RADIOHEAD - somewhere, sometime.

I've already seen Dan Deacon, St. Vincent, Cut Chemist, Foo Fighters, Vampire Weekend, and Justice. They were all superb performances, and I highly recommend each.

Judging by this list, it would seem that 2008 is shaping up to be a good year. Hopefully, I'll catch a bunch of these, but I'm definitely attending the Bodies of Water and Jens Lekman shows. This will also be the first year I've saved up for Coachella, pending a legitimate line-up.

What shows are on your horizon? Any must sees?
