    Why won't you come to England Andrew Jackson Jihad? I personally could get at least 70 people to a AJJ gig and that is only among teenagers in Barnet and Camden. *sigh*
    You should email them.
    Holy shit, I need to email them like right now.

    In other news, fucking Lollapalooza in 1 week. I am staying in a 37th floor apartment on the lake to avoid having to commute. Fuck yes.

    Shows I saw this weekend:

    --Soundgarden. 25ft from the stage for the first hour of the first show they've put on in 15 years. It was incredible; for the second hour the volume had driven me back to the lawn several hundred feet from the stage, and Black Hole Sun was still borderline painful. What a show.
    --Lady Gaga. Oh mans, this surprised me with how fucking crazy and awesome it was. I have never seen a more well-designed, intricate, and hypnotic piece of performance art anywhere. And let me give credit where credit is due: Gaga might be known for synthy pop songs, but she has killer piano chops.
    --Phoenix. Totally fucking killer. The crowd was so chill and into the music too. It was a great headliner choice.
    --DEVO. Mark Mothersbaugh and the guys have still got it. They sounded and acted like they did back when their first album broke, with boiler suits, energy domes and all. That show was so much fun.
    --Gogol Bordello. PARTY!
    --Wolfmother. Goddamn, are they awesome live. Their keyboardist jumped up on his lower keyboard and played it with his feet while rocking out on the upper one with his hands for Joker and The Thief. That's rock and roll.
    --Balkan Beat Box. Second only to Gogol Bordello in terms of the raw energy they pulled from the crowd. It was all about that klezmer-informed sax.
    --Los Amigos Invisibles. Venezuelan Electro Acid-Funk? YES PLEASE.
    --Metric. This band is likely the perfect fit for the Scott Pilgrim movie.
    --Company of Thieves. So good.
    --Yeasayer. The crowd never stopped moving, it was a blast.
    --Blitzen Trapper. Truly incredible live. Their albums really don't do them justice.
    --The Black Keys. Holy fucking shit, the jams these guys laid down. It was everything I wanted.
    --Blues Traveler. Am I a dork for liking this? Yes. Was it still fucking awesome? Totally. They covered "Creep" and "What I got." With fucking harmonica.
    --Matt & Kim. What I saw was crazy good. I hear tell they covered Biz Markie's "Just A Friend." Missing that is my only Lolla regret.
    --Chromeo. Awesome jams.
    --Company of Thieves. Awesome, not-so-well-known Chicago folk pop outfit. Great music and a lot of fun. Check it out sometime.
    --Cut Copy

    So yeah, Lolla killed, but I am burnt out.

    Not a concert, but got some tickets to see Chris Hardwick doing his stand-up comedy in Philadelphia on August 25th. I've been listening to his podcast on The Nerdist for a long time now, and I recommend checking it out.

    These guys are excellent.

    It's U2. That was all needed to house Bono's ego.

    EIDT: That's one hell of an impressive setup, though.

    I can imagine a similar thing happening once Rym: The Musical opens.

    Singing animatronic mudkips with Rym strutting about on stage wearing a codpiece.


    Anyway, the next concerts I'm going to will be the ones at PAX.

    Gorillaz is coming near me in October. If only it wasn't wicked expensive and on a Tuesday.

    I just saw REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar at Bethel Woods (site of Woodstock) last night. The show was fun, the venue was spectacular - lawn seats are the way to go there.

    Gonna see of Montreal next Friday. So friggin' excited.
  • Admiral HotcakesAdmiral Hotcakes
    Holy fucking shit. of Montreal's show was a mindfuck in every sense of the word. There were about ten different costumes/props and Kevin Barnes basically had on-stage sex with all of them.

    I was going to go to of Montreal this week, but instead I have to take an organic chem exam. The cosmos are pissing hot acid into my eyes.

    I do as well. That might be worth a plane ticket and vagabond backpacking.
  • DromaroDromaro
    @Sail - I'm gathering info presently BUT what you posted is old news *Sept 8*. I remain hopeful. ^__^
  • SailSail
    If they haven't confirmed a month in advance, it probably ain't happening. However, if they do end up confirming, Bunnikun and I both will be there no matter how last minute, since she's visiting that weekend.
