Radiohead SEE LIKE THREE POSTS BELOW
Rage Against the Machine I DIDN'T REALLY WANNA SEE THESE GUYS A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT NOW I WOULD BE INTRIGUED. FREE LEONARD PELTIER!
Nine Inch Nails JUDGING BY WHAT I SAW OF THEM AT WOODSTOCK 1994, THESE GUYS CAN TEAR SHIT UP EVEN IN FESTIVAL MODE. I HAVE SEEN THEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT NEVER OUTDOORS OR AT A FESTIVAL. HIGH PRIORITY.
Kanye West HE'S GONNA TAKE THE STAGE REALLY LATE THEN BREAK HIS MACBOOK AIR BLOGGING ANGRILY ABOUT FAN RESPONSE TO HIS TARDINESS. PASS.
Wilco NEVER GOT INTO THEM AS MUCH AS OTHERS, BUT THAT'S WHAT FESTIVALS ARE ALL ABOUT. I WOULD GIVE THEM A SHAKE, AND IF IT DIDN'T WORK OUT, I WOULD GRAB A TURKEY LEG AND GO SEE THE TING TING'S. JEFF TWEEDY DRESSES REALLY AWESOME.
The Raconteurs SAW THEM ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO. AMAZING SHOW, AMAZING BAND. GREAT ROCK, NO PRETENSE. THEY JUST KILL.
Louis XIV THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN PLAYING REALLY SMALL CLUBS ON THEIR PAST COUPLE TOURS. SURPRISED THEY MADE IT ON THE BILL. SAW THEM OPEN UP FOR HOT HOT HEAT A FEW YEARS AGO AND THEY SANG ABOUT GETTING LAID. LIKE, THAT'S ALL THEY SANG ABOUT. THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD.
Love and Rockets THESE GUYS ARE GOOD. I WOULD SEND MY FRIEND TO THE STAGE AND HAVE THEM TEXT WHEN "SO ALIVE" CAME ON. IF IT DIDN'T SUCK, I WOULD HAVE THEM TEXT ME AGAIN WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR "NO NEW TALE TO TELL"
Gnarls Barkley WOULD WALK BY THE STAGE AND LOOK UP, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. I LIKE MY CONCERTS ROCK AND ROLL-Y OR HIP-HOP-Y. THESE GUYS AREN'T MUCH OF EITHER.
Bloc Party THEY ARE VERY PERCUSSIVE. ANOTHER BAND I DON'T MIND, BUT AREN'T MY CUP OF TEA. THINK TOKYO POLICE CLUB DOES MORE WITH A SIMILAR SOUND
The Black Keys I GET THESE GUYS MIXED UP WITH THE BLACK LIPS, BUT I THINK THEY ARE THE BLUES DECONSTRUCTIONISTS THAT DON'T HAVE THE PHRASE "BLUES EXPLOSION" IN THEIR NAME. I'M SEEING THEM IN TWO MONTHS. FAIRLY EXCITED.
Broken Social Scene THIS BAND IS FROM CANADA. I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE A PART OF MY LIFE EVER. JUST HAVE A FINITE AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEY'RE ONE OF THOSE BANDS THAT I HAVE HEARD ABOUT FOREVER AND JUST FEEL LIKE I MISSED.
Lupe Fiasco THIS GUY'S LIVE SHOW KICKS ASS. BEST HIP-HOP SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN. LIVE BAND, ALL SONGS IN THE CONTEXT OF AN OVERARCHING STORY. REALLY GREAT SHOW. RAPPERS TEND TO SHIT THE PROVERBIAL BED IN CONCERT, SPECIFICALLY IN LARGE VENUES. LET'S HOPE HE PLAYS UP THE BEST ASPECTS OF HIS LIVE SHOW FOR A HUGE CROWD.
Flogging Molly YOU CAN'T NOT DOUBLE-FIST BEERS WHEN THEY ARE ON STAGE. THEY ARE A TON OF FUN. AND THE LEAD SINGER IS REALLY FUNNY.
Mark Ronson HE IS A DJ AND PRODUCER. HIS SISTER KISSES LINDSAY LOHAN. HE DOES A PRETTY BITCHIN' REMIX OF TOXIC FEAT. ODB, AKA BIG BABY JESUS, AKA DIRT MCGIRT. LIFE'S TOO SHORT FOR DJ'S AT THE EXPENSE OF LIVE MUSIC.
Cat Power FEEL LIKE IT ALREADY DOESN'T MATTER THAT I MISSED HER OR NEVER LISTENED TO HER SINCE SHE'S BEEN AROUND.
The National YES!!! STELLAR DRUMER, GREAT BAND. ONE OF MY 5 FAVORITE BANDS RIGHT NOW. IT WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT IF THEY WEREN'T PLAYING AT NIGHT. I SAW THEY PLAYED THE BROOKLYN POOL PARTY A FEW WEEKS AGO. THAT'S KINDA FUCKED UP. I LOVE THE NATIONAL, BUT THEY WOULDN'T PLAY MY POOL PARTY.
G. Love & Special Sauce NOT MY THING, MAN.
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings HEY! IT'S THE FIRST BAND I'VE NEVER HEARD OF! I'LL PASS. YAY!
Explosions in the Sky THEY DO ALL THE MUSIC FOR FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS I THINK. I WOULD WANT TO JUMP OVER A PUDDLE IN SLOW MOTION WHILE THEY WERE PLAYING. THEN LOOK UP WITH SWEATY HAIR AND BROODING EYES. APPARENTLY, THESE GUYS ARE OPTIMAL FOR ME UNDER VERY SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES. I WOULD TOTES CHECK THEM OUT.
Brand New I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD KNOW THESE GUYS, BUT WILL PLAY IT SAFE AND SAY I DON'T THINK I DO. HONESTY FEELS GOOD.
Gogol Bordello OH GOD YES. AWESOME SHOW, AWESOME SINGER. KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT HAVING CAUGHT THESE GUYS IN DALLAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. A GREAT FESTIVAL BAND, I WOULD THINK.
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks WE'RE GONNA SLOW THINGS DOWN A BIT FOR COUPLES-ONLY SKATE. PAVEMENT TRULY IS MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS.
Dierks Bentley I THINK THIS GUY HAS CURLY HAIR AND KINDA LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH. IF I'M WRONG, I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE. NO ONE COMES OUT ON TOP THERE.
Okkervil River I LIKE "OUR LIFE IS NOT A MOVIE OR MAYBE" A LOT. BUT I HEARD FROM THE CO-AUTHOR OF THIS BLOG THAT I SHOULD LEAVE THE TICKETS AT WILL CALL AND NOT BOTHER GOING. I ABIDED. WOULD DEF WALK BY THEIR SET TO SEE IF I NEEDED TO YELL AT MY CO-AUTHOR.
Amadou & Mariam THEY SOUND LIKE PEOPLE I WOULD BEFRIEND ON A CRUISE
Blues Traveler UNLESS THEY'RE REPRISING THEIR PERFORMANCE FROM THE END OF KINGPIN, OLD PENNSKI'S GONNA PASS.
John Butler Trio NAH, NOT FOR ME. THEIR NAME MAKES THEM SOUND REALLY BORING. DON'T HAVE TIME OR INCLINATION TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER.
Girl Talk I WOULD DEF CHECK THEM OUT ON THEIR NAME ALONE. PLUS I'VE READ A LOT ABOUT THEM RECENTLY. EASIER TO WALK BY THE STAGE AND CHECK THEM OUT THAN TO BORROW THEIR ALBUM. AND A BETTER BAROMETER FOR HOW MUCH I'LL LIKE THEM.
Your Vegas CAN'T IT BE OUR VEGAS?
CSS I HOPE CSS STANDS FOR SOMETHING. HAVE HEARD OF THEM, DON'T THINK THEY'LL MAKE MY TRIAGE LIST UNLESS I LISTEN TO THEM WHILE I'M HAVING AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Eli "Paperboy" Reed & the True Loves PROBABLY NOT THE SAME "PAPERBOY" WHO SINGS "THE DITTY". PROB NOT INTERESTED.
Battles WOULD CHECK THEM OUT. BEEN LOOKING FOR MORE ELECTRONIC MUSIC RECENTLY AND THE LANDSCAPE SEEMS TO BE RIFE WITH SOME PRETTY GOOD ELECTRONIC-CENTRIC BANDS OUT THERE.
Steel Train REGGAE. PROB NOT FOR ME.
Jamie Lidell
Bang Camaro
Butch Walker
The Blakes
Mates of State "MY ONLY OFFER" IS ONE OF MY SINGLES OF THE MONTH. OR LAST MONTH. IT'S A REALLY GOOD SONG. THANKS WHITNEY MATHESON OF POP CANDY FOR TURNING ME ON TO THEM. VERY DANCEABLE.
Tally Hall
Spank Rock
White Lies
Brazilian Girls
Magic Wands
Chromeo GREAT NAME FOR A BAND. WOULD CHECK THEM OUT. ALSO KINDA IN MY ELECTRONIC MUSIC WHEELHOUSE, FROM WHAT I HEAR. HAVEN'T HEARD THEM BUT WOULD CHECK THEM OUT.
Electric Touch
Duffy
Innerpartysystem
The Kills SAW THESE GUYS AFTER THEY FINISHED IN THE SMALL ROOM AT HOUSE OF BLUES AND CAME INTO THE BIG ROOM WHERE A VERY POPULAR DALLAS COUNTRY BAND (THE BOYS NAMED SUE) WAS PLAYING. IT LOOKED LIKE ROBERT SMITH AND WENDY O. WILLIAMS STEPPED INTO A HONKEY TONK. VERY FUNNY. SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY SEXY. HARD TO BE SEXY AT A FESTIVAL.
The Postelles
Rogue Wave
The Parlor Mob
The Go! Team THE FOX IS IN THE HENHOUSE! REPEAT: THE FOX IS IN THE HENHOUSE!
Bald Eagle
Mason Jennings
Krista
The Gutter Twins
Ha Ha Tonka
Yeasayer
Witchcraft
Grizzly Bear I LIKE "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE". I DON'T LIKE THEIR OTHER STUFF THAT MUCH. I WOULD BE HUNGOVER EATING DEEP DISH PIZZA WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING.
We Go To 11 NOT A TIMELY REFERENCE.
MGMT APPARENTLY THEY ARE THE HOT BAND WITH THE MTV CROWD. I DIDN'T KNOW THE MTV CROWD STILL LISTENED TO MUSIC.
Sofia Talvik
The Weakerthans
Booka Shade
Santogold
Black Kids I CONFUSE THEM WITH THE COOL KIDS, WHO ARE BLACK. VERY TRICKY STUFF
Black Lips
Dr. Dog I WOULD WATCH THIS CARTOON.
Nicole Atkins & the Sea SOOTHING.
The Ting Tings THESE GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD, BUT I HAVE A REAL BEEF WITH IPOD COMMERCIAL BANDS. I'LL ADDRESS THIS IN A FUTURE POST.
Kid Sister
Office
The Cool Kids THEY SHOULD TEAM UP WITH BLACK KIDS AND SAVE ME A HEADACHE. I HAVE A REAL SOFT SPOT FOR SELF-AWARE RAPPERS, SO I WOULD TOTALLY SCOPE THEM OUT. AND THEY DRESS LIKE YOUNG MC DID.
What Made Milwaukee Famous AT THIS POINT I HAVE MADE A LITTLE GAME OUT OF LONG I CAN AVOID ACTUALLY HEARING THIS BAND. MOST PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY GO THEIR WHOLE LIVES. WHOA.
Does It Offend You, Yeah? I'M TRYING TO GET INTO THIS BAND BASED ON THEIR NAME, WHICH IS A REFERENCE TO THE BRITISH VERSION OF THE OFFICE. I HAVE A 60% SUCCESS RATE IN TRYING TO LIKE A BAND BECAUSE OF THEIR NAME. NOT BAD.
The Whigs
Manchester Orchestra
Foals
Uffie
The Octopus Project
Cadence Weapon
Ferras
De Novo Dahl
Noah and the Whale
Margot & the Nuclear So and So's
K'NAAN
Serena Ryder
Newton Faulkner ADD "SYNDROME" AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A HORRIBLE AFFLICTION
