Gorgeous video to go along with new stuff from Cate Le Bon.  Totally love this girl since I heard her on Neon Neon's "I Lust U" back in 2008.  Highly anticipated stuff, for me.

I was lucky enough to attend this awesome, sold-out, My Bloody Valentine show.  Their first Philadelphia show in almost 20 years.  I ended up going solo, but I actually kind of like being alone sometimes, so it wasn't bad at all and I sold my other ticket that I won to someone who really wanted it and ended up making a profit.

I guess what I liked most about it was that they weren't really playing to please, but in doing that, they were totally pleasing. 

For the record, I wore earplugs and came out of there not feeling totally pulverized.  Swans were louder.

I am totally seeing My Bloody Valentine tomorrow.  Definitely something blog-worthy.  I always found them to be as soothing.  Obviously, really loud.

The "Meh" List, Dan Style
Not Hot, Not Not.  Just Meh.

6.  Jews for Jesus
7.  Keep Calm Posters
8.  Doppelgangers
9.  "You're finding yourself!"
10.  Ned Ryerson



More "Mehs":
"My tooshie just exploded."
The word "tooshie."
The word "selfies."
The expression: "I am looking for a partner in crime."

I had a little dilemma this week.  I won tickets to see Jessie Ware in Philadelphia, then my friend won tickets to see Passion Pit in Atlantic City for the same night.  I decided to let the contest coordinators give the Jessie Ware tickets to someone else.  

It is always tough to choose between two things you like. I absolutely adore Jessie Ware, but I wanted to hang out with my friend, and Passion Pit is good (and not just because of all the positive Pitchforkmedia coverage), so I guess I'll see Jessie Ware another time.  Anyway, Passion Pit sounded really good...especially those synths.  Here's the setlist:
