I know the thread is titled today but I have to speak about yesterday. A big day for me... 1) My oldest started Kindergarden!!! 2) Attended an interview session at the aol building with Stereophonics and band I have enjoyed and liked for 15 years. Met Kelly and Richard Jones got pictures with them and participated in the Q and A 3) Saw Filthy Friends of which Peter Buck's is a member..After the show I spotted Michael Stipe in the crowd. I finally "met" him and spoke to him for about a minute which was beyond a thrill for me as R.E.M. has been my number 1 favorite since I was 9!! On top of th

^ah yes..Saw that show too. Kurt was more reserved with Alejandro. Last night he was doing windmills, running around and jumping and bouncing off the walls. Looks like he was having the time of his life!!!

By the way I was maybe 30 in line so I got against the stage but I was directly in front of Kurt

Show was great a Kurt is a showman but more importantly I spoke to Michael Stipe someone I have idolized musically for almost 30 years of my 37 year old life!! I asked for a picture with him but he declined still was friendly asked me my name and said thanks so it was surreal for me.

Aiming to be close to Peter but will be watching closely

I'm quite excited

Filthy Friends

On their blistering one date Us tour.. Stereophonics

Darn it! I really got into them in the last 5 years. Such a great band. Just saw them last year perform the Royal Scam my favorite album of theirs. I'll miss them

They'll change it up I'm sure then they'll take out Barrel of a gun which I have missed every single time lol but still excited

Thanks!

Nice seeing them on the 11th at msg!

Ok help me here how do you add the album artwork on to the board...Anyway listening to the new LCD Soundsystem and also Washed Out

In my hometown there is a free concert from Pat DiNizio of the Smithereens he is a long time resident so I'll check it out

^Come to Jersey City or the Beacon!

^wow..atticus glad you're ok. I had some family friends who were under mandatory evacuation it sounds unbelievable. Stay safe and keep us posted. Glad no damage yet for you and your family.

^saw that the other day..maybe she is low on cash! Yeah this continues the trend of squeezing people who aren't uber wealth out of shows...I feel bad for kids who are fans and parents who can't afford to take the family out for the one or two shows a year they go to.

^ I hear you. I was a dispatcher during hurricane sandy. From working with Fema to working my job dispatching utility trucks it is pure chaos. A lot of these companies are on such tight budgets they don't want to spend any money by preparing in advanced. It is always wait and see approach which is why some of the recoveries take so long. That being said I have nothing but praise for the first responders and utility workers who risk their lives in times of need.

Excited to see Washed Out tonight for the first time. Really enjoying the new album!

Alice Cooper for $10 why not : )

Wow the big 50!!! Happy Birthday Jeff!

Looks terrible...Stay strong Texas!
