4 years ago you posted on my last.fm that you were jealous that I got to see the shins and you asked if it was amazing.... Yes, it was amazing! I get to see them again at the end of May. So, thanks for asking! :)

Yeahh Coldplay. Cool taste.

Hey Marissa! Hope you are doing well. Have you heard Mumford and Sons? I saw them on the Grammys, they are now on constant rotation. Thought you might like them...they are bluegrassy with a touch of indie rock...but I will preface this by saying I love pretty much anything with a banjo...

It was a good show. There were about six or seven new songs that were all of epic length (and headed in the same stylistic direction as "You Are the Blood" from the Dark Was the Night compilation). I could have used a longer set and more of the classics, but that's just me being picky. All things considered, he's worth seeing in concert again.

yeah Mates of State is amazing. I have seen both them and RXB live, and they both put on phenomenal shows. I saw RXB during the tour they are on now for Mandala, it was incredible.

hey, how's it going?

honestly not really sure about the hotel thing...just look on a travel site maybe to find cheap hotels in chicago....if you are just looking to hang out in the area and not spend a ton of money on the room, i wouldn't worry about trying to find a really nice hotel...the mid grade ones are all kinda the same...and the rael nice ones are expensive...i know there are sites that have travelers reviews and stuff right? sorry i wish i could be more help i never stay in chicago hotels lol

Sweet! You like Islands? That's amazing. They're so good live. I'll see you in T.O for RXB!

oh i see you are coming aug 6th a day before lolla! :)

actually never been to the bottom lounge...there's always shows i wanna see there but something comes up...i'm sure its not hard to find though i can always give you directions if you need...and i you want give me a buzz when you're up here if you not sure what to do or looking for places to go :) i'll send you my # then

someone just told me about portugal the man not too long ago and i love them. :)

hiya

Nice Shins reference :)

Good, thank you. How are you?

Man, of course that would happen when I don't have a car and can't get there. And of COURSE they would be playing with Annuals, who are similarly pretty awesome.

Hello Miss. How was rxb on tuesday you lucky devil?

Nah, I haven't been to anything lately. Been spending my time preparing for and completing a move and getting ready for my new job. You?

I dont know anything about the venue, I've only ever been to what was Gund Arena up there. We should run in to each other though, might be nice to say hi. :)

my death cab tickets showed up :]

haha yeah i definitely want to. that sounds sweet. i missed the minus the bear tour, unforunately. i saw rxb last summer but that was before i liked them, so this tour should be great. portugal the man always gets on the best tours. they toured with thursday/circle takes the square and with rocky votolato, all of whom are great.

I didn't go. :(

thanks! i love both bands indeed. it's nice to know i'm not the only one who does.

hey hey! how goes it?

nooo clue who the other band/artist is ;/

hahah. come see him with me when he comes by!

Tell me about it! I must say it is refreshing =) Although it took me a while to see your post...sorry!

oh wow, that would be a sweet lineup. i'm seeing Portugal with Minus The Bear next month. :)

i've seen them 3 times, and each time was excellent. i actually saw them about a week or so ago with The (English) Beat. it was pretty sick, even though rxb weren't headlining.

your top 10 bands couldn't be much better. especially the top 4 :)

why thank you m'am =0]

Greetings! How'd you like the Flogging Molly show?

hello, I really like Radiohead. It all started when I first saw the Karma Police music video. oh has the time flew by. High five about the terrible memory. If arms were removable; then I would walk around armless all the time..

hello. Akron, Ohio is a neat place to live. good taste in music too. david

well, i'm very glad of that...i see he is the last thing you have listened to...it's one of my cds of the year. feist last night was quite special, she has a wonderful voice which is great to experience live. cfx

prince concert was sublime...all the killer, no filler. band were amazing too...and you will be pleased to know that fionn only has one debut album which i highly recommend you getting a hold of cfx

Hey thanks!

it's one guy actually, from ireland. a bit like damien rice but a bit also like simon + garfunkel and bob dylan. a lot good i would say. and yeh, the smashing pumpkins did not disappoint. it was pretty rock and had some early stuff from siamese dream, but it was amazing seeing bc in the flesh playing guitar the way he does. one of the gigs of the year i'd say. cfx

i certainly have...we used to do a live version of 'ice cream heart' that got compared to them a lot. in return...have you listened to fionn regan yet?cfx

yup...i listen to *all* the shit. cfx

it's my latest thing...i see you're on the beatles cfx

well thank you kindly (and how is high going back to normal ;) ) cfx

yeh, that happened with someone else on my friends list as well. i wonder what we listened to that tied it up?cfx

well that's a vote of approval if ever i heard one ;)cfx

Mine have been here for a little while. I'm so freaking excited for the show, I've been listening to RBF & LTJ heavily at work.

yeh, i'm pretty excited to say the least. *and* i'm going to see prince. yas. cfx

last.fm thinks we have high musical compatibility. so it surely must mean you have grreeatt taste in music too ;) cfx

:) why thank you i like your new pic too cute!!

Orgy is one of my all time favorite bands. I saw them twice and both times it was unbelievable. Did you see them in '05?

OMGZZZZZZ you listened to an ORGY song!

i wanted to go on the 19th but i don't think i'll be able to make that one either. so sad! you'll have to let me know how it was!
