Must see tours

(via spin)
This may inspire me to put together my own list of must see tours. For now I will leave you with Spin's must see summer tours.

1) MGMT
2) Paramore who is apparently traveling with Tegan and Sara (Estrogen fest.. I fucking love it!)
3) Arcade Fire (Meh, don't get me wrong i like their music, but trippy bands like them just tend to disappoint live. Personal opinion, take it or leave it. Or tell me I'm wrong that you saw them and they were AWESOME. I'd like to hear that.)
4) Slayer (Wow, really Spin? I'm impressed)
5) Vampire Weekend (See that? Tin the Park? I swear on this blog I will be at T in the park next year. Who's coming?) 
8) Erykah Badu (I'm so not gonna lie, I have no idea who the hell this is. None.)
11) Hole (Yes!)
12) Phish
13) Lady Gaga 
15) Modest Mouse (Always and forever.)
16) Rihanna 
19) Robyn/Kelis (Since they are the same person ? ..they don't get their own number.)
20) Kele
21) Aerosmith (Yeeah..)
24) Rock the Bells (Lazy Asshole's, Rock the Bells is not a band to see. They just snuck in like 100 bands on one number. This was not a list of festivals to see. 
25) Ozzfest(Again?)

Just some ideas to get you started.

Not too long ago I got into a very one sided conversation with a man at Venice Beach about Pj Harvey, one sided because at the time the name didn't mean jack shit to me, and then went home and immediately forgot about it. Somehow I remembered the other day and decided to do a little research the napster way. And now I really wish I hadn't lost that man's card, because she's amazing and anyone who could rave about her the way he did must be an amazing person.
Oh Polly Jean you are proof that England produces the best music.

Micachu


Recently introduced to me by one of my roommates (who is a wonderful artist in her own right.) Micachu! Being stoned when she said it, I honestly thought she sneezed... An alternative band from the UK, they have a pop feel that's very 'picnic on a spring day'. Maybe they'll make it out of Europe at some point and visit LA??? I'm sure the echo would happy to have them...

Treasure!

Missed out on all the other summer festivals because you're a working stiff? (It's ok, I hear they totally sucked....) Perhaps now you've managed to save up enough to catch treasure island. I haven't, but I'm sure if I pick up dealing now I could pull in 4-500 in the next week or so. Maybe? The line-up includes the Brazilian Girls, Beirut, and MGMT. Some Flaming Lips? Plus, I'll be there. Come party!Or, you can stay home and read about Tom Yorke's new band (a little radiohead love, anybody?) The debut show was at the echoplex last Friday. Lucky for me, I was working. -rolls eyes- Apparently a manic show, I could've announced my love for Flea from RHC, then thrown my shirt on stage and passed out. So many regrets..... Did anyone get to see it?

Peace.


Or not.
Fight Club!?

Kate Nash singing Flourescent Adolescent

A woman singing this seriously adds something.
