furnace music frustration

OK, so I was going to write about how we haven’t had heat all weekend because our furnace is busted, but if there’s anything that gets me all fired up more than being cold, it’s all the concerts that are coming up next-fucking-week!!!

ok, the anxiety starts next tuesday the 11th:
I’d love to see Sigur Ro’s at the State Theater, but far more likely to be within my price range is Tahiti 80 at the 400 bar.

wed:
Haujobb, this awesome German techno group is playing at the Quest.

thurs:
nothing I want to see, although I know people who would want to see both Blues Traveler and GNR (Guns N’ Roses).

Fri:
FUUUCK. I gave up my opportunity to get tickets with Laura to see Ani Difranco (which is probably fine with me) because I thought I’d be seeing Peter Gabriel, but his tickets are $40 for the CHEAP seats. So screw that. Then I found out Lords of Acid is also playing that night… but I just found out their tickets are $23. Grrrr. I’ll probably stay home and save money.

Sat:
I have a party to go to, so I’ll probably miss this one too, but I’d love to see Beth Orton at the Fine Line.

Sun:
I will most definitely cough up $10 to see Lali Puna in the 7th Street Entry, so at least the week ends on a good note.

The agony of this post brought to you today by The Twin Cities Alternative Shows List. Damn you for being so good and comprehensive!

PS. I feel I should also mention the Leslie Ball/Artists Emergency Relief Fund Benefit concert that is tonight, and again on wed. The one on wed is not a concert so much as a cabaret, and is also the one I’d more likely want to see. Unfortunately, I’ve had plans for this wed for a couple of weeks now, or else it’d totally be worth the $25. Wed is also the Halo Effect CD release party, which I would be interested in seeing, because I saw the lead singer play something solo at Balls last Sat, but alas, tis not to be.
