If I pull a 3.0 this semester my mother buys me a new car... and I REALLY want a new car

Ah, the dilemmas of the pampered college kid.

I was in love with The Killers a few years ago. I was downloading everything I could find before the first album came out, bought the first album, played it to death, annoyed my friends constantly throughout this period by giving them my headphones every 5 minutes going "listen to this!". So imagine my delight when I went to see them live to promote their first record. I went home very underwhelmed.

Some people tell me they have matured as a live band since. I dont know whether this is true or not.

I watched Dinosaur Jr at a festival and their guitarist seriously blew my ****ing mind. My friend was nagging me for ages to go round the part of the site with the stalls and the shops and I basically told her to shut up for ages (i dont care how tired I am at 3 day festivals, im there to fill my day with bands) until I couldnt take it anymore and we wandered off towards the very end of their set. As we got futher away from the stage they got quieter and quieter until I couldnt hear them anymore...but that dude was clear as ****ing day man, you could hear him ripping it up nowhere where you were. I could hear him while we were looking at stupid hats and inflatable chairs. Unbelievable.

In all honesty I'd heavily consider going if they released exam schedules earlier but at my university you sometimes don't find out when your exam is until the week of. I don't want to buy the ticket then find out two months later that I have an exam the next day at 9 AM.

I wish I could have seen Sun City Girls live, I could have ended up seeing something like this

or this

Both great performances, the former being at a sub pop festival.

I've missed many many good artists, I've just missed Deadmau5, I'm going to miss Yoji Biomehanika, Showtek and The Tidy Boys on Saturday

Jethro Tull - 3 months ago!!

I never had heard of them before the ad of the concert, it's always the case ... and now I really regret not going (and not knowing them earlier).

Clutch

I went to a friends birthday party instead of playing out or seeing Dethklok.

Our Lady Peace came to my town on the 4th of July and I went to see the fireworks instead.

I know. I suck.

Pink Floyd
Faith No More
Fantômas
Fugazi
Descendents
Dead Horse

All were touring at some point while I was a fan, some for many years, but I never went. Thought honestly when I was in high school and early college, I didn't go to that many shows. I wasn't keeping up with who was playing when. Many of my friends were into more mainstream stuff, and prior to that my parents had not allowed me to go to a show (Metallica, GnR, Faith No More) so in a way I didn't bother asking for a while after that.
