Today Rachel called me. Shortly after the "hey what's up", "what are you doing", "i haven't been outside all day today" conversation was over, she invited me to go see Spoon on Wednesday. Spoon the band. Now Spoon was pretty much the biggest draw for me when we went to Sasquatch, and when I missed most of their set I was pretty bummed, so I'm really excited for this. I only discovered them a year or so ago (and by discovered I mean a burned copy of two of their CD's was placed in my hands) and I adore them, especially their album "Gimme Fiction", it's excellent. It it at the Showbox in Seattle which I have never been to, and even with all the taxes and stuff it's only like 22 bucks. I am always surprised when bands that I've heard of and really like either play small venues or have cheap tickets. I guess I always just assume that if I've heard of them they must be a pretty big name, apparently I know more obscure bands than I thought!
In other music related news, AS pop music is ALREADY lining up incredible shows for this year and the school year has not even started. So far on the list that I'm incredibly excited for:
Jimmy Eat World (perhaps my favorite band while in high school)
Presidents of the United States of America (another fave in high school, I was one of about three people who even knew they had more songs than Peaches)
Iron and Wine (a new favorite)
Minus the Bear (they were here last year also, I don't think I'll go again, I have bad associations with them, I was dumped the night of their show! haha)
Kudos to Hunter and Victor, such incredible music these last couple years!
