Red Mosquito

Pretty random.
We were looking for something to do last Saturday in either Tijuana or San Diego.
We saw pretty decent priced tickets for Rod Stewart with Cheap Trick. And voilá.
Neither were on my bucket list but Cheap Trick was fun, and Rod Stewart's production was huge (flooring, backing band, dancers, LED screens, the works).
The dude is 78 and dancing around better than I can. He was also quite funny.

we saw Sleep Token a couple of weeks ago, great stuff

Just saw Pulp. Goddamn, that was great. An anti-Milei chant broke out in the middle of the show. It was very heartwarming

I saw a really good Brian Jonestown Massacre concert in October. Anton yelled at the crowd a few times but nothing as bad as the meltdowns he’s had during shows in the following weeks. This pathetic moment is from their most recent show when he fired one of his guitar players onstage. Incidents like this have always been part of his act but now he’s off social media and clearly off the wagon after years of reported sobriety. I fear it may be over for the band.

and yet Milei has basically been cosplaying as Jarvis Cocker for years

jesus christ

It’s sad really as it appears he needs to get help. A few weeks earlier while onstage in Oklahoma he made some ugly comments to the crowd saying something like, “I’m gonna blow you up like the Murrah building.” But hitting someone with a guitar and then running away like a coward is about a weak as it gets. The remaining few shows of the tour were cancelled.

Primavera Sound last weekend.

The Cure, The Killers, Pet Shop Boys, The Hives, Beck, Slowdive, Black Midi and Metric

I saw Godspeed You! Black Emperor on Monday for the fourth time. It was a bit surreal, as it was in the town I grew up in, a place I never imagined them coming to, and it's the first time I've recorded a show. They played a bunch of new material that's going to be on an as yet unannounced album that might be out in September.

I don't think I ever heard anything by The Drums but my friend is their current touring drummer so I got into the show for free. They were surprisingly good, their live sound was huge. Then I came home and played some of their tracks and they're pretty underwhelming.

Saw Broken Social Scene tonight. UGH what a great show. I think my recent feelings that I’m “over” going to concerts might have been a false alarm because goddamn that felt good.

It was pretty intimate - venue capacity is 900. I was front row, in any case.

I'd love to see BSS

Totally. Has anyone here seen them with Feist?

I've only seen them once, and it was about 20 years ago. But it was that classic lineup with Feist AND Emily Haines

This motherfucker.

Farmer John is way too cool to post on RM, but I'm glad he's here.
