Lollapalooza

[anarchist]

does the line up suck this year or is it my imagination?  i thought last yrs was better.

[backstagebethy]

yeah it's a lot worse this year. and it figures that most of the bands i wanted to see are scheduled against each other, especially on friday.

[sonickteam2]

i dont know. i just dont see how it sucks.
 
 looking at the schedule, these are the bands i plan to see.
 
 friday:  
 
 deadboy and the elephantmen,
 cursive,
 eels,
 jeremy enigk,
 ryan adams,
 lady sovereign,
 secret machines,
 raconteurs,
 violent femmes,
 death cab for cutie
 
 saturday:
 wolfmother,
 feist,
 built to spill,
 nada surf,
 sonic youth,
 smoking popes,
 flaming lips,
 new pornographers.
 
 sunday:
 boy kill boy,
 redwalls,
 burden brothers,
 hot chip,
 ben kweller,
 hard-fi,
 the shins,
 QOTSA,
 Broken social scene
 
 
 sure there are TONS of bands here i dont care to see, but i have found the schedule to not leave too much time when there isnt a band playing i want to see!

[duderino]

yeah, i agree, i think this year's lineup is much stronger than last year. but i'm finding a lot of scheduling conflicts so it'll be tough to see everyone i was looking forward to seeing.

[Sage 703]

I think the lineup is great, but the scheduling SUCKS.
 
 Conflicts on Day One:
 
 Stars/Editors/Jeremy Enigk
 Umphreys McGee/Ryan Adams
 Iron & Wine/Secret Machines
 The Raconteurs/Unannounced Special Guest
 Ween/Death Cab
 
 Conflicts on Day Two:
 
 Feist/The Go Team
 Calexico/Nada Surf
 Gnarls Barkley/Sonic Youth
 Common/The Flaming Lips
 Thievery Corporation/The New Pornographers
 
 Conflicts on Day Three:
 
 Queens of the Stone Age/Wilco
 
 
 Seriously, do all of these bands have to play simultaneously?  They couldn't have staggered start times?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yes, life would really suck if one had to miss Umphrey's McGee!

[nkotb]

That's a conflict?

Thanks for picking up a slow afternoon.

[chokeychicken]

you left off cursive, the new amsterdams, wilco, and the shins.  especially cursive.  tim kasher is a genius.
