Hey, I'm going to San Antonio, TX sometime in August; does anybody know where to find a good concert listing for the area? I know that Rocky Votolato is playing somewhere around there on Aug 18th, but that's all i could find so far.

Look for the San Antonio Current (they have a website also)

or look for the Edge magazine

both of those can be found at locations such as Hogwild Records (located on Main Street, next door to the Sanctuary) or at Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc...

Someone (July 19, 2006)

Rocky is all you need, you lucky, lukcy man.

either blood and chocolate or king of america. i'm always torn between those two.

sXenester (July 19, 2006)

this year's model is solid but overrated...

King of America is up there, but right now I'm going with When I Was Cruel and the Delivery Man. Seriously, Delivery Man is not only a return to for for Elvis, it's just a fucking solid roots-rock album.

sXenester (July 19, 2006)

fuck yeah, emphatic about that.

This Years Model is my favorite too.

iconoclast (July 19, 2006)

they are a good band. i happen to think plans is their best album yet. well, at least the most consistent. their other albums have some damn good songs, but also lots of crappy ones.

allison_le_gnome (July 19, 2006)

Wrong.

Someone (July 19, 2006)

If Death Cab is indie rock, than indie rock is really boring pop music.

SalsaShark (July 19, 2006)

I recently found a Ben Gibbard cover of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and he sucked all the fun out of it.

I sort of got in to them, but this song does fucking rule. Even punks with black hearts should love this song.

AlmostPunkEnough (July 19, 2006)

i thought it was supposed to cool down after a goddamn monsoon type storm hits. i see tree branches and shit down everywhere, i had to step over a lake to get to my car, yet it's still miserable.

I just got power and cable/internet back. We had a crazy storm (the same one?) yesterday- it dropped 21 degrees in 15 minutes- and I was sure it would go out again, but the power held and the cable only went out overnight.

AlmostPunkEnough (July 19, 2006)

yea, probably the same storm, but it only dropped mabe 5 degrees here.

danperrone (July 19, 2006)

accidents will happen and oliver's army are the best

Someone (July 19, 2006)

damn it. I had tickets to go to this fucking tribute show. It was in atlantic city. But then something came up and I couldn't go. I have seen costello twice live man if you havn't you better get out there and see him, he's sick.

is it something he ate?

Someone (July 19, 2006)

Anyone else think it's realy dumb that they are playing one of their own songs at a tribute show? Fucking death cab.

I saw Elvis Costello at Bonnaroo this year and he ws awesome. death cab for cutie were there but there's no way I'd sit through that shit.

Someone (July 19, 2006)

If you go to the VH1 page there's live clips. Billie Joe looks a little embarrassed to be singing "Am I just stoned?" with Elvis. He's singing with one of the great songwriters of our time and the hook of the song is that? I found it comical.

ps. I love Dookie.

WorryRock (July 19, 2006)

Green Day
