The Rosewood Thieves, Thrift Store Cowboys, The Dead Trees, & Amanda Shires @ the Hi-Dive tomorrow night. Yeah, I'm going to be there.

Phew. Done! The interviews will be posted over this week and be done by the weekend. But man, I didn't think I'd get the wrap ups done by today. too much to do too little time. Now to bed!

Monolith Music Festival 2009 Wrap-Up: The Mars Volta

The Mars Volta were undeniably talented. They were the most talented group of musicians as far as ability and showmanship goes that I have seen in recent memory. These things can never be taken away from them. But the whole thing came off as a little masturbatory, so I ended up leaving before the encore. I like their music ... for the most part ... but I just couldn't handle the live show and the fans. Maybe it was just the people around me, but there were some very disrespectful people around me. I don't think I'd see them again.
