I know it's not over yet, but I'm pretty sure that 2008 is gonna go down as the year of the break up. Here are some of the acts that called it a day: Planes Mistaken for Stars, Machine Gun Blues, the Brotherhood of Dae Han, Whiskey Kiss, Fight Like Hell, the Crimson Red, Erica Brown Band, Redline Defiance, Lazyface, To Be Eaten (though we're still not completely sure these guys have stopped breathing), Red Orange Yellow and Rocket Queen. You can now safely add Breezy Porticos to that list. After nearly a decade of putting forth some of the finest pop this town has ever seen, the act is hanging it up for good (or at least until years from now, when some enterprising, diehard fan convinces the group to give it one more go for old time's sake), with a final show at the hi-dive on Friday, October 10. In an effort to get a proper send off, the members are taking suggestions from fans for their final setlist, from the songs listed after the jump. -- Dave Herrera
