So, who are we all seeing this Summer?

I'm pretty exhausted seeing 3 shows in less than a week, but would have it no other way!

Sat 7/15 - Dramarama & Sponge (with other bands all afternoon long) - I love Dramarama ("Anything, Anything", "Work for Food") and see them practically every summer at a club that's half opened up to the beach so everyone's scantily dressed. Always a great time! Only stayed for 2 Sponge songs, luckily they played one of their hits first -- I think it was "Plowed (Say A Prayer for Me)"

Sun 7/16 - Paul Simon - One of my favorite singer/songwriters, and the third time I've seen him. Once was the first Simon & Garfunkel reunion (1993) and the other his concert in Central Park (1991). Great as always, but didn't compare to the previous times I've seen him.

Wed 7/19 - Bon Jovi - Just to make Bethie jealous. :p I'm a sucker for his pop/rock music, and he has a great band. They played for over two hours last night, probably because the night before was shortened due to rain/lightning. Nickelback opened, but we only caught the last 2 songs since we were tailgating. One of the few concerts I've seen with 50,000 some-odd people at Giants Stadium (incl. the 1992 Guns 'n Roses / Metallica tour, and I think Elton John at one point).

Still to come...

Wed 8/2 - Soul Asylum - In a small club on the shore. Ex-Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson should be back in time for this show (he's currently, and oddly, also bassist for what they are calling Guns 'n Roses these days)

Thu 8/31 - Violent Femmes - Loved them since my college days and couldn't pass this up. At the same club as Soul Asylum.

...and hopefully more!
