Lollapalooza

[sonickteam2]

am i out of touch or what?  i dont know half of these bands......
 
 
 also its really disappointing that Black Rebel Motorcycle club is like the only "Black" band not to get booked for this festival.  
 
 and they're the best one!

I'd have to go with The Weakerthans. I seriously doubt you'd be disappointed.

Hilarious - we choose almost exactly opposite of one another on almost everything on day one, most things on day two (yes, I am serious about Brand New/EITS - EITS doesn't strike me as something I want to see at a festival, and Brand New rocks), and we're in line on day three.  Given every other choice you made being opposite the one I was leaning toward (almost), I'd say you should go see the Whigs.

[xneverwherex]

my real conflict (and there might be others im forgetting) is:
 
 The Enemy (UK) vs The Go! Team
 
 toadies vs sharon jones (im seeing her at summerstage - so i guess if i love her its a no-brainer)
 
 Margot vs the Postelles
 
 and The National vs Mark Ronson
 
 i guess my decisions arent too hard, but honestly i forgot what half the other bands sounded like so i might have other major conflicts.
 
 cant wait to see love & rockets!

[Chulahoma]

according to the EITS website, "We plan on laying pretty low for the next year or so as we work on new songs for a new record. We have no idea how long it might take us, but it will probably be awhile."
 
 i'd go with EITS if i were you.

The after shows are really good this year. Much better than last year.

[sweetcell]

new lolla map
 
 need to consult last year's set up, but it looks like there is a stage or two less this year - cool, less sound-bleed.  might mean that crowding will be a tad worse, tho, given that the same amount of people have less places to go.  addition of a beer garden serving craft brews is a nice touch.  glad to see the wine bar is back.
 
 only 2 weeks to go - woohoo!

Holy F*ck added to Friday...replacing Noah & the Whale.
