I don't know if any of you have interest in Lollapalooza in Chicago Aug 1-3 (www.lollapalooza.com) BUT it has been WIDELY rumored that Radiohead will be the sunday headliner... fingers crossed.

I'm 99% going regardless, but if it is confirmed they are going I will be buying tickets the minute it's announced.

do you get your tix before bands are announced?

pre-order FTW

MK (or anyone else with taste), what are some of the best albums so far this year. I'm struggling to find stuff that blows me away, lately.

If anyone wants that High Places record PF was so crazy for, I uploaded it for forum-distribution for a friend of mine: http://www.mediafire.com/?dnn1xe1y9d0

I'm not big on it, but it's free and right here.

I haven't listened to it yet, but I've heard good things about Chris Walla's "Field Manual"

I've been listening to a lot of Jon Brion and Spoon lately.

Talking Heads - Found a Job

holy shit balls fuck. I have 2 dates I can choose from. only problem is this is far earlier than I thought it would be so I'm not sure how I'm gonna get all the money.


anybody want to go with me to either charlotte or va show? I'm quite attractive.

i was thinking about going to the charlotte show, but its just too much money. should have seen them at bonnaroo. damnit

I'm pretty sure they're already sold out too, so you'll have to go to eBay which will be much more expensive.

already sold out? it says on the website that they go on sale tomorrow. how is that possible? please don't kill my dreams.

http://tickets.waste.uk.com/Store/DisplayItems.html

but yea it does say on a different part of their website that they don't go on sale until tomorrow, so who knows.

Those are the presale tickets for members of WASTE. Regular tickets go on sale tomorrow.

I see, thanks for the info.

I think I'm a member there. I'll have to remember that for when the come on sale near me.

jesus, I was worried. i really hope i can get tickets. I'm getting up early just for it. i guess the only way to get them is to call?

ok well I don't think there should be a problem getting tickets to this show seeing as how this has to be the most complicated fucking way of selling tickets I've ever seen in my life. the god damn website selling them absolutely sucks. I'm less than confident.

Now who's the real dookie, meaning who's really the shit

Them niggas ride dicks, Frank White push the sticks

on the Lexus, LX, four and a half

Bulletproof glass tints if I want some ass

Gonna blast squeeze first ask questions last

That's how most of these so-called gangsters pass

I just spun I'll Sleep When You're Dead for the first time in a while. I liked it a lot, last time, but this time it grabbed me by the hymen and ripped my cunt clear off.

The bad touch destruct militant

Drum percussion lust diligent

The surface that gave birth to the style is NY

The jihad recipient sky is too fly

The roof of the witnessing spot was BK

A cloud of asbestos; I guess it's d-day

Now you want me to move and do how you say

Or look into my brain through this glass toupee

Fuck this, how 'bout I just smack you, bitch?

Save that 4th reich boogie for them plastic twits

Or the old women of fate stichin' the casket nits

I'll be drunk on the back of the train takin' a piss

Bumpin' BDP through a raheem kit

With double d duracel destiny megamix

And the lyrics aren't even my favorite component. I'm downloading Fantastic Damage, now. And I'm doing so with a monitored share-ratio (thanks, Strat), in a community where's it ****ing impossible to upload at anywhere close to the amount I like to download, so, El-P, you better've broughten it.

Speaking of El-P, him and Dizzee Rascal are touring.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news...l-announce-tour

Wait...El-P is white? I'm so disillusioned.

Really?

That's how I acted when I heard Edan was white. Aesop is white too, in case you didn't know.

You guys will probably find this as sickening as I do, at least for one of the reasons:

My 19-year-old brother, the one from the shirtless Nickelback incident -- the most immature human alive -- an insolent child whose sense of self-worth and -entitlement sicken even me -- is getting married one week from this afternoon (thus ****ing up my Saturday). Anyway, here is a list of bands with at least one song scheduled to play at the reception, thusly:

Evanescence

Hinder

Blue October

The Shins

Coldplay

Cartel

Guess which five of those bands make me want to suck my radiator dry, and swallow.

I'm going to get legendarily smashed at that crank'n'rager.

Those two I knew. I always feel bad when it turns out rappers I like are white, because liking black music makes me feel all enlightened. I'm only half-joking.

I hope they play that "Hate Me" song by Blue October. That has to be the worst song I've ever heard.

This really seems like great wedding music though.

I completely agree with this.

It's unreal. It's like retarded high schoolers planning a wedding. You'd think her family would step in and guide it a bit, but I'm pretty sure they want as little to do with it as I do. It's going to be a show, anyway. I just hope they (don't?) have kids before they get divorced. My whole life is a succession of bad movie plots.

Here's something I'm puzzled by.

Two more bands were confirmed for Lollapalooza today.

One, I understand.....Bloc Party.

The second? Dierks Bentley?????
Since when did a mainstream country artist perform at a mostly indie-rock festival??

WHERE IS THE NICKELBACK? HOW CAN YOU HAVE A WEDDING WITHOUT NICKELBACK?


that is truly... odd.

LIVE NATION TICKET SALES WEBSITE FUCKING SUCKS


edit:


BUT GUESS WHO JUST GOT 4 TICKETS FOR RADIOHEAD ON MAY 9TH IN CHARLOTTE????? HAHAHAHA FUCKING FAGGOTS. I RULE.

.

are you fucking kidding me? really? really?

The only new thing that I've really liked so far is MGMT's Oracular Spectacular. Dave Fridmann of Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips fame produced, and I am a fan. "Time to Pretend" is a really awesome song.

You'll like Fantastic Damage. It's great. I listened to Tuned Mass Damper at least 9000 times in 2002.

Oh, I also like Autistici's Volume Objects which my friend Taylor put out on his label, 12k. It's experimental ambient/microsound/electro-acoustic which is sometimes really boring, but I find this album compelling and rich.

The MGMT record is so fun. It makes me want to wear a medallion, for some reason. Thanks for the (hot) tip, 'yo.

I'm going to have to download the MGMT album.

FWIW they are one of the four bands confirmed for Lolla too...

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VMTSSD7P

Anyone ever listen to Yeasayer?

I've finally jumped on the Panda Bear bandwagon.

Pink Floyd DSOTM from November of 1974

Flogging Molly confirmed Lollapalooza today

For those of you who still haven't grabbed MGMT, on MK's suggestion and my worthless confirmation and helper, I'll bump this. It's really one of the best records I've heard in ages.

I had to look back through a few pages to understand who that is; it's like how hi-low counters don't even see the 7s, 8s and 9s anymore; I don't even see the nonsmug music posters.

The strokes - Is this it.
I forgot how amazing this album is.
