Matt Berninger is most likely the second coming of Christ. My favorite band right now.

Just listened to that album today actually. I got it when it first came out (was that already over a year ago?) and have missed them TWICE in the area. They are playing this weekend at a festival that costs too much for me to go to, and i'm sooo bummed out. I would kill to see them live.

Yes! I have Boxer rated 5 stars on RYM. I love how the lyrics are so akward...The line about the lemonade in Fake Empire.

Is that that ATP festival? God literally all my favorite artists are there: Jens Lekman, Okkervil River, Dinosaur Jr., Explosions in the Sky, Silver Jews, Sunset Rubdown, etc. Goddamn the ocean.

That sounds epic but I was talking about Sasquatch Music festival in Washington. Sasquatch Music Festival

I was going to go, then didn't get tix in time, and now they're selling for over $300. I'm so bummed.

Damn, allwe get is good headlinging acts, the biggest names, nothing small. There's occasionally something good in San Jose, but I never make it.

Ohh I heard about that too late. I was bitching to my friend about how boring Bumbershoot had become lately and how there was nothing worth seeing and he then told me about that one but I couldn't afford the tickets. I'm going to What the Heck Fest instead though, which is over in Anacortes which looks like it will be fun. Mount Eerie, Kimya Dawson, Calvin Johnson are really the only semi-notable names though.

I think I'm spoiled. Seattle is the place to be for live music. Hands down.

EDIT: Ok, LA and NY have their advantages.

Holy moly! Don't tell me we're in the same area??!!
EDIT: I have tix to Bumbershoot this year already. The line-up keeps getting better, and I haven't been for three years or so.

We have good folk and Bluegrass stuff, huge festivals in Golden Gate Park, but besides that there's not much.
