Damn, I cannot wait for...

[ThePhenom07]

Basically, let's discuss what you are looking forward to in music. Gigs, albums etc, etc...

I can wait for Muse's new album in September, The Resistance. Considering I only started listening to them at the start of this year, I have the excitement of buying a NEW Muse album. *marks out*

[ADG]

Can't wait to see Blur live at T In The Park. It will be epic.

[supergrass]

This is probably the least I have looked forward to a Reading festival, four years running and its lost its appeal to be honest. But that aside I really can't wait to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs live. They're the only band that I love that I've never seen the live and will complete my current 'to do' list. So that's something to count down on the calendar.

[Mr Evil Guy]

The new Islands and Architecture in Helsinki are out this year. Caaaan't wait.

EDIT: Did some searching and now am stoked about The Dodos, Why?, maybe new Panda Bear, Band of Horses, Cocorosie, Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, Modest Mouse EP, Destroyer and to a lesser extent Arctic Monkeys.

Um, first and foremost, Bonnaroo 2010. It will be epic, for sure. I'm hoping some EWB'ers attend next year.

But, as for this year... "Option Paralysis" by the Dillinger Escape Plan, "Smash the Control Machine" by Otep, "The Incident" by Porcupine Tree, "Man on the Moon" by Kid Cudi and the new Between the Buried & Me album later this year.

I doubt I'll be going to anymore concerts this year, unless some bands I really enjoy tour around TN. I would go see Tool again in Atlanta, but it's too short notice for me now. Oh well. I think seeing the last NIN show in the US has pretty much made my year.

[Katsuya]

I can't wait for the new Scissor Sisters album. It's been rumoured to be coming out in the first half of 2009...which it hasn't...and there's been like, no news. So, yeah. I want them to hurry up, please.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

New Islands? Okay, I've got something for this thread now.

I'd also be interested in whatever Queen does now that they've parted ways with Paul Rodgers, unless it involves Adam Lambert.

[GoGo Yubari]

Can't wait to see Blur live at T In The Park. It will be epic.

I hate you.

Anyway, day three of Seattle's Bumbershoot music/arts festival has the potential to be amazing this year. I'm pretty sure that as long as the schedules don't kill everything I have the opportunity to see Franz Ferdinand, Metric, Mirah, Visqueen, and Champagne Champagne all in the same day and that should be amazing. Even if I only see three out of those five (preferably Franz Ferdinand, Mirah, and Visqueen if pushed to that) that's a good day of music right there. Plus Modest Mouse is headlining, which doesn't really blow me away but they could be fun to watch until I get bored and go home.

Plus, I'll probably see De La Soul two days prior to that, which should be awesome even if I'm going to have to take a couple hours off from being at PAX to see it.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Ooh, new Our Lady Peace in three weeks. There's another.

[New Damage]

New Alice in Chains should be good, sounds pretty heavy, but the main owns I'm really looking forward to despite the fact that they've barely if at all started work on them are new Faith No More and Limp Bizkit albums. I would've been looking forward to them even before Download but seeing how awesome they both were there just took it to a whole new level. Roll on 2010. ¬¬.

Same applies to Black Stone Cherry even though they're no where near doing a new album yet. Think Pearl Jam have a new one too, so that as well.

The inevitable Soundgarden reunion. I can just sense it's getting closer. ¬¬.

[Tarheels.]

Manchester Orchestra, Silversun Pickups, and Cage The Elephant in August.

Sunny Day Real Estate in October.

And I intend on Bonnaroo next year. The only reason I couldn't go this year is because it was on my graduation day

Last I heard it was supposed to be out shortly after Chester's... but, that's okay. I keep the list so that I can keep track, and that means changing dates when I hear new ones. Thanks.
