It would have to be a pretty special band to get me out to the dreaded Sound Academy for the always dreaded all ages show. But when the band in question is Broken Social Scene (whom I haven't seen for about two years now,) well, one has to set aside his own personal beefs and put forth the effort to be there.

The Cool Kids One thing Outside Lands seemed short of was some of the more rap and hip hop artists and electronic DJs selections. Unlike Coachella with its expansive electronic dance tent and Lollapalooza with an assortment of hip hop artists and dance stages, this festival was for the most part a lot of white folk and rock artists (even some forgotten ones- like Cake anyone?)- save a token rap...

I think I'm even more incoherent now than I was after the Raconteurs, but I can't sleep so I figured I'd do this while I'm still on that concert high.- Oh. My. God. If you haven't seen Broken Social Scene yet this year, do it. ASAP. Seriously. It's well worth the ticket price/gas money/plane ride. In fact, it pays dividends.- Land of Talk opened. Elizabeth Powell is great, especially on the gui...

Ahhh, covers. Love 'em. Especially when a great band (local even) cover one of my all time favorite songs. That's what we've got with Broken Social Scene doing their rendition of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" for The Time Traveler's Wife soundtrack (Library Girl says the book sucks).Hear it for yourself (courtesy of Sound Verite):"Love Will Tear Us Apart"- MP3Broken Social Scene's
