Days like today make it apparent why I read Pitchfork (not for their review but the news. I really hate them but they report the news I want).
So the Cure were coming to Seattle at the Key Arena and it would have been really cool to see them but I wouldn't want a shitty seat at the Key Arena (it's just terrible for concerts) but I wouldn't want to wait in line with tons of hardcore Cure fans seeing as I'm not really hardcore about them at all, so I just wasn't going to put down that 50 dollars. But they cancelled their tour for some reason and now they've resheduled it for later... much later. Like nextMay and June. it looks like their playing next year's Sasquatch Festival.
WOO HOO! That gets me excited. That'll be incredible.

And then I found out M.I.A. is coming to Seattle November 16th! I was really bummed when she cancelled this year's Sasquatch performance, she was basically the main reason I was going, but now it looks like I'll see her yet! I hope... there's still a posibility that it will be 21 and over. It's at this new Showbox venue they just opened in the Sodo district. It's kinda wierd that they have two venues... And the downside of this is Stars is the same night at the main venue. Well sorry Stars, M.I.A. wins this battle.

And some more things:
New Grizzly Bear with Dirty Projectors and Beirut re-doing Alligator:
Alligator (Choir Version)
Devendra Banhart on Cribs!!!
This is wierd. I wish they did more episodes like this instead of cruising around and checking out everyone's cars and bland rooms with unnecessary things luxuries and things so expensive you've never heard of them.
There's nothing I would like more than to stay a night or two at Devendra's hosue and jam with his buddies and make jewelry.
Also, have you seen this commercial?
I haven't seen it on TV et. I kinda love it cause it's funny but I hate it at the same time because it's such a dumb ad. What do you think?
