care to share which shows those will be?  we might end up in the same room at some point... either we'll annihilate each other in a flash of blinding light, a la matter/anti-matter; or i'll have an opportunity to buy you that beer i owe you from the bet you won a while back.  i forget what the bet was (was it about how fast lily allen sold out the club?), but i remember that i owe you a beer of your choosing.

Swap out Bishop Allen for Drive-by Truckers (DBT is playing two shows, but Charlie will only go to one because two would be piggish).

Here's the only show I'm going to this month. Anybody else going?
 
 It's difficult to convey how enjoyable a Robbie Fulks live show is. When you're telling someone about it, you don't know what to focus on. There's his sharp sense of humor. There's the way you find yourself saying, "Wait a minute, that's a Cher song!" (or Abba, or Michael Jackson, or . . .). Then again, there's the way Fulks and his band play such twangy, heartbreakingly real country music. It could make the most hard-core country purist cry. He can rock out on occasion, too. See him at Jammin' Java Saturday.

I hope the fab miss p. doesn't mind a little expansion to her thread..
 
 anyways so far i'm in for the hives (just got back) and seeing Alice Smith at the BC later today.
 
 No filling of any buzzword bingo cards based on my Hives review... This band just makes me happy and occasionally twitch my body rhythmically to the beat.  Always a fun show when the crowd is there to  just have a good time... Could have done without the  Donnas...

Get yer bingo cards out...
 
 Was really looking forward to finally seeing Alice Smith, but for the first time felt that the sound there and crowd truly ruined a show there for me.  As long as Alice was singing in the bottom of her range the sound was adequate, but the upper range was turned thin and tinny sounding, even the bottom end of her bands sounded muddier.  And the crowd was unbelievably chatty through the show even during the  songs.  Was diggin' the funked up versions of the songs along with a couple choice covers including The Prentenders "Don't Get Me Wrong"
 
 Kosmette had a blast at the Pogues save for the drunken frat boy assholes and  a couple tall people...
