Hey! Yes, we are TPC fans, now and always! We still put ’em on and get pumped up. Tell your husband if he would like it, it would be cool if he knew. I think I remember seeing you at shows actually, (from a half a mob behind) long before I knew who the heck you were.

Lazerbeak and his other ventures are an interest to us because he’s awesomely talented. We love Doomtree and we liked Har Mar then he aligned with Lizzo, and then it unfolds. The Twin Cities rules.

It’d be cool if we finally crossed paths for real some time! We have tix for tomorrow and the rest, but unfortunately might have to give them to a friend for next weekend’s shows, sad! Have fun with the Doomtree awesomeness. If I see ya, I’ll say hi!

Ps. Though I love the New Pornographers, I’m guessing they’re maybe going to be too poppy for you. They fulfill a pop need for me, but lots of other bands, Hole, Pearl Jam, etc. among them are actually a rock-y-er place I usually abide.

Lori! That is so great, I love that you’re into those gardening posts. BTW, I totally sucked at getting a garden clean up post done this fall. I took all the photos, did all the work and then it snowed on half the country and I figured it wouldn’t help anyone now, probably too late.

That is so sweet that you and your husband share a love of music, it’s a good thing to share ;) Yes, Peej, they are so good!!! Everyone in my family is getting Pearl Jam records for christmas, fer real. I just saw that Patti is touring in January on the west coast, if I didn’t have so much going on then I would head out west to see her and catch some sun. Hoping she comes through the midwest sometime in 2015.

Ha, I kinda like that drive to Winnipeg, sounds like a fun time. Hopefully you were there before it got really cold.

Woah, Meghan. I had no idea, “an all-time-favorite”. That’s big, I’ll have to share this with Jeff, it will make his day. I like the New Pornographers new song that they play on the radio all the time, I don’t have them in my record collection at all, but I’m intrigued. Maybe it’s time I do that – especially with you and another reader sharing that they’re one of your favs. We love Lizzo too, and you probably know that Lazerbeak (aka Aaron Mader of TPC) does all the beats for the Lizzobangers. Holy Shit lady, the whole God damn Blow Out?? That is awesome. We will be there on the 5th and then again on the final night. Maybe we will actually run into each other for the first time??

Hey Lynn! Yes, Bruce is so good isn’t here? That is so so awesome that you brought your kids to the show, I hope they were able to enjoy it. I’m not sure I would’ve at that age. I wanted to go see BOC too, I have a secret love affair with classic rock jams. Sounds like you have a big variety of music you like to see live, that is awesome. What a diss on that Garth concert, that would’v been a great show to see, even just for the spectacle of it all. Thanks for reading the blog, I’m glad that people like you stop by :)

Oh man, going out on NYE sounds like a nightmare, you’d have to deal with all those super drunk people and then if you’re drinking, try and get a cab on top of it. Seeing Bob Mould would be cool though…

How could I forget Low?? I just drove all the way to Winnipeg to see them. And the Walkmen! I bet other must-sees will keep popping into my head all day.

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I originally started checking out your blog because of TPC (then I kept coming back because I love what you do here). They are an all-time favorite of me and my husband from back in our dating years. Going to shows is still a central part of our life, and a huge priority. We have quite a few bands that we’ll never miss when they come to town, that we’ll see back to back nights and that we’ll travel for. #1 on the list is Yo La Tengo. We’ve seen them lots, and traveled to Big Sur, CA and NYC to see them. We also saw them play back to back nights at the 400 Bar, when that was still a place. We also traveled to NYC to see Self early this year, when they played for the first time in about a decade. I adore the New Pornographers and never miss them. Same goes for Built to Spill, Architecture in Helsinki, Guided by Voices. I have been having a blast at all of the Har Mar Superstar shows, and fell in love with Lizzo as Har Mar’s CD release. We have tickets to the whole Doomtree Blowout, so I’m currently laying low and building up my strength to take in back to back nights of extreme high energy beats. It will be awesome.
