Pixies tickets go on sale on the 21st. and they're freaking expensive! $27 plus whatver else ticketmaster gets you up the hoop with. No way will I go to two shows if I'm going to Coachella. I think they're overestimating the draw of this event. People will not be flying into Saskatoon and Regina and Winnipeg from all over the world to see The Pixies. Stupid ticketmaster. Limit 4 tickets per person??? why?

I still haven't bought my Coachella ticket but I think I'm going to book my days off from work tomorrow.

Merge records will be re-releasing the first three Dinosaur Jr albums later this year as well as a new LP by J Mascis. Sweet! Finally a label that will do the man justice.

A new Wilco album has been annouced. Can't tell you when the release date is right now. I'm also looking forward to the new Descendents, Frank Black, and Modest Mouse albums.

I bought some records at this huge flea market at Prarieland Park. Can't remember everything I bought right now but there were some good finds. I'm entering all my records on the computer so soon enough you will be able to see what I have.

Modest Mouse rocked on Last Call with Carson Daly last night. Work is sort of fun now. Coachella is most likely on. I might go to 2 Pixies shows. I no longer have a TV and DVD player in my room. It's a beautiful world. It's a wonderful life.

Pixies coming to Saskatoon

okay what the hell. This is the funniest and awesomest thing ever. The Pixies, after not playing for over ten years, are making Regina and Saskatoon their 2nd and 3rd stops on their reunion tour. I'm almost disappointed in a way because now I have hardly any reasons to go to Coachella (The Flaming Lips, Wilco). If I stayed here I would go to the Regina show as well. That would be wonderful to follow them all the way from Winnipeg down to Coachella.

So yeah, should I spend over a thousand dollars to go to Coachella? I dunno. I already had my heart set so I want to. If The Flaming Lips and Wilco play Bumbershoot this year then I would really feel bad because I was planning to meet an internet friend in Seattle in September. Woe is me. haha yeah right. This should be great news, how come I feel weird.

Seeing Frank Black last year was great. I'm skeptical to think that the rest of The Pixies will make it that much more special.

I wonder is Coachella will just end up being me and Curtis. I think we should take Greyhounds if it is but I would love to go to Vegas and travel back up the coast and through Seattle.

It somehow seems disappointing now. Although it's god to see that The Flaming Lips are in and in a good spot. I bolded the bands I'm excited about and Italicized the ones I'm sort of interested in seeing. I am sad to see Sparta and My Morning Jacket gone.

Will I Ever Go To Bed?

Modest Mouse will be on Carson Daly on Tuesday. Death Cab will be on Friday.

1. New Frank Black disc in April. NEAT! Each one of his releases gets better in my opinion

2. Sounds like Coachella may be a reality. My roommate is in on it. We're investigating driving, bussing, and flying options

3. I forget what number 3 is

3. Oh yeah. I'm a total dork but this week was a good one for comics. I'll write some reviews as soon as I'm not so tired

4. I just got two new DVDs Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season One and Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back. Curb is awesome. Haven't watched Dylan yet.

5. The threeohsix.org benefit show is tomorrow. Should be good (or at least nice to meet a few people in person).

p.s. tomorrow is Friday.

Broken Social Scene @ Louis - March 7th

Broken Social Scene @ Louis - March 7th. Write that down.

Yay! Missed them last time because I wasn't hip enough to know who they were.

opening will be The Stills, I heard their song on CFCR the other day. They are to Interpol what Pilate is to Radiohead.

Billy Talent BS

As you may know Billy Talent didn't show up Friday night at The Pat. Apparently they got stuck in small town Saskatchewan. Whatever. I'm sure I've driven worse roads. I wonder where they were stuck? Could it be my buttfuck home town?

Once hearing that and dancing to The Rumour for a few songs we left and I ended up having one of the weirdest and most hilarious nights of my life (I won't get into it... yet).

So the make up concert is tonight. I phoned The Pat and they said that the opening band will start at 10:30 and BT will be on about 45 minutes after. Anyway, that's fucking stupid - I have to work at 8:00. I would have to be masochistic to go. I'm usually up until about 12 anyway but I don't want to be tired tomorrow, especially since I haven't completely finished my bout with strep throat. Billy Talent= worth it? Probably not. Tonight is a mystery to me.
