musings

Just looking at the upcoming concerts in iConcertCal, and it looks like this summer is one of the best summers for concerts ever. Check it out:

• July 27 – Metric
• August 5 – Nine Inch Nails
• August 15 – Radiohead
• September 5 – Tortoise
• September 5 – Spiritualized
• September 13 – The Dandy Warhols
• September 25 – My Bloody Valentine
• October 1 – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
• October 7 – Pinback

Now the $20,000 question – which ones to go to?

After a decade-plus long absence, the mighty My Bloody Valentine are back, and they’re playing in Toronto on September 25th! They’re playing the Ricoh Coliseum, which kind-of sucks – I almost always refuse to go to large venues to see concerts anymore. However, just as I made an exception when I saw Dead Can Dance at Massey Hall, I’m making one for MBV, because I don’t think there will be too many, if any, chances to see them again.

I’m actually giddy about this concert – I’ve loved MBV since I first heard “Isn’t Anything” back in 1988, but never got to see them live. Now, I finally get my chance.
