 is there any worse band than Mates Of State?
 and this was the ONE damn festival-ish thingy i thought i would make this year.....cant see driving to NYC just to see VHS or Beta.

maybe the dears. maybe. that lineup is, obviously, super lame.

[thirsty moore]

Dungen might be cool to see.

[amnesiac]

If I can't get into the Spoon show this Fri, I would probably make the trip to NYC. Would also love to see Dungen. And The Dears are much better live than on record.
 
 Dinosaur Jr. and Broken Social Scene are playing Central Park a couple days before. Here's to hoping that one or both get added to the lineup...

[BookerT]

Dungen might be cool to see.  

yeah, that "ta det lugnt" album is pretty cool. i wonder how it's pulled off live.

yes.  many.
 i quite like mates of state.

i thought The Dears set at the TSOOL concert was brilliant and of course Brendan is da man... however, none of this for me would be enjoyable while being baked on concrete... maybe finally Brendan is headed our way as a headliner.

lol, that's pretty true actually... never thought of that.
 
 But I also do quite like a lot of their stuff...just have always thought they're in bad need of a decent producer. Then again, I guess that sound is part of their charm.

No, I don't think so.
 They are even worse than Fiery Furnaces.
 
 If I were locked in a room with those bands playing, I'd have to kill them or somehow make myself deaf and shut my eyes.
 
 UGHHHH!!!

 Ambulance Ltd
 Morningwood

although the lineup is improving and becoming more attractive, I think I need a few more bands to really make me want to go to it.
