I'm going wine tasting on Saturday which will force me to miss the Dropkick Murphy's, and then smackette graduates from Medical School.

if only there was a day that could combine wine tasting and the dropkick murphys, instead of having to choose one over the other. . .lo, what a day that would be.

Swell Season - Mon @ Radio City

[HoyaSaxa03]

i found my ticket for tonight ... everyone can call off their searches ... thank you, all of you, for all of your hard work and effort, i'll never forget it

[sweetcell]

work needs me on site tomorrow, i'm now in DC tonight.  so i'm back to cut copy vs. sword.  seriously leaning towards cut copy... i'm more in the mood for dancing than headbanging, and BC is closer/more convenient that RnR.  don't have a ticket tho.  
 
 anyone got an extra cut copy ticket?
 
 my sword/torch is still up for grabs, if anyone wants to come get it in friendship heights.

Cut Copy is gonna be a blast. Saw them open for Simian Mobile Disco last April. What a bill. They were very, very impressive!

several websites (including last.fm) seem to believe it's at 405 W Franklin St.  never been there myself.

cut copy tore the house down, i haven't seen a crowd move like that at black cat maybe ever ... full 4-piece band, i wasn't expecting that, made it feel like a new order show in a small club ... really short set though, around 50 mins with encore
 
 black kids disappointed a bit, but they have such high expectations, i kind of feel bad for them for how high the bar is that they have to jump over ... they were mixed really poorly for much of their set ... i'd say 3-4 songs sounded really good, the other 4-5 were pretty weak
 
 the last two songs that i caught from mobius band sounded great, their drummer really killed it

[HoyaSaxa03]

oh, and that was the most self-consciously hipster crowd i've ever seen in DC ... i don't mean "i'm wearing a black t-shirt" hipster, i mean like painstakingly put-together day-glo outfits and 80s getups, like something you'd seen in williamsburg 4 years ago

[Vas Deferens]

Black Kids annoyed me. Dumb lyrics, too. "listen to your body tonight it's gonna treat you right". "i'm a limousine". WTF??!
 
 Mobius Band were great! Cut Copy ruled. And I didn't mind that they used backing tracks to most songs.

[Driveway]

Local H tonight.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Why, were they playing their ipods too loud on the Metro? Or throwing their KFC wrappers down on the ground?

The Swell Season in Baltimore Saturday. I've managed to get about 6 tickets for this show. 4 of them are floor seats, so I have at least 2 floor seats remaining.
 
 If anyone is interested in wanting to see them for free (I'm not charging for the tickets. It's a karma thing, plus my birthday is on Monday and it's a nice thing to do~) you can email me at poetneko@mac.com. Not sure what the 3rd set of seats will be, except super cheap ie: free (as the normal seats are $45, the ones we purchased before I managed to win several). Otherwise we're going up to the balcony and upgrading some people in bad seats to the floor
 
 I can't fucking wait.
