Its been a ****ing fantastic year for music/live shows for me. I cannot get over it. I mean, really just thinking from March on, I have seen and heard so much and found so many new bands...

I got to see Kill Radio and Ozma, whom I hadnt' seen in forever, the latter having been broken up for a few years and just recently reuniting.

I got to go to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival where I got to see Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews, Bruce Springstein, Galactic, Etta James, Juvenile, Herbie Hancock, Yerba Buena, Bonerama...and so many others.

I just recently saw The Brazilian Girls.

I got tickets for Thievery Corporation and The Flaming Lips.

I got tickets for Massive Attack.

I got tickets for Bitter:sweet

I am going to catch Ozma again this summer I am sure.

Now if only The Rapture, The Cure, and The Faint went on tour.

I've also discovered so many new/old bands. The Faint. Radio 4. Morcheeba. Mo'Horizons. Bitter:sweet. Galactic. I feel so fortunate to be able to nurture this side of me in a way I never really had. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love rock, but rock can be so stale, especially listening to the radio (even the indie stations).

It has been great being able to overfill this passion of mine and really get the most out of it.

Just got tickets to The Mars Volta and Red Hot Chili Peppers...Manu is happy

Massive Attack - :cool:

Have you seen the Cure before? It was a pinnacle for me, I saw them during Bloodflowers and I had been listening since Kiss Me..... it was phenomenal :nice:

What do you think of Jack White?

That was the first time I saw the cure too. they played this amazing open air venue in the hollywood hiills, maybe 5000 people, so a relatively small show. From 8:30 to 11, they took 2 15 minute breaks, but it was intense. Probably the better show I saw them at was a few summers ago on their Curiosa Festival tour. Just saw a bunch of other great bands.

they, being perhaps my all time favorite band, blew me away. I mean, I was just totally lost in the music.

Jack White, I need to listen to more, I just a cursory knowledge of him.

You're a big live fan, rigth? I've seen them 4 times or so, they are phenomenal live as well.

i saw ub40 this year. I dont go to many shows unless its classic

Floor tickets to Beck at the Wiltern. Rocking.
