Fuck Buttons ***Pitchforkmedia/Windish Agency ***Emo’s Jr. ***03.14.08 *** The seriousness that this UK duo exude is unlike anything ever seen or felt. The capacity crowd could have been, or maybe were on copious amounts of booze and/or drugs and their effects would not have been felt due to how loud (it was a good one)…

Lykke Li ***Pitchforkmedia/Windish Agency ***Emo’s Main***03.14.08*** Lykke Li and her traveling bullhorn made an appearance at a very early Emo’s. Or maybe it was just me. Either way, the group struck me as being very similar to Metric with a more dainty voice. Lykke Li-Tonight [mp3]
Lou Reed Tribute ***Fader Fort ***03.13.08 *** This evening was an evening to remember. All the sacrificing made by sticking around the Fort all day paid off and yielded higher than expected returns. I could have risked it all by leaving and attempting to come back, but I could see the lines outside snaking around…

N.E.R.D. ***Fader Fort ***03.13.o8 ***The Chad and Pharrell show was the finishing touch on what was already an epic day. To follow up a Lou Reed tribute was going to be impossible. So why not have some party starters hit the stage and light it on fire. N.E.R.D. – She Wants to Move [mp3]
Saul Williams ***Fade Fort ***03.13.08 *** I have to say that I liked his spoken word performance years ago when he opened up for the Mars Volta years ago. I haven’t listened to Niggy Tardust, but after seeing him perform various cuts from the album, I am curious. His cover of U2’s Sunday Bloody Sunday…
Birdmonster ***Fader Fort ***03.13.08 *** I just going to put this out there. Birdmonster is the most photogenic band I’ve ever shot. Okay. It’s off my chest and I feel better. Not that that’s going to take them very far, but their new material will. It’s a little more folky than what I’m used to…
Constantines ***Emo’s Proper***03.13.08 *** The early day conundrum. Eat lunch and sacrifice going to some early amazing shows, or fast until you have seen what you needed to see and eat something on the fly. We picked up my cousin at the airport and went directly to Emo’s for the star studded ARTS AND CRAFTS/ONION…
