now THIS is a festival i'd LOVE to attend... why can't we get cool s*** like this in LA?
Moogfest 2012
oh lord yes.
Good Riddance announces a few socal reunion shows.
October 5, 2012: Chain Reaction
October 6, 2012: Whiskey A Go Go
I just bought tickets for the Whiskey show without blinking. Provided the baby boy doesn't come early (due Oct 22), I'm there.
omg, I should see if my husband wants to go to the chain Rxn show. I love that venue but being as old as I am now, most of the bands that play there now are what the OC kids aged 12-22 like.
here's a fun fact about their lead singer:
"Rankin is a member of PETA and leads a straight edge and vegan lifestyle. Rankin holds the position of California/Western United States Regional Scout for the Kootenay Ice, a hockey team that competes in the Western Hockey League."
being that Good Riddance is probably my favorite band, I am happy. Rankin is actually a huge Devils fan.
Canes circa 1999, Good Riddance/H2O. I sat at the bar for 45 minutes watching NHL playoffs next to him before they went on. He seemed skeptical at first, but eased the tension once I offered him a piece of bubble gum. good times.

Fishbone playing Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach tonight!
I'm gonna go to the new All Tomorror's Parties event in NYC next month. Some great bands playing, but what made it can't-miss for me is Philip f***ing Glass! He's doing some new collaboration with one of the original members of Battles... Can't wait!
I'll Be Your Mirror USA 2012 curated by Greg Dulli & ATP - All Tomorrow's Parties
Really bummed Louis CK pulled out, but it should be tripped out awesomeness none the less.
goin to see trivium and killswitch tonight \m/
We took in Styx at a county fair last night. We had great seats in row 2 and had a great time. Tommy Shaw can still sing and Jim Young can still play guitar. They got a Canadian dude who sounds just like Dennis DeYoung with less drama. Great show and took the kids - the oldest got two Jim Young picks while the youngest - who is a drummer - caught a drum stick thrown to the audience. It was fun and "Miss America" never sounded better. Lol!
