I'm going to Jack Rose and Fursaxa on the fifth and Jackie-O-Motherfucker on the ninth both at the hall mall in IC. Probably irrelevant though as I think Dietzer123 is the only other IC person on the board and he/she is into different stuff.

Apart from Lightning Bolt on the 22nd of May I don't have anything I'm definitely going to.

I might go and see Wayne Shorter in a couple of weeks....well, someone swears he's playing in Treorchy although that seems like the most unlikely thing ever and is probably some sort of misunderstanding. So possibly not.

Dinosaur Jr., 4/7 @ The Orange Peel, Asheville, NC

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, June 16-18, Manchester, TN

YYYs live action the fourth time, and I am absolutely sure they will rock again

Go on your own or something. If you really want to go....DO IT!!!

exhuming the corpse of a thread.

so where are you getting your rocks off?

me, it's going to be metal mania for the next couple of months:

sept 24 and 25: SLAYER!!!!
sept 30: dark funeral
oct 8: 1349

nitzer ebb, cephalic carnage and krisiun are also coming but i'm not sure if i'm going since i'm not sure where i stand with nitzer, cephalic carnage have sucked for the last couple of albums and i'm not really familiar with krisiun...who knows?

I've heard news according which DÄLEK will be performing here in my hometown (which sadly wont be my hometown by that time) on an annual alternative festival. Jesus christ.

Also before that is the Sunburned... gig, which hopefully will be the greatest moment of my life if just can get there.

blind idiot god/ Flying luttenbachers coming Weds night at the Tonic

i totally missed blind idiot god with don cab at knitting factory when i was in ny...have fun, the luttenbachers slay!

ps: can you tell all the bands who have done stuff on archive to come to mexico?

dunno if it's your thing, but i think i saw kawabata makoto's playing in mexico in some form or other (not sure if it's with amt)


damn quiet for gigs in the summer months. i only have avarus and sunburned hand of the man for august. then for september so far just text of light or whatever it is lee ranaldo will be doing and also liars.

Seeing Youth Group in a few weeks. And then Bluebottle Kiss there after.

OH MY GOD!!!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

seriously dude, you have made my day!!!!

problem is, i'm banned from the place...oh well, nothing begging and paying twice as much won't solve. i still can't believe it!!!!

What did you do to get yourself banned?

i told the guy who booked shows there to fuck off when he pulled my band out of a bill i put together. that was like 3 years ago anyway, he's probably not there anyway.

it keeps getting better:

"...this time Yoshida will play songs from Koenji Hyakkei and Korekyojinn too."

I'm going to the Osheaga festival in Montreal to see Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. Unfortunately I can't make the second day because of work and the cost is up there, but it's alright, the only bands that I'll be missing is The Flaming Lips and Final Fantasy which isn't too bad (I saw Final Fantasy and barely know The Flaming Lips).

SY this saturday then deerhoof the next day, brooklyn here i come baby.

I went to Lollapalooza this weekend. And i will be seeing Sonic Youth and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on friday.

hahaha...I've been banned from 2 sites lately !!! :D

I'm gonna see The James Gang next Friday at Red Rocks outside Denver. This is with Joe Walsh, Jim Foxx and Dale Peters...the classic early 70s lineup....

I'll be picking up a friend coming in from Japan earlier that day and while he's here we'll also drive to the top of Pikes Peak...

X - 8/7
flaming lips/sy - 8/26
touch and go 25th anniversary - 9/8-10
ATP NBC - 12/8-10

Damn you. I'd kill to go to the t&g and/or ATP.

i'll sell you a ticket for $100

If i could get to either of those i'd be all over that ticket but they're both pretty far although i'm sure you're talking about the t&g anniversary. Thanks though.

Already have a ticket for:
August 24: Flaming Lips/Sonic Youth @ Minnesota State Fair

Other possibilities:
August 9: Wolf Parade @ First Ave
September 12: Built to Spill @ First Ave OR Shellac @ Varsity Theater :mad:
September 13: Built to Spill @ First Ave

I'll be at both of those. I have high expectations for the one tomorrow.

EDIT: I guess technically it's today. Whatever.

i am rather excited.

my friend went to one of the f l/ s y shows and he said sy was terrible, i trust him

That Japanese New Music thing is intriguing. What is that, 7 bands formed by the three of them? Whatever. Yoshida kicks ass.

When I think about how much fun I had at The Knitters concert, I can't even imagine what an actual X show will be like. I hope I don't faint. That would be embarrassing. And anyway, I'm saving that for when Nsync decides to reunite.

if it's as good as their bootlegs i will have gotten my money's worth/

considering: Dinosaur Jr., Lancaster 8-27: SY, Pittsburgh 8-29: remnants of Alice In Chains, Oct.

the fact that i was sick in the bathroom for part of it was a bit of a deterrent, but otherwise it was a good show.

luxinterior, what did you think?

I thought it was the most fun I've had in recent memory. X sounded amazing. When they played The Unheard Music...I mean, that was the unexpected highlight of the concert for me. I had been hoping for Nausea (though not the kind you had, which I'm sorry about), and of course that was great. But when they played the former, it just sounded unbelieveable. It's a good song on record, no doubt, but I was just shocked at how much better it could sound just because it was being played live.

I get sick of going to shows where everyone just stands there like they're bored to tears. When I see a band like X, I want to just go completely apeshit, and move around and sweat a lot and the whole package. As much as I like seeing Sonic Youth, the rest of the audience for the most part really pisses me right off. They love the songs, or so they say, but they won't even show it. I just like unreserved crowds. Which isn't to say that I am in favor of the many fistfights that broke out near me during the Rollins Band's set. On that note, Henry Rollins has always annoyed me greatly, and after that concert, I can honestly say that he still does. I had to try hard not to start laughing hysterically at all of his macho bravado for fear of being beaten up by one of the 200+ lb guys around me. Anyway, seeing him in person was very surreal. I can't really say I'm a fan of his, but it seems I see him on TV all the time, and seeing people from TV in real life is always very weird.

How much of it did you miss when you were in the bathroom? That really is unfortunate. My friend that I was with said she felt physically ill during the Rollins Band. Afterwards we went to Steak n Shake and ate cheeseburgers. I had a good time.

i was sick for maybe 10 minutes at the beginning of X's set from a bunch of painkillers that i had taken for a cough (they are quite useful as a cough supressant, though they incidentally can also induce nausea). i did notice quite a bit of turmoil during the rollins band set, which was rather amusing, particularly given my state of mind at the time. most people at shows here are so boring, especially when i went to see bob dylan. i literally almost fell asleep.
i, too, was also hoping that X would play nausea.

10 minutes, well that's not bad. It wasn't even the best ten minutes of the show.

People who go to Rollins Band concerts are the type of people who like to headbutt other people.

Did you see Dylan at the Pageant? I thought I remembered him playing there not too long ago. I wasn't there, but I was told that it was a great concert even though he just sat in a chair the whole time and didn't move. Does this sound like the one you went to?

i saw dylan twice at the pageant a couple of years ago (i think he did three shows in a row) and he was great, and then i saw him in april and it was less than great. he didn't touch a guitar, he just stood at his keyboard the whole time. you really can't go into a dylan show with any expectations.

I can't picture anyone standing at a keyboard without also automatically picturing them playing "I Ran (So Far Away)". I'm guessing he didn't do this.

I'm trying to get my dad to take me to see the Silver Jews or Deerhoof.
