Yes, THAT The Blow is playing in Lyon the week I'm gone, on Lulu's birthday.

It's fucked up. M.I.A., LCD Soundsystem, The Blow, Mirah, Giant Sand, Prefuse-73, etc., etc., are

all playing around western Europe while I'm there, in many of the same cities, but due to schedule

mismatch, I'm not going to see any of them. C'est la vie.
