Jenny Lewis
 Wire
 Aggrolites
 World Inferno Friendship Society
 Henry Rollins
 Bad Brains
 
 October/November looks great.

yeah bad brains is gonna be epic acually nov 4

[Darth Ed]

I do think there's been a slight drop off. October/November is usually my busiest time of the year for concert-going, and the pickings have been a little slim compared to past years. Or maybe I'm just getting old. But here's what I have planned so far:
 
 Nick Cave (x2)
 The Rosebuds
 Hotel Cafe Tour (I've fallen in love with Thao Nguyen!)
 The Decemberists
 Robyn Hitchcock
 
 Speaking of Jenny Lewis, I could really use a ticket for her show if anyone has an extra. I was out of town when they went on sale. Would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I wouldn't count on that.  BB have been known for erratic and underwhelming live shows for a long time.
 
 That said, I might go.  Some old pals from richmond might come up for this so i may go for the hang.  But don't count on a frantic set from the bad brains.
 
 just hope hr stays on stage and doesn't make a mockery of the songs and audience.
 
 hopefully the fact that this is on election night will bring something to the table as far as the show is concerned.  on second thought, maybe I'll just stay home and watch the returns.

well ac dc ain't chopped liver....
 
 i agree shows have slowed down
 
 still i've got
 
 cave, acdc (two shows), robert pollard (maybe), the wailers, tina turner, magnetic fields (may sell the tickets), black crowes

 Guess some of you are getting old (except for Rhett who we all know has been there for years now).

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Out of all of the shows mentioned so far, only two are of any interest to me.
 
 Fleet Foxes, which is sold o ut.
 
 Of Montreal. I might want to see them, but too often the singer sounds like Alvin from the Chipmunks.

[azaghal1981]

Of Montreal have left me bitter both times I've seen them.
 
 Never again...
 
 
 They're putting more and more of an emphasis on the theatrical aspect of their show and less on actually playing the music. They've been relying more and more on backing tracks and don't sound like a tight live band at all because Kevin spends half his time up there playing dressup.
 
 It's the studio stuff for me from here on out.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Thanks for that review. You just saved me $18. Perhaps I'll look around for another show to see instead, while sitting at home listening to Satanic Panic.
