Oh damn, I didn't know The Besnard Lakes were coming. I've never been to The Blend before... what's that place like?

ETA--- that Bishop Allen album has leaked, btw. I'm not sure if it's been posted or not and I have no idea how long ago the leak happened.

I can't decide if I even want to bother now, this new album is just not as good as Set Yourself on Fire

7/11/2007 7:45:19 PM

^ give it a few more listens. it's really grown on me with each listen.

7/11/2007 8:19:08 PM

^^^yeah. i'll be there.

after a lame summer september is looking to kick major ass

7/12/2007 12:52:09 PM

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!

7/12/2007 2:20:39 PM

I'm too poor for all this awesomeness.

7/12/2007 3:57:26 PM

Seems like every band I want to see comes on a night when I have class.

I'll be seeing St. Vincent tomorrow night at 506 for sure and Okkervil River at the Cradle for sure. Other than that who knows.

7/12/2007 4:19:04 PM

bttt for Deerhoof on Carson Daley tonight

7/19/2007 12:09:58 AM

dayum... the National there now as well?

Holy Crap... September is going to be one great month of shows, most of which are within a week of each other.

Are the tickets on sale yet?

7/19/2007 12:20:08 AM

only thing that isn't available yet is the Stars show (presale is on but I can wait til Friday)

7/19/2007 12:21:31 AM

Of Montreal-9/28 at the cradle...sept. is gonna be the best month ever for concerts

7/19/2007 12:41:19 AM

dan deacon (!!!!!!!) and girl talk september 21 at orange peel

7/19/2007 12:49:43 AM

the national & okkervil river <3333333

7/19/2007 1:08:28 AM

girl talk>dan deacon

just sayin'

i really want to go to that show

7/19/2007 2:15:07 AM

dan deacon > girl talk, live performance wise

it's going to be a pretty sweaty show with at least one shirtless man though.

7/19/2007 2:26:34 AM

Dan Deacon live is an experience, but I can't see it being nearly as entertaining at a place like the Orange Peel as it is at Bickett/506.

7/19/2007 4:06:38 AM

seeing battles tonight

7/19/2007 7:18:12 AM

Bishop Allen+Page France on Monday.

Just bought tickets to Dan Deacon+Girl Talk in Asheville.

p.s. Dan Deacon >>>>>> Girl Talk.

7/19/2007 8:07:39 AM

to each his own, but i feel like girl talk (greg gillis) understands how to use climaxes and changes to make his music feel like a party better than deacon. i think his editing is more immediately appealing. i can put night ripper on for a group of people that have never heard it, and most of them will be dancing along without even questioning it. if i put on dan deacon's album, i'd get a lot of wtfs. but regardless, dan deacon is a cool dude and i wish i hadn't missed his 506 show.

I completely agree with this.

I don't know that it's been mentioned yet, but John Vanderslice will be at Duke Coffeehouse on September 21st.

7/19/2007 11:06:45 PM

God, I hope Beirut comes to the area this fall when the new album comes out. For some odd reason, I've gone back to Gulag Orkestar and Lon Gisland this past week, and I'm so pissed I haven't seen them live yet.

def. coming to town for animal collective/of montreal weekend.....what a great 2 day lineup
how was st. vincent? i am starting to get real into that album

[Edited on July 21, 2007 at 12:23 AM. Reason : ]

7/21/2007 12:22:36 AM

I just finished listening to that cd and my God did I hate it. They can't all be winners.

7/21/2007 12:38:23 AM

^^ St. Vincent was adorable, as per usual. She was so happy to see people at her show, too.

ActionPants seemed to like her better without the band, (when she opened for Vanderslice with only her guitar) but I think the drums in particular helped out quite a bit when I saw her again.

^ tsk tsk, Cif

srsly, i think you're alone in your own thread there cif. one of the best of the year in my opinion.

7/22/2007 1:51:59 AM

Nah, he's not alone. I thought it was dreadful; could just never get over her voice, personally. It was like nails on a chalkboard to my ears, though.

To each their own.

7/26/2007 4:38:30 PM

7/26/2007 5:15:53 PM

He played in Charlotte earlier this year (or late last year, I don't remember) but it was in the middle of the week and there was just no way I could make it.

7/26/2007 5:17:51 PM

Went to SOJA at the Pour House on Tuesday.
Going to Perpetual Groove at Lincoln Theater tomorrow.
Then Cosmic Charlie at Cat's Cradle next Wednesday, and again at the Pour House at the end of August.

Can't wait for Franti & Spearhead in October.

7/27/2007 9:18:36 PM

right now it's between okkervil river, animal collective, of montreal and wolf parade. have already seen okkervil but they were fucking great.

7/27/2007 9:20:32 PM

of montreal plays here like every other month. if you miss them this time, you'll get another chance

7/27/2007 9:22:58 PM

Animal Collective

7/27/2007 9:37:25 PM

Going into that you should know Animal Collective probably won't be playing much if anything from Strawberry Jam so that might come into consideration.
