in a perfect world, these are the shows that i will catch in the near future.

anyone wanna join me?

04/15 - paul melancon - earl - $6.00 -- i shouldn't get my hopes up for this one. paul and i seem to constantly miss one another likes ships passing in the night. seems every time i think i will get out to one of his shows, something goes a miss and i don't make it. then the inevitable guilt ensues -- i read his journal (hypnogun), i own his music, i should be at his shows, yeah? *grumble*

04/16 - BRMC - the roxy -- $22.00 -- okay, with a ticket price like that it's unlikely that i will go, plus it's probably already sold out. ah well. perhaps i will catch them someday at a better price (or they will just get huge and i will kick myself for years for not going to this show).

04/26 - blonde redhead - echo lounge -- $15.00 -- kev (xtwitch) and i will most likely be going to this. we've discussed it at least. *crosses fingers*

04/29 - elf power - earl - $8.00 -- even though my beloved bryan has left the band, i would still like to catch this show if i can. i've not seen them live in quite some time and have been procrastinating about getting their newest disc. we'll see on this one. being on a weeknight makes its a bit sketchy, as i turn into a pumpkin after midnight. hell, you could all just make pumpkin pie out of me.

05/13 - dirtbombs - echo lounge -- $10.00 -- kev and i are certainly going to have to catch this one. i almost want to try and meet ben and thank him for the tin knocker 45. they say he can be a bit of an ass though, so i am not sure i will. perhaps i can charm him with my feminine wiles...yeah, you almost bought that, didn't you? anyway, looking forward to this one. if only to be in the presense of jack's kin.

05/15 - sloan - cotton club -- $13.00 -- though iramoved made good points about missing this one as their career is on a downward slope, i don't know if i can turn down basking in the presense of chris murphy in-the-flesh again. *swoonness* he seemed to even be flirting with me after the show, but i had a boyfriend at the time so i didn't pursue it...i don't have a boyfriend now, though...mwahahahahahaaa!

05/25 - deathray davies w/ okkervil river - earl - $7.00 -- not sure about this one, i don't know anything about deathray davies, but i have been reading lots of good things about okkervil river. the verdict is still out on this one.

05/28 - beulah - earl - $11.50 -- oooh, such elephant 6 goodness. i have never actually caught this band play live, so i am curious to see how they will translate into a live performance. i dig them on record though, so i'll have to see if i can drop by for it.

i think that's about it. of course they are bigger shows i could attend in my fantasy world (bowie, blondie...), but i'll just stick to the smaller potatoes for now...

Um, if you will give me a sample of this music to at least familiarize myself with I LOVE to go hear live music.

deathray davies are good, they are from texas (dallas) and i've seen them. . . from what i can remember (ha) it was rather nice. also okkervil river, i missed them when they came through, but i've also heard very good things about them!

I've met Ben a few times at shows and he's always been super nice. Maybe he was having a bad day when whomever told you he was an ass met him, but I think some people take him the wrong way, or like to talk crap because they didn't get what they want out of him.

that's cool. i would hope that the people are wrong as i would really like to meet him as a big dirtbombs and cass records fan. i can imagine he can be put in a diffiult position sometimes with fans (especially white stripes fans because of his connections) and be a bit wary of people. i do want to thank him for the tin knocker 45 he sent me though, as well as see if he digs the music i traded him for it.
