I don’t understand why this continuously happens to me (and apparently, a lot of other TMTers). My friends rave and rave about a band live, and either I can’t make the show or the band doesn’t schedule one near my home. Case in point: The Faint. So, The Faint were on tour the entire summer, right? But, of course, I was told about the show after they already played. Then I hear the great news: "Hey, The Faint are going on tour this fall!" So I look up the dates, and just my luck: there is not one date on the East Coast. No New York City, no D.C., no Pittsburgh, nothing.

I give up. Life sucks. It’s over. Ugh, whatever. I guess I’ll just have to wait until the next tour to hear live versions of their weird-electro-pop tunes from Fasciinatiion.
