Tomorrow night: The Black Angels opening for the Kills!
Was just musing that the non-U2 concert pickings have been quite slim lately, - well, at least concerts that don't conflict with U2! I WOULD'VE gone to LCD Soundsystem, Elvis Costello, and Eddie Vedder, plus seen The Strokes locally, had they not conflicted with U2 shows I am seeing.

The summer schedule around here is not looking as great as last years, but we'll see.
I heard the Schlitterbahn in Padre is like the sexually abused, freckled foster child of the one in New Braunfels.

And...the summer schedule really isn't as great as in the past few years around here. Only non-U2 show I had to look forward to was Soundgarden but once again, their NYC area dates clash head-on with U2 in Montreal...
BUT their date at Ottawa Bluesfest fits in very nicely as a side trip with Montreal for U2, so...I'm seein' them there.Chris Cornell better be having a good night that night, is all I have to say.
