It just depends on the person's budget. I don't think there are any "supposed to's."

Yes, fair enough. I would just like for my friends to be there

I still haven't given my best couple friends a wedding gift. They got married 7 years ago. At the time they had been living together for years and already had everything under the sun, and I had issues around the fact that I was single and did not get a "welcome to your single life" party with toasters and shit, and was broke at the time. They already had an embarrassment of riches and I didn't have matching silverware. They love me because I don't follow the rules.

I had an Shuttlecockian dream last night. I was on my way to a 'Cock concert and swung by Peefer's house to pick him up. He wasn't expecting me and was quite disconcerted by my knowing where he lived and showing up at his door. He really couldn't get rid of me fast enough.

 

[u2popmofo]

Friggin' Peefer.

I had a Shuttlecock dream over the weekend. They decided to play an impromptu show somewhere nearby, after which they'd hop on a plane and land in Moncton. It was a weird venue, like MOMA or something. So I went and it was acoustic with no mics or anything so nobody could hear anything. Then I ran into cori and said, "Wtf are you doing here?! You're in Moncton!!" and she said, "I know, right?"

Group therapy, people.

 

[No spoken words]

That's at least 3 of us that had U2 or Interference dreams in the last few days.....

 

[martha]

 

[joyfulgirl]

Laz had one, too. So that's 4 of us.

 

[Imperor]

OH SHIT.

Pretty sweet lineup. Is that arranged by stages/festival days? Because that lineup looks super stratified: Pitchfork approved "indie" , metal/punk , hip-hop/electronic/music made by non-white people , comedy tent. If so, that's segregation, which I'm against. I like it when festivals throw varied acts on the same stage, like Odd Future followed by Bon Iver (tho let's face it, the audience for both those acts looks pretty much the same).

Also, Okkervil River is way too low there. They should be headlining the "indie rock" stage or whatever, especially since it's a hometown gig.

 

[bono_212]

I'm a little confused by Passion Pit as headliner myself.

 

[Imperor]

Yes, it's separated by genre. "Indie," metal/punk, dance/hip hop, comedy. Can't wait for this shit. Even gonna spring for a VIP pass to take advantage of the free food and beer/side stage viewing.

A band named "doomriders" deserves my attention.

You can use all the $$$ you saved by going the cheap-ass wedding gift route.

That surprised me as well.

 

[Imperor]

Damn, Mikey. That was good.

 

[No spoken words]

They have a Veggie Dog eating contest.

 

[u2popmofo]

Budos Band is hip hop / dance?

People still want to hear Passion Pit?

 

[Reggo]

oooh wha?

i think the expression "right in my wheelhouse" may be applicable here.

DI IX, my dear iDub.

 

[Imperor]

1. They're liberal with the stage affiliations.

2. Probably not. Those cats are on my Mount Rushmore of worst live acts I've ever seen.

 

[No spoken words]

Interesting post...

Who else, Deputy, rank amongst your worst ever live acts???

 

[Imperor]

Ha, the Pitchfork article says verbatim what I said about the stages.

 

[u2popmofo]

Ouch.

MGMT would be on mine.

 

[Imperor]

Oh man. This is a tough one. Gonna have to let this marinate for a while. I've seen some awful, awful bands. I'll be able to cobble something together when I get home.

 

[Reggo]

Ted Leo!

 

[u2popmofo]

Wow, the video they posted on the Pitchfork article for the FFF Fest is quite impressive.

Yeah, please do....am genuinely curious. I might respond in kind as well.

 

[bono_212]

Just, for the record and all, I kind of hate Spotify. Like, it's nice, and I'm sure if I forked over the cash I wouldn't mind it much, but I can't even get through one damn album without three ads playing. Three LONG ads.
