Final Exam Question: Is Googling Your Own Name Self-Indulgent? Discuss.

I learned something new today: Trent Reznor and his industrial band of troubadours (aka Nine Inch Nails) still exist AND are coming to town on July 31st. The show is at the MTS Centre and ticket information is TBA. (Side note: I wonder if they have a favourite colour?)

In related news...it is great to see Canada now has a major indie rock festival: "Pemberton".

The lineup includes:

• NIN
• Jay-Z
• Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
  
• Death Cab
• Interpol
• The Flaming Lips
  
• Vampire Weekend (yay!)
• My Morning Jacket
• Metric
  
• Fiery Furnaces
• DJ Shadow
• Mates of State
• Buck 65

And tragically, The Tragically Hip (I believe a Canada Federal law was passed stating all music festivals on Canadian soil must include The Tragically Hip on the bill). Plus many, many more talented indie acts.

Current rotation: Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
