Datarock is AWESOME live and I really really need The Verve to do a secret show.

I have heard, from semi-reliable sources, that Flogging Molly is actually a lot of fun live.

I still don't love their music, though.

Haven't you heard the Curious George soundtrack? I mean, seriously -- JJ is going to f------ blow people's minds on Friday.

p.s. I agree with this post 100%. The Stone Roses and Pavement reunions would be pretty dope.
