Speaking of the Thrills, should I go see them tomorrow night? I'm afraid I'll be the only one there. It's that kinda town.

And thanks for posting this. It's not coming my way this year.

 

[HelloAngel]

All I want to know is why the frick no Florida dates have been announced. If I don't see my PJ Harvey, I'm gonna

 

[joyfulgirl]

Let's together.

But surely PJ will do her own tour soon.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I need to go to this!

More importantly, I need someone to go to this with!

 

[HelloAngel]

 

[IWasBored]

I'm afraid I'll be the only one there. It's that kinda town.

haha, i know the feeling.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm sure they'll announce more dates. They did about 2 to 3 times as many shows last year.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

WOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

August 9 and 10...I'm SO there!

Wow, my Le Tigre girls, plus Morrissey, Sonic Youth and PJ Harvey.
I'm going to go jump up and down a few times!!!!!!!!

 

[zoney!]

Y'all should come to Chicago!

I do not care where I am this summer...I will be there for this.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

I will be going to Chicago this summer...however I will be seeing this show in MY neck of the woods.

 

[zoney!]

pfft.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

OK, so looks as if I either have Chicago or Cleveland....

I'll stop inviting myself to concerts now.

 

[Sweet Tart]

i can't wait.

i really wnat to see elbow so bad. and ive missed the thrills mroe times than i care to mention. an d morrissey and brmc will be gret to see too.

 

[u2popmofo]

Apparently the so called 'Pixies' are going to play a couple of the dates now too.

 

[zoney!]

did you read the article above?

 

[u2popmofo]

Obviously not.

 

[HelloAngel]

Wilco has just now been added for a couple dates. Somewhere, millions of heads are exploding from the hipness that this festival has become.

If I miss Lolla again this year...

 

[DiGi]

The DC / Bmore area is always open for a music gathering

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

hmmmmmm

I soooo wanna go.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Oh wow...guess I'll have to go to both shows now since Wilco will definately be playing the second day in Cleveland.

 

[zoney!]

it is a Two-day event this year....

 

[jkayet]

...that I MUST attend. Preferably when the pixies are as well. Although I'd get morrissey & elbow regardless...

 

[zoney!]

so, I am thinking this through here....I am not sure if day two is worth it.

Pixies are only playing NY, I think. Elbow isn't playing every city. I really want to see Flaming Lips, but I have a good feeling I will have that chance at SOME POINT in my life. Polyphonic Spree and TVonRadio would be "neat" - but I really don't know. SO...now the question is...WHERE? and, Do I take a day off from work???

 

[jkayet]

WAIT - where is elbow NOT playing? I HAVE to see them...I need to investigate this some more.

*edited b/c I looked - they are playing both MD and NYC.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Got my tickets today!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CampbellMSU]

anyone else going to aug 2/3 in detroit? it's unfortunately a monday and tuesday....

 

[Sweet Tart]

i'm kinda disappointed that i won't get to see basement jaxx.

that would have been great

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Just bought my tickets!

Sis, you're so lucky.... PJ's not playing in Detroit.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

So you got tix for Detroit?
