Made it to Lollapalooza! Solid trip highlighted by Arcade Fire, some good eats and a sunglass tan. I <3 Chicago!
Ended up watching sets by: New Pornographers, Neon Trees, Hot Chip, Lady Gaga, Strokes, Mornings Benders, Stars, Gogol Bordello, Spoon, Green Day, Phoenix, Dodos, Freelance Whales, Hockey and Arcade Fire.
If I had $250 that could only be spent on supporting Arcade Fire and their Partners in Health campaign, I’d get the signed DVD + poster pack above. Man, they make great posters.
Side note: Win Butler and I follow each other on Twitter. And so do Kareem and I. What more could I [...]
There’s no way I couldn’t mention the trailer for ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ since it features possibly my most favorite song of all time.
I really need UConn to win.
As if Barack Obama wasn’t already by far the coolest guy in the world at the moment, Arcade Fire and Jay-Z played at his staff party. CAN HE GET ANY COOLER??

Barack + Arcade Fire at his party + hardcore Blackberry user = KABLAM

That never happens with [...]
My first impressions of work:
#1 “YAY NO HOMEWORK!”
#2 “HOLY SHIT I’M SO TIRED”
Last weekend I had an 18 hour stay in Livermore. Bung and I missed our original flight to San Francisco so we had to take the next one 2 hours later. With time to kill, we went looking for dinner. The food options [...]
Heavy week of music for me. Yesterday I saw Voxtrot. Tonight I saw Arcade Fire at the Greek Theatre in LA and Friday I’m seeing Arcade Fire at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.
