It was a great year for concerts, I wish I went to more of em. I went to some by myself for the first time, it's actually kinda cool. My favorite shows were smaller venues, where I was on the floor, closer to the band


Kele Okereke at the end of Bloc Party show @ Warfield, Sep 22 2005

Top 5
1. Interpol @ San Jose Civic Auditorium

extremely fulfilling (hope to see them again soon), the timing of the show and how I started listening to Interpol was perfect, it's weird because I totally slept on Antics when it came out. Along with Turn On The Bright Lights, they are are up there on my all time favorite albums

2. Bloc Party @ Warfield

Bloc Party is bad ass live, Matt Tong for president hah

3. Nada Surf @ Bimbo's

kinda random because I liked their new album Weight Is A Gift just ok, it worked out because I discovered Let Go which is an amazing; cheapest show ($15); you can catch the trio Feb 23 @ Fillmore

4. Death Cab For Cutie @ Leavey Event Center/SCU

chill and mellow, I think the crowd kinda sucked but the band sounded awesome, took some of my best concert pics here

5. U2 Vertigo Tour @ Oakland Arena

super crappy seats, super awesome light show, and Bono rules

Notable
Download Festival @ Shoreline
most fun (basically because of friends I went with)

Keane @ Berkeley Community Theater
1st show of the year, it was cool

My Morning Jacket @ Fillmore
really good energy, just not that into MMJ

Coldplay @ Shoreline
