nothing beats an intimate live show

The line-up for Coachella this year is sick!  It sold out so quickly-  I am jealous of anyone who gets to go.  Though I have done the big festival thing and in general, apart from good music (that you rarely get anywhere near) it sucks.  I just have to remind myself of all the enjoyable shows in the past--- some where I was so close I was able to buy the singer a shot of whiskey.  Good times, good times:
Drag the River, Jimmy Eat World, Tori Amos, Henry Rollins, My bloody valentine, REM, voxtrot, au revoir simone, iggy and the stooges, stevie nicks, cursive, snowden, maria taylor, radiohead, the jealous sound, spoon, jewel, sarah mcclachlan, bad religon, NOFX, teenage bottle rocket, bright eyes, sonic youth, beck, cat power, the roches, the roots, moby, the faint, le tigre, the national, clap your hands say yeah, another day ruined, voice or no voice, tom petty, incubus, texas is the reason, rolling stones, ryan adams, vampire weekend-----plus, i know i am forgetting a few.
