    doh  I know. I should have added Stars. Funny enough that shot was taken at a Stars show (Diamond Rings were opening). Maybe it’s just not the same with them any more. I did though have a funny nostalgic experience with the Stars and amazon.com the other day (they keep a *really* long history of your CD purchases it turns out. But that story could be worth a post on its own.
