Hey! That's about half an hour from where I live. You should stopped in Janesville.

I had no choice in the matter. Our free time in scheduled in and even then we don't get all that much of it.

Man, those monsoons in Malta are terrible.

My 'spring break' (also known as easter holidays) is going to be spent writing essays so I can study for my exams when I go back. WOO.

Y'know what, nevermind. Don't come here, there are already too many people in Lakeview.

Y'know, other than drinking and watching Bears/Cubs games, I don't really know what people do around here. huh

I mean, during the summer the lake is fun, but this ain't the summer. The museums are great, but who wants to go to a museum on their spring break?

Again- yeah, but recently? Seems as though it's died down quite a lot since the mid-80's/early 90's. Austin has the most live music venues per capita in the US, and it has a crap ton of music festivals, as well as a lot of really great new bands. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the Bay area has a bad scene, or whatever, but it can't really compare to Austin- at least not in 2008.

Eh, the Bay is where I've seen and met Bo Diddley, where I saw Ted Leo and got his autograph on my ticket, and where I saw Jimmy Buffett (which, sadly, was the worst show I've ever seen, it was part of the Tiki Time tour). I'd say that's pretty alright.

My actual hometown has turned into a giant packet of hardcore bands/dancers (read: shit) and a few good bands who never get any gigs because they're not shitty hardcore bands.

That was pretty good, thanks.  Proof, I suppose, that my internet searches should stop beginning and ending with Wikipedia.

That's not quite the same though. I've seen Ted Leo in a venue that can hold 300 people, I've drank with Against Me! after they came here before Searching for a Former Clarity, almost saw Wolf Parade RIGHT when Apologies came out (was too young), saw Calvin Johnson and Mt. Eerie with about a dozen other people, and my ex headbutted Wesley Willis and then they took him out to Denny's*. That doesn't really mean anything about the music scene other than that our location is fantastic, so bands going from the twin cities to Seattle play here on the way.

Though actually, going straight up with shows and bands coming out of the area, I think Victoria and Vancouver BC, Portland OR and Olympia WA, Athens GA, and probably Montreal are the hot spots now.


*I didn't mean that to be "My rock cock is bigger than yours!" but it came out that way. Sorry!

I'd have guessed the Canadians would have a pretty strong presence. I'd have never guessed Athens though (I associate Athens with R.E.M. and the B-52s and I can't stand those guys).

The early work by these two groups was phenomenal.

And then we have such lovely gems as "Love Shack". I'll be out back with my pipe and my tobacco if you need me.

I am actually pro-any-b52s-ever, though I'm surprised you didn't mention the Elephant 6, most of which are based out of Athens. There's been a lot of noteworthy artists since though, my favorite being Jucifer.

HOWEVER, I was probably guilty of simplifying the Bay area's scene. I was talking to a fella from the area (He is the bassist in Chow Nasty) and he said the good thing about the Bay area is that it's an AREA and there are many different things coming from each city. Oakland doesn't really sound like SF, which doesn't sound like SJ, and so on.

Fuck you, I love Love Shack. I made a music video of it when I was 8 and it is the best music video ever.
