    GO!!!


    I want to! But I got 4 hours of sleep last night (I went to bed at 5 am, tongue.gif) and I was planning on taking a nap when I got back from class at 2...except I didn't....so now I'm really tired. Maybe I'll go take one now and decide if I'm going at dinner, 'cause Lorna will be there and I know Lorna is going...

    Also, this requires me spending more $ that I don't have. And I really want a "Save Ginny!" t-shirt, too....

  • I know, it's so cool that Sam & Matt are playing together!! Plus my mom sort of knows Matt. They set off firecrackers in the parking lot together after one of his shows last year.

    That's a pretty nifty list.

    Umm, my list keeps changing. Here's what it looks like right now (again...'cause I feel like posting it again...)

    5/7- Dashboard in Amherst
    5/15- Goldfrapp in NYC
    5/18- Lansdowne Block Party in Boston
    5/26- Scamper in Cambridge
    6/14- WAS in NYC
    6/25- OK Go in VA

    All of these are really tentative, though. Like, it really depends on a lot of stuff and whether or not I have the dollars to get to these places and/or buy tickets. Oh, and Harry and the Potters are playing downtown tonight, and I have yet to decide if I'm going...

    If I were you, I'd do to OK Go and Bloc Party, the rest I've never heard of.

    Errr, I would, except now my parents are being REALLY MEAN and saying I can't go (even though I'm like, 20, and fully capable of driving to visit Carin by myself...) because I fly to Hawai'i two days after.

    Revised list:

    5/13- Harry and the Potters in NJ, if I get home in time
    5/26- Scamper in Cambridge (GOING IF I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR AND RUN. Also, I should probably let them know I'm coming so I can be guestlisted, muahahaha....)
    6/9- Gogol Bordello in NYC (or my roomie will beat me)
    6/16- Scamper in Boston (maybe again)
    6/25- OK Go in VA (maybe but probably not)
    6/30- WAS in NYC
    8/3- The New Pornographers in NYC, but probably not again, 'cause it's my Dad's birthday.
    8/11 or 12- Dashboard in NJ or NYC

    The New Pornographers are actually playing in Paris the day I'm supposed to arrive, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the day after that. I'm really tempted just to forge my way through the city to see them.

    Edit: I just realised that I wrote "flying to Hawai'i two days BEFORE," instead of "two days AFTER." *facepalm*

    FUCKING. MAGIC.
  • Ahhh I have no concerts other than the OK Go one tonight.
  • OH MY GOSH... I cant believe i actually have stuff to write in this thread.

    -Fall out boy May 13th (young and dundas square)
    -Breaks & Culture Toronto Electronic Music Festival, hopefully we'll see MSTRKRFT, from july 7th-9th (harbourfront centre)
    -From the Peg festival featureing "The Wakeing eyes" and "the weakerthans" from July 28th-30th (Harbourfront centre)
    -Indie Unlimited featuring the bell orchestra Aug 25-27th (harbourfront centre, again!)

    you can see that im milking the free-ness going on at the harbourfront, but these festival thingies actually seem fun.

    also maybe beachfest if i it dont suck bones, but thats probably it for the summer.

    and im holding a vigil on June 14, an acount of me having to miss the Bright eyes concert at massy Hall...
  • Who's MSTRKRFT? I know this but remind me per favore?
  • OH MY! MSTRKRFT is Jesse F. Keeler from Death from above 1979 side project.

    its pretty rad, sweet beats and they do awesome remixes

    www.myspace.com/mstrkrft

    They have a new remix up too "ceolakanth is android" originally by the polysics... this awesometastic Japanese electro punk band.

    They've done remixes for Metric, and Buck 65, and lots of other bands... I love the song "Paris" thats up on thier myspace...

    and to fel... I don't think we'll be able to see MSTRKRFT at the Beats festival... thier set starts at 12:30... am! sooo its pretty late...

    1. You should try and meet the Waking Eyes, they're really nice.

    2. Have you heard if the Bell Orchestre is any good live? I have a chance to see them this summer.

    to 1: will do, but probably wont get a chance... there will probably be massive amounts of people at theses festival thingies on account of them being free

    to 2: if i see them before you get a chance to i'll give you my rating of thier goodness... i just wanna see them to rack up some "scene points", other than that im preety much going to that indie thingi to check out bands i haven't heard of before.... also Yodie is forcing me biggrin.gif
