Got to thinkin'

Bands I want to see perform before they (or I) die:

Beastie Boys
PJ Harvey (preferably cover to cover "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea")
Animal Collective
St. Vincent
Radiohead
Interpol
Arctic Monkeys
Mos Def
Phoenix
A REAL Broken Social Scene set
Sleater-Kinney (reunion tour?)
Fleet Foxes
Hercules and Love Affair
Stars
Band of Horses
Kings of Leon (you heard me)

Thoughts?

I saw PJ Harvey around 1995- maybe with Tricky as the opener? Really good. Beastie Boys were old and lame by the time I saw them, late 90s.
Mos Def kept a Philly crowd waiting about 10 years ago- they put on "The Score" to entertain us, twice, and then started pulling kids up on stage to freestyle until he got there. The excuse was "traffic".
Man I am just shitting on your dream shows!
I saw Sleater Kinney towards the end of their run and they were amazing!
I think I cried real tears the last time I missed out on Radiohead. They are the only band that I want to see that I haven't. Oh yeah and Lush.

A veritable shitstorm! No, it's cool. Mos was in Philly like a week ago and I missed it. St. Vincent and Wild Beasts are playing tomorrow night! Working. I'll be sure to get to the soonest and closest Lush and tell you how terrible it was.
