Surfer Blood - I'm Not Ready (Live from Studio @ Webster Hall)
The Studio @ Webster Hall show was OK, but the show in the Ballroom (opening for the Drums) was AMAZING. They should have headlined.
Prince - Controvery
He didn't perform, but this was playing in Black and White when we walked in, and I liked it.

The Dismemberment Plan
Today might be the biggest day in my musical life because of this: http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/12469.aspx
Dismemberment Plan, which is my favorite band by far, is reuniting and playing the Black Cat in DC which might be one of my favorite venues, and I've seen them there in high school a number of times, but I never thought it would happen again. Needless to say I'm excited.
The Ice of Boston
Do The Standing Still
The City
Following Through
The fourth song is to make up for my absence here.
