Sorry for the belated response. I actually went again this year, had a great time.
thursday's thoughts:
little ones= fun
black angels- play something slow and brooding, why dontcha?
mute math performs well but writes crappy music
nick kroll is only funny when he's not nick kroll, aziz ansari is funny for being aziz, and david cross is a funny person who tells great jokes.
friday:
cold war kids are really cool
brazilian girls are even cooler but write boring tunes
KOL are good but could be better
the roots were awesome but need to play more roots tunes
tool was unbelievable. best show of the festival.
why oh why did I sleep through DJ Shadow?
sat:
old crow was good
regina was good
gogol was awesome
annuals was good
hold steady was great
spoon was good
police were fun, but not as mind blowing as tool
flaming lips=good, not as crazy as I've heard they can be, and wayne needs to learn the art of shutting the fuck up
sunday:
don byron was ridiculous
wolfmother was good
ralph stanley was fun, lots of gospel tunes
ornette coleman was great until he collapsed and was carried offstage. also, chicks apparently do not like free jazz at all, just weirdo college students and old hippies.
white stripes sounded awesome, I couldn't see them
i got a different vibe this year than i did last year, not sure why, maybe somebody else felt the same. i was exhausted for most of the festival, not getting enough sleep at all, that's probably why.
