I'm kicking things off in style:



Al's first shows back since the tendonitis issue a few months back. It's going to be an epic weekend.

In other news, Langerado announced their lineup for this year, it's downright sick.

I'm going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra on December 30th. I need to find someone to go with me though... Bah.

I should be getting to go see the Chemical Brothers next month. Haven't been at any gigs for ages.

Seeing Roger Waters do Dark Side of the Moon in early February. It should be one hell of a show. Might see Tenacious D if I can still get tickets.

moe. was killer. Richard Nielsen from Cheap Trick sat in for the end of the first set on Friday...they played Surrender, the Beatles' Day Tripper, and an epic meat.

Next stop, Denver.

I saw Joanna Newsom last Friday but she cut her set short because she got pissed for some reason.

I was gonna see Lichens and Sapat but the headliner on the bill (Bonnie "Prince" Billy) sold all the tickets.

I'm seeing Dead Child and Lords this weekend.

IT'S ON, BITCHES.

Aye, seeya and Entendu there buddy.

mini-error meet! It's gonna be epic.

I just bought my plane ticket, too. $163 total for a round trip ticket. That's a damn steal. This shit is so on.

The Fall Out Boy/New Found Glory/Lifetime tour isn't coming here. If it's coming to your town I'd advise going however.

Holy hell, almost cheaper than driving

Oh man. Prepare to shit yourself. I saw that in August and it was seriously one of the greatest shows (if not the greatest) I've ever been to. I had high expectations for it, but Roger Waters even surpassed those.


In the past few months I've gone to see Roger Waters and Del tha Funkee Homosapien/A-Plus. They were both pretty kick ass shows. On the 18th, I'm going to see GZA since he's having a free 18+ show in Baltimore.

M I RITE?

CUZ WHEN U C IT YOULL TURN 360DEGREES AND WALK AWAY!!1!

going to see explosions in the sky 2 april 2007 at the granada in dallas

I'm debating on whether or not I should go see them in Brooklyn in Feb. I'm sure I will end up going but a year ago or so when I decided they would never tour I also decided I only like How Strange, Innocence and that the rest of their stuff was pretty overrated.

They're playing Langerado. If I make it down there (which looks likely) I'm setting aside the time to check them out. I've heard great stuff about them.

That place seats around 800 people. It's gonna be like the old days, I can't wait.

West Coast Errors, this looks like a fucking BASH. Too bad I won't be anywhere near there.

I think moe. is playing NYC on New Year's Eve as well as Murphy's Law, but that's really no surprise.

Yeah, they're playing Radio City. I was originally planning on going, I was going to stay with family on LI, but the idea of navigating Manhattan by myself on New Year's Eve is frightening, so I opted to go to Denver at the end of January instead. (I'd rather see them at the Fillmore than RCMH anyway) And thanks to that announcement today, I get to see them locally that Wednesday, also. (I'm going to have so many copies of the Conch I won't know what to do with myself, lol. I already pre-ordered my copy, and I'm getting one both in Denver and Chicago. ) My New Years is going to be Umphrey's McGee and North Mississippi Allstars in Chicago on the 29th, then my old boss has me on the VIP list for a Local H show here in my suburb on NYE proper. I don't even like Local H, it's just nice to be on a list and be able to get tanked and stumble home if need be.

This announcement also set my mind at ease about missing NYE:


So I'll still have a high quality copy of the show to blast at high volumes, and I won't have to mess with the NYE Manhattan crowd.

I don't plan on being anywhere near Manhattan that night, I just remembered seeing their name somewhere for a show then.

Here's my personal list of people i NEED to see in the future.

Moe. (Don't REALLY need to, but I want to and I know the show will be great)
Les Claypool/Primus would be nice
Of Montreal
A Post-rock gig
Streetlight Manifesto (again)
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

And I need to hit up a music festival sometime, wink wink.

Everyone else make a list plz

Tom Petty
Jeff Beck
Neil Young
Ratdog
Widespread Panic
Leonard Cohen
Les Claypool and His Fancy Band
Particle

and wink wink, the shit's totally going down.

U R RITE


There were more people smoking pot there then at any other concert I've been to. Literally everyone around us was smoking. I took 75 mg of morphine and smoked two blunts while we were there. I almost blacked out at one point though, which wasn't cool.

I'm seeing Ayin on the 30th with... well, I don't know who's opening for them yet. >_>

Some pictures that I didn't take from the Thanksgiving run to get those going to Denver stoked.

Yay? Haha, looks kind of interesting actually. Visually appealing I suppose.

You'll be a moe. fan by the time the show is over. I'll put money on it.

The Fillmore does a half-assed security check too, right Entendu? I went to a show there once and they did a weak torso frisk and that was it.

EDIT: Logik talk to me on MSN tonight.

I saw Jack Rose and Peter Walker last night and there probably only 40 people at the show, 10 of which were Peter Walker's family.
The two of them are incredible. Jack Rose is the best guitarist I've ever seen live, I almost teared up during his set. Peter Walker is in his mid-60s I think and he's still playing like a virtuoso, bless him. He told stories of when he was studying in Spain and was almost killed by gypsies and he smiled throughout the whole set and you could tell he was so passionate about what he was playing. He got almost a 5 minute standing ovation/applause deal at the end. I'm really glad I didn't miss that.

How cool would this be?

Fuckin' A, 2007 is looking good already for "bigger" acts.
Isis/Jesu/Torche in March.
Explosions In The Sky/Eluvium in March.
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE in April. So excited they're back so soon since I missed them in September. I can't remember the last time I was so upset about missing a show.

This is sort of on-topic... Anyone know a link to something where I could plug in a zip code/city and it'll tell me all the upcoming shows?

3 Inches of Blood/Zeke on the 29th. I've been waiting to see 3IOB for so long.

Might go see God Forbid/Goatwhore/Mnemic/Arsis in January too.

http://www.jambase.com is where I usually go. Their in-house content is driven more towards the jam scene, but they do a pretty good job of listing shows from most genres. I'm on their mailer, too, so I get notifications of upcoming shows without having to go to the site.

I hope Neurosis gets off their ass and comes to the east coast.

I guess I'm gonna go to Destruction/Sadus/Municipal Waste on Feb. 6th. Mostly for MW, but Destruction's a classic. Sadus' 2006 offering was awful, though

MAYBE Umphrey's McGee and North Mississippi Allstars tonight. It's a big MAYBE though, it rests on a number of factors outside of my control.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD TONIGHTTTTT

ENEMIES OF METAL, YOUR DEATH IS A REWARDDDDD

So the show was interesting.

The first band was some metalcore band I barely remember it just went downhill from there. The second band, Book of Black Earth was some awful attempt at a black metal band. Absolutely pathetic.

The third band, Zeke was probably the worst band I've ever seen live in my life. They tried to be some Bad Brains-esque speed punk band but just came off as some redneck Tasmanian Devil buttrock. Not to mention their last song was about 15 minutes long and they ended it about 5 times, only to start it over again. And the lead singer didn't even know what songs they were playing.

3 Inches of Blood was excellent and made it worth the money. They're funny as hell and they put on a really fun set. The crowd was retarded, full of weirdos in overalls and stupid little scene kids, but at least I got to see one good band.

Just got back from Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It ruled. Don't know what else to say really, the light show, the vocals and the music were spectacular. I have to go again next year.

moe. just sold out their Chicago show. Good thing I picked up two extras. Maybe I can pay for my tickets.

just got back from of montreal with a hawk and a hacksaw.


fucking excellent show, rocked hardddddd

WTF, A Hawk and a Hacksaw opening for Of Montreal? When I saw them the Minders opened and they were the worst opening band in the history of ever. Lucky you.

Also: I'm seeing Russian Circles, Young Widows, Wolverine Brass and two other bands on Saturday. Can't wait.

RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS
EMERY
SCARY KIDS SCARING KIDS
A STATIC LULLABY
KADDISFLY

March 23rd. I can't wait.

Just got back from moe. in Denver with Logik and Entendu. Good show, good times.

No one got pictures though, we were all lazy.

hahaha, go see them whenever they come to wherever you are



Yeah, this was my first time to hear AHAAH. They were fucking awesome.



there, we're even.
