What are the 10 most memorable music performances you've seen? (Remember, "memorable" may not be good.) 
Submitted by Bill. 

Fun!

This is a hard question but let me see if I can do it.

Kristin Hersh at the Iron Horse in Northampton.  I met her after and it was my 21st birthday.

AC/DC,  first concert, so it was memorable.

Lollapalooza 1994.  We ended up in a massive traffic jam, almost missed the show because they kept blocking exits on the highway.

Nirvana, mainly because I won't ever get to see them again.

Wilco,  I know this isn't supposed to be about how good the concert was, but damn this was an excellent show.

Yo La Tengo,  it was general admission at the Somerville Theater and we were in one of the first rows, so mellow and wonderful.

Radiohead at Suffolk Downs.   Beautiful skies. 

Grateful Dead, Boston Garden.  Okay, I did not get in to the show, but the outside party was pretty crazy.

Sleater Kinney, The Shins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and a whole bunch of other awesome bands, Coney Island, it was hot, and really a great place to see an outdoor show, plus it was FREE.

Pixies,  on their recent tour.  I never ever thought I'd get to see them live. 

Do you believe there is intelligent life on other planets?

yes. 

What are the weirdest song titles in your playlist or music collection?
Submitted by Charline.

Genie the Magic Record. It is for my Mom. 

Have you noticed a climate change in the area where you live over the past few years?

I have noticed the winters are milder. 

I am so freaking tired. I don't think I've been sleeping that well this week, having issues trying not to sleep on my back and to sleep only on my side and I just wake up at all hours.

I've been hitting a roadblock around 3pm the past few days and all I want to do is go home and sleep.

When do you file your taxes?  Do you do it yourself or get outside help?

I use TaxAct. It is really easy to use and helpful. I've always done my taxes around February or March, (probably because I've never owed anything).  I've never had outside help.
