Here are our five favorite shows of 2007.
The Sea and Cake at Bimbo's

Why?
- We love this band.
- Sam Prekop personally handed Koshi his photopass.
- Sam Prekop pretended to be overcome by the awesomeness of his own guitar solo and rolled around on the stage.
- Great crowd.
Low at The Great American Music Hall

Why?
- We love this band.
- It was my birthday and Alan Sparhawk played "When I Go Deaf" for me.
- A drunk guy in the balcony begged to hear "Transmission" until they gave in and played it.
- The show finally convinced me that I love Drums and Guns.
Sonic Youth at the Berkeley Community Theater

Why?
- It's Sonic fucking Youth and they played Daydream Nation start to finish.
Two Gallants w/Blitzen Trapper at the Independent

Why?
- We were there for the opening band and they kicked ass.
- Two Gallants are hometown heroes.
- This show provided incontrovertible proof that rock and roll is not dead.
US Air Guitar Regional Championship at the Independent

Why?
- Air guitar is completely absurd yet incredibly entertaining.
- My friend was the most hated judge for the second year in a row.
- I got to yell "YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!" at least 10 times and it was okay because everyone else was yelling it too!
Here's to more shows and more awesome in 2008. Cheers!
