Flip a Coin

Sometime late last night after yesterday's post while I was aimlessly surfing the internet in between attempts to study, I realized that something had gone wrong, terribly wrong. Although it was always in the back of my mind, I had failed to notice the exact date of the T.V. on the Radio/Grizzly Bear show at the Showbox in Seattle. Turns out that it's the same night as the Cold War Kids show at Neumo's. After some initial disappointment and sulking I came up with the following fool proof plan: my friend and I both decided that we'd rather see TVOTR and Grizzly Bear (arguably one of the best bills to pass through Seattle this year) BUT we didn't want to subject ourselves to the ridiculous fees of Tickets West (although it's not quite the same abominable creature Ticketmaster is, it's still bad). So this is what we came up with: Drive down to Seattle, wait in line for TVOTR, if it's sold out head over to Capitol Hill and have a blast seeing Cold War Kids. Once again, my local hipster knowledge comes into play (see, 8/25 post), with deductive problem solving skills (I knew I was in college for a reason) I determined that if the TVOTR show is sold out, most of the Seattle area hipsters will be absorbed by the Showbox leaving Neumo's and the Cold War Kids show wide open -- damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.


In order to get my self psyched for both shows, I'm posting a sampling of mp3s from both bands, enjoy the fruits of my genius [all the stuff about me being smart is a joke by the way... please, never take me too seriously]
Option 1: TV on the Radio - 'Wolf Like Me'
TV on the Radio - 'I Was a Lover'
Bonus: Grizzly Bear - 'Lullabye'

Option 2: Cold War Kids - 'Saint John'
Cold War Kids - 'Hospital Beds'
Cold War Kids - 'We Used to Vacation'

I'll Let you know how the night pans out... P.S. I got my ticket for the Blue Scholars show at my school on Saturday, can't wait for that one either!
