The funny thing is that I can't remember what I did for my birthday that summer. Like, the way you said it might really have been the way things went down.

[QUOTE=JonM]Dude Iron & Wine/Calexico this Friday.[/QUOTE]

Oh god, I wish I were seeing that.

:mad:



edit: on a side note, I found out that when someone gets hanged, they crap and ejaculate their pants as a result.

Seeing Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra tonight.

:cool:

I've never been to the Glass House, how is it?

EDIT: I've always assumed it was really far from me, but it's only about a half hour drive on a good day (according to Mapquest). I should start going there, they have some good groups come through once in a while.[/QUOTE]
Its a good venue. I think Sonic Youth played there a few times, good groups play there alot.

Recent/Upcoming gigs:

Last week - Wild Billy Childish & the Buff Medways

This Week - The Kills

Save our college radio station. We may just play top 40 Alt/Pop (Kelly Clarkson, Nickelback, Seether, etc) but we used to have specialty shows where individuals could select the music. This was the only good quality about our station - and now they're trying to take it away.

Please sign it, we need many, many signatures. It would be most appreciated.

Cool Stuff.

I've just got Common near the end of the month, possibly Bear vs Shark supporting Limbeck/The Honorary Title (possibly because I don't really like those headliners) and maybe Tiger Army in February, and Every Time I Die/BTBAM/Bleeding Through in April.


Cave In is playing here tonight, I haven't heard them, only heard of them. Are they any good?

I wanna see Tiger Army. :(

Niiiice.

I've got nothing coming up as far as gigs go.

Yesterday was hawwwt. I went to go see So Many Dynamos, which were a-m-a-zing and another local band called the Arch, who were fronted by a 30-something yr old, chubby man with a combover who also played the trumpet. They played this sweet cover of Domo Ariogato, and had maybe a 5-song set, the last song being around 30 minutes long. I was somewhat crunk'd at this point on rum and cranberry juice and blackberry merlot, and decided to drink more so I could be even more crunk'd for So Many Dynamos, and was a f[font=verdana]ucking[/font] freak on the dance floor. Afterwards, we did some hanging out with the bands and went home. Good times.

I finished all my Christmas shopping today. I feel good.

I have no obligation to buy gifts. I feel good.

So Many Dynamos are good.
I don't really buy Christmas presents, I buy birthday presents.

I just buy Christmas presents for my two brothers. I'm a music jerk now so I am going to buy them CDs of bands they are unfamiliar with but I will assert that they like :evil:

I don't like Star Wars.

From the gig discussion earlier...

Gigs I will be missing in the near future:

The Kills
Les Savy Fav
Broken Social Scene
Behemoth
A number of Tapey's gigs
The Shins
Deerhoof


ghey

My friend's birthday party was real nice last night. She is the most innocent person I know, so seeing her drink alcohol was probably the wierdest thing I've seen all year.

I played some ska today. 6 of us, three of which are named "Ben" got together and basically jammed in the key of G for two hours. I played trumpet, of course.

It actualy wasn't bad.

Neat.

I decided to just go back to what I've always done best, experimental crap, and I started a band with other bassist and a drummer. I think we'll just keep it with two bassists and drummer and just make our song really short with alot of extra noise-odd crap mixed in.

I really REALLY want to see BSS and Sigur Ros.
Sigur Ros are expanding from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this year, to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth next year.
Why did they decide to go to Perth and miss Adelaide? And why are BSS missing Adelaide too? Everyone always misses Adelaide, all the time. I want to see bands I actually like, dammit.

Same here. The only difference is that I actually will be able to see bands I like in about 10 months. I'm going to Blues and Roots to see Sigur Ros, unless their Brisbane show turns out to be all ages, which it won't.

EDIT: I just [I]might[/I] be able to see Antony and the Johnsons. That would be great.

Ahh, Chinese buffet night:smoke:

So Many Dynamos [i]are[/i] good. They are really good friends with some of my friends, whatevz, so we chilled out with Norm (the drummer) and talked to Aaron and Nathan for awhile after the show and Griffin stayed at a friend's house with us. I feel like I know famous people.

[QUOTE=no peros calentes]I don't like Star Wars.[/QUOTE]

Seriously, how do you not like Star Wars? It's an awesome action/adventure story.

[QUOTE=Happymeal]Ahh, Chinese buffet night:smoke:[/QUOTE]

Oh man. There's a Chinese buffet a little ways away from my house, and it's awesome. For, like, eight bucks, you get an evening of awesome food.

np: Sufjan Stevens - The Black Hawk War

They're pretty famous if I like them, seeing as I live in Australia.

Since I don't have enough money for presents, I'm writing some of my friends songs for Christmas.

Ahh I just had like an eargasm or something while listening to On Fire by Lightning Bolt.

Why aren't you on watch in the pit miss pit mod?

A spam thread slipped through your mod grasp for about an hour, and I had to give Relmar and Noonward Race 2 weeks each for spam.

Holy crap. I totally remember it. With the going back in time song with the pocket watch.

[QUOTE=morrissey]Living in a major city is awesome.[/QUOTE]

Living one hour from a major city is awesome because the excitement of wherever we go builds on the way there and on the way home we get to excitedly discuss what we did.

But it's not very often :(

Hey I just closed a thread, plus I knew the answer.
