“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    To all three of you, you HAVE to see The Shins. One of the most fun and enjoyable gigs I have ever been to. It was even worth standing in the scorching sun, getting dehydrated and having some fat guy rubbing his sweaty armpit in my face to see Caring is creepy live :D

    You'd think I'd have seen them live. They're from my town. But everytime they play a show, tickets are gone before I even know about it :(. Although I did see them at the My Morning Jacket show hanging out in the bar drinking. :)

    shins are good live. I've seen them twice.

    I was most impressed at the ladies at the concert. They by far have the hottest girls at any show i've been to. Just making an observation.

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    that is unfortunate timing....if your sis really loves you, postponing her wedding is the least she can do for ya ;)

    ....you MUST see Arcade Fire in concert if you get a chance - by FAR the greatest live band I have ever seen....I've been to hundreds of shows and none have even come close

    thought of a few more for my must see list:

    MY BLOODY VALENTINE
    TV On The Radio
    Destroyer
    Iron & Wine
    the Magnetic Fields
    Mojave 3

    I can only think of a few:

    The Arcade Fire
    Bright Eyes
    Rage Against The Machine
    Band Of Horses

    I feel personally very lucky to have seen quite a few of the bands people haven't seen yet.
