Congratulations!  Future music lovers and perhaps brew masters.

Smackie was already put in timeout for his comments over Sweetcell's email announcement, so I will refrain from further comment in this thread.

Congrats! But please, give them individual names. Don't alliterate them like my parents did for me and my twin brother, bitesnotbytes.
New Order's presale is tomorrow - can anyone snag me a pair of GA pit tickets? I won't be near a computer until late :( you'll be paid back immediately!
Wow congrats Sweetcell! Have not been in here for a little while.

kosmo's reply was pretty damn awesome, but beets gets my vote for POTW.

alliterations have already been banned, FYI.

(betao - sending you a PM)
Congrats!  Having been down that road for 11+years, I gotta say strap yourself in.  You're in for a wild ride  :)
Congrats!  Twins!  Holy crap!

Rancid at The Fillmore on June 19th… I was just posting about this band with someone on here recently. I haven't seen them since the mid 90's but I'll be hitting this up.

I think I might try and take my son to this…Operation Ivy is his favorite and he's been digging Rancid lately too.

Did I miss this?

The Roots, the legendary, Grammy Award-winning hip hop band, will celebrate their 25th anniversary with a special concert on Saturday, June 15th at Kastles
Stadium at The Wharf. The showcase event ? DC Jazz Festival and Events DC Present: The Roots in Concert ? will be held during the 2013 DC Jazz Festival and
feature opening act Snarky Puppy.


P.S. Snarky Puppy is kind of an amazing band name.



Atomicfront and walky, please bring your bullet proof vests.
Good question…wife will be working from 10-6:30, getting home after 7:30, so I wouldn't get to the concert until 9ish.

ROOMRUNNER, PURE JUNK, PEALS and SMALL SUR

Joe, this would be a good show to get Double Dagger records signed.
Would be as good a show for that as it gets. Still yet to catch Pure Junk. Need to scratch Man…Or Astro-Man? off the bucket list once and for all, though.
Are the guys from Double Dagger in roomrunner?  Love roomrunner, but was not impressed with Double Dagger.  Maybe it's just because I was waiting for Shellac…
Denny was the Double Dagger drummer.  He is now the singer and one of the guitarists in Roomrunner.

The Double Dagger singer is in Pure Junk.

Peals features the Double Dagger bass player (along with the bass player from Future Islands) not playing bass.

I can see how you could prefer one to the other. Roomrunner is a lot more accessible.   
I feel like 35% of all posts made in the last 6 months have mentioned Roomrunner.
I am just glad bands are playing real guitar rock again.  I"m over the spacy Beach House crap.
