Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

[hutch]

man D'Angelo is so tempting but the price tag, although fair, is high for me...

I've heard his touring band is the best there is and that he puts on one of the best shows out there....although its weird cause I usually can't stand Pino Palladino but his bass on the  album is awesome...

He's also playing the Norva

[Relaxer]

Yeah, that's a tough one. Black Messiah has been my favorite new album since it came out in December. I really think it's an all-time classic and one that I'll be listening to constantly for years. Hopefully it won't sell out immediately so I can mull it. Though, maybe I should be hopeful that it does sell out because then I don't have to sweat it anymore.

Or buy a ticket and sell it if it's too much of a sacrifice to go to the Fillmore.

[hutch]

I could be wrong but I should think D'Angelo would be an immediate sellout...


Anyways, Basement Jaxx is also quite interesting... I love their Rooty album...

Landmark Music Festival

Decided to buy the early bird ticket on this one, not very fussed about the headliners, but there a handful of bands here I've been meaning to see for awhile, so I'm in...

Albert Hammond Jr.
Ex Hex
The Mowgli?s
Rebirth Brass Band

agreed, lots of bands I would see on their own
man that first in ticket is soooo darn tempting
I really hate festivals


...while I was writing this I just did it
technically a good deal at $100 on the First-in as the regular tickets will be $200 in Aug
My thinking is I should easily be able to  sell the other ticket for the same price they are selling then
and attend for free

I was a little concerned they might have a non-transferable clause, but I read through and didn't see it

[kosmo vinyl]

No fees if you have them mail it to you... Weird seeing it cost a flat $100

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

A agree....so no ticketmaster/tickfly
is it just going to be a wrist band?
they did try hard to sell me ticket insurance for $6 a ticket

[Justin Tonation]

Virgin Freefest prognosticating just got much harder.

[wml7]

Just got my ticket, see you all there!  I know everyone wants to meet me

Definitely interested for a $100, not sure if I'll pull the trigger or not though.

Edit: You can definitely resell these if you can't make it, correct?

[K8teebug]

Much more excited about Basement Jaxx. Haven't seen them since 2004 at Coachella!

I've never gotten to see them. Do they just DJ or is it a live performance of some sort?

[K8teebug]

When I saw them it was a live performance. Dizzee Rascal was there and also performed with them. It was much more exciting than the beginning of the Flaming Lips set!

My understanding is you can resell them...or I'm going to be in the dog house!
but I'm no lawyer

also if you don't buy the $100 ones yet ...they go up to $150 in 25 mins

also Basement Jaxx sounds great...not sure if I can make though
