And Sunburned of course.

same.

animal collective were good. however, i was bored to tears during BYOP.

I didn't go early enough on that day to catch them, but I wasn't to bothered by it. Good to know they were boring. Some other people said they were real cocky and ostentatious (I used a vocab word!).

i don't know, they're just boring to me anyway.

Cat Power.

Because she's fucking Cat Power.

And also the Rebel, but for different reasons.

This summer had a lot of good shows. Some of the highlights:

Acid Mothers Temple, three times. The first two times as the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. incarnation (although that was technically in the spring), the third time as SWR with Ruins Alone as part of the Japanese New Music Festival.

Lightning Bolt four times. Twice with BOREDOMS. And, since that was so huge, it needs to be rephrased and stated again: BOREDOMS twice, with Lightning Bolt opening each time.

Shellac.

Sonic Youth twice (with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who I didn't really give a shit about.)

Comets on Fire, last night. They put on an insane fucking show. Total destruction! I walked out when it was all over stinking of beer and cigarettes and had other people's blood on me. Some of the openers included Vaz, Aa, and Ex Models.

And, tomorrow night I'll be seeing Boris.

So, someone uploaded Dead Billy, Racer X, and Cables on youtube. What was the 4th song they did?

Pigeon Kill.

yeah kegmama havnt you seen sonic youth about six times recently or something?

Radiohead

the brian jonestown massacre fucked me

Your summer is our winter so the best show I saw in the summer was Wolf Eyes with support from Grey Daturas, Heil Spirit, Rev. Kriss Hades and Onani.

I didn't have to pay shit cause i'm one half of Onani. I would put it in the top the nights of my life. Every act ruled.....even my band, Wolf Eyes even said so.

I didn't see any other international bands during the Australian winter, many good local bands though.

Sonic Youth
TOOL

It's technically still summer and I just saw POS. One of the most fantastic shows ever let alone this season.

Do they still have fights on stage? haha!

X and Rollins band. Zebulon Pike. Shellac.

yeah X & rollins band was really good.
