I was just watching Future Islands who were great. Would like to stay up to see Pet Shop Boys but don't think I'll last that long.

fuck yeah

"Gouge Away"

after "Head On" nice.

Pixies probably couldn't sound any more raw or powerful.

"Where Is My Mind?"

ask that to myself a bit too much.

i saw the Pixies in 1989, we both have changed a lot since then.

I said I’m human, but you know I lie.
I'm only visiting this shore.
I'll soon be leaving in the outbound tide
I pray again we will meet.

the Pixies rule, no two ways about it.

WOW

so Queens of the Stone Age or MGMT?

I'm doing QOTSA, but will probably switch between.

Joey really Ira Kaplan-ed the hell out of the Pixies last song.

yeah, they absolutely killed it.

chose MGMT because i'm in that mood tonight.

"Time To Pretend"

MGMT are like the modern day Flaming Lips. they are going to do alright for themselves.

so Pharrell Williams

MGMT are a great band. they put on such a good show today.

today I watched (more like listened to with an eye on) Washed Out, Future Islands, Lorde, Chvrches and a little of Foxygen, Pharrell and The Head & The Heart. pretty much everyone was good except Pharrell and what is up with that Foxygen dude.

agree that Chvrches were great, tho.

wish they would replay Goat.

A lot of these are showing up on youtube as full sets, so check there.

PET

SHOP

BOYS

"One More Chance"

and now

"Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)"

rent
it's a sin
domino dancing

and not you were always on my mind

took a while to warm up but i'm there now

now, i mean

...and it's over

hope i'm not being annoying.

not at all! the bimble comment was about me forgetting how to be present and enjoy the things i like and how great it is to see someone able to just zoom in and be there when something's happening

they are replaying Neko Case's set right now, and if you haven't already seen it, worth doing so ... i'm not a super-fan, but she and her band sound great.

oh wait, it just ended ... well anyway, one worth catching if you can.

Even a mask can't disguise DiCaprio's immense charisma:

wow that makes everything worth it

Watching the Beck set from last night. He's having fun!

Ahh man, that was a good set.

are these archived?

sad that no one posted in my place for Sundays set.

some of it is:

No idea why Beck's drummer is playing that busy beat during "Devil's Haircut".

NPR rap and r'n'b writer who remembers Outkast well is shocked for some reason that the kids at Coachella are not as enthusiastic and don't know all the lyrics

The funny thing about waiting 10 years between shows is that your fans get 10 years older, and everyone else has 10 years to move on/forget about you/be born/like something else. It's so weird.
