I seem to end up at The Warfield the most, though The Fillmore is giving it a run for its money. I don't know that I'll ever return to The Great American Music Hall - not because of sightline or shitty mix, but because when I saw Lucero there, THREE different audience members jumped up onstage FOUR different times (one was a repeat). Worst. Security. Ever. Have they never heard of Dimebag Darrell? (Also, it takes forever to get a beer there.)
Danger's my birthright.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
My last arena show was Leonard Cohen.
Before that depends on how you're defining arena. Possibly also Leonard Cohen, but if the WaMu theatre doesn't fit, then it's all the way back to the first MCR show I went to, which was some sort of multi-band deal including Gnarls Barkley.

Oh, and the Showbox SoDo is also where I wind up most.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My Chemical Romance has released a new arrangement of Sing as a fund raising effort for the people of Japan. At the website you can check out the video and find various ways to contribute to the campaign.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think the last arena show I saw would have been Muse. Or possibly Green Day. But if you're talking giant outdoor festival, then Radiohead.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Bowie fans! His unreleased 2001 album Toy has been leaked. Details here.
In short, it's him re-recording a number of his pre-Ziggy era songs.
Link here.
My guess is that Bowie himself let it loose because he figured it wouldn't get out otherwise, and he was tired of releasing bits and pieces as "exclusive tracks" and b-sides.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My guess is he released it because he loves me.
I mean, us.
