Back Tomorrow
Totally swamped at work right now and most of my RSS feeds are in or approaching triple digits, so...
Whew. At first I thought I might have to go see Coldplay, but it turns out, I don't. Again, whew.
The 100 Most Disappointing Albums.
Coolfer has a guest blogger. Great Idea.
First draft of the Judith Miller retirement memo.
Oneloudernyc tries to get all informationleafblower in NYC by seeing a band from the UK three times in one week. Dude, copy me much? I'm kidding of course. Nothing is better than seeing a band you like multiple times in one week. I guess I need to check me out some Art Brut!
Buy some Graham Coxon artwork.
Queen at Live Aid. Best. gig. ever. Except for the Super Furries at Hoboken on the MWNG tour, or Radiohead at Irving Plaza after the Tibetan Freedom Concert in NYC.
I'm going to see some band called Okkervil Tributary or something like that tonight. I hear they're good. I forgot to mention that I finally caught Caribou (pronounced by Gruff as "Kerryboo") in Carrboro and they were so much awesome. Like a Canadian Mogwai. So good. I'm going to try and peep them in Chi-town this weekend. The band are all nice blokes as well.
Caribou (formerly Manitoba) is great. I picked up their tour-only CD at their NYC show. Very good stuff, worth the $10 price tag. Their live shows always please.
If you dig the Okkervil album, pick up the Appendix EP they're selling at the show. I listened to it about 15 times over the weekend. Only 5 full songs on it, but they are as good, if not better than anything off the full length.
Okkervil River. They're from here. And they are good, most times. Also, your link for the 100 most disappointing albums points to the Coldplay thing.
i *heart* okkervil--heard they are excellent live as well.
I think yr link to the 100 most disappointing albums is mislinked.
I've been wanting to see Caribou live! Glad to hear they put on a good show.
