Oh, also, forgot to mention:
Five O'clock People, one of the greatest indie bands of all time, (as rated by the universally accepted "Tim's obviously superior taste in music" scale, defined in "AESSSS standard 42.b&c, digital audio miscommunications protocols" J.Aws.Soc.bams. 37 (2008), the dusty one sitting in the corner of the student lounge, on the lower right margin of page 1024), just came out with a new CD.
Freshman year, first week at college, I didn't want to shell out the $5 dollar cover charge for a gig they had in the gym at Penn State. Myron drug me kicking and screaming the whole way. I still maintain it was the best live show I've ever seen - depressingly so. No pumping lights or expensive equipment - they just sounded so darn good. I can't figure out how people with 300x the budget, pumping lights and professional roadies can't touch how just plain good they sounded. Anyway, in addition to Jacob's blog, enjoy the music.

One correction: The Five O'Clock People concert was in the SPU gym, not the Penn State gym. But yes, it was an amazing show. Although, I don't think I'd rank it as the best concert I've been to. Here's my rankings of best shows I've been to:
1. Nickel Creek - September, 2001, Paramount Theater, Seattle.
2(tie). Five O'Clock People - the show you just mentioned.
2(tie). Sigur Ros - September, 2005, Paramount Theater, Seattle.
4(tie). U2, Vertigo Tour - April 2005, Key Arena, Seattle.
4(tie). Sufjan Stevens - Two shows which were equally amazing, and I forget the dates :(. One was at Neumo's and the other was at the Triple Door, both in Seattle.
Yeah my bad... PSU, SPU, what's the real difference anyway
