A Day Late, A Dollar Short
Current mood: cranky
Category: Music
Around 1998 I got into the band Blur. I had been familiarwith their music, and had always liked them, but I hadn't bought anythingby them. This was right after the CD "Blur," and before "13."As I tend to do with things I get "into," I became totallyobsessed with them (and Damon Albarn in particular). Then, of course,they broke up. I never got to see them perform live.
So lately I've been discovering some of the UK & Canadian bands likeThe Arcade Fire, Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, Hard-Fi, etc. Today I decidedto look at the music listings in The Chicago Reader (local freepaper with great movie/music/entertainment listings) and whatdo I find but the listing that Arcade Fire has sold out all 3 showsat the Chicago Theater (May 18-20), and Arctic Monkeys' showtonight at the Riviera Theater is ALSO sold out. GODDAMMIT! And a fewof the bands mentioned above were just at Coachella last week! I hate being out of the loop! This is whatI hate about getting older.... Grrr....
