yeah i saw LB in a praking lot in providence like two years ago. it was pretty mindblowing

I'm going to the Melvins tonight. I'm really surprised they're playing my home city and I'm not sure if they're even sold out. Any idea if they still have two drummers?

mbv at roseland 22/3 sept

Drug Teeth and the Texas Rocket Rangers (yay! original line up!), a week and a half after that it's the Epic Polka Dots (yay! yay! yay!)!!!

I was going to go see TVOnTheRADIO, but now, I just don't know.....

their live show is always ten times more amped up than their LP's

Aimee Mann on Friday!

only thing im 100 percent positive im going to is the deerhoof/experimental dental school show, because i know for a fact its coming to tucson, which not much does.

i was also thinking of flying home to catch the provi bolt/usaisamonster gig. thatll be a monster of a show, everyone knows that the bolt is the best live band on the planet right now, but not everyone knows that usaisamonster is sometimes just as if not more ferocious of a live band then them at times.

bitch. they need to get their asses over here.


goto80 and stu on saturday.

man some show. i saw usaisamonster in a pub in dublin about 18 months ago... there was 10 people at it.. me, a mate, the band members, bar staff, sound guy and a bloke with dreads.. it was sad and quite funny too!

So fucking stoked for this, holy crap.


The last time USAISAMONSTER came here, I was so badly out of commission from jaw surgery I couldn't even get up, let alone go... :( some friends got me some stuff, though.

r.e.m. in Turin 27 sept and Sonic Youth 11 Oct

You mean December, right? At that 20th anniversary thing of Rise Above records.
They were so awesome yesterday. Justin Oborn has become a total fatty nowadays and playing 3 songs of that last album was a bit much maybe, but Supercoven, Funeralopolis and Return Trip more than made up for it. Majestic.

9/30 - MBV
10/3 - Sigur Ros
10/16 - Dead C and Six Organs of Admittance (don't have the ticket yet, but I'm going no matter what)

Hopefully Sunburned on one of their Nor Cal shows.

against me, ted leo, deerhoof, conor oberst, of montreal

The Hellacopters!

Yeah, I really don't like "Witchcult Today" at all. "Total fatty"? Ha ha ha! Still, I am really looking forward to the Rise Above night.

by the way, forget it, it's sold out now.
