June 6, 201016 yr So you saw BSS recently? How was it? And did you like Timber Timbre? I love him so much, an amazing artist!
June 6, 201016 yr You snob :bigcry: ! I usually have nothing to come and when I do I'm so excited xD. Currently I have 2 tickets (one for The National + Vampire Weekend and one for MGMT) and I want to be like :smug: but after what you said I'm like :disappointed:... lolYeah, but that's near you, right? For gigs in Amsterdam I have to travel six hours. :bigcry: So you saw BSS recently? How was it? And did you like Timber Timbre? I love him so much, an amazing artist! Yeeeeh :wacko: I really liked Timber Timbre! Probably one of my favourite opening acts this year. I love dark and melancholic music, so Timber Timbre is exactly my cup of tea. Can you recommend any albums or eps? Broken Social Scene was pretty good, except for the fact that they have two hour sets. I usually don't mind, but they started too late for me to see the whole thing because I had to catch the last train home. But apart from that, I really enjoyed the show. The new songs sounded fantastic (especially liked Texico Bitches, Forced to Love and The Sweetest Kill) and they played a good selection of old songs (7/4 Shoreline, Cause = Time, Anthems etc., unfortunately no Lover's Spit). Also awesome crowd participation. At one point Kevin invited a boy on the stage to hold the lyrics to Forced to Love. It was kind of hilarious because Kevin was almost hitting on the boy. But he didn't seem to mind. Highlight for me was when Kevin sang a song in the middle of the audience and everyone automatically started taking pictures and photos. He said that we should just "savour the memory" and everyone just listened. :D I was really bummed that I couldn't see the whole show, but I knew that beforehand. BSS are a lot of fun though. :nice:

BSS are a lot of fun though. :nice: Awesome. They're another band I would like to see. I've seen most of the member's various side projects but never BSS together. Sounds like a fun time! As for Timber Timbre I'm only familiar with his latest s/t album. So I would highly recommend that one. It was my no. 6 album of 2009. :) Demon Host is a spectacularly haunting bone chilling song. Also I saw him in an old church. So beautiful.

June 6, 201016 yr Over Halloween he had it as a free download on his website. BUt that isn't very useful now :P
June 6, 201016 yr Yeah, but that's near you, right? For gigs in Amsterdam I have to travel six hours. :bigcry: Wow, six hours :shocked2:! Yeah, it's in my town. I could go to Paris (that's only two hours of train away from where I live) and see a LOT more shows but it's too expensive so none of my friends would want to do it for bands they usually don't even know. :disappointed:
June 6, 201016 yr I don't think I said it, but I'm planning on seeing Muse on October 24th, and the Styx at some point in the summer, not sure what day though. :awesome:
June 7, 201016 yr Just home from Flaming Lips. Tomorrow night MGMT. July 20 Silversun Pickups. Sept 2 Rodrigo y Gabriela. Sept 22 and 23 Kings of Leon. Nov. 20 Roger Waters- The Wall.
June 7, 201016 yr I have no concerts coming up. It sucks! seeing She & Him tomorrow free show, too :D Chicago? My dad's there for work. He's going too.
June 7, 201016 yr Oh wait yeah. I'm seeing DJ Premier A legend basicalllyyy... Building up my Hip Hop cred or somethin
June 7, 201016 yr Ok, so my "planning to see" list expands... :D 25 June - 'Go Between Bridge' charity concert feat. Angus & Julia Stone, Yves Klein Blue, Josh Pyke 25 July - Kasabian 30 July - 1 August - SPLENDOUR! (feat. all these guys) 5 December - Muse
June 7, 201016 yr Wow, six hours :shocked2:! Yeah, it's in my town. I could go to Paris (that's only two hours of train away from where I live) and see a LOT more shows but it's too expensive so none of my friends would want to do it for bands they usually don't even know. :disappointed:I don't have to pay for public transport (that's part of my student grant), otherwise I could never afford it. But I like going somewhere, especially by train, so I don't mind that it takes forever. And I'm used to it now. :sweatdrop: If I would only go to shows in my town, I wouldn't be able to see really really awesome stuff like Jónsi or LCD Soundsystem. :wacky: Over Halloween he had it as a free download on his website. BUt that isn't very useful now :P*grabs time machine* Oh, wait. I already have the album on my computer. :tongue:
June 9, 201016 yr Chicago? My dad's there for work. He's going too. Yes! We got 4th row seats. It was really good
June 10, 201016 yr Oh wait yeah. I'm seeing DJ Premier A legend basicalllyyy... Building up my Hip Hop cred or somethin Phwoar. This has been postponed to next week (it was supposed to be last night)
June 10, 201016 yr I still have to get tickets for Broken Social Scene for September. Also on Saturday I'm going to get tickets for Arcade Fire @MSG. I wanted to go see The National, they're playing a show next week, but it's sold out :( Also I've been strongly considering going to the Oshega Festival in Montreal. Outside of that, no other concerts I want to go to at the moment.

June 14, 201016 yr I really really want to see Jónsi & Richard Ashcroft :blank: But I don't think I will be able to see either of them. And now I feel like crying.
