OK, my friends are pissed. I told them Malkmus/MWainwright was playing here in LA in July...t'was on Tuesday. Too many great bands (Tues nite had Wilco, Doves, Malkmus and someone else all on the same nite. whoa.) this summer for my checkbook and too many for this old brain to recollect. So as a favor to you, we'll again go thru the list. ;-)

Maximo Park
Built to Spill
Malkmus (OK, now it's in December, fookin hell)
White Strips
Liz Phair (acoustic)
The Wrens, Broken Social Scene et al are playing PF in Chicago so does this mean they'll be dropping by our hometown too or do I gotta go to Chicago?)

Ryan Adams, maybe
Coldplay, maybe

And here I canna remember about a dozen more. MUST build a gig guide calender on the old home computer!

PS Is Alkaline Trio worth a visit?

Remind us who's playing and what are yer must see shows of the summer! so I don't get shunned from my community again....my friend Lex thinks I ought to wear a big SM across my chest for a week. *shrugs*
