Some random tidbits.
Getting those schedules above here in was a more difficult task than should have been. But worth it because you can see how I changed things after initial thoughts.
Total time at fest: 26 hours
Money spent: Would rather not think about it.
Very well run festival with reasonable prices. I wish it wasn’t so big. Not to be that guy, but I remember the first fest in 2005 and it was better then. Smaller area, less people. Just made for a better fest.
Bands that I only caught a little of but need to check out
Noah and the Whale: Jam bandy in a good way. A little like Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Saul Williams: Hard Hip hop. They wore masks and seemed they could be crazy.
Yeasayer: Here is how you don’t introduce your band- “Their frontman is good friends with Oprah and their album was named one of the best of the year by Better Homes and Gardens…” but I like the song I heard.
Free Sol: Don’t remember why I circled them.
Booka Shade: Afro-punk kinda.
What Made Milwaukee Famous: Heard one I liked, one I didn’t
Black Kids: Only caught a snippet.
Other Random band notes
White Lies: You know who is really good at sounding like the Killers? The Killers. Please stop it, White Lies.
Chromeo: Large man please put your shirt on. Also, I don’t want to come here to watch one guy play a bass and another play a computer. That’s not fun.
Yet again have proven that people will run into me no matter how much space there is around me.
I think that’s all I got.
Lollapalooza sez: “Thanks again for coming. Could you do us a favor on your way out? This guy has been talking about The Go! Team and won’t stop. Could you just murder him for us?”
Sorry, Lollapalooza. No can do. But I’ll see you next year.
