Only halfway done with exams, if you can believe that shit.
After a drought of sorts, there've been leaks galore in the past couple of days- the new Futureheads, Sufjan, and Walkmen albums can all be in your mitts now if you look around hard enough. I haven't really had the time to give each of them a good listen, but here are some of the standout tracks thus far:
Tickets for the North American Radiohead shows went on sale this morning, and as would be expected, they sold out in -5 minutes, or thereabouts. Devoted fan that I am, I completely forgot, so now I'll either have to head to Bonnaroo, or hope more shows are forthcoming. Then again, there's always Ebay, but that's not gonna happen. Barely an hour ago I saw a pair of Philly tickets going for over $1100. 0_o
Once I fumble my way through this week's exams, there seem to be quite a few good local shows however, which should cushion the above blow somewhat. For starters, !!!, who I missed last time in '04, are returning to the Black Cat, as are Pinback. Georgie James, Dungen, Liars, Diplo, the Walkmen, and Prefuse 73 are also on tap, and Fort Reno should begin announcing dates any day now. There's a lot to look forward to, so for everyone in the middle of testing, good luck, and I'll see you on the outside.
