For a certain kind of radiohead, the kind who might turn the dial to Indie 103.1 more often than not, the second night of KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas is where it's at. Dec. 14 at the Gibson Amphitheatre will be a regular ol' family hullabaloo with lots of bands that have played the show before:
the Cure,
the Killers,
Death Cab for Cutie (returning from 2005),
Paramore (who played last year),
Franz Ferdinand (from the natty days of 2004),
Scott Weiland (an alumnus from Stone Temple Pilot's stint in 1994),
Snow Patrol and
Vampire Weekend. At least one of these bands needs to be lovably dysfunctional onstage. That way Pop & Hiss will think it's just like the holidays at our house, where the 'nog flows freely and Mom always crashes into the Christmas tree. Wait, no, that's John Waters' house.
