Boston knows it's my birthday this week so it's decided to treat me to a thousand shows I've been aching to see forever. Get out your calendars and book your flights. This is the part of the program where JT becomes a squealing fourteen-year-old:
- J. Mascis and the Fog - 2/21, the Middle East
Awww. And on my birthday, too. - Blonde Redhead - 2/26, Paradise
Omigod! For real! A Japanese chick and Italian twins, all for $12! How can you go wrong? - Interpol and the Raveonettes - 3/06, Avalon
Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights is definitely one of my top five of the year. I have not slept for a month in anticipation for this show. I swear. - Theramin Karaoke - 3/07, the Middle East (!!!!!)
- The Frames and Josh Ritter - 3/07, Paradise
The Frames are one of my favorites. I can't believe they're playing with Josh Ritter. A two-fer, double-whammy to the heart. - Folk Implosion - 3/18, the Middle East
Oh, Lou. *sigh* - Cursive and Minus the Bear - 3/24, Somerville Theatre
Minus the Bear is a fantastic bunch of guapos from Seattle. I recommend them highly. I haven't seen them play out before, so I'm excited to see what transpires. - Pinback - 3/26, the Middle East
I'm as addictied to Blue Screen Life as caffeine. In fact, the two often go hand in hand. After listening for a while and making up my own words, I decided to check the official lyrics, and was both surprised and disturbed. You would be, too. - Jump, Little Children - 4/03, the Middle East
Because this is my Favorite Band on the Planet (the Catherine Wheel notwithstanding, of course) I will engage in my quarterly Jump, Little Obsession Tour, hitting the Cambridge, Providence and NYC shows. I will admit I'm a little pissed off that they booked at the bowling alley formerly known as the Middle East because they've played Paradise for the past five years. Arg. Double Arg. - Spoon - 4/08, the Middle East
Nefariouis. - The Sea and Cake - 4/22, Somerville Theater
I'll save you a seat.
