It's heating up!

Thank goodness!!!!! It's burning up here in Minnesota we are officially above 80! Laugh if you dare! I have a City Pages in hand and I've highlighted my concert to go to list! It's been a little slow here, a few good bands have stopped by that I didn't have the opportunity to see. Luckily the weekend is Rock the Garden! The summer concert for all of us longing "hipsters." Which is awesome for me since I live close enough to the park to be able to sneak an ear full! I know it's horrible but I was unable to actually get tickets... I'm excited to be able to hear the likes of Andrew Bird and The New Pornographers! They're not exactly my fave bands but still their all very good! There have been many great bands I had been pinning for coming here that are not. I'm sure next year there will be more. My musical knowledge has been flourishing, so I'm sure my taste will change. I've been an indie rocker for a long time. Oddly enough I had started really getting into folk and electronic/dance music. I despised both genres for a long time. After convincing myself to actually start reaching out more I found that I like them. I guess that's a good reason not to be so pretentious! I will still not listen to the mainstream crap though. I don't care how pretentious it sounds! I refuse to listen to top 40's! In other news I was given the opportunity of a lifetime.... I am going to the Pitchfork Music Festival! That one I'm not sneaking into! The lineup has pretty much rocked my socks since it was first posted. Although I will only be able to go to one of the third day event I could not be more excited! Let the music begin! I believe there is a concert I will be attending in the next week, so I'll let you lovely readers actually get a concert review finally! Enjoy your weekend and share the music experiences you loved! You know, I just love hearing new info on bands you love! I am a sponge and I will suck up your knowledge!!
