In honour of this week's awesome run of gigs, here are some live videos for you:
TV ON THE RADIO- WOLF LIKE ME (on The Letterman Show)
Quite possibly my favourite live performance on the whole of YouTube. I'm so excited about finally seeing them tomorrow, after just missing out on tickets for their 2006 Koko show.
SIGUR ROS- HOPPIPOLLA (on Jools Holland)
This performance, when first aired by the BBC in 2005, single-handedly persuaded me to put aside my misgivings about the ethereal Icelanders and buy a ticket for their Manchester Apollo show. Now they're my second favourite band in the world, after Arcade Fire.
SHEARWATER- ROOKS (South By Southwest Festival)
More than just an Okkervil River spin-off. Far more complex and enchanting than anything I'd been expecting, Shearwater were the big revelation of the End Of The Road season.

wow you're really getting about to see Wolf Parade!
That's quite an impressive list you have there!
The Wolf Parade thing is a bit excessive, isn't it? But I know loads of people at all three gigs (there's a big crossover between Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade fandom) so should be fun! Dublin show's going to be amazing- folks from the UK, Sweden and the USA are all going over for the gig/an almighty piss-up.
