There was Cochella of course, much earlier this year, where I saw Franz Ferdinand (the best at the festival), the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (a very close second), My Morning Jacket, Gnarls Barkley (quickly becoming a favorite), Kayne West and so many more that I can't remember. Of course there was also Madonna, who we didn't actually see, but heard during our last night escape to the parking lot. I can't say she sounded very good at al, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt since we were quite a bit away from her packed tent. The trip, with buddies Tim and Denis was incredible. I'll try to blog about it soon.
But my update tonight is about the shows coming up. This week will be fun. Tuesday it's Sonic Youth and Pearl Jam with newly anointed Californians Chris and Tiffany (friends who just moved here from Charlotte) and Sunday it will be the Raconteurs, Jack White's side band, with Tim, Kevin, Leslie and the wife.
Then for the birthday celebrations surrounding my all-important 32nd birthday (which also includes my inaugural trip to Vegas) will be one of my new favorite bands: Dirty Pretty Things. Stay tuned for updates!
