YOU GOT THE PRESALE! 

so worth it.

apparently there were people that paid twice what i did for the same ticket off some other website where the ticket is electronic and on a debit card of sorts. i was baffled when they showed it to me.

yea pretty stoked. i think i paid like 4 or 5 dollars more with the presale than if i woulda gone with the local dealymo (xchange rate and stuff) but it's fucking radiohead and a guarantee for tix so it IS so worth it.

i unfortunately had to miss saul due to work. pity.

I saw Soundgarden about a month ago and they were actually really good.

saw Rammstein last night.

the pyrotechnics were amazing.
at one point the singer wore large angel wings that had flame throwers at the tips.
there was also alot of confetti, s&m undertone, a dick cannon that blasted foam on the audience,
and again, SO MUCH FIRE.

really an amazing show. one of the best i've ever been to.

[TPD]

i keep hearing that about rammstein. hmm.

so stoked that i got fiona apple tickets. also will be getting a uterus to celebrate such a feat in gheyness.

The black keys show last night was excellent, even B really enjoyed it

Did Arctic Monkeys open for them?  If so, how were they?

[luna]

meh not really my thing, they played for almost an hour though! I think their sound would be more suited to a smaller venue.

Going to see Garbage tonight. I haven't seen them live since the late 90s, I'm curious to hear how they sound. It's a small (just under 1000) venue, so it's the perfect setting.

[luna]

Nice!

[Stariki]

Yeah Wow! Kristin... how were the new album songs?

[TPD]

[doom]

did other lives open?

[TPD]

nah. caribou! real good band from manitoba.
show was great. played more mellow tracks than they apparently did in jersey (and that jersey setlist looked sick)... but the show still kicked massive amounts of ass.

unfortunately their drum tech got crushed to death in toronto preppin for show the next day.
which made that show the night before all the more poignant and sad.
real bummer. rough way for anyone to go. especially when everyone in the band and and crew seemed to really enjoy the hell out of what they were doing.
major bummer.




fiona apple up next on july 3rd.

Amon Tobin is going on tour again. And there is a show in Seattle. I want to go. THEN I looked at ticket prices. 224.50? For one fucking ticket? I mean I really like him. But not for that much... It does come with a box set. However there isn't an option to not get the box set and just go to the show... Fucking suck.


However, Mono just put out tour dates. Maybe I could see them live.

Morrissey coming to Iowa in October, playing at the venue famous for hosting Buddy Holly's last concert.  May try to go, not sure.
