I'll have a full list soon but as of right now i'm going to concentrate on who I plan to see at Lollapalooza this weekend, ALREET?
Friday: These United States, The Constellations, The Black Keys, The Strokes
Saturday: The Kissaway Trail, The Soft Pack
Sunday: Frank Turner, The Cribs, Hockey, Frightened Rabbit, The Temper Trap
NOTE: This is just who I want to see and won't miss tbh, there will be plenty more added in depending on circumstance and what others want to do (like seeing Green Day Saturday, wtf. Either way though I'm happy with what i've got already so anything else will just be a bonus (or detriment if it's fucking shit)

I have a dilemma, the No Age/Male Bonding gig is the same day as MF Doom at Brixton.... I don't know what to do, even though I already have the No Age tickets, Doom doesn't come here often
the gigs ive got lined up for the rest of this year at the moment...

the details of this are slightly confusing but on thursday I'm going to see that fucking tank and hot club de paris, playing in a 'record shop' which is itself an art installation in a gallery space. the gig is being recorded and that night the artist will be cutting a bootleg of it on vinyl, with a lathe(thats what it says but surely it cant be right?) which will be sold the next day in the shop the gig is£3 fuck knows how much the recording will be.
