first i'll be seeing Marc Ribot, then i gotta head over to Royale to see Caspian, Cursive and Minus The Bear.

Forget The Swan! they don't seem to do Raisans much anymore, which is too bad

Billy Childish vs Jack White Mark Arm vs Courtney Love Sonic Youth vs Courtney Love Mogwai vs Blur Robert Pollard vs Flaming Lips/Conor Oberst/Sebadoh, etc

spliffed out

that one's good. i've heard mixed reviews on Devil Went Home and Puked, Some Drinking Implied (i think i had this on VHS), Austin City Limits (Pollard being too drunk being the main problem) and The Who Went Home and Cried.

GBV has a few DVDs out, but this is the crown jewel. it's really great. The Band That Would Be King (1/2 Japanese) is also a good view.

heading down to ATP's I'll Be Your Mirror trmw...probably the weakest lineup of the 6 i've been to so far (and the venue is a big question mark in and of itself), but i am sure i will still have a lot of fun.

WMJ is the greatest documentary ever made, about the greatest American band. i still need to see the Burma doc.

Omitting Watch Me Jumpstart from this list is ludicrous.

some people have opinions. i pray to allah it won't let it stop you from snarkiness.

gag. btw, great call on The Delgados and Go-Betweens,

i got into the Dublin too late for The Necks last night.

aces. fucking aces.

not really sure how one defines 'lead guitar' but here are bands that i would consider to have really exceptional two guitar interplay thin white rope big dipper come polvo tar the chameleons sonic youth swervedriver grails television the church

can you have a rhythm guitarist in a band w/ just one guitarist?

Sonic Youth (though the reason they are my favorite has little do w/ Kim's singing )

Melvins X GBV

i could live with these picks just fine.

speaking of old.... the last three active topics are threads on The Stones, The Who and Led Zep...

Buzz Osbourne of the Melvins is *very* funny but usually doesn't say much on stage. However, check out some of his interviews or do a YouTube search for his appearances on Fox TV's Red Eye.

hmmm... You Really Got Me Waterloo Sunset Set Me Free I'm Not Like Everybody Else Do You Remember Walter? Shangri-La Get Back In Line 20th Century Man God's Children Sleepwalker

i might be the only person going to both Madonna and Sunn O))) tonight.

That's the same venue that I saw the outlaws....
