I’m missing Tortoise and I’m missing you guys, too.  So let’s pick out one or two other shows this month, so I can feel the love.  I’ve picked out some interesting things off ohmyrockness but if, say, you wanted to see X or Tears For Fears (no joke, I’m serious) at the Fair, I’d be game for that.

*Andrew Bird, 7/10.  I’m not all that crazy about him (I like Patrick Watson better for this sorta thing), but, y’know, maybe.  *Onieda, 7/12.  Fans of Tortoise would like these cats, I’m thinking.  *The Cowboy Junkies and Son Volt, I forgot to write down the date.  Y’know, for Chris Hoff.  *Jet, 7/17.  …..psyche!  You gotta read the now infamous Pitchfork reviews of Jet if you’ve never seen them.  Hilarious!  *Voxtrot and Giant Drag, 7/18.  Voxtrot is okay, but Giant Drag rules!!  Seriously, I love Giant Drag and this is a Saturday afternoon show at some place called Out of Asia, so that could be fun.  *The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.  Well, y’know, Pitchfork approved.  Awesome record; posted a vid of theirs a while back.  *Elbow.  A weak The National in my book, but I could stand a bit of dad rock…they’re quite good at that.  *Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, 7/25.  You’ve heard of this guy, eh?  *Grace Jones and Of Montreal at the Hollywood Bowl, on a Sunday night.. just think:  picnic baskets and weird sexual gender benders everywhere.  That’s Entertainment!  *Jarvis Cocker, 7/27.  C’mon, Pulp!  *Glasvegas, 7/28,29.  Well, NME approved and cool kid hated.  But I dig ‘em, so there!  *Crystal Antlers and Mika Miko, forgot the date again.  *Future of the Left and Japandroids, 7/31.  This will be a show for healthy young males to bash each other in the heads ‘n stuff.  So hopefully there’s a balcony section for me.

Mclusky – ‘Lightsabrecocksuckingblues’

(^^Falco’s of Future of the Left’s old band, right)

Giant Drag – ‘This Isn’t It’

Okay, so talk to me gang.  Whaddaya like here?  Or suggest something else.
