Holy hell. The line-up for the 2008 Capitol Hill Block Party was just announced, and wow does it look good:

Surprise guest!!
The Hold Steady

Little Party And Bad Business

Personally, the thought of seeing Girl Talk followed by Les Savy Fav is blowing my mind a little bit right now. Not to mention that quite possibly the greatest band currently in existence, The Hold Steady, is also slated to play.

So if anyone needs to get in touch with me on either July 25th or 26th, you know where to find me.
