How the hell can these two bands fill Comerica? It looked to be about half full when Fleet Foxes opened for Bon Iver a few years ago and that was at Justin's peak of popularity. Seems like a Marquee show.

Beach House actually seems to have a really good following here (in fact, I'm going with a bunch of people I know who are die-hard fans of theirs). In fact, they played the Marquee on their last tour and it sold out, I believe (or close to it). So maybe they think that, combined with the growing mythos of Fleet Foxes, that they can pull a decent crowd there.

Also I'm not a huge fan of the Marquee itself, so I'm pretty thankful that it's going to be at Comerica.

I don't think either venue is great, but I HATE Comerica. Way too cavernous. The acoustics are horseshit.

I wish there were more shows at the Mesa Arts Center. But I know that for most bands the idea of playing Mesa is about as sexy as playing the Apache Junction Senior Center.

Saw The Clarks last night

Liar

I saw Mute Math, Bleachers, The Naked & Famous, and a few others last night. Fun show.

Martin Sexton in November.

St. Vincent in December.

Thinking about seeing Tim and Eric in September.,

I heard they have an awesome show. So, good job!

Tickets were a little more than I wanted to pay, but I'd love to see them.

I can't get enough of Decker.

I'm obsessed with On Cinema. I might like it more than Awesome Show. Gregg Turkington is otherworldly.

Yesterday I had over 4 hours driving so I listened to Father John Misty Pure Comedy and then the 2 Celebration Rock podcasts about and with JT. I did not like the album (too much Randy Newman and 70s piano rock). I much preferred listening to him talk than hearing the music. Not one song had any redeeming quality to make me listen again. And I owned a fucking Better Than Ezra record 25 years ago.

He's pretty amazing. I've never delved too deep, but one of my best friends is a huge fan and regularly plays me clips/segments.

Beck will be at Red Rocks when I pass through town. Should I?

I did this. It was cool. I've seen Beck several times, so this was all about the venue. Hiked to Emerald Lake in the afternoon, saw the show in the evening, drove to Omaha overnight.
