los amigos invisibles (saw them this summer...never have i danced so much)

Trey Anastasio
Elvis Costello
Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse
The Pixies (omg)
Sloan


..but i would definately go just to kill all of the members of The Killers.

Modest Mouse, The Killers, Cake, Ben Kweller, Howie Day, and Jack Johnson

Oooh, I would LOVE to see Neko Case. I love her album "Blacklisted." Shelby Lynne is great, too.

Asleep at the Wheel is pretty good and I'd see Ollabelle again (I just saw them last weekend at the IH).

Trout Fishing in America has always intrigued me.

Trey Anastasio
Elvis Costello
The Pixies
Big Head Todd & the Monsters
The Roots

If only the lineup could be JUST that.
