madison Square Garden in August, such as - Message in a Bottle
Walking on the Moon, Roxanne, So Lonely, Every Breath You Take and Next to You... I found it's funny when the police were joined by the New York Police Department marching band for "Message in a Bottle" when they wrapped up this blockbuster 15-month reunion tour .

Man, Sting will always be a dick and no amount of money or publicity will change that.

Man, you got me all excited about that (I went to the website and also saw CYHSY and Islands at a glance) until I noticed it is in the second week of November and I will no longer be here. Missing it by three days. I hate you now.

imagist42 · « **Reply #275 on:** 30 Aug 2008, 10:41 »

It's not college (what college starts in November?...), and it's really not up to me any more.

Right now I have tickets for My Morning Jacket, The Who, Drive By Truckers/The Hold Steady, TV On The Radio.

I really can't wait for The Who.

East Village Radio Festival on September 6th (Boris is headlining, other notables include Vivian Girls, Ólöf Arnalds, BIG A little a, Crystal Stilts), the Mars Volta on September 17th, Mogwai on September 18th, and My Bloody Valentine in late September.

On the 25th and 26th of September, Built to Spill, Dinosaur Jr. and Meat Puppets are gonna be in NYC.

I'm fuckin' psyched.

Just saw mewithoutyou and Maps & Atlases, both of whom were great. I sure hope mewithoutYou gets their new album out this year.

Sigur Ros is coming to Seattle in October, and I'm pretty sure I'm excited. I've never seen them live before, so I don't really know what it's like.

The Cheesinator · « **Reply #282 on:** 04 Sep 2008, 15:05 »

Born Ruffians in November. I hope it will be as excellent as I feel their album is. And maybe they'll have nice merch.

Mogwai and Fuck Buttons at the Wiltern on September 9th. its in L.A. anyone else going? i just moved to california and dont particularly want to go alone.

Ted Leo and Minus the Bear are playing the same place in Detroit next month, one right after the other. That will be a good weekend!

3Z3VH · « **Reply #285 on:** 05 Sep 2008, 23:30 »

I was pissed to find out that Sigur Ros was playing in my backyard, and I never heard that he was coming... to RedRocks no less !

I may just head up there and hope for a scalper, because General Admission seating is not my cup of tea.

valley_parade · « **Reply #286 on:** 06 Sep 2008, 09:53 »

I'm seeing them on the 19th. It'll be great fun.

TheFuriousWombat · « **Reply #287 on:** 06 Sep 2008, 11:57 »

The 18th for me. And Stars the night after. I'm excited! It'll be really cool, despite my initial dismay, to see SR without Amiina or the brass section (since no shows on the US leg of the tour will have them) b/c they'll be forced to play a lot of stuff which doesn't rely on those elements i.e. a lot of stuff that they don't often play live.

3Z3VH · « **Reply #288 on:** 06 Sep 2008, 23:57 »

He is going to be playing Red Rocks on the 27th. If you have never seen a concert at Red Rocks, you really are missing out. I hope I don't have to miss out on this.

Throw me a PM on the days leading up to the show. I've got 4 tickets and I'm not sure all the accounted people are going to pull through for me.

3Z3VH · « **Reply #290 on:** 07 Sep 2008, 00:21 »

I would honestly kiss you. Where are the seats ? Do I have to find a girl to take the other seat before then ?

KvP · « **Reply #291 on:** 07 Sep 2008, 00:34 »

Man, who knows. I got one girl starting up a second job and another girl in medical school. They've been pretty good about adhering to plans before but hell, you never really know. I should be fairly certain about 2 of the 3 girls by about this time next week (I hope) but they might drop out on short notice. That's happened with other friends. If none of mine are loose you could still make the attempt to snag a ticket. Scalpers are at every show, and you might even find some concertgoers selling their tickets at cost. If you make it in I'll buy you a beer or something. But I'd hate for you to make the trek and come up empty-handed. Your call.

At the point I got the tickets I suspect they'd been on sale for awhile, so they're row 38, which is a little over halfway up. Sound and line of sight are both pretty excellent at Red Rocks, though.

3Z3VH · « **Reply #292 on:** 07 Sep 2008, 01:11 »

Good deal !

Hmm... I guess I should start looking for someone to bring, and gauge how much I like that person, with how much I want to spend... I just found someone selling a Row 2 pair of tickets for $120 each

Definitely can't afford this, though it'll probably happen at Terminal 5 or Roseland Ballroom, literally 100 metres in each direction away from me.

I WOULD SO LIKE TO GO THOUGH DAMN

Nah Kabir, they're all here for the New York ATP festival.

I do believe that a lot of them are playing individual shows while they're here. Like the My Bloody Valentine set we're seeing this month (they're headlining ATP too)
