    Two bands that I've seen in the recent past that have opened for bands I love:

    Mt. Desolation (two members of Keane that have branched out)

    The Dodos

    And Pandora keeps sending me gems like "You Can Tell" by the Bears. "Welcome Home" by Radical Face

    You want to talk about guilty pleasures..........

    I love JOURNEY!!!!

    I mean, don't get me wrong - I certainly don't listen to it for it's profound lyrics. But, I feel like it's the mother of all guilty pleasures. I'm not ashamed.....

    Yeah I don't even remember how I came across them, but I saw them in concert and they were FANTASTIC live. And I haven't listened to Stars in soooo long! Sometimes you just forget about good bands.

    Or just move to the west coast when I move next year and we can go to ALL the good concerts. There's only a few good ones up here. Or I'll come to the east coast at some point because that's the only place Jeff Mangum will play! :sad: And I have to see him before he stops touring...

    The King is Dead is fantastic. Hazards of Love, for the pure rock opera story telling, though, is in my opinion their best. But my favorite SONG is "The Island-Come & See/The Landlord’s Daughter/You’ll Not Feel The Drowning." I could (and sometimes do) listen to it 5 or 6 times in a row.

    My friend DRAGGED me to their final concert in Seattle. Makes me wish I'd learned of them much sooner.

    And I know we said Radiohead, but Thom Yorke? Gotta give him credit for his solo stuff.
