June 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 07:22 AM) I'm debating whether or not to go to Intonation. A lot of that ultra Indie noise rock geeky s*** is just too wierd for me. It's almost like wierdness just for that sake of being different and pretentious. A lot of it really sux. Sigur Ros puts me to sleep, but hey to each his own, it all depends on what you find interesting in music... kind of like with movies...if angles and lighting and gritty shots thrill you, you may like movies that others find deathly boring...Sigur Ros' intricate backdrops of their music are really beautiful to me and i think they just have a really interesting mood in their music.
June 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 10:05 AM) About the only thing I dislike about Toby Keith is he is on the wrong side of the Red River Rivalry. Instead of singing I should have been a cowboy, he should be singing I should have been a Texan I imagine "I love this bar" must have been huge. Everybody went nuts during "I Love This Bar", "The Taliban Song" and (of course) "The Angry American". Funniest part of the night was after he was talking about being on tour with Willie Nelson, they wrote a song called "Weed With Willie". So they played the song which was pretty damn funny. Then Toby says: "Hey, if you're seventy-two years old out doing 200 concerts a year, you have the right to smoke anything you want to." I've always been surprised that a pretty lefty hippie like Willie Nelson has been able to get over with a pretty traditionally right wing crowd that, albeit stereotypically, prefers country music.
June 19, 200520 yr I saw Judas Priest last weekend, and then saw a small show at the Bitter End in NYC, Autumn Under Echoes (good) and Sputnik's Down (terrible.) G Love and Special Sauce come to the Jersey Shore July 8 at Surf Club in Seaside. Tegan and Sara come to Stone Pony in Asbury July 13. Brian Wilson and his Orchestra come to do Smile live at the PNCBankArtsCenter in August.

LOL thinking of Willie on Lake Street, under the L tracks, buying some weed. I think part of Willie's appeal is he is kind of an outcast. That sells in country a lot of times. Willie has also been the master of being other artists little buddy. He has hitched his wagon to more thoroughbreds than anyone else I can think of.

He is the absolute best live...well, not absolute best...maybe he is...i'd love to see guero live though...i'm sure he's excited to play those songs after sea change (beautiful as that record was.)
June 19, 200520 yr QUOTE(bmags @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:46 PM) G. Love he's great live Saw them in 1998. Awesome show... his bootleg stuff that he sells at shows are pretty damn good, but again he's an artist who's past his peak.

June 20, 200520 yr Possibly ACL Festival in Sept. Although Coldplay is the headliner, which kinda goes against everything I would want in a concert. But, there are 150 other bands...so, I think I could leave before that. It's also 100 degrees in the shade in Austin in September...so that would suck.
June 20, 200520 yr Don Henley and Stevie Nicks kicked ass yesterday. Well Henley did, Nicks is just strange. Mostly Eagles stuff from him and nothing like an encore of Desperado, which got me thinking of Seinfeld lol. But free tickets made this show even better.
June 21, 200520 yr Gigantour- Dream Theater/Megadeth Sounds of the Underground- Clutch CKY- any upcoming shows
July 3, 200520 yr I got tics to see Tom Petty July 15th at the tweeter center...definetly lookin forward to it...Petty=awesome
July 3, 200520 yr How much are Dave Matthews tickets going for? This will be the first time in 4 years I haven't been to a DMB show. Have any so far been good?

July 3, 200520 yr QUOTE(teh shiz @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) Gigantour- Dream Theater/Megadeth Sounds of the Underground- Clutch I'll go to Gigantour to see Dillinger Escape Plan. Really don't have any urge to see anyone else. Sounds of the Underground has a lot of bands I want to see. Unearth, Lamb of God, Poison the Well, Strapping Young Lad and Opeth.

Have any so far been good? Welcome; I went and I got my ticket for $45 for a lawn seat in Noblesville, IN. I absolutely loved it, and I definitely want to see him again.
July 3, 200520 yr Just got back from seeing Santanna at the taste. We were pretty far back and couldn't hear s***. Last night I saw the Black Crowes and Tom Petty at Summerfest. The Crowes kicked major ass, although you couldn't make out anything Chris was singing. If you're a big Petty fan, he puts on a fun show. He plays only his hits, talks to the crowd a lot and does a lot of 'sing along' stuff.

Have any so far been good? Basically, the rest of the summer is almost sold out. You can find good seats from scalpers at the venues though. They play in July at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin 2 nights. I'll be at both and it should be awesome. He's starting to break away from this average new album a little bit. Last year at Alpine he played Superfreak after Rick James died so this show should be good.
July 4, 200520 yr Looks like Sigur Ros tickets for Chicago will go onsale two weeks from now, most likely 7/16 sometime. New album due out in September.
July 5, 200520 yr Anyone else going to Lolla in a few weeks? At first I was really excited, now I'm not sure I can make a commitment of two full days.

Some good bands playing, and lots of bands I just don't want to hear, I thought about it, but now I'm not so sure, how expensive are tickets?
