Pearl Jam is playing Madison Square Garden again! This time I think I might get some tickets to see them live. They are band I always wanted to see live so I think now’s a good chance to do that. Especially when Band of Horses are opening! We’ll have ticket sale links when they are posted on TicketBastard. The band announced today that they will play Midwest and East Coast tour dates in May of 2010. The tour kicks-off on May 3rd at Sprint Center in Kansas City and wraps on May 21st at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Pearl Jam’s U.S. tour follows the band’s previously announced headlining appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation Festival on May 1st.

Band of Horses will release their third full length LP, entitled Infinite Arms on May 18th through 3 various record labels: Brown Records, Fat Possum Records and Columbia Records. I guess that solves the which label are they going to release the CD on? This has been one of the most anticipated albums of the year for me so I hope it lives up to their last 2 albums. the album cover artwork will feature the photography of the band’s long time collaborator Christopher Wilson.

A new season of Yo Gabba Gabba (that trippy weird kids show co-created by the Bat Commander of the Aquabats) commences within a week! There are a load of people appearing on the show (for some reason) and some of them include: Band of Horses, The Aquabats, Anthony Bourdain, Of Montreal, Mos Def, Devo, Sarah Silverman, and Weird Al Yankovic. I’m curious to see what these people will be doing. I’m sure YouTube will have clips of their embarrassment.

I did not do much planning for Lolla this year. Having attended since it’s re-inception in 2005, I decided to just pick out a few key bands and go with the flow for the most part. I’m glad I did because this was truly one of the best fests, which is saying a lot. Every year, Lolla gets a little bigger and one truly gets bogged down by day two. Unfortunately, I’ve missed a few great performances in the past due to impromptu naps. And I usually end my days with, “I’m never coming back. This is my last year doing this.” And every year Perry Farrell and co. have a knack for luring me back with their artist line-up. This year my key choices were Lou Reed. One thing I’ve learned about Lolla is that nothing turns out as you plan.
