June 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 18, 2012 -> 11:28 PM) I usually steer clear of outdoor music festivals cause of my hated or people, crowds of people, crowds of smelly people and the heat, but this line-up is RIDICULOUS (to me) http://fyffest.com/ And a HELL of a great price for weekend passes.... I will be there Riot Fest has a really great lineup this year, but I hate festival shows more than I like the bands. I prefer the format where there were a ton of individual shows.

June 20, 201213 yr QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 03:18 PM) I hate festival shows more than I like the bands. I prefer the format where there were a ton of individual shows. I keep hearing this everywhere, and it's kind of worrisome to me because I'm set to venture on down to Atlanta in September for Pearl Jam headlining the Music Midtown Festival. Between the price of admission and the long drive down, a let down would hurt considerably more than if this was in Tinley Park or East Troy... Are the sets shorter or watered down at festival- anything along those lines? I've only ever been to two festivals- Ozzfest in 2001 and Pearl Jam 20th Anniversary at Alpine Valley, and in both cases the headliners were my reason for attending, and in both cases I left satisfied. Not sure those would qualify as true festivals since the entire day and roster of bands performing was planned as a lead in for the headliners, unlike the Lollapaloozsa and Bonnaroos where it's a purely random mix of everything.

Generally the sets are shorter outside of the headliners, but for me the distaste comes from weather, crowds, having to choose between bands if they play at the same time or similar times, things like that. My personality is not suited for all-day events, so it's not worth the ticket price to me. I like going to a specific event and then going home.
June 21, 201213 yr Waiting on my Father's Day present to come in the mail. It's the new Mars Volta on vinyl.
June 21, 201213 yr Well, Linkin Park did go back to what made them successful. The new album is fun as hell.
June 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (MEANS @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 07:57 AM) now THAT is an awesome father's day gift!!! I'm only lacking De-Loused on vinyl.

June 24, 201213 yr Got my Mars Volta vinyl in the mail. Nice as always, only drawback is that it's a slipcase and not a gatefold. Edited June 24, 201213 yr by JPN366

Glad to see this forum isn't full of LP haters who think they still make music for depressed teenagers. The new album is their best since Meteora. It's a good combination their early 2000s stuff and their experimental stuff from the past 5 years.
June 25, 201213 yr Egads, the new Offspring is horrendous. Next? The new Smashing Pumpkins. I have to assume it will be s***.
June 27, 201213 yr New Gambino mixtape drops on July 4th. New Lupe song just came out. "b**** Bad". I'm a big fan of it, despite him using a different flow than normal. The song basically makes fun of female rappers who refer to themselves at "bad b****es" and all those rappers who think it's cool to say things like that. He also makes fun of lil wayne and mocks his typical terrible rap content. This song is much closer to old school Lupe than that techno-dance club stuff we heard off of LASERS.

Dexter Holland's voice = The worst, most offensive noise in the world. There just isn't any two ways about that. It's like a banshee and some stray cats coming out of nowhere screaming and wailing through a megaphone two inches from your ears right as you were about to fall into the most peaceful sleep ever. On the plus side, I keep hearing and reading that the new Pumpkins album is pretty good, possibly Corgan's best stuff since the late nineties. Another surprising piece of info about Oceania is that they're actually moving copies at a respectable clip for an act not named Justin Beiber, Nickle Back or Lady Gaga. Looking forward to checking it out eventually.

They are my favorite band BTW, but that's by choice in overall style.

This post has so much win. And I was brought here by the following lyric: "When my mama ask me will I change, I tell her year, but it's clear I'll always be the same, until the end of time."
July 6, 201213 yr Wavefront on Montrose Beach was awesome, when the sun goes down, nothing was better
