Tonight!

Tonight I’ll be going to see one of my favorite bands on the planet, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Any band with an ellipsis in their name is A-OK with me since we all know how much I love my ellipsis’s…Somehow I only saw them once on their last tour (I’m still kicking myself for not ponying up the cash to see them open for the Queens of the Stone Age) so it’s been a good 18 months or so since I’ve seen them last. Somehow I always manage to run into Conrad Keely after their gigs (at least I have on each of the three previous times I have seen the band) and he generally chats with me for a few seconds and then grabs the nearest girl and starts chatting her up. And for the record, I’m not knocking him, if I was in a shit hot band, I’d much rather talk to cute females after the gig than dorky old me any day.

Jen Daily Refill has two songs from their upcoming record, entitled Worlds Apart, available for download. They are…different to say the least. Whenever I listen to “Track 4”, I can’t decide if I’m like “Piano?” or if I’m like “Piano!”, so we’ll see. Unfortunately my friends are a bunch of punk ass bitches (I’m kidding, that’s not true) so I’ll be flying solo tonight. Expect a full report with pics tomorrow.

Here was the setlist from two nights ago in Connecticut:
Overture / Will You Smile Again / It Was There That I Saw You / Another Morning Stoner / Homage / Rest Will Follow / Caterwaul / Mistakes and Regrets / Aged Dolls / A Perfect Teenhood / Gargoyle Waiting / Richter Scale Madness / Totally Natural

Last weekend when I was unpacking some of my CD’s, I ran across Madonna and put that on for the first time in ages. For some reason, I didn’t have that loaded into my iTunes. Mistakes and Regrets is easily one of my top 20 songs of all time (and probably should have been on The Best Mix CD Ever, Volume Two) and I hope they play it tonight. I want to rock out and get really sweaty. And dammit, I want some destruction at the end of the set!!
