Erm, so I'm going to be seeing Gang of Four in march, apparently. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Like, is their live show still any good?

Also, I'm going to Laneway festival this year, which has the most kickass lineup ever! Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Beach House, Blonde Redhead, Cut Copy, Deerhunter, Les Savy Fav and Menomena, to just name the acts I'm interested in.

Also!! Caribou + Four tet playing together, The Books, and Sufjan Stevens all touring here at the start of next year. Fffuck I'm going to be broke.

Girl Talk is playing a show near me in February. The last show I saw at that venue (the Wellmont Theater in Montclair NJ) was Modest Mouse and though it's a cool venue, the sound was awful. He's also playing at the end of February in NYC at Terminal 5. Should I bother going to either show?

Damn, just got tickets for the Casiotone show here in Edinburgh. They're being supported by My Tiny Robots and some guy named Alisdair Young. My Tiny Robots are ace so I'm excited.

I can't get that stoked on Girl Talk these days (though I was listening to him earlier today, go figure), but his live shows are something to behold. You should probably go.

When I saw him there were giant beachballs, confetti, streamers, and um...oh yeah...an inflatable whale the size of a school bus. It's a blast. That was at a big outdoors festival type deal though, so if it's a smaller place it probably won't get that crazy.

Still recommend it though, his mixes feel much less boring and souless live.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #2161 on:** 10 Nov 2010, 15:11 »

Yeah, Girl Talk is a must see. A lot of fun.

Retrospectre · « **Reply #2162 on:** 11 Nov 2010, 01:44 »

Who would be more worth seeing these days; Wire or Gang Of Four?

Both are coming to town,playing the same venue and cost about the same.

I saw Kayo Dot last night. Considering I adore pretty much all of Toby Driver's music, I expected to be impressed, but they just blew my fucking mind. Seeing them live brings a whole new context to their music, and if anything makes sense of it - the Coyote material, for one, was incomparably better in a live setting.

Seeing DJ Shadow tomorrow, as well. Really excited for that, since I've never seen him, and I hear this tour will be kind of like In Tune and On Time was.

Grinderman next week. Fuck yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

So, uh, guess who is doing a free all-ages in-store performance & signing at my favorite record store on Sunday the 21st?

Robyn.

HOLY. SHITTING. BALLS.

Vuk · « **Reply #2167 on:** 13 Nov 2010, 23:45 »

I ended up getting really sick the day of the DJ Shadow show, and ended up not going.

Last show I went to sick was Isis/Pelican/Tombs, and even though the show was amazing, it was a nightmare for me, mentally.

De_El · « **Reply #2168 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 04:55 »

Robyn played in my city yesterday! The show sold out well in advance, it sucked that I couldn't go.

But! I'm seeing Os Mutantes and Ariel Pink on Saturday, so it's all good.

Rumor has it I was in Boston to see the Lawrence Arms this weekend.

Such a good rumor. Too bad I wasn't.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #2170 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:03 »

Oh, okay, I guess I totally made the right decision when it comes to buying tickets to a music festival 8 months in advance.

Primavera has now also confirmed Pulp (who are reforming with the original line up), the Flaming Lips, Animal Collective, Swans, Suicide, Belle and Sebastian, Mogwai, The National, Fleet Foxes, John Cale, and Mercury Rev.

scarred · « **Reply #2171 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:05 »

Yeah, Primavera's usually fantastic.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #2172 on:** 15 Nov 2010, 14:09 »

Last year it was fantastic, I bought tickets this year without knowing any of the bands that were going to be playing. It's great because it isn't your usual festival situation, you're in the middle of Barcelona, and you can rent an apartment (I think this is our plan this year) with a couple of people or just crash in a hostel for about a week. They're really relaxed on bringing in drinks, and it's easily one of the cheapest festivals out there. As it stands tickets are 130 euros, but I think they're going up in price tomorrow?

Also, it's on the beach, so when you're done with the music (which starts at about 6 in the afternoon, but goes on until 6 in the morning) you can go swimming in the sea! Or you know, when you wake up, just go hang out on the beach!

HammerHead and Sicker then most are Playing with Reign Supreme, at my favorite local venue. My shoulder hurts already just thinking about it

I'm seeing Os Mutantes today! Yes yes yes

Just got back from THIS and holy shit it was the best ever.

And apparently Umphrey's McGee and the Decemberists are both coming to Boston on the same weekend in January on 3 consecutive nights, so I might just bring a sleeping bag and ask the guys at the house of blues if I can crash for a few days.

Have tickets for two of the Montreal shows.

I cannot wait until April, when I'll be all done my bachelor's degree and can enjoy seeing Godspeed with no worries in my head at all.

Plus I'm ALWAYS excited for Nerdapalooza. But that isn't until next summer.

I'm going to see British Sea Power with Field Music, Electric Soft Parade, 80s Matchbox B-Line Disaster and others.

20 quid but it's a 6pm to 2am, a whole load of stuff going on. It will be so worth it!

I just found out Charlie Parr's playing at the Old Bar, which is a really small bar in Fitzroy and one of my favourite local venues, on New Year's Eve. Hopefully it hasn't sold out yet!

StarF · « **Reply #2192 on:** 05 Dec 2010, 00:46 »

Oh my god, Mac Lethal just did a two hour set. Shit was nuts. I'm so exhausted after that. Amazing show.

Also Culture Cry Wolf is really good.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #2199 on:** 09 Dec 2010, 06:07 »

Turned out to be not so bad. Scotrail put a couple of extra trains in service, there was just a lot of queueing (40 minutes) to get on the train, the train ride took two and a half hours, but we left early enough to still make it to the Barrowlands on time, missed most of the support though. There was a last train at 11.16 which we managed to crawl onto and was absolutely packed. In the end, I did a lot of complaining about nothing.
