No no. I am not posting my up coming shows. Although maybe I should start selling tickets for others to watch me do what I do best. I could even change it up each night. Like Tuesday will be me staring at the computer until 11pm, taking a shower, smoking a fat bowl of bubba kush, taking a shot of bourbon and watching 90210 and the Hills. Wednesday would be a similar show except I’ll watch Modern Family. Thursday we’ll really change it up with NBA playoffs until 9pm and then laundry.

I’m gonna see if I can get my shows listed with ticketmaster, or at least live nation.

Here’s a list of the shows I currently have tickets for….or will get tickets as soon as they are released.

• Meth and Red May 7th NOS in San Bernadino
• MGMT Greek July 16th (have tickets)
• Jay-Z /Eminem Yankee Stadium Sept 13 (will get)
• Roger Waters The Wall (I haven’t decided if I want to see this in LA at Staples or in Las Vegas. It’s sometime in Nov)

That’s it. It’s a much shorter list than last year. Either music sucks right now or I suck and need to expand my horizons. The last time I tried that I saw trails for a week. It was a great week.

Jay-Z, Kings Of Leon, Weezer, The Flaming Lips Do Dark Side Of The Moon, Phoenix, The National, Dead Weather, She & Him, The Black Keys, Tori Amos, Japandroids, Regina Spektor, Dr. Dog, The Dodos, Neon Indian, Kid Cudi, The xx, Blitzen Trapper, The Melvins, Damian Marley & Nas, Mayer Hawthorne & The County, The Postelles, Gaslight Anthem, OK Go, Wale, Gwar, Rise Against, Norah Jones, They Might Be Giants, Medeski,  Martin & Wood, Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers, The Avett Brothers, Thievery Corporation, Manchester Orchestra, Dropkick Murphys, John Fogerty, Zac Brown Band, Tenacious D, Deadmau5, Dave Rawlings Machine, The Entrance Band, Martin Sexton, John Prine, Lotus, Local Natives, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Ingrid Michaelson, Baaba Maal, Punch Brothers, NeedtoBreathe, Bassnectar, Monte Montgomery, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rebelution, Jamey Johnson, Mumford & Sons

• 13 OutKast – Stankonia [La Face, 2000]
• 12 The White Stripes - White Blood Cells [Sympathy For The Record Industry, 2001]
• 11 Ghostface Killah – Supreme Clientele [Sony, 2000]
• 10 The Avalanches – Since I Left You [Modular/Interscope, 2000]
• 09 Panda Bear – Person Pitch [Paw Tracks, 2007]

• 04 Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot [Nonesuch, 2002]
• 03 Daft Punk – Discovery [Virgin, 2001]
• 02 Arcade Fire – Funeral [Merge, 2004]
• 01 Radiohead – Kid A [Capitol, 2000]

It seems like they got the artist right, just not the album. Then again I find myself thinking about an album pre 2000. Outkast’s Speakkkerboxx may beat out Stankonia and Blueprint 2 (and possibly 3) are better than the first one. Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm (their only good album) is missing from the list. In Rainbows should be there as well. Where is Aha Shake Heartbreak? That’s Kings of Leon at their finest. Eminem’s Slim Shady LP is MIA.

They did get one thing correct….

Arcade Fire’s Funeral is for sure one of — if not — the best album of the decade!

Kanye kills it. I’m still unsure about the rest of it.

AEG Michael Jackson Tribute Organizer:
“John, we would like for you to make retarded faces in honor of Michael.”

John Mayer:
“That would be great. In fact, I’m making some right now.”

John Mayer:
“What song would you like for me to sing?”

AEG Michael Jackson Tribute Organizer:
“Actually we don’t want you to sing, just make really retarded faces.”

John Mayer:
“Can I bring a guitar?”

AEG Michael Jackson Tribute Organizer:
“Sure.”

It’s been a while since Michael was actually the King of Pop. We’ve seen Usher, Timerberlake, Chris Brown all take the reins as the “king.” But when I think back to the Michael Jackson I loved growing up, it was this guy, pictured above. I once had a teacher tell me Michael Jackson “invented Rap.” While she was wrong in her chronological history, she was right about one thing. Michael Jackson made it cool to be “Bad.”

I stopped defending him after the second allegations. I watched the Martin Bashir interview and saw how crazy and displaced he was. He was so lost. I can go on and on about the Michael of the past 20 years…but there is no need. That wasn’t the Michael that touched the world (no pun). Michael left this world with a collection of music that will forever be cherished.  I think it is important that we set aside the drugging and raping of sick children (I’m sure Roman Polanski would agree) and take a few minutes to listen to Michael’s music. It will make you feel a little better.
