Pictureplane looked like a very cool guy and his music was good, HEALTH was fucking loud, I was in the front row (just in front of John, the asian dude) and I had no earplugs :D But seriously, yes, that was an awesome show.

I saw them, but wasn't that impressed. Just call me Mr Grumpy.

Last night I saw And So I Watch You From Afar. Soooo good. They're one the best live-acts I've ever seen. Amazing sound and too energetic for words.

The Raveonettes tonight!

Until May, this is what i have in mind:

Bill Callahan
Yo La Tengo
Mono

Having in mind the country i live in, this is probably more that i could ever ask for the first half of the year... Really excited to a lot of 'em, but unfortunately will have to cut some of the list.

The Big Pink in Antwerp 29/1. Also, my brother gave me a ticket for The Horrors for christmas. I think it's on 28/2.

Cam deas somewhere in a houseroom or art gallery(still not sure where it is) and OM+Lichens, the horrors and kickback.

No Fun Acid

Going to see The Tiger Lillies next month

Anybody seen them live? I'm looking forward to it but think there's a fair chance they could get annoying watching a whole show.

Kind of late, but I saw yesterday Taco Bells with Pekko Käppi.
Some badass violin-sax-bass-drums-free-jazz, though it would've been nice to see Pekko playing jouhikko instead of violin.

I haven't been to a lot of gigs lately, but for the next few months I'm intending to go to these and then some more:
White Hills, Chris Corsano/Joe Mcphee, Oneohtrix Point Never, Little Claw, Eyehategod, Nachtmystium, Church of Misery, Darkspace, Goatsnake, Shonen Knife, Pavement, Rangda, Slayer...

Fleshpress and Church of Misery tonight. I'm in the hopes that it'll be Fuckin' heavy.

^^^You should be in for a treat.
Church of Misery absolutely destroyed Roadburn 2008 and Roadburn 2009.

I missed this! Thanks for the offer. I went to see them last night. I'm not sure what I think. I enjoyed it, it was in a very small (100 seat) venue which added to the experience.

I think I expected them to be a lot darker and less comedic.

Still it's rare that anyone worth watching comes to this shithole.

well i'm not just going... i'm playing a solo set tonite, opening for the Magik Markers in Buffalo also Steve Baczkowski (has played w/ Flaherty & Corsano) is on the bill doing a duo set.

joanna newsom tomorrow. maybe Caribou in May
