This summer had a lot of good shows. Some of the highlights:
Acid Mothers Temple, three times. The first two times as the Melting Paraiso U.F.O. incarnation (although that was technically in the spring), the third time as SWR with Ruins Alone as part of the Japanese New Music Festival.
Lightning Bolt four times. Twice with BOREDOMS. And, since that was so huge, it needs to be rephrased and stated again: BOREDOMS twice, with Lightning Bolt opening each time.
Shellac.
Sonic Youth twice (with Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who I didn't really give a shit about.)
Comets on Fire, last night. They put on an insane fucking show. Total destruction! I walked out when it was all over stinking of beer and cigarettes and had other people's blood on me. Some of the openers included Vaz, Aa, and Ex Models.
And, tomorrow night I'll be seeing Boris.
