Kathleen and I went to Athens to see Wilco last Monday night. I honestly hadn’t thought about the coincidence of the show being on 4/20… Oh well… Had a good time. They played for a little over 2 hours.

And they mostly played old stuff, which really made me happy. Not that I don’t like Sky Blue Sky, but this was the first time I’d seen them live.

Kathleen and I went to see James’ band Venice is Sinking last Friday night. It was a CD release show at Kavarna in Oakhurst. They were great of course.

Today, I found out that Merge Records XX festival tickets went on sale today, and they sold out today… that sucks. I was really wanting to go. I’ve never seen Superchunk in concert, and they don’t tour much at all these days… oh well…

Last Wednesday me and Kathleen went to see Clem Snide at the Earl, and The Heligoats opened.

Last Wednesday we went to see Loney, Dear and Andrew Bird at the Variety Playhouse. Actually, I didn’t even know Loney, Dear was playing until the day of the show because I bought the tickets right when they went on sale and it wasn’t posted yet, so I was very excited… Oh yeah, and Andrew Bird was freaking Awesome…

I’m really late posting this, but we went to see Silver Jews over three weeks ago with Brent, Alexis, Eric, and Kelly.

Monotonix opened for them, which was quite a show…
We were sitting on the right side where they have the plastic chairs set up. They started out on the floor in the front. Then half way through they drug all their equipment over directly in front of us.
