i just saw that white magic and the magik markers are opening for sonic youth. i wonder what happened to wolf eyes? white magic were ok when i saw them last year, but i've heard they've improved. magik markers were so noisy and discordant when i saw them last year that even i wasn't that into it. i like their energy and approach, but the lack of musicality, in this instance, is glaring. still, it will be fun to see them on the 930 stage.

They were pretty great when they opened for !!!.  Man, Mira's voice can send chills down your spine.  I enjoyed their set much more than I ever dug Quix*o*tic.

Is Mira the drummer for Quix*o*tic?  The only song I ever really liked by them was one she sang on with Christina.

yes, mira was the drummer, and i agree that quix*o*tic's best song was the one she sang. that's basically what white magic sounds like. i don't think they were that good when i saw them because it was one of their first gigs and they seemed sloppy and unsure of themselves. nothing wrong with that, unless you stay sloppy and unsure of yourself after being around for five years.

is the new one much better than the first one which I could never get in to?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

They are pretty comparable in quality and style. Probably if you didn't care for the first one, the second won't grab you either. But hard to say with certainty of course.
 
 We might consider going. Seen them twice, once seated, and once standing, and they're defintely one of those bands its better to be seated for.

Ooooh, good job by Death Cab for Cutie in snaring some UK dates with Blink 184.
 
 Death Cab for Cutie will be playing a few festivals this summer
 (including the "Bite of Oregon" with They Might Be Giants and
 Pedro the Lion, the Q101-sponsored "Chicago's Alternative" event
 with Modest Mouse and the Walkmen, and a Pixies show in September
 in Bend, OR).  They'll also be playing a few dates with Blink-182
 in the UK in the late fall.
