have to prioritize with the concerts this year. cant keep going to every show that pops up. its too damn expensive. especially if the show is 2 hrs or more away, then i would rather stay in a hotel than drive home, and that just ends up costing even more money. dammit i need to win the lotto. and all this talk about alpine is getting depressing. please dont be alpine. this is not going to be anything like we had initially imagined. i would much rather have the band play some fan club only shows than play one venue, 2 nights in a row, in an inconvenient location. Just come to Boston, or Hartford. Play 2 nights at the XL center or, play 3 nights at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston - fan club only. Then you can proceed to tour the rest of the world. Fan Club only. You want to celebrate 20 years? Do it right. Do it with and for the fans. Instead, the whole freakin world is going to be heading to one location for two days. Half of those people already jumped the gun and booked the nearby hotels for two different dates, in the chance that it is the last weekend in August, or Labor Day weekend. Ok. done crying.
In other news...
The Strokes will be planning some US dates in June.
I'm not going to PJ weekend. Don't have the money for it.
5 nights at the XL would awesome; do what they couldn't do at Philly and play everything they know in those 5 nights.
I'm hoping for a Strokes date in CT. And Foo Fighters.

What the hell happened to Lupo's (in Providence, RI)??
Used to be one of my favorite small clubs to see great shows at. Was just talking about it last night. It used to be great during the colder months to get me thru to the summer. I saw KOL there in their heyday, QOTSA, Toadies, Modest Mouse, Mos Def, Talib Qweli, Common. So many good shows. Havent seen one even remotely decent artist go there since Wilco last year. What the hell Lupos? What the hell? Im hoping the Strokes go there when they schedule their dates. Freakin love that venue. Another band that should go there is Them Crooked Vultures.
Whats everyone else got lined up so far this year for shows?? Its early still, I know, but lots of announcements coming out slowly but surely. Nothing yet for me, tho, i get the feeling that this last ever LCD Soundsytem show at MSG may have its pull over my significant other.
Why cant everyone just get their shit scheduled for the summer, by a predetermined date - say, mid-February, that way, there are no surprises and we can just plan accordingly. Pick and choose...no surprises...know whats coming..... What usually happens to me, is we jump on all the good shows as they come up, thinking that it will be a slow year, then, come June, we get a shit ton of other announcements, that we cannot possibly pass up, ultimately draining the bank on another summer of badass concerts.
Nobody ever told me music was such an expensive addiction. I think I need help.
And...to top it all off....THERE ARE STILL POSTERS TO BE FRAMED :evil:

TT, make sure you and the other half sock away a couple bucks for MMJ this summer, too...
we are in the process of making a short list of "must see if tour happens in 2011"
No doubt, MMJ is on that list
So far, the list is:
PJ
MMJ
QOTSA/TCV aka "the Josh Homme projects"
Radiohead
Tool
The Strokes
Fleet Foxes (may be one of the small $30 or less club shows but on the list just in case)
Wilco
I think Im missing something :? :?: .... I also think the list is getting longer the more time it takes for me to actually pen the official list.
Also, as stated previously, I forsee LCD Soundsystem sneaking their way onto the list as they are playing one and only one last show.
And, we have agreed that small club shows of $30 or less do not need to be on the pre-approved list to be considered.

have to prioritize with the concerts this year. cant keep going to every show that pops up. its too damn expensive. especially if the show is 2 hrs or more away, then i would rather stay in a hotel than drive home, and that just ends up costing even more money. dammit i need to win the lotto. and all this talk about alpine is getting depressing. please dont be alpine. this is not going to be anything like we had initially imagined. i would much rather have the band play some fan club only shows than play one venue, 2 nights in a row, in an inconvenient location. Just come to Boston, or Hartford. Play 2 nights at the XL center or, play 3 nights at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston - fan club only. Then you can proceed to tour the rest of the world. Fan Club only. You want to celebrate 20 years? Do it right. Do it with and for the fans. Instead, the whole freakin world is going to be heading to one location for two days. Half of those people already jumped the gun and booked the nearby hotels for two different dates, in the chance that it is the last weekend in August, or Labor Day weekend. Ok. done crying.

Not my first guess as an artist you'd listen too but she's good. I tend to have different artists/bands for different reasons....some are just to sing my bloody head off in the car and let loose! I even have Abba going at times and that is sad! Today was Backspacer...it's been a while
