Using the wonders of Outlook Calendar I was able to determine where my Pickle was during 2007. My Pickle was at several great shows, most notably Silverchair, Chris Cornell and Band of Horses. 2007 was a great year for the Pickle's ears:

- My Morning Jacket
- Modest Mouse
- Silversun Pickups
- Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
- Silverchair
- Fountains of Wayne
- Wilco
- Bumbershoot
- Crowded House
- Gogol Bordello
- The Shins
- Rodrigo y Gabriela
- The Saturday Knights
- The National
- Chris Cornell
- Interpol
- Band of Horses
- WU Tang Clan

The sub-urban life called and I accepted. Yes we moved! My weekends are full of soccer, strip mall beer establishments and trips to Homedepot... scratch that; Lowes for "fun" home projects.

Amazingly I like it. It is comfortable, predictable and safe. I also makes me appreciate my trips into the non-sub-urban (not below a city?). These trips satiate my need to see live music. So far this year (2008) I have seen the following bands:
- The Bravery
- Black Mountain
- Yeasayer
- MGMT (twice)
- The Black Angels
- The Dandy Warhols
- Seaweed
- The Helio Sequence
- Pissed Jeans
- Fleet Foxes
- Low
- Mudhoney
- The Vaselines
- Iron and Wine
- Flight of the Conchords
- Grand Archives
- Kinski
- Foals
- No Age
- Comets on Fire
- Green River
- Wolf Parade
- Foo Fighters
- Radiohead

I should probably dig up my tix from 2007 and compare.... yeah that would make a good post.
