Nick Cave is finally in Washington, D.C.!

Since my kidneys aren't exactly in peak condition—let alone my other recycling centers—I was wondering if there’s some kind of discount for married couples? 🙂

I guess there's a reason people say you shouldn't trade your soul for a quick buck. 😁>

Seriously.

Stop copying! 😛

Just grabbing a seat...
😁

banderas said:By the way, shouldn't Radiohead have been on that list too?😕

Oh, absolutely, Radiohead!! Everyone in my hometown was listening to them...😕
God, people are never satisfied, seriously...🙄 😁

Radiohead ultimately couldn't make the reunion work—one member is booked for a tour with Chronomad (March 6th in Chicago) while the other is touring with Lali Puna (May 1st in New York). That single free weekend they had between those tours—the window they actually planned to visit us—was apparently decided upon for some much-needed downtime instead. Don't worry though, they'll be arriving in September...

Look, this festival is about showcasing interesting music. Just because a few of these artists managed to find a bit of success doesn't mean their sound has lost its edge or interest.

It wasn't from you. It's a quote from the leader in Powerpuff Girls. 😛

hollowseal33 said:I didn't quote you—that was just me channeling Mojo Jojo from the Powerpuff Girls. 😛

Hehe, I was actually quoting Dexter.

lol!

grandpa the du du monkey said:Heh, I was betting on Dexter.

banderas said:I've heard whispers about some underground acts coming through, but nothing major on the mainstream radar. Maybe you have more inside info?😁

Since it was already brought up in another thread—Metallica is playing on June 26th or 27th 😁. Supposed to be a secret until next week, though.
June 23rd should stay under wraps for now, along with a few other dates.😁

I am just so incredibly excited about all these amazing concerts coming up.
I think I might actually have to start setting aside some extra cash on the side just to keep up. 🙂

Anyway, is anyone planning on seeing Belle and Sebastian on March 17th in New York City?
Or, more specifically, would anyone be interested in driving,
because I'm looking for two spots in a car and I can offer great company and plenty of sandwiches. 🙂

Small fry, big shots, just drifting through the current.
Get back here, buddy, give me back my girl.

I honestly don't even know what I'd part with... maybe my brain, since it clearly isn't doing much for me anyway.😁
Looks like we're going to have to start getting on better terms with our local organizers.
(And obviously not because they're giving out free passes.😳 😁 )

Honestly, I think only Bob knows what's actually going on with this topic...

So, Courtney Love isn't coming to NYC after all?

Well, that’s just great. 😠 😠 😠

A 😕 😕 😕
She’s a no-show? Well, she was definitely 😕

No😢
