Mike Watt in April, Ted Leo solo in early May and Mary Poppins: The Musical in a couple weeks. I don't go to many shows these days (claustrophobia issues/enjoy getting to bed before 2am) but I'm pretty excited for these three. Wanted to see Neil Young when he comes to town but that's a little too rich for my blood.

Pogues w/ Titus Andronicus tonight at Terminal 5. Terrified of crowd's level of drunkenness, though...

That sounds freakin dangerous man. Imagine if bottles were still allowed.

Man or Astroman? & Barrington Levy in recent weeks. Different bills, obv.

My spring/early summer is looking like:

Strange Boys
Pixies
Guitar Wolf/Cheap Time
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
Anvil
and probably the Sled Island music festival in June.

All in all, not too shabby.

That's a great line-up! Where do you live?

I don't usually know what shows I'm going to until a week in advance, so I can't make a months-long forecast. Here's the docket for the next 7-10 days:

Tonight: River City Tanlines/Sweet Eagle
3/21: White Hills/Birds of Avalon
3/25: Japanther/Surf City (maybe)
3/27: Destroyer/The War on Drugs

There are some Memphis shows I'm looking forward to: Guitar Wolf/Cheap Time, Jonathan Richman, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. I'm considering going to Austin to see Wire, but I probably won't.
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

Victoria, BC (Vancouver Island), a pretty small market, so its nice that so many good shows are coming to town. The only one I need to travel to the mainland for is Guitar Wolf, but it will be so worth it: rock n' roooooll!

I'll probably be at Sled Island as well, hardweek. Could a Calgary gathering be in the cards?

Recently caught The Parting Gifts, Obits, and Ty Segall. All were fantastic.

Upcoming is Destroyer, Lightning Bolt, and The Mountain Goats.

I'll be seeing the Mountain Goats three or four times in the next month.  Should be great.

I'm gonna see James McMurtry with The Bottle Rockets opening up next friday.  Pretty pumped. Cool points = -50.

 I saw McMurtry about 10 years ago. He was great.  He's near the top of the singer-songwriter charts for me.

Sled Island is shaping up nicely, once again. Looks like I'm going to Calgary in June. Recordland or bust!
