2010 is another year U2 will dominate the Music stage. No one comes close to the show they put on ...musically, financially, and scale-wise...

I am going to bal en blanc in montreal its a 10,000 person rave where everyone is dressed in white. I would have loved to go to coachella arts and valley music festival but couldn't find anyone to go with.

NOT live music. I am sure that raves are entertaining events, but ipods and turntables are not musical instruments.

Wilco for me, so far this year.

The XX at the Commodore were gorgeous in a sedated sort of way. And Jason Collette w/ Zeus and assorted players at the Biltmore put me in mind of Broken Social Scene when Feist, Emily Haines and Amy Milan were still regulars -- awesome.

As for bal en blanc... well, it's hard to disagree with someone like Prince who maintains that live music involves traditional instruments, but I don't agree that turntables are not instruments when songs are synced up with one another in melodically surprising and rhythmically ingenius ways. Put another way, doesn't a great DJ do on stage what a great producer does in a studio? And if someone is to say that a great producer is not a musician then Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band never happened.
