Hey. What's up?

This is a good summer for seeing music live, i think.

In addition to the always-rad summer festivals and of course rilo kiley's tour, there's that Tom Waits tour (dates yet to be announced) that EVERYONE has been talking about.

There's also the very exciting Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds tour of which I hope to go to the Hollywood Bowl show (with Spiritualized and Cat Power opening).

REM is also touring. I hope to go to that show too (Modest Mouse and The National are opening).

Maybe most exciting, Leonard Cohen is touring (for the first f'ing time in 15 years! and it's only Europe and Canada from what I could find!! Dammit!!)

Name some others!! What other shows is everyone planning on going to? I realize I only mentioned huge tours, no club tours or anything. I got the big shits out of the way, what other tours is everyone excited about?

One show i'm going to for sure is Man Man in Santa Barbara later this month. I think im seeing M83 in San Francisco next month as well. and The Cure in Santa Barbara

I'm really hoping for a Radiohead/Grizzly Bear show in Santa Barbara that i can get tickets for

I wanted to see that REM/MM/National show but i don't want to pay the price. I'm just gonna wait for the next National headline tour.

Oh and maybe Silver Jews will tour, since they have a new album coming out...that'd be rad

i'm still holding out hope for a daft punk tour,
but the only thing I'm planning on going to soon is Ben Folds later this month! Ben Lee is opening! It's going to be great!

In the next couple weeks I'll be going to a Matt Pond PA and Carbon/Silicone show, Nada Surf, Eisley, Rhett Miller, and a few others. I'm so psyched and can't wait for the RK show in June. Having so many great bands come through the city is one of my favorite things about living in NYC.

Somewhat off-topic (funny....i started this topic..sorry, dudes)

I hugely regret missing Harvey Danger's show commemorating the 10th anniversary of their first album's release. It was two shows, two consecutive nights. At the first they played their entire first album, Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone? (presumably in order), as well as every released/semi-released b-side/cover. The second night they played their entire second elbum, King James Version (presumably in order), and their entire third album, Little by Little (presumably in order). It was sometime in March, i dunno. I missed it.

I'm sort of pissed.

I'm going to see Lightspeed Champion in a couple weeks, he's playing a 300-capacity venue which might be nice. Totally kicking myself that ATP is in the middle of my exam period though, which means that once more, I will miss Of Montreal in the UK. Blah.

Well I know this sort of thing falls on deaf ears around here, but I'm most looking forward to Widespread Panic's summer tour. Red Rocks in June and Labor Day Weekend in Aspen, should be very fun. They're flat out the best live band touring right now.

Another one I'm looking forward to is George Clinton at the Health & Harmony Festival in June. Saw P Funk a few years ago on New Year's Eve and it was a blast.

I'd love to see the Roots again, but their dates just aren't in a good window of time for me, so I may have to pass on them. A shame, I've loved every show of their's I've seen.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin @ the Echo - I'm hoping to catch this show.

Gogol Bordello @ Catalyst - 5 hours way from me, so this is out of the picture. They're one of my favorites lately, and it bums me out because I hear they're so great live.

On April 15, I'm headed to Stubbs (in Austin) for Feist.

And I haven't bought my ticket yet, but Rilo Kiley in June.

I can't wait until I move to the Bay Area. San Diego has the crappiest shows and the only good ones are either at terrible venues or are 21 and up. (11 months to go!)

L.A. has awesome shows too. If I still lived there, I'd probably be going to shows 2 or 3 times a week.

Ya, i'm hoping there will be many good shows this summer. i know that i'll get to see Islands, Be Your Own Pet, and Ladytron.

Two of my friends and I are also going to the 2 Rilo shows in Omaha, as well as the shows in Austin and Dallas. Exciting!

I just saw Grand Ole Party on Friday, which was great. I'm going to see Rilo Kiley, obviously, and Josh Ritter next month. I'm also going to see The Kids in the Hall and Eddie Izzard in May, but those aren't really concerts.

I'm going to see Live and The Trews later this month (different shows a week apart). Then I am going to the first ever Pemberton Festival at the end of July and Oasis with Ryan Adams at the end of August. And I'm probably going to see Feist in October (presale starts tomorrow).

I'm hoping they're still good. They've never played anywhere near me before...unless you count Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. And really, those places are nowhere near Edmonton.

I'm going to see Radiohead in August at the HOllywood Bowl!!!! I'm going to drink myself silly in the parking lot! I'm going to try my hardest to go to Austin City Limits this year!

Got Feist and Cat Power in next couple of months - and also very keen to see Sons and Daughters, a Scottish band. There is a sort of Liverpool (UK) version of SXSW coming up soon and they are playing at that
