Laneway Festival Detroit lineup revealed

Aaaaand of course tickets are about half the cost of the festival here. $80 for that is an absolute fucking steal.

 

[bono_212]

Detroit is pretty far, but I would love to sew Dismemberment Plan again.

 

[martha]

Tom Jones was so good. I feel bad for all you poor bastards who didn't get to go.

This is a great typo.

Thank you, thank you.


Glad you enjoyed your old people show

So, I'm trying to finish up the RYM top 100 that I haven't rated already. I recall enjoying Meddle a bit, but listening to it now, I'm liking it...a lot. Like, a fuck-ton, I think is how I would refer to it.

Except whichever track had the dog. "Echoes" is just fantabulous.

 

[lazarus]

Seamus, that's the dog.


Meddle is my second favorite PF after Wish You Were Here.

 

[iron yuppie]

It's certainly the last time they had a playful quality about them. Seamus and San Tropez are both good fun. One of These Days would likely land in my top 5 Floyd tracks.

 

[bono_212]

I thought so. I can't always look over at track titles when I'm at work. Thanks. I didn't dislike "Seamus", I just...wanted...it to not be on, anymore. Probably would've felt differently if I hadn't been working, maybe, possibly.

I suspect my rankings are currently somewhere around

1) The Wall
2) WYWH
3) Meddle

as far as really loved albums by Pink Floyd and me go.

 

[bono_212]

I'm listening to Bitches Brew, iYup, thought I'd let ya know. Have to pause it now though, lunch time!

 

[trojanchick99]

LA's FYF just announced their lineup. My Bloody Valentine and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are headlining! MGMT, Beach House, and TV on the Radio are subs. I'm beyond happy.

 

[martha]

Thank you, thank you.

If I had my walker handy...

 

[bono_212]

I'm really hoping that MBV is going to be at Riot Fest. It seems about right. Not sure when we usually get that lineup though.

Apparently I have a psychic connection with Riot Fest or something:

WEDNESDAY 10PM...STAY TUNED.....

says their website right now. I'm assuming we'll get some info then.

This lineup even tempts me.

 

[lazarus]

Looks like tickets went up $20 this year.

 

[Imperor]

Solid. If my friend gets this job in LA, I may have to make a trip.

 

[No spoken words]

I can pretty much guarantee that I'll have to work one of those two days, but I'm going to try to go the other day, fuck it.

 

[lazarus]

This may be worth it just to meet NSW and Imperor.


Hopefully the former will be willing to leave the VIP section at some point.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm laughing only because I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to see how much the VIP tickets cost for 2013.

 

[Imperor]

I looked into it too. If drinks are included and it's a reasonable price, that's the way to go. That's how I roll at FFF as I easily drink the difference in price over three days.

 

[No spoken words]

If it affords me slight separation from the teeming masses, you know....the common folk.....then it's worth every cent. Plus cleaner toilets.

 

[martha]

VIP tickets? I like this idea. Is parking included?

Drinks included?

Good luck with that.

 

[lazarus]

Also, last year the VIP tix cost over twice as much as the regular ones. So expect to be paying over $200 for the privilege of shorter food and bathroom lines.

 

[Imperor]

Drinks included?

Good luck with that.

Festival VIP packages are about half and half on drinks and/or food being included, and I have no way of knowing right now which category FYF falls into. Double the price with no booze and food doesn't catch my fancy, so if they're not included, I'm not interested.

Edit: found some chatter about VIP in years past saying it sucked and drinks are at "bar prices." No thanks.

The VIP tickets at Riot Fest are stupidly tempting. I can't remember how cheap they are now, because the site is down until Wednesday, but I remember contemplating it last year.

I don't know that there is anyway this year's Riot Fest can compare to last year's based on the rumors I'm hearing, but I'm willing to hold my breath, just a little bit. Right now the rumors are pointing at Fall Out Boy and Green Day, which is a definite decrease in quality from Iggy & The Stooges and Elvis Costello.
