since the bands actually listed in the headlines are Pitchfork's bread and butter, that's some bad trolling, subby.


/still wants to go.

The VAselines? Awesome


if Jesus Lizard is anything like 10 years ago, they will blow most of these bands off the stage

All I want for Xmas, Kwanzaa, and my birthday this year is to go to this.

For just a few hundred dollars, you can make this faux-hipster's dreams all come true. Won't you help?

Aw man, I like these bands. Does that mean I have to call myself a hipster now? I don't own glasses, anything plaid, or corduroys.

That sounds more like a hipster/grungy/hippie look.

The Jesus Lizard is still around? I'll be damned.

Aphex Twin AND Squarepusher. That is like the dynamic duo of nerdy electronic music. That massive splashing sound you just heard was the collective IDM fans of the world ejaculating all at the same time.

Aphex Twin is insane, but he makes some of the best god damn music videos ever.

Which is weird because Wilco will be in Spain playing in Madrid and Seville on the dates surrounding this show. They are not playing on the first day of the festival ... and the lineup isn't complete. You might see him on there yet.

Couldn't they all come play in America a couple of weeks later? Please? That is the greatest lineup ever.

In other news, Sonic Youth, Aphex Twin, The Jesus Lizard, My Bloody Valentine, and the Vaselines were all hipster bands we'd never heard of.

/wouldn't mind seeing Throwing Muses again if Tanya Donelly was compelled to grace us with her presence.

Eh, I'm a little annoyed that all of a sudden late-Dave Conway-era MBV is all of a sudden some kind of source of reference (see also: Manhattan Love Suicides). It's not bad stuff, but certainly nothing to get excited over.
