Eating Apples

CMJ is coming up. Kelsey and I have train tickets to NYC (no tickets back, yet) for the event. I still haven't looked at who is playing. I will do that now...

Here is who I want to see...

(International) Noise Conspiracy
Aloha
Ambulance LTD.
Aqueduct
Arcade Fire
Atmosphere
Bang! Bang! (Chicago)
Beans w/Holy Fuck
Blues Explosion
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Canasta (Chicago)
The Dandy Warhols
Detachment Kit (ex-Chicago)
Die Warzau (Chicago)
Doves
Feist
Head of Femur (Chicago)
Mass Shivers (Chicago)
Nashville Pussy
New Pornographers
Of Montreal
Saturday Looks Good To Me
The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir (Chicago)
Son Ambulance
Suicide Girls
This Is Me Smiling (Chicago)
Yakuza (Chicago)

That's the most bands I've ever wanted to see going in to CMJ. I probably won't be able to see the bands I've wanted to see for the longest time, The Dandy Warhols. They're playing CBGB's at 11pm on the first night. The place can only hold a few hundred. Damn. This is another reason I'll be happy when the place closes. The owner is trying to make it seem like he can't afford the rent. He can. The place makes more then $2 million each year just on merchandise.

I'm getting off track. In addition to the bands, there is the film festival. This year, "Walk The Line" is getting a screening. The movie better be amazing. If not, I will bitch about it for the duration of the trip. I apologize in advance.

I'm still sick. I've been coughing up dark phlegm for a good amount of the morning. I feel better, all the liquid that has been in my head is now escaping through my nose and mouth.
