Tuesday: Drag queen bingo @ Nellies.

Haha, drag queen bingo. I love the episode of S&TC where the girls play Drag Queen Bingo and the guy Samantha used to date is there and his drag name is Samantha. Old Dogs, New Dicks, I think.

Thursday - Spoon in Philly
Friday - Hot Chip
Saturday - Nada Surf
Sunday - Brunch at Beacon Bar & Grill (Unlimited mimosas, say what!?!)

Damn fine performances from both No Kids and Dirty Projectors.

No Kids = *yawn*

Dirty Projectors = will rank as one of the best this year.

I thought No Kids was definitely slow but very pleasant.

hot chip!!

No kids is definitely slower than kids. No kids ia also very pleasant, but kids is ultimately more rewarding.

Does anyone else prefer the sound in the backstage to that of the mainstage?


I think I do.

That was indeed a good one.


Julian's raccoo-oo-oon cover band post was funnier, though.

so i just got back from the Superdrag in-store at soundgarden. sounded really good. not mind blowing like Portishead, but they were tight and played 6 songs. should be a good show tonight.

Portishead did an in-store at Soundgarden? Must have missed that one in the email.

Has anyone read or heard about the Joe Jackson tour? I've seen him so many times….though I know if I go, I'll leave saying, "That Joe is so great." His new album got mediocre reviews, though. Just wondering.

Thx

According to his website he's touring as a trio this time. Piano/drums/bass. Listening to the new disc now. It reminds me a bit of Night and Day II. I like it. Typical Joe. Piano-heavy, kind of jazzy.

C'mon Bags - You know you wanna go. :)

How were Yeasayer / Ponytail? Did Ponytail steal the show ?

Both were pretty good. I love the high energy that Ponytail always bring. Yeasayer played a solid yet fairly short set. They played quite a few songs that aren't on the album as well as Sunrise, Wait for the Summer, Wait for the Wintertime, 2080, No Need to worry and Forgiveness. Live, they have so many sonic similarities to Animal Collective.
