What a strange list of recordings among that list.

Woohoo, Amazon delivered a deluxe "Bjork's Vagina" to my mailbox!

Who knew Amazon was a pimp.

Woohoo, Amazon delivered a deluxe "Bjork's Vagina" edition album to my mailbox!

I have it in high resolution.

This year's Lollapalooza is being headlined by...


Paul McCartney, Metallica, and Florence & The Machine.


lol

I don't know if all the other terrible lineups this year have conditioned me to low expectations, or what, but that was actually the first one I saw that I thought, "I could go to that."

Osheaga is better, simply because I haven't already seen half the bands I'm interested in. There's a day by day for Lolla and Sunday is so fucking bad. It's like they booked a dozen bands and forgot to book the other 20 until yesterday.

I'd just grab a Friday for Macca and leave the rest.

 

[iron yuppie]

Sunday's my day of choice because I REALLY want to see TV on the Radio and FKA Twigs.

Could be worse. Linkin Park is headlining one day of Pukkelpop which is the second biggest festival in Belgium. It's also rumoured that Bastille is another headliner but I really can't believe that.

For me, I judge a lineup by how many bands I'd pay full price to see on their own. By that standard, I feel like Osheaga's is the best in years, because there's at least 15 bands I'd legitimately see outside the festival.

However, I had been holding out hope for Florence. Had the rest of the lineup been complete crap, I still would have gone just to see her. Her set at the 2012 Osheaga was one of the best concert experiences of my life, right up there with anything I saw with U2, Arcade Fire, or anyone else.

 

[PhilsFan]

My first festival experience is going to have a relatively weak lineup but whatever.

Pfft, mine is physical so I can touch it and stuff.

I've had Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" stuck in my head all day and this is not a bad thing. What a fun song to sing (or at least attempt to sing). What a tune.

[lazarus]

Not going to bump the dedicated thread, but I'm obvs very excited about this. Originally he was only going to produce a few songs but it looks like things went better than expected. What I've heard so far sounds fantastic.

His band could use a good producer after their last stinker.

Zayn left One Direction, everyone.

 

[Hewson]

Who left what now?

 

[djerdap]

Go and read something interesting for a change.

8.1, not bad for a debut effort.

I hear it's because he's both a druggie and a total slut.

I'm not saying NSW has been living in his mom's basement making dubstep music on a laptop, BUT if he WAS living in his mom's basement making dubstep music on a laptop, he would probably release an album under the name Scuba.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!! Hookworms had to cancel their US tour because of visa problems. Nooooooooo.

:sniffle:

 

[corianderstem]

Well, obviously. We shouldn't be letting hookworms into our country knowingly.

She'll be here all week, ladies and gentlemen.

Bryan Devendorf and some bloke from Menomena have a new band. I can't find out if Bryan drums in this band. If he does then I will listen.
