Capitol Hill Block Party - Seattle, WA

Highlights:
StarCINECAST!er - lousy name, but a lot of fun.
Pica Beats - getting better and better.  Decemberists comparison will soon fade.
Pains of Being Pure At Heart - exceptionally catchy shoegaze-y pop.
The Thermals - great show.

Meh:
Built To Spill
Deerhunter
Pela - actually, more than meh, not a fan. 

Missed:
Japandroids
Truckasaurus
Sonic Youth

I probably should've made some effort to actually see them.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Nope, they've mostly abandoned the 90's, we got 2 tracks from Achtung each night (One + Until the End of the World / One + Mysterious Ways) and that was it.  Shame cuz its their best period. Night 1 had 4 tracks from Unforgettable Fire thought which was amazing: Title Track, Bad, MLK & In the Name of Love (which I'm 100% tired of).

Not especially. About an hour away, I think. Maybe two. I still could've made the effort, though.

I like U2 and I would love to see them live but not in this capacity.  Especially since their new album blows. 

David Byrne is right.  They're becoming ridiculous with their staging and all of that shit.  Is it really worth all that money to pay for something that bloated? 

I'm sure the visuals are great but it's also kind of ridiculous.  It's as if they're trying way too hard to be the best band in the world.  They just don't get it.
