Another list

I love lists. They are a quick and dirty way to write something without really having to say much. So expect to see a few lists in the next little while, summarizing this past year.

Here is a list of shows I saw this year, in chronological order:

1. Arcade Fire, at the Melkweg, Amsterdam
2. Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, at Paradiso, Amsterdam
3. Arcade Fire, featuring Final Fantasy, at Paradiso, Amsterdam
4. Magnolia Electric Company, at Paradiso, Amsterdam
5. Broken Social Scene, at Paradiso, Amsterdam
6. 13 & God (The Notwist vs Themselves), at Paradiso, Amsterdam
7. Stars, Secret Machines, Black Mountain, The Dears, Hayseed Dixie and Death from Above 1979 at the Metropolis Festival, Rotterdam
8. Next week: Sigur Ros, at Paradiso, Amsterdam

And while we're at it, a much shorter list of the movies I saw in the theatres this year:

1. Star Wars Episode III
2. War of the Worlds
