Ok, so in the interest of paying off my credit cards sooner (no pun), I am planning on restricting my concert ticket purchases for the remainder of the year to the following bands, if they come to the area.
Grizzly Bear
St. Vincent
Art Brut
Amanda Palmer
Animal Collective
I will, of course, make exceptions for bands that are exceedingly unlikely to play anywhere near here, e.g. Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, IAMX, etc.
