There is this terrible rock station in San Francisco (LIVE 105) that totally overplays "Crystallized" and they're freaking out because XX is opening for Friendly Fires. No thank you, I'll pass.

Haha I was JUST checking out some concerts in the Bay for Thanksgiving break last night, and I saw all the hype around Friendly Fires and The XX concert(s?). Got a good laugh out of that. I'll slip into The Heartless Bastards opening for Wolfmother at The Fox Theater- which is under the radar, despite a far superior band playing at a great venue. 
On topic: The XX album was decent- cool concept, but not something I can listen to continuously; maybe once every blue moon when I'm in the exact right mood.

And then, just when you think you've got the whole blah'd damn thing figured out
And you're surrounded by the ones you blah
Death shows up... anddd blah, blah, blah.
