    I’d take Lollapalooza 2004 (When it was still traveling) over this year’s lineup any day of the week:

    Day 1: Morrissey, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, Le Tigre, Modest Mouse, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the Von Bondies, Broken Social Scene, the Walkmen, Wolf Eyes, Danger Mouse, the Datsuns, Sparta, DJ Peretz
    Day 2: String Cheese Incident, The Pixies, Flaming Lips, Gomez, Polyphonic Spree, the Thrills, Fire Theft, the Coup, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Elbow, Wheat, Wilco, DJ Peretz

    Too bad it got canceled due to poor ticket sales. I can’t believe we as music fans failed so horribly at supporting that. Something tells me that lineup would have gone over pretty well in this day in age. My how trends have changed. I still have my unused ticket and shed a tear around this time of year whenever I remember what could have been….

    I don’t understand your comments about Kanye. He’s one of the innovator’s of hip-hop nowadays. Everyone else is regurgitating the same old crap from the 2000s while Kanye is changing the game. Most people I know who are considered rock fans before hip-hop still have mad respect for artists like Kanye and Kid Cudi. Listen deeper to the music. Sure, if you are basing that statement off hearing “Goldigger” at every party you go to, then sure you could say that. It’s one song though. He’s one of the best entertainers in the game right now, and that is why he gets so much rep from blogs like this.

    I don’t really see how you wouldn’t peg ACL and Lolla as destination festivals. They’re in the heart of two of the country’s more popular cities, and they celebrate that year after year. So, because you can’t camp at Lollapalooza/ACL and it’s hot/expensive for hotels, it doesn’t count?

    I want to reply to Mr. Roffman below but cannot do so under his post because the reply button is not working.

    Mr. Roffman, I respect your love of Chicago and apologize for being unfairly harsh on your writing the other day. Please realize that when you live on the other side of the country, sometimes these festivals just don’t look as good to an outsider whose experienced more convenient festival logistics and lineups more tailored to his or her liking.

    I read this site every day so obviously you’re providing quality up to date music news I enjoy reading. I know music fans are passionate to the point of slamming others verbally in these instances, but please accept this post as my apology for being harsh on your criticism yesterday. You’re welcome to your opinion and the last thing I want to do is offend yours and how you add something to the daily music news beat. Let’s let cooler heads prevail and not let this forum drop down to the epic levels of Coachella board proportions.

    PS Whatever happened to Philip Cosores? I miss his reviews in particular.

    It’s so nice to hear and see New Orleans musicians recognized for their hard work and authenticity. This song seems to embrace the modernity of the changing musical landscape while also paying homage to the indubitable sounds of old New Orleans.

    Classic and upbeat, it’s a song I want to dance to!
    Thanks COS.

    mnijm is garbage. They were almost gone with that offbeat cover, but somehow found a way to slime themselves back into the scene with father’s check’s. The pretentious “indie-rock” sensation is equal in talent to the bieber-fever trend and smooth jazzers. I was hoping on this song I wouldn’t hear the same used up material from 90′s heart throb kids, but history is doomed to repeat itself once again. Look deeper in the New Orleans scene and you’ll actually see some really good talent. This is far from it.

    It wasn’t a jab, rather a realistic prediction. They’ll have a new album out by next Coachella. Why couldn’t they be next year’s Kings of Leon?

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    I think you are all idiots. This is the best lineup they have had in the past 3 years. The thing that all music fans can say is that the headliners at these type of fest’s are for your 16 year old sister. If you are going to Lolla you are not going for the headliners. You go for the 100 other bands on the side stage. You go for the Joy Formidable’s of the fest. You go for the Young the Giant, Naked and Famous the Sleigh Bells and Mountain Goats. If you want the Decemberists then you should have gone 2 years ago when they rocked the side stage. If you want Radiohead build a time machine and go back to when they released Paranoid Android. This is a fest more for the up and coming bands then it is for the top 40 music you hear on the radio. This year has better 2nd tier bands then in the past, Flogging Molly, Lykke Li, Ween, Manchester O all bands that have played here before they were as popular as they are now. If you want to bitch about not seeing the bands you want then take note this year and in two years refer to said notes and realize you saw them already. PS I saw a man die at Manchester O when they opened the whole fest 2 years ago. 10:30 on a friday morning.

    This line-up feels like it was custom tailored for me… APC and Deftones are 2 of my favorite bands. Then the Kills, DFA 1979, Muse, Ratatat, Crystal Castles, My Morning Jacket… and then Modeselektor, Bloody Beetroots, Pretty Lights, and Glitch Mob on Perry’s stage?
    Too damn good for me to pass up.
    Plus this could be my only chance ever to catch bands like APC, DFA, and the Kills..
    I’m selling my Bonnaroo ticket and going to Lolla.

  • /users/?user=optional-link-to-your-website Optional: Link to your website

    True. Not that these lineups suck, but tere really needs to be less festivals to bring back that special something that differentiates them all. I’d like to see a few of them die off, like the new ones that keep popping up in every corner of the USA. Time will tell. The economy is getting better so people are spending money. It remains to be seen if the interest in festivals with mostly indie/alternative bands are just a trend. Half the kids I know that go just go because it’s a giant party to them anyway.

    You must have missed their show at Lollapalooza. Or Tips. Or One Eyed Jacks. Or any of the past few years of shows. You know, the ones where everyone was having a good time listening to great music.

    52 songs in 52 weeks isn’t pretentious. Its musicians who take their craft, and themselves, seriously.

    North Coast Music Festival will crush all. It’s an independently run festival that other festivals seem to be copying with booking more and more electronic. NCMF was more fun than any other fest in Chicago last year and it was just their first year…it can only get better.

  • /users/?user=andrew-grow andrew grow

    Kudos on this review! When I first heard the buzz around this band I did what any impressionable/open minded music lover would do and purchased the album. I heard vocal talent but that was about it. The band is treading on ground that has not only been tread before but practically paved, which, in and of itself isn’t always a bad thing. There more than a few great bar bands who make a living at playing your favorite cover and help you have the night of your life, but for The Head and the Heart to be heralded as some sort of break through band is absurd. Again, your review is spot on!

  • /users/?user=alex-young Alex Young

    At least how I see it: If you put together enough of a main stream friendly lineup (in other words, you book Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Eminem, Coldplay, etc.), you’re automatically going to sell out. People want to get the biggest bang out of their buck and the vast majority of the country like these “bigger” bands. So as long as they sell out, these are the type of lineups you’ll be getting. It’s all business.

    Very cool. Although I’m much more a Beatles fan, Paul did some great work with Wings, in particular My Love, Maybe I’m Amazed, and of course Jet. Those would be my picks. And it’s really cool to see his stuff re-released. I’m very interested in seeing the stuff on the DVDs actually, more so than the CDs.

    I thought the song at the beginning of the show did set the tone for the rest of the show. I am also a big fan of his album Mr. Show and of his standup comedy in general. I have been a little out of the loop when it comes to comedy but thanks to a friend I work with at Dish Network that recommended the special to me I got the chance to watch it. The Epix channel is pretty good about showing HD movies and some comedy specials from time to time but I really enjoyed this one. It was usual David Cross with a little less anger than a few of his other albums. I would recommend this comedy special to my friends or anyone who likes David’s style of comedy.

    Musical Sensibility, really? Check your facts, because it sounds like you hate these guys simply for being fortunate. Knowing them personally, these guys tour under funds either raised by themselves or from shows they’ve already played. They work their asses off within this band, and outside of it at regular jobs. They’re the only band doing the style they do, and many of this love them for it. It’s not just stupid to write what you just did on a piece promoting something that they have put their heart and soul into, but it’s also stupid to assume that anyone would want to “look deeper into New Orleans” if you and the type of pretentiousness you yourself are promoting is what we’re going to find. Bitch to your friends about it, if you have any, don’t shit on MNIJM’s press. I hope this clears some things up without me coming off as rude as you do.
    Or if you’d rather do this your style, come to one of the shows, my name is Nick, I’ll be front and center of the crowd, say things like you just said above to my face and I’ll kick your Musical teeth down your Sensible fucking throat.
    Kisses.

    I disagree with everything in this review. But hey that’s what music is all about. This is not the best BFS album but they are still a brilliant band managing to mix humour with great song writing and energy. And the band’s sound has changed a lot since the first couple of albums.

    I saw them all on that 95 tour. It was before Foos released their debut LP. Mike Watt had a song out called “The Kids of Today Should Protect Themselves From the Seventies”, which had Eddie Vedder on lead vocals. It was a very loud affair in a small venue. It was a great show.

  • /users/?user=jsroyse2 Jsroyse2

    I agree with most people, this lineup doesn’t compare to the last two years which were fantastic. Most of the bigger bands playing are not that great, but you guys need to check out some of the smaller bands. Some of the smaller bands this year are fantastic. I advise many of you to check out Portugal The Man, Maps & Atlases, Wye Oak (The drummer uses one arm to drum, and the other to play a keyboard!), Mayor Hawthorne & The County, and Titus Andronicus (who are known to have an amazing live show). Check out the smaller bands before you guys start bitching, even though I agree some of the headliners do suck.

  • /users/?user=handbanana HandBanana

    I don’t care if it’s a punk, metal, country or an electronic festival… Someone needs to just put a leash on these things. It’s cool to have more options, but it’s like a new one sprouts up each day whether it be touring or multi-day. Today’s IDENTITY Festival is tomorrow’s H.O.R.D.E. Tour.

  • /users/?user=anthony-biedenkapp Anthony Biedenkapp

    Maybe they forgot, or this was way before their time, but it’s surely not the “first-ever touring electronic ONLY music festival,”. We had the Big Top Tour back in 1997. You could argue that if you took that lineup from 1997, and had it in 2011 it is better then the lineup for this festival tour. With that said, if this hits my area, I’d most likely go as well.

    @RaoulDuke … you win hands down for worst unexpected/uninvited guest … hope that at some point Bonnaroo karma paid you back in a good way for having to deal with that … sidenote, I caught Arcade Fire in Chicago last Sunday … I’m a fan and was very pleased with their show (2nd night of a three night run) … high energy, just the more well-known stuff … was a little short (think it was about a 90 minute set) … fans of theirs at Bonnaroo will certainly get what they came for (just don’t expect a long set a la Radiohead or Pearl Jam), and those that don’t know them well will definitely enjoy hearing a band that can keep a big crowd engaged …

    @ Dan – Never seen dmb, not a fan. Trust me when I tell u I am far from a ‘bro’. Never been to a frat house in my life. The band I’m actually most excited to see this year are the local natives, but a lineup tht includes at least 15-20 good bands worth seeing is just stupid, especially when you never get to see all of them anyways. And then there are times where all of a sudden no one on any of the stages interests you, so u venture to other stages in hope of finding something to keep your interest for 15-20mins. If they don’t, walk away, if they do, great, you just found another band to add to your cd collection. Its what festivals are all about. So like I said, if you don’t like it , don’t go. and don’t tell me who perry should’ve added to the lineup. Find out what festivals those bands are playing and go to thier message boards.

You said earlier “I’m sure there’s some noname bands that u music snobs could find to headline” and now you are saying fests are all about finding new, lesser known music. Which one is it? I agree with this comment you made, but you sounded completely different in the other. Until the headliners are Lady Gaga, Bieber, Kesha, Kings of Leon, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Nickleback, I’ll continue to go to Lolla. I go every year, and it’s probably my favorite weekend of the year…..I also never said anything about Perry’s.

Noel still has to release his solo stuff, which won’t be anything as popular as Oasis. Then they’ll make up, reunite, fight again, and break up, because that’s what Gallaghers do.

    Dullest rock album of the year I have heard so far- a couple of tracks arent bad (first couple, and possibly last), but as a whole theres nothing truly memorable, and youll end up falling asleep halfway through. Despite going back to the harsher sound of their debut, its radio friendly and nothing new – so will likely be on a loop on the national stations soon enough as each single is released. Hopefully they will give a better result with their next album in a couple of yrs. still a fan :(

I guess he’s not a founding member but he’s been there for all their studio albums and I would consider him as part of the band as much as Banks/Kessler. Sounds like a good time though, wish I would have been there.

  • /users/?user=steph Steph

    You guys are ridiculous. I’m not sure you got the right CD? Such a harsh review on such a great album. You’re trying too hard to stick them in to a genre where they don’t belong. Next time you review a The Sounds album, maybe someone that ISN’T partially retarded should review it.

  • /users/?user=jp JP

    Yeah, good point. I’d like to give a big middle finger to everyone who posted a fake lineup.

  • /users/?user=swinners Swinners

    This review is ridiculously closed-minded. Everyone is welcome to their opinions, but would you really WANT Bowling for Soup to be all mature and serious? No, the allure of this band is their immaturity and general entertainment quality. Which they excel at.

    It’s impossible to listen to this album and not smile. And that’s what makes a great record. And the fact that you’re so “doubtful” about new fans proves your ignorance. I know many NEW BFS fans that love the band. Just because the reviewer’s now old and is going through a mid-life crisis doesn’t mean you have to hate on the band. They’re having fun, their listeners are having fun, and you’re being whiny. You tell me who’s wrong in this situation :)

    I don’t understand why this got 3.5 stars as opposed to 4.5 — it’s praised throughout the review, and is hardly criticized about feeling like a “concept” album, and even closes off saying it’s great.

    That being said, if this album “matches every expectation that was laid out by 2009′s ‘Mean Everything to Nothing’,” then I will be an incredibly happy camper, as MEtN was one of my favorite albums put out in the last couple of years. MO is a band you’ll all need to watch; they hardly disappoint.

    After listening to the stream a few times over, this record is great. The first listen through, I was thrown off a little, just because it’s so different than their first two albums. After I was able to dissect it more, I really appreciate what they did with this album. I hate when bands stick to one sound. All three albums have their own vibe. They are also one of my favorite live acts and a must-see for those who never have. In fact, I’ll be seeing them at the Metro tonight!!! I can’t wait!

    I’ve had this album for some time now, and while there’s nothing particularly wrong with it… It’s just not that exciting.

    Did you actually listen to this album… and all the way through? You’ve only mentioned the first four songs on this album. This is a pathetic review. There is a straightforwardness to the songs, but to say there are no hooks and a lack of vocal melodies… what are you on? In my opinion this is one of the best vocalists I’ve heard in a long time from an indie pop band. Not only is their power and feeling in the voice, but the high range stays together with impressive clarity – and the scream?

    Listen to the rest of the album. If you don’t like it, it’s obviously not your thing – but I strongly recommend this album, and think there are a lot of strengths and more songs worth mention than you have listed here. At the very least – why not mention “We Sing in Time”, arguably one of their most popular songs? It’s worth mentioning at the least.

    Not sure. Set lists fluctuate anyhow. Tacking on one or two wouldn’t necessitate any songs to really be nixed. If they had to, I would probably have a couple tunes sit out, namely “Big Me” or “Cold Day in the Sun”. The former is great, but it could be changed up some now.

    35 Days! Looking for a little advice … does anyone know if they are going to be letting people in all night long (since the gates are opening at 7 PM)? Also, my group always drives in from the north (heading south on I-24 from Nashville), and typically we end up having to go through the Bushy Branch Rd. entrance gate, which is hit or miss on where you get stuck camping … last year, because of the flooding/organizational issues we entered through the gate right off of I-24 north. We’d like to do that again, however, they always have the exit ramps closed just south of Manchester to prevent everyone from turning around … Does anyone know an easy way to skirt that or know how far south you have to go before you can turn around and get back on the highway heading north?

BEAT, the FLOW, its ALL a PARODY, get it? listen to it again bro, the beauty is “people who think” who like real music, will eventually “get it”, others who like the exact music hes mocking, will prolly jus like song not knowin the meaning, lol, he gains new (waka,wayne) fans while keeping his own, GENIUS – IMN4ever

    I’d have to agree with your overall review.

    The crowd: it may have just been that I was unfortunate enough to get balcony tickets during the presale (man I hate scalpers), but there was a constant flux of people coming and going. Over the many shows I’ve been to, I’ve probably only seen more movement at Coachella, where experimentation leads to boredom much easier. I think this comes from two parts about the band.

    The songs: let me preface this by saying I LOVE the Foxes. One of my top three bands, and it’s because my personality, having grown up in the mountains, resonates really well with their rare reverence for simpler lives. At any rate, at this point in their career, many of their songs translate to sounding pretty similar in energy live. In general they’re a very mellow sounding band, even after the new crazy sax solos. So an already impatient crowd would definitely be more impatient when many of the songs bleed together. I feel like they got too popular too fast, and many of the people who showed up were checking them out, and the Foxes are a band that you need to know the songs to feel the energy live. I was pretty shocked when I saw many people leave about 3/4s through the show. Finally…

    The stage: I couldn’t agree more with your talk about their stage presence – it’s nonexistent. When Robin did talk, it was very muffled and you couldn’t really hear what he said. The first time I saw them it was at a considerably larger venue, and they were all just as shy then, like they couldn’t wait to get off the stage. I thought it was being nervous with such a large crowd, and the more intimate venue of the Fox would allow them to break out of their shell… but they didn’t. They have a very strong presence on their records and definitely are well beyond their career years in that department, but they haven’t figured it out for the stage. Something you didn’t mention that I found striking was the actual songs – they never deviated from the recorded versions save for the ever present lack of including a sonically difficult sound (i.e. some random one time effect that was on the record). For instance, I was VERY surprised when they played “The Shrine/An Argument” verbatim from the record – it’s such a long and improvised feeling song on the record that it was really weird that none of it was improvised live. I never really felt like I was seeing a live interpretation of the recorded songs, but rather, a recital. I mean, I loved the show, but that’s because I’m a die hard fan. I wish they would break out of their shells and embrace the energy, because it would make all the difference in all of the above… but in the end that’s probably not them anyway.

    Overall, it was a treat for the familiar listener, but it didn’t hold the magic of a live production. When a band isn’t having fun, it’s hard to take your excitement to that next level. Granted their songs aren’t really about excitement, but excitement from a live show can be that “my mind was just blown” reaction to a passionate performance. Passion wasn’t really a factor last night.

    Out of all of these, I could see David Lynch curating something at ATP. I think there’s too many festivals out there as it is, though, so unless it’s there or some stage at Primavera, I don’t need it. The market is supersaturated with festivals, Coachella is en route to becoming the American Glastonbury and above all, these things are drawing more celebrities and people who just want to say they went rather than actual music fans. Pretty soon, we’ll be having updates from E! News Daily from Indio as they interview Kate Hudson or the cast of Glee before they head off to watch The Coathangers.

    I do, in fact, agree with the sentiment of ‘Musical Sensibility’ but I will try to give my reasons in a more reasonable, respectful manner. I’ve have known John Michael for several years, and yes I don’t like him as a person. He is overtly pretentious, but tries to hide it by always being annoyingly humbling.

    I agree that John Michael is a very talented guitarist (note: guitarist, not songwriter/band leader) but that doesn’t mean you can write great song, or even a decent one. And surrounding yourself by some of ‘the best’ musicians in New Orleans doesn’t mean it will work. Admittedly I haven’t listened to every single one of his songs, but all the ones I have heard are barely passable as generic ‘indie rock’ songs that rely heavily on horns and predictable build ups to keep peoples attention.

    It’s also funny that most of his band quit a few months ago. I think only one person stayed on board. Yeah, he must be a real great guy.

    Like, I said, aside from not liking him personally, watching his live show, and listening to his music makes me hate most music and musicians. Relying on gimmicks like hitting a trashcan with a chain to distract from the fact your actual songs suck, etc. Also, watching him ‘perform’ makes me ill. Its as if he read a book entitled ‘how to act like a rockstar while performing’. Everything seems so calculated, and it is the opposite of ‘the soul’ of New Orleans music.

    If Monahan isn’t doing everything he can to secure Jimmy Buffett than I’ve lost all hope in his ability to run this show. Fan or not of Buffett you can’t deny he is a whole different level of musician, a touring megaforce and one of those marquee names that adds instant global cred to the festival not to mention the fact that he’d be the only name on the bill that has anything to do with the Vwegas theme.

    To a lesser extent both Metallica and Elton John also provide the same type of international credibilty but I’m thinking Monahan is holding off on those two acts specifically because he doesn’t want our line up to be a carbon copy of Quebec City Summerfest…which, if true, is a stupid reason.

    There’s absolutely no reason a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie should exist (even if Johnny Depp does want another vacation home somewhere). ”
    Hmm, I have a pretty good reason. How about, the *fans* still want more Pirates? That this sequel is definitely better than the last two?
    The vacation home thing is trashy. I’ll let you know when the Disney people were rearing to start work on POTC 5, it was Depp who told them to hold off for a bit.
    You may not want to see it, but I can vouch for a thousand other fans, who do.
    Also, I’m glad Bloom and Knightley aren’t going to drag down the movie anymore. Keira is a fantastic actress, but her character got too bratty and wearying. Orlando can still be seen doing the same thing in Musketeers, and I definitely won’t miss him here. Plus, they had their happy ending at the end of AWE. You can’t expect them to be dragged out any longer!
    On the soundtrack- I dislike the inclusion of so many remixes here. What is this, a club track album?
    I do like the original tracks- they’re a mix between COTBP and DMC, and Rodrigo y Gabriela bring a different flavour to the track.

    Yes, I am bothered, bothered by the fact that some sites need to mention Radiohead for everything, mostly if hinting at some type of ‘fail’ by their part, what to me is idiot and unfair towards the band. I don’t need to ‘suck Thom Yorke’s dong’ to see this ‘let’s wish Radiohead fails’ bandwagon happening here. But… sorry haters, they are far from that.

    Exactly. I mean take a look at coachella. Despite having macca in 2009, didn’t sell out. Despite having roger waters and prince in 2008… didn’t sell out. Why bother pay huge sums of money for these artists if no ones gonna pay to go see them.

    Its unfortunate because I agree. These headliners would be amazing and there’s no way I would be able to pay to go see them individually on top of all the other shows and festivals. It’s like green day (not that green day and any of the artists mentioned before are on the same level) headlining lolla last year. Eighth grade nostalgia? Yep. Would I ever pay for a green day show normally. Not a chance. Yet it was awesome and only there would I get that experience

No wonder this country is messed up, when people listen to this kind of music with profanity, sexual garbage and violence, they think it is all right. First of all don’t give me that crap about freedom of speech, freedom of speech is not about behaving or acting like this, if the founding fathers who wrote the freedom of speech found out that it would end up like this they would be devastated. When I look at the kids today they all have filthy things coming out of their mouth with no respect for anyone, sleeping around with everyone, no wonder half of them are suffering from STD’s and other sexual diseases. This kind of crap has to stop, again I know you want to curse or beat the hell out of me, but I know that there are still decent people out there who think that this kind of stuff Is wrong and it is wrong. We have taken freedom of speech and threw it in a toilet ball with raw sewage swimming around it. The way society is going the way it is (Lack of respect, STD’s, Violence, Divorces, anything goes and nothing is wrong any more) imagine how bad it is going to be in another 25 years, we have to change our ways and become decent with high morals or this country is going to go down. Again I know most of you reading this don’t give a crap and are laughing at me really hard, but that’s the truth.

    @popmart00   If you don’t like the music, don’t listen to it.  Nobody wants to hear how explicit music is ruining the youth.  Don’t like it? Don’t comment on it? Tyler is really talented and thats what matters. Nobody wants to hear your comments about this.

  • /users/?user=jchristian jchristian

    Popmart00 is right on! That all of the “Cool” people will be listening to this as if it is Hendrix or even Public Enemy is laughable. I am surprised that CoS didn’t give it 5-stars; they are usually the sycophants when it comes to this type of bullshit. Tyler, the instigator, useless garbage. But he’s got us talking about him, and that’s all he really wants. Lets make another moronic idiot a billionaire. Sad state of “music” today.

    If you listened to his music, you would understand that he’s being sarcastic and just doesn’t care.

That said, I do agree with some of this review, as it’s very disjointed and I absolutely despise “Bitch Suck Dick”. There’s no hiding the fact that Tyler is pretty talented, and the beats on Goblin are great, but I also think he has a lot of room to grow.

     I agree with @ab18afa58c9b01e7d1353023e23d4b28:disqus . If you guys don’t like the critics evaluation, why even read it. You guys obviously sat and listened to the album, or you didn’t and are just saying thats its garbage. Its a form of expression. He’s creative, and hes the one willing to go where other artists wont. And thats what ART is. You have to go beyond common boundaries to get yourself out there. Thats why he made those comments about Bruno Mars and B.o.B. he doesn’t hate them directly, he justs hates the brand of music they put out because he sees no originality and creative process about it. He’s an artist, in its purest form. All artists speak through their upbringing, and he has had a troubled youth. And this is s how he voices himself. His dad left him, his mom left him. How angry wouwould you be if your parents left you? All he’s doing is expressing himself. Granted, the violence and sadistic tendencies are overwhelming at points, but dont you think people were overwhelmed when someone painted the first icture of a naked woman. or a picture of a couple having sex. or the first slasher flick. itss expression. nothing more nothing less.

    For all of the haters here… obviously no one is forcing you to listen.  Okay.  Great.  But Jay-Z really captured these criticisms very well in his book.  If you think that Tyler is really out there smoking crack, raping nuns, and puking on schoolchildren, I’ve got news for you… Matt Damon does not go out between Bourne movies and kill CIA agents.  Pacino… he wasn’t really in the mob.  Since everyone here should be able to agree that being a musician TODAY is about more than what your music sounds like.  People create images.  They create characters.  These are the characters that these people have chosen to create.  If you don’t like those characters, retreat to CBS where it is nice and safe.

  • /users/?user=michael-roffman Michael Roffman

    Good points, but flawed – somewhat. They may be creating characters, but it doesn’t come off that way to plenty of people. Look at what happened in Boston. Go watch the video on Pitchfork: http://pitchfork.com/news/42513-riot-breaks-out-at-tyler-the-creator-signing/ The fan himself says it best, claiming that’s what they’ve come to expect from them. I think there’s a difference here, simply because there’s a new evolution going on right now. There’s less of a barrier between fans and artists, given Twitter and Facebook, and especially for a group like Odd Future which was born from that, so many folks consider it real. It’s similar to the way some viewers think reality television is just that…reality. It’s not, but…it doesn’t change the fact that some people take it that way. Now, you can make the argument that this sort of reasoning could be applied to a variety of formats – as you have with Bourne and Pacino – but when the lines are so blurred as they are here with such a new and innovative group, you’re going to see some very impressionable people. The Boston incident is a great example of that. So, yes, you’re right, they ARE characters, but to counterpoint, or just play Devil’s advocate, Odd Future keep their foot in the door between reality and fiction.

I don’t understand having Ray LaMontagne overlapping with the Decemberists but I’ll do what I can to catch about an hour of both. Really wanted to see the Del McCoury Band collaboration with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band but it starts to close to the Jacket, so I’ll have to miss it. Glad I get to see all of Mumford, Black Keys and Buffalo Springfield. Late nights are pretty disappointing but I don’t really like getting freaky with all the drugged-out weirdos. Only late night bands I wanted to see were SCI, Dr John with the Meters and Allen Toussaint, and Bootsy Collins. Also don’t understand scheduling Dr John and Bootsy at the same time. Of course Sunday pre-headliner slot seems to be the worst of all. I’m gonna go with all of Plant and the last 45 minutes of Explosions in the Sky. Sucks to miss the SuperJam, especially because I know the guy playing sax in it – Brian Olive (formerly of the Greenhornes).

     Actually, as happens many times with people who play their music so loud in their cars and drop their bass so it rattles my core, I will probably be forced to listen to this. Knowing that the person playing this music is getting enjoyment out of listening to lyrics about my gender being raped and desecrated is absolutely terrifying. Music doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

  • /users/?user=tyler Tyler

     the way I see it, either:
    - He’s making a career out of stereotypical hipster irony, where all of his lyrics are mocking rap and hip-hop tendencies. I remember a lecture by Ian MacKaye where when asked what he thought of the reliance of artists on irony as a platform he said: “Eh, fuck irony.” It’s totally devoid of any meaning and just attacks others who try to have a purpose; it shows that the artist is just stuck in the mire of post-modernism. And how lame is it that Tyler and all his fans can sustain such a weak joke for so long, with so much faux-enthusiasm? It’s been done before and it wont last.
    - or, he’s simply rehashing the same bullshit every other rapper has done for the past 20 years, and all of his fans are just desperate to cling on to something relatively obscure. E

  • /users/?user=chip-fennema Chip Fennema

    With more surprises to come, for me, this is incredible. SXSW has been a good indicator of what to expect, here again, same case. People criticize Kanye, but he is an amazing perfomer. His SXSW show was incredible, the whole GOOD family + Jay-z for free, you can’t really beat that. Probably won’t get all of Yeezy’s friends at ACL, but i don’t doubt he will give another emotional, hit-filled performance, i would not miss this one, unless of course, Kanye was at the same time as Jim James and his mates. Oh, and if you don’t think MMJ deserves a headlining spot, i think you may be crazy. ACL 2011 is looking like it’s going to put up a big fight for COS’s festival of the year! As an Austinite, i’m so happy with this lineup!

  • /users/?user=handbanana HandBanana

    MMJ is the kind of band who can only headline a festival if the festival compliments them. ACL does that. Anyhow, there’s been too many festivals this year and at this point, I’m sick of seeing Kanye and Arcade Fire’s names everywhere so consider me indifferent toward the excitement. Things aren’t the same anymore in that regard thanks to other festivals watering down each other.

    I see your point that all artists create characters whose attitudes and beliefs may be different from their own personal style.  But to compare movie characters’ actions to that of musicians’ is a little far fetched.  So many movies – especially the ones you listed – are sensationlized to the point that it’s obvious the characters do not carry these practices over to their personal life.  No duh Matt Damon isn’t killing CIA agents.  Music is different though.  There have been generations upon generations of artists/bands who use music as a medium to speak their thoughts, beliefs, and morals.  Their craft and their real-life actions are one in the same.  Not saying that this is always the case with Tyler, but when the (mostly) vulgar subject matter of his music mirrors his actions on Twitter and in reality, it’s hard for people to distinguish the two. 

    Or maybe he’s just music’s Borat.

    Some of your dates are misleadingly off. When WOR-FM switched to rock in 1966, it was the first commercial station to do so, and Scott Muni was part of the line-up. Muni, who before WOR-FM, had been primarily associated with WABC AM, didn’t move to WNEW-FM until 1967 — after WOR-FM adopted a Drake-driven playlist format which prompted the resignations of Murray the K and Rosko Mercer. Pete Fornatale didn’t sign on at WNEW-FM until 1969.

    It’s not bonkers when I also have tickets to Sasquatch, and the only thing that would get me to pick ACL over that would be quality headliners, which is where ACL blew it. Sasquatch gets much better “mid-majors,” while the other festivals splurge more on headliners. There is a reason CoS picked Sasquatch this year as its feature festival. For a 10th year celebration, I just really don’t understand why ACL would jump for lamestream headliners that every other huge festival also got this year. MMJ even did Sasquatch a year ago, that’s how dated these picks are.

I have always loved this band, the singing, the bluesy jazzy jangley loveliness. The lyrics which have been called cliche or self indulgent or preachy that is what I loved. None of these things are in Mine is Yours, this album makes me sad. I give Sensitive kid and Louder than Ever half each so 1/10.

Personally I like tyler I think he’s amazingly talented and agree fully with MJ miami about the character creation, but you ca’t solely rely on the shock of a rapist serial killer to carry a whole album. Which he doesn’t and i think the highest points of the album is when he moves away from that theme a little bit. But hell he’s 19/20 years old that in its self is amazing when you consider what he’s achieved

    Sasquatch doesn’t get huge headliners by design, which allows them to spend their money on beefing up the mid and low tiers. And since the headliners it does get would often be sub-headlining other festivals, you get to see them play much longer and more awesome sets than they would if they had to open for Kanye. Seeing Massive Attack headline last year was the best show I’ve ever seen, and this year Wilco gets a 2 hour set. Plus: the setting blows everywhere else out of the water.

    You’re 100% correct Noah.  The reviewer talks of Norah Jones as though she’s some green songstress who’s never performed anything worth listening to.  Just because CoS and every other music source wants to crown Jack White and Danger Mouse as the two greatest musicians in the last 100 years, doesn’t mean they are.  They’ve, no doubt, created some excellent music, but it’s not like they are so unbelievably talented that nobody else should ever perform with them.

    Interesting article.
    I have one point though.  Can we draw parallels with downloading music illegally, and checking out books from the library?  This is one avenue that I have not seen any authors pursue yet.
    For example, what would the music industry be like if they allowed people to legally download (or ‘check out’) an album, allowing ’5 free listens’ before the music ‘expired’ forcing the listener to purchase the album if they wish to continue to listen to it?  I’m sure that technology is capable to making this happen.  Streams only work to a certain extent – i.e, you must be on a device that has internet connection.
    This is my main issue with music today, much the same as the movie industry ($10 to watch a new release?!?!) it is too expensive, particularly with the quantity and variety to the person with an average interest and competence online.  Call it entitlement if you want, but it’s the reality of the market right now – I will exercise my ability to ‘try before I buy’, but I would change habits if there were better options.

    festivals are great and all, but come on Alex, you know you would rather have a plethora of shows each month instead…

    You don’t get a true picture of an artist until you hear “their” show, not a 30-60 minute clip of them

    I liken a festival to a buffet where you can have a taste and go get a new plate when you realize you don’t like it….

    Nice review. There’s a lot of lavish critical praise for this album but to me it feels like a somewhat dated carbon copy of their 90′s records.

    “The Beasties’ secret weapon has always been the songs’ devastatingly danceable beats, but Hot Sauce seems rather mechanical in its movements. If you were b-boying to this, you’d be doing the robot instead of 6-stepping.”

    Marvin Gaye’s music is still missed. Imagine what more he would have created. Gaye’s “What’s Going On” was a departure from his love songs of the past. Inspired by his brother’s experiences in Vietnam, Gaye’s masterpiece was almost not released by Motown head Berry Gordy, who didn’t believe it was commercial. On my Rockaeology blog at http://bit.ly/fIqvPt is the story of the innovative studio techniques, like dual lead vocal tracks, that helped make “What’s Going On” revolutionary.

    I had a different take on this show. Personally I thought the intimate setting was too constrained for them. I’ve seen them at the aragon twice and thought that in the case of this band, bigger is better. The way they rework their songs live just sounds so much better in a larger space with a few thousand other people singing along. (Although I loved their inclusion of songs like Photobooth and 405)

    Although it could just be a personal thing. I saw the LCD Soundsystem show at the metro last year and thought their pitchfork set was miles better. At least for me these intimate metro shows are a bit overrated. Crowd there is never fun.

That’s not a matter of “hating on the current incarnation of SNL”, that’s just a personal observation of the way things unfolded this past season. There were some very enjoyable sketches throughout the season; unfortunately, none from tonight would make my personal best-of list for this season.

    I actually saw Rammstein in Canada and spoke to members of the band about the Jimmy Kimmel performance. There were various legal issues that had to be arranged via their lawyer in Germany because they wanted to perform “Pussy”, but the strict censorships laws wouldn’t allow them to sing “pussy” and “dick” or use their penis styled flesh pink cannon that shoots out foam into the crowd as they do at their shows. American TV is so damn petty! It would’ve been GREAT if they had gone and performed “Pussy” and Till went ahead and sang the original lyrics, but it wouldn’t have been great if they got arrested for it, then deported and tour dates cancelled. Yeah, America is ridiculous for silly rules. Here in Europe we can put up with a few pussies and dicks on TV now and then!
    For everyone’s knowledge, Till and Flake were arrested for perfomring “an obscene act” onstage on the Family Values Tour back in 1998. Not sure which state the incident happened in.

    This is a terrible album. It’s all over the place, the melodies don’t carry on for more than a few seconds and the production is overblown. Another review I read called it the worst album from a big mainstream act since Madonna’s American Life. The only difference is that album at least came with a slightly more original direction from an original pop musician. I say Born This Way is right up their with Kelly Clarkson’s My December in terms of quality because I have a feeling Lady Gaga actually did write these songs this time around and that’s why they’re so bad (I don’t think she actually wrote the hits from her first two albums. That’s just a recording industry marketing ploy. Avril Lavigne used to say the same thing, then her star fell and The Matrix bashed her for claiming the credit.) I agree with any and all criticisms made about this album, but I personally think a lot of people are afraid to criticize it. The album will sell a million or more copies by the end of the week and if the hits don’t come as easy as The Fame or The Fame Monster, they’ll just hire better writers and make Lady Gaga put out another album a year from now.

    At first, the entire cultish, gothy thing was cool but now it seems to have gotten away from itself as a visual trend when making music. The new Vaccines video is all dark and gothy, then we have the band aptly named “Cults,” and then there’s WU LYF being all mysterious and cultlike. I’m not holding this against this album since I’ve yet to check it out, but where as last year we had genuine goth musicians such as Zola Jesus, I’m beginning to think everyone else is just playing dress up.

    I don’t think that is the case at all. This review was very fair in pointing out both the good and bad while giving Lady Gaga more credit than she probably deserves. If you ask me, the reviewer was too generous. 3 stars is a pretty decent review. If the reviewer had taken issue with Lady Gaga herself, I don’t think the score would be that high and much of the review talks more about what falls short with the music rather than what’s to be disliked about Lady Gaga.

    I have a cousin from New orleans who looks a lot like Marvin Gaye and sings as good as he did also.  If Mr. Temple is looking for the right person to play Marvin, he would be willing to audition for the part, and trust me…he would be no diappointment for tihs role because  MG was his idol.

    I thought the same thing since nearly every song was written with Relentless7. Some of the songs, like “Rock N’ Roll Is Free” and “Clearly Severely” sound like they could have been on the 2nd Relentless7 album, which I thought I read was already completed. I wonder if Ben Harper put this out as a solo album so he could finish up his Virgin contract and move on.

    I say hats off to Monahan and his colleagues. I think the lineup is great and better than last year. Last years hit the classic rock a bit heavy, this year hits the alternative/indie scene a bit heavier. Better for those in the 25-40 year of age window. And next year? I say if you don’t know the bands, start looking into them, there are some fantastic acts and I’m just loving what I’m able to hear from the ones that were new to me a couple of weeks ago.

    This is a very well written review that is fair and balanced.   I’m happy that MMJ continues to branch out and experiment with new sounds.   Sure, they could have put together another jam album but really, they’ve been there, done that already.   This is a cohesive album that I think will go down as a classic.

  • /users/?user=jeff Jeff

    Gotta do something about the Boom Boom tent.  It was too small and too close to the Surf Style stage.  Too many people hanging outside the Boom Boom tent and making it impossible to walk to/from the Surf Style stage.  Cant really make the festival any bigger but maybe smaller (25,0000 would be sufficient), the festival is on too narrow space of land for 35,000 compared to a Voodoo, ACL, or Lollapalooza.  Other than that one of the best festivals i have been to.   

  • /users/?user=jj JJ

    Agreed. They need to either make it a bigger area or a smaller amount of ppl. Missed bassnectar and girl talk bc of that. They need to have more conflicts as well. The schedule was too easy going. I appreciate the conflicts at other festa now.

    Great weekend all in all. I personally had a blast sticking my feet in the sand while watching some amazing music. You can’t get that at any other festivals. Do they have some kinks to work out logistically? Absolutely!!! Did the security and overall amount of police presence put a damper on things? WITHOUT A DOUBT!!! Everywhere you looked there was some sort of F’n narc ready to pounce on a fester just trying to relax & shmoke a doob. After 15 years of attending festivals nationwide, this was by far, the most difficult security I have ever gone through. They took my water (essential human nutrient) for Pete’s sake! Oh, and the Surf Style Stage was the worst stage I have ever seen at a festival. You couldn’t hear anything unless you were within the first 100 yards of the stage! Add some damn delay sound stacks, and raise the screens about 30 feet, and you have a good stage. Downright stupid and poorly thought out. Hopefully they will work out these issues by next year.

    Codes and Keys is to KOL’s Only By the Night…. It’s geared for mass consumption and radio friendly airplay…. They are “trying to make it big”.  I don’t blame them, I think they could be one of the next group of bands that becomes a national headliner at fests…..

    Very catchy album with tons of chorus hooks.  I find myself singing their choruses as I walk through the hallways of my work.

    Not their best, but definitely their most accessible

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    I understand that DCFC is not a “huge act”, but they have been headlining major festivals for years now, including Sasquatch this year.  I really don’t see them getting much bigger than they are now.  Some people may like their radio songs, as they did with “Cath”, but I think most radio listeners won’t go past that.  Their sound doesn’t translate to the masses as much as a KOL album may.  Not to mention, DCFC make 1000x better music than KOL.

  • /users/?user=handbanana HandBanana

    I’d have to disagree to some extent with ghost that never lies… and side Dan. I think Plans was by far their most accessible album to date (“Soul Meets Body” was a hit, “I’ll Follow You Into the Dark” was nominated for a Grammy, “Crooked Teeth” was a semi-hit and the songs there overall were fashioned toward radio play being it their major label debut.) Based on interviews with the band and the slump that was Narrow Stairs, I fully expected Codes and Keys to be an even bigger sounding album than anything. It’s not, based on my listens. It sounds more upbeat than Narrow Stairs, has a few singles, but mass consumption? Probably not. It’s too low-key on the deep cuts. This should have been the point for them to graduate from mid-large tier act to arena rockers, but nothing here indicates there’s a song to make them that big. I don’t think they want to be much bigger than they are now.

    I absolutely love this song! I just told my husband that when we renew our vowels I want this song playing. Beyonce is doing a beautiful job with her new music and I like the fact that I don’t have to listen to the same old stuff from her. She’s coming with something new and I giver her kudos for that. All of the people that’s saying they don’t like it now will be bobbing their heads to it in a little while when she takes over and her CD sales go through the roof.

  • /users/?user=jchristian jchristian

    Death Cab could easily move into the mainstream big time with this album, and leave the indie world behind for good. Coming on the heels of their Chronicle Book, where there is a copy of a list of things they wanted from a record deal, this has the feel of a band looking for serious airplay on top 40 radio, opening slots on the next Kings of Leon tour, and arena headlining slots. Thanks guys, its been a pleasure!

    death cab is a band I want to move forward. Honestly what song besides the lead single will get any airtime whatsoever? This isn’t anything like only by the night. Not even a little. This album is low key and just so…. forgettable. I wanted (and expected) bigger. Hopefully it’ll grow on me

    Agreed – this year’s line-up is about 200% better than last year (what was the worst year in the last 8 years).  I think this year is better because of a lower budget (and ticket prices), necessitating more “indie” bands and less arena rock bands.  Winner?  All of us!

    While I agree with your overall disagreement, saying it’s the best since plans is just saying that it’s better than Narrow Stairs – which imo isn’t saying a lot.

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

     Gotta disagree, ghost.  If there was an album that was for radio airplay, it had to be Plans.  Soul Meets Body, Crooked Teeth, and of course the song that Death Cab can’t sing (because the crowd does it for them), Follow You Into the Dark all got serious airplay.  Out in Seattle, so did Marching Bands (and “your love is gonna drown” is hard to get out of your head once it gets in there).  Coming after signing to a major label, it was obviously well crafted to appeal to the masses…without not being DCFC.  As for the rest..I believe DCFC sold out Key Arena in Dec 06 (or at least whatever of it they had available to sell), they’re headlining Sasquatch this year, theyve headlined smaller festivals quite a bit…opening for Kings of Leon would be a step down for them right now (and I say this as a big KoL fan)

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    You’re echoing a lot of what ghost said below, and a lot of what I said to them applies here too.  The band is already a big mainstream band, they headline tours, and there are very few bands they could open for on tour without it being weird or a co-headline spot.  Almost nothing on this record feels like traditional top 40, so if they get a lot of airplay, it’s a testament to the quality of the songs, not their ability to write radio friendly unit shifters.

    3M Orlando Nike Air Force Ones

    I spoke about Emmanuelabor’s Pennies from Heaven Air Force Ones yesterday in length. The Air Force Ones shown in this post complete the designer’s thread regarding Anfernee womens nike free Penny Hardaway. These special shoes are less obvious for sneaker fans unfamiliar with the NBA guard’s career than the simple penny design used previously.
    Emmanuelabor used the black/silver/blue colorway featured on old Orlando cheap nike free 3.0 Magic jerseys as the palette for these customs. The center womens air max 95 panel is kept dark blue with a black swoosh to match the dark blue outsole. The designer applied silver paint to the rest of the shoe that creates slight reflection with direct light.
    I think the Pennies cheap nike 6.0 mavrk from Heaven design is stronger than the 3M Orlando shoe. The small touches and unique color of the Pennies from Heaven Air Force Ones are refreshing in a market filled with silver, black and blue shoes. I hope that Emmanuelabor uses his love of basketball and custom design to pump out some more sneakers in the near future.

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    I think Nick has it – they won’t announce something like the dates as if  anyone cares 10 months out.  A fourth day could be that big.  A big “get” in terms of a headliner could do it too, especially a band that’s broken up.

  • /users/?user=george George

    and radiohead is headlining every night, well thursday is thom and johnny

    And if the announcement is not announcing a 4th day, the only other thing I could think of would be them moving the venue to somewhere other than Polo Field.

  • /users/?user=handbanana HandBanana

    That was a concern a couple years back but not anymore. A move out of the polo fields would be a huge, huge, huge surprise since they’ve worked out a contract to hold Coachella there for like a decade onward or something ridiculous.

  • /users/?user=jchristian jchristian

    They are not moving the festival (they have a 10-year deal), they addressed the entry and crowding problems last year and made it a much better experience. This announcement will have something to do with the 2012 dates and / or ticketing for 2012.

  • /users/?user=handbanana HandBanana

    If they announce the dates or announce ticket options (which I don’t think they can do without announcing the dates), that would be a smart business move by them to build off the massive hype and success of this past year. It would also be a point of no return for them to announce these things 10 months well in advance.

    For what it’s worth, one of the Coachella board members who has always been in the know about these things answered a poll question on the site about the announcement NOT being about dates, tickets, a fourth day, a new location, the October festival or a confirmed act but did say it would still blow your mind.

  • /users/?user=fantasticman Fantasticman

    I guess that is good for those who complain about the layaway that starts in Dec, now its a lot earlier. This also seems to  kills the uniqueness of the weekend.  Instead of “what a weekend, see you next year,” It will be “see you next week”.  I hope this works for you GV. I will be there one weekend, unless its the fabled Radiohead/DaftPunk/David Bowie weekend, then i will be spending more than i should.

    This should be interesting. A lot of bands will have to reroute their tour – it would make the most economic sense to schedule all shows around the area to stick around (at least hit up Vegas, Phoenix, San Fran or so) instead of stopping out for one show…

    My main interest is that they must be planning something good if they’re willing to go two weekends. Yes, this year sold out, but they will have to have a GREAT lineup to sell 2x what they have in the past…

    Only 5 weeks to go and still no announcement for July 15th and 16th. I’m guessing Monahan is scrambling rather than holding a couple aces up his sleeve, otherwise I’m certain they would have been revealed by now, so as to help slow ticket sales. I have to finalize my travel plans by the end of the week. If nothing is announced, it looks like I’ll only do up to the 13th. I would like to do the whole deal but for me the last four days are really weak.

    Supposed full lineup.  I note a distinct lack of headliners here though…especially after last year was Weezer and Dylan, and past years have had Beck, STP and DCFC all for one festival.

  • /users/?user=clark clark

    This is seriously the shittiest thing that I could’ve imagined other than them cancelling it.  Last year was my first coachella after attending the roo and lolla plenty of times and it was probably the best experience I’ve had at a fest.  But now what?  The once in a lifetime Arcade Fire performance turns to twice in a week experience?  Does Kanye’s grand entrance mean a god damn thing if he does it two weekends in a row?  Also, I have to fly there from a far distance like I’m sure many other people do and I feel like it doesn’t mean shit to go to one of two weekends.  You’re either leaving the party early one weekend or getting sloppy seconds the next.  Complete and utter bullshit

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    Don’t really like this for a few of reasons.  First and foremost, this is a pure and simple money grab.  They know they can sell twice as many tickets but this messes with the uniqueness of the experience.  Half the fun of being a fan of this experience is getting the tickets and if you miss it this year, you try harder to get tickets the next year.  Now everyone gets to play.  This leads me to my next point, this concept may be successful for one, two or even three years but it’s going to burn out sooner than later which could put this festival at risk.   It would truly suck if Coachella had to shut down because of this decision.  Not likely but it is a risk.   I also can’t see artist especially headliners wanting to do this festival two weekends in a row.  Maybe in the beginning but once again can they sustain this?

    I hope this doesn’t start a trend with other festivals.  Many people, me being one of them, like the once a year festival concept… it keeps me wishing it was next summer for that ONE weekend of awesomeness.  Now if Coachella promotors make a shit ton of money with this, other will try to do the same which could ultimately lead to the demise of the festivals we love.

    I’ve never gone to Coachella but it is a festival I would love to experience.  That said, this announcement makes me think twice about spending my hard earned cash on this when I would rather make the trip out to Washington and experience the Gorge again or hit bonnaroo again, or….. 

    I could be totally wrong here and kind of hope I am.

    I spent the entire memorial weekend planning and preparing.  7 days until I make trek from Chi-town.  I hope to run into some of you guys there… not likely since there’s going to be 80,000 people but weirder shit has happened.  On friday, if you see a white oldish dude running around in a red t-shirt that say ‘bonito’ on the front… come say hi!

    I’ve been to Coachella 05 06 09 10 11, and this will stop me from going back.Why mess with a good thing? LAst year they took care of the problems they had the previous year with more space and the wrist bands, and now they want to kill the specialness of the event. No matter what your going to feel like you missed half of the event, if you can only go one weekend. This sucks. There is no way i will take the time, money, and travel from PA to go to HAlf a festival, and the B.S. about making identical festivals will never happen. Every performance is different. Part of what makes people travel is the uniqueness of Coachella. I am already planning to NOT go next year.

    You say the best bet is to book Radiohead/DP/Bowie, but they can’t do that every year. I think this is an awful idea. I have no problem with more people being able to experience the fest, but I agree with the comment below that now you will feel like you’re either leaving the party early, or getting sloppy seconds with no surprises.

    I think Bumbuershoot is failing with this new model of no headliners and 20 addotional no named and local acts. Ticket prices were always cheap the problem with declining ticket sales had more to do with the fact that fans were not always able to enjoy the shows they wanted to see, do to capacity related issues. Either venues would be full before you get there or you wait in a line for hours before the act you want to see, completely removed from any performances all together. This year they are finally moving the headliners back into Key Arena which probably doubles the viewing capacity from the Memorial stadium they have been using the last decade, now they don’t bring in any artist’s that can fill it up. This may increase the casual music fan attendance, but these are the jerks that don’t know festival etiquette and are more interested in the beer gardens than the shows themselves. I will probably only attend one day this year instead of all three, and thats only because it took the entire Fitz & The Tantrums set to get through the bag check line at Sasquatch!, the only day it took longer than 10 minutes.

    I just picked up on River City Extension … excited to see what they do live … love anything with a horn section. Aside from what’s been mentioned already, I am psyched for Band of Skulls and Sleigh Bells Thursday night, though they might already be out of the “lesser-known” category … Childish Gambino is the comedian Donald Glover’s rap-pseudonym, might check that out …

    I was disappointed to see that Bootsy Collins’ set was moved out of late night…

Tinie is just another rapper, he’s the next best thing. Everything he does just keeps getting bigger and better. Can’t wait to see how he follows up a sensational album like “Disc-Overy”! :)

But last year’s Banana Shack was a six man Coleman tent compared to the sprawling Banana Shack of 2011, with its endless runners of lights, multiple screens, and the Red Bull building for extra viewing. It was such an enormous change, we felt it was almost a completely new addition.

    Maybe I failed to read between the lines, but are you guys aware that The Flaming Lips didn’t even finish the Soft Bulletin? Or that we had to watch the stupid fucking sasquatch cake (ACE OF CAKES, GUYS!!!!! Shut up about the cake, again!) come out once more at the cost of the Soft Bulletin? Personally I liked the set, but also personally, if I was writing for the world on the internet I’d preface why I liked the set despite such glaring disruptances and failure to even deliver the whole album. It kinda reads like these are just normal things in a show (not worth mentioning for one. Of course.) that I typically see and put up with and accept. Now when I read between those lines I see, “I’ve never been to a show before and this is all awesome”. Keep sending the kids out there guys, they are so informative.

    As usual, 311 leads with a single that’s passable but somewhat forgettable. Lord knows it’ll grow on me, but here’s hoping the rest of the album sees them return to more rapping (one can dream). In the end tho, fuck it. They’re still an unbelievable live act…Pow Wow, bring it on.

  • /users/?user=adrian-garro Adrian Garro

    cheesy songs aside, referring to 311 as “stoners” and saying that you will appeal to it “based on your level of sobriety” is pretty silly. They’re all dads in their 40s now (except 1), so can we lose the “frat boy” party vibe drug joke references already? They’re not the same band they were in 1996

    Hate it……..I miss the old Coldplay. I know I’m looking like the cliche “misses a band’s old music” guy, but they showed some real potential on the first two albums. “Yellow” is STILL a great song to me, as well as “Clocks.” But this…….eesh.

    Don’t be a hater just because it’s nerd music. Nerdapalooza is a ton of fun, and a lot of the artists are quite talented. Even if it isn’t your thing, there’s no need to actively comment to show your distaste. Maybe you should branch out a little instead, or come to terms with the fact that maybe us nerds like to have fun at concerts as well.

    For a look on the more talented and diverse side of nerdcore, I’d suggest giving these artists a try:
    MC Frontalot
    Optimus Rhyme
    The Bossfights
    The Adventures of Duane & BrandO
    Dual Core
    Marc With A C
    Brentalfloss
    Schaffer The Darklord

    As well as a bunch of the artists from Scrub Club (They give away all of their music for free!). Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

    While Transistor is not my favorite 311 album, Use of Time may be my favorite 311 song! I have been lost in that so many times I lost count (and for many years after leaving the bud behind). I do agree that the album as a whole is great but other then a few songs, I must listen to it completely to get the entire effect. Most songs roll so perfectly into the next that listening to them out of order hurts the overall experience. Anyway, thats just my humble opinion.

    Coldplay does seem to inspire conflicting emotions in people! Personally I am a real fan but that doesn’t mean I have to adore every single thing they put out. On a couple of listens, this song is OK and would probably go down great live. But I’ll wait for the album before making proper judgements. “I Go To Rio” is credited on the Coldplay site so let’s not have any more of that Satriani shit, please. Read some of the comments here and you’d think Chris Martin has hardly had an original idea of his own. Seriously wide of the mark, gentlemen.

And thanks, FLOW, edonaldson, and Wictorwictor, those were all very important asshole comments. Glad I took the time out of my day to read that shit.. Worthless ass clown commenting trolls. 
    Great coverage, CoS. That was the best weekend of the year, and it probably won’t be topped. Loved Bright Eyes and his Eminem style mannerisms. Loved Deerhunter and Wilco in a rad thunderstorm. Best festival of 2011 thus far.

    Saw the Cars in Philly, too, and I LOVED it!!!  Sound was great, band was VERY tight, and the crowd had a blast.  I was up front with my girls, and we really enjoyed seeing the band up close and personal.  Sure, they’re not chit chat freaks obsessed with audience participation, and it wasn’t the longest show ever.  But, the set list included 5 songs from the new album, an incredibly creative selection from their 70′s and 80′s catalog.  Having been a Ric Ocasek fangirl for EVER, it was awesome to see him smile on stage and actually ENJOY himself.  Even the stoic leader of this band couldn’t deny the contagious joy the audience shared.

    Hi Peter you could be right. I do believe that WOR FM tried Freeform when there was a strike at the station. It is a shame that WNEW FM is now WNEW (106.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an Urban Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Jupiter, Florida, USA, the station is currently owned by CBS Radio.Prior to January 2007 it was known as WJBW. Despite the call letter change, the station’s branding remains “B106.3″. CBS Radio, who also owns WWFS, “warehoused” the WNEW calls to WJBW in January 2007.
    We need better radio in the US. By the way are you somehow related to Robert Altschuler who used to be with Columbia records back in the 70′s

    Book the same Headliners and a few key undercard bands and the rest be completely different, this would incourage two weekend attendees and help create a more special moment for those who only go on one weekend. I think that this will be a one time thing just to handle whatever they have planned (Bowie or what not). Remember 11 or so years ago Lollapalooza tried to travel a two day event and that failed, I think this too closely resembles that model and will not be able to sustain year after year.

    Moby has a tattoo on his neck of the Holy cross. He preaches free speach,. He is liberal. He supports moveon.com. He often talks about America as being a dangerous right-wing country. I was surfing last week and found a Moby video with him and Laura and Doran and several very young ladies. It had simulated or real sex acts. They talked about writing a book about anal sex. The video ended when Moby ran his hand up a young lady’s leg under her dress. The video had less than 2000 hits and it was then taken down. My post on Moby.com was flagged for removal. I know what I saw. If Moby wishes tto dispute this, he can sue me. I am easy to find in Reno NV.

    Are you kidding! This event is for the really old, if you are in your 40s and never had a child, then this is your place.  A festival for the Peter Pan syndrome. I’m still  in my 20′s and had a hard time trying to identifiy with the hipp-i-esc group.  I looked at the scene and kept thinking that it was time for them to cut their hair, shave their beards and be more into the world than the bunch of social outcast looking group that I saw.

    The music was kind of the weird dub step junk that seems to have sucked the souls from the electromusic world in LA over the last few years. Yay, smoke a blunt and listen to this and pop crazily, noooo.

    A couple of positives.  At least you can tell in their drug/ alcohol induced state/ enviroment their hearts we’re in the right place.  It was a beautiful location and the event was organized well.

    So, if you want to pretend you are a rock star and never grow up, this is your place.  If you are just entering the scene, take a look around and bring this concept with a youthful expression to the nintendo youth.

    Has anyone seen the map of bluesfest, it has changed drastically, now the CLARIDGE & MBNA stages have their backs to the parkway facing towards the war museum. No more free views for bystanders on the parkway, can only listen. Figure they will have the war museum entrance blocked off too, non-paying customers will have to fork over the dough to see the groups.

    Expect to see this band for some time to come. They are in it for the long haul, and as long as they don’t get mad at Turner taking his solo stuff on the road and playing with others, we can expect a new album on a regular basis. A serious band that has made all the right moves along the way. Great on disc, great live, and great in the press. A band that sticks around, matures, deviates, and delivers imagine that!

    YOUR EXPERIENCE @ STARSCAPE 2011 WAS WHAT YOU MADE OF IT YA’LL.  It’s always been that way – always will be.  That goes for any event for that matter.  At some point you just HAVE to stop bitching and roll with it…no matter what happens.  Even if your pockets ARE searched – you move PAST it yo.  A general rule of thumb in everyday life.  Roll with the punches and enjoy the positive in any and all situations.
    Musical genius was abound this year and it’s such a shame to piss in your own corn flakes and miss all those new tracks…The music from the tents only splice together if yer in the middle walkway…keep it moving if you don’t like that.  There are MANY different areas of musical experience, the soundsystems are off the chain, there’s lots of people to meet, artwork to view – A varitable cornicopia of electronic stimulation.  LOVED it.

    I feel like everyone is hating on Lolla just to hate on it.  Yeah, it’s a little underwhelming considering we thought Perry would go all out for the 20th Anniversary, but the lineup is so similar to the other big fests, how can it be hated on so much more?  Ofcourse, if you went to Coachella and Sasquatch, Lollapalooza would be pointless since so many bands are recycled.  Lollapalooza gets a bad rap because its toward the end of the summer.  If Lolla was in April and Cocachella in August, everyone would say the same thing about Coachella.  They don’t plan fests for everyone around the country to attend every single one.  Obviously there are alot of the same bands.  Get over it.  We had the Strokes and Arcade Fire last year.  Everyone (Coachella, Roo, Sasquatch) have bands that have played Lolla the past couple years (i.e. Arcade Fire).  Suddenly though, Lolla is “generic”

    This is great stuff. Seen U2 8 times and will see them again next month. As awesome as they are, they could really use some set-list changes. Please drop “One” and “Walk On”. I dream of a tour where they exclude all the hits with maybe the expection of “Streets” and throw in the stuff they never play. Wire, A Sort of Homecoming, Dirty Day and Mofo are excellent examples. I’d also love to hear One Tree Hill, Crumbs from Your Table and Hawkmoon.

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    I read where he’s just closing a stage to avoid all the traffic they had in that area last year. Pretty sure they figure he’s not going to be drawing all that big of a crowd. Forget a surprise Jane’s set, Lolla isn’t too good with surprises, everything is scheduled to the second and they stick to hit pretty hard, unfortunately.

    Dominic is right. And for The Vines, they would have saved rock music if the press didn’t push them too far on a generation speaker/banner without even thinking on consequences. Too bad the band has spinned out, and the illness of Nicholls gone stronger. Still good garage rock, but last albums are faraway from the intense 2 first LP.

    I love the new album. I disagree with your thoughts on the depth. There is still depth it’s just a new kind. Gibbard has an incredible future in store, he has reached a new point in life so it’s expected for his music to mature and change with him. The lyrics are a bit more simpler in someways i agree, but i think sometimes the simple way is the most powerful. And a simple life can also be the most desirable. The optimism in this album has made me fall in love with DCFC again. I was over the depressing stuff. I love this. I don’t know why but the sound to this album kinda of makes me think of a mix of Transatlanticism and Narrow Stairs, it’s like they had a baby. Not with the lyrics though, just the sound. And I love how distinct each of DCFC’s album is. You wouldn’t expect an artist to paint the same picture over, and over again. And you can’t expect that out of musicians. If its been done, leave it and move on, that’s what they’re doing.

    LessTech,

    So thats the only choice now, between plastic corporate pop and rock dinosaurs?  What a terrible musical world we’d be living in if that awful dichotomy were actually the case.  

    Chili Peppers WERE a great band, but they should’ve hung it up after By The Way.  Its unrealistic for people to think bands will rock forever.  Most don’t even make two good albums, let alone 5, as the Chili Peppers did imo.

    sounds like it’s you that needs the hooks. there are other people in the world that need the hooks as well but there are plenty of people like myself who don’t need them at all. after reading your review i listened to the avalanches & found their music to be uninventive & unstimulating. you may as well pose the boredoms with haircut 100 because they both use drums. vicki bennet never follows lines previously mapped by others. she has created new situations, absurdity & humor like nothing else. i would recommend changing your limitations as a listener before dismissing a record on this level as an almost complete waste. your review says alot about where your head is at & almost nothing about where this record’s head is at. it shows that you’re not ready for it yet & until you are, you certainly have no weight behind your words towards it. the only real review you could write about this album at this point would be something like: “i don’t understand this music”. i would have great respect for that review.

    I think this album is great! What’s wrong with a bit of randomness? I’m tired of all these perfectly structured albums which start sounding like a single song and get boring by track 5… at least cage the elephant keep you entertained by going from one extreme and just knowing when to pull it back and make it a bit more subtle. I agree with Alecsye in that people just don’t realise how good of an album this is right now but give them time, they will realise that a brilliant album has passed them by.

    LIB is such a amazing experience! When you are there, you almost forget that you are a human on planet Earth. It ignites your soul, charges your chakras, opens your eyes (all 3).. it’s like you are in a completely different realm, surrounded by beauty, love and unity. It is unlike any other festival I have ever been to. 

    The eco-conscious aspect about it is so beautiful. So many other festivals do not partake in that- theres no recycling bins, theres hardly any regular trash cans so you see so much trash everywhere, theres more garbage than ground! How can anyone dance in that?! Let alone even walk. It was so refreshing to be able to lay down on clean grass and look around you and not see one spec of trash anywhere! Clean fests definitely have a better vibe. 

    The art projected through amazing artists at LIB is astounding! Such beautiful creations. I truly love the concept of live art throughout the weekend- its amazing to see what comes out of someone being influenced by the magic happening around them at this wonderful festival. And then to have them all posted up on the last day for viewing- it was almost overwhelming to walk around and look at all of them! SO AMAZING! 

    The musicians/bands that play at LIB are all outstanding. There’s different genres for everyone’s taste. I love how they have big names and more unknown names. I have learned so much amazing music from the past 2 years of LIB from seeing sets of musicians I had never heard of live at the festival. It’s incredible. The energy put into each set – the djs, the dancers, the lights, the whole experience – is amazing. I was almost never not dancing throughout the whole weekend!

    The venue is breathtaking! You are surrounded by gorgeous mountains, theres a beautiful lake right near where people camp, where the stages are is grassy and clean, easy to walk/dance on… It’s cool how they have upper and lower camping. There’s places for people who want more quieter areas, like families, and then theres places for people who hardly sleep the whole weekend and party nonstop. There’s even car camping too. So many options to choose from- it’s great. The weather is perfect too! It can be a bit hot during the day under the california sun, but it’s totally bearable. It gets pretty cold at night, which is a nice change from the day time. It cools your body down from being in the sun all day and it makes perfect opportunities for people to get closer to one another. Cuddling is amazing! The transformation from day to night is quite surreal. It’s like a whole other world when night falls. Everything’s lit up, glowing, shining – it’s amazing. Very alluring. The set up of the festival is super cool. The stages are spaced apart just right so that you can’t hear the other stages when you are at one of them. There’s several routes you can take to get from one stage to another. The choices are almost limitless. 

    The food is SO GOOD!! It is almost all health-conscious, the majority of it being vegan and vegetarian. The prices are very reasonable too, for the quality of what you get. There wasn’t one thing I didn’t like that I tried there throughout the weekend. Super good stuff!

    I absolutely love the family aspect of Lightning in a Bottle. It was so great to look around and see little girls dancing and playing with hula hoops, kids running around smiling and laughing with their parents and parents’ friends. It’s amazing how everyone is so respectful of this too. You don’t see kids getting trampled by other people or anything. Everyone looks at it as beautiful. I think giving young children experiences like this is wonderful! It’s bringing so much love and the understanding of love, bliss and joy into the child’s life. And doing that at young ages is important because that’s the time when they learn and absorb information most. I look forward to the time I have a little one that I can take with me to LIB. It will be such an enchanting experience.

    2010 was my first LIB experience. I heard about through the Do Lab at Coachella. I was telling all my friends about it, trying to get them to go with me, but none could due to work or lack or funds, etc. Even though no one could go, I was determined to go. So I decided to go solo. Now, I live in Florida, so it was definitely going to be quite a journey going alone. But I was all about it. I am that dedicated to good music, good vibrations, good people, etc. So I flew across the country alone, found a ride to the venue, met some amazing people to camp with and had the time of my life for 5 days!!! It was seriously the best experience I have ever had! EVER! So many doors were unlocked and opened, my soul was literally vibrating inside my body. I felt so energized and recharged after the weekend was over. It was incredible. Words can hardly describe the bliss and ecstasy I experienced. 

    This year, in 2011, I went with a group of good friends- all from different parts of the states. Some knew each other, some didn’t. But within minutes of all meeting each other, it was like instant brother and sister-hood! We all became family! It was beautiful! It was the majority of the groups’ first LIB experience so it was awesome for myself and the other few who had gone in 2010 to watch the eyes and minds of the newbies be opened. It was remarkable. Our whole lil camping family got along amazingly all weekend and had such a great time. It was funny, if we ever separated to go to different stages/sets or if someone just happened to wander away for some time, we would always find each other.. without even looking- it was like magnetism or something. In my mind I visioned a beautiful, energetic nebula hovering above the festival venue with thin, iridescent electricity lines- like lightning bolts- projecting from it, each one connecting to each individual person, and when people were brought together, they would all connect, going from small individual bolts into a bigger, brighter bolt. Like souls merging into a universal union of love and light. When I was thinking about this, I was smiling so big, people would ask why and I would say to them, “I love you,” and smile even bigger. Tears were definitely in my eyes, but tears of joy, happiness and bliss! It was such an amazing feeling- no synthesized drug could ever produce it. So the whole weekend I kept imagining myself and others as little electric vibrations merging together to form one big lightning bolt of love. Found it ironic, hence the name of the fest “Lightning in a Bottle.” It’s like the energy of the festival- the music, the art, the knowledge, the festival goers- was leading to a trasformation of the name of the festival itself. I am getting teary-eyed just thinking about.. it’s such a beautiful thing. It is UNION!

    For anyone that has not yet been to Lightning in a Bottle, I highly encourage you to go at some point in your life. It is a cleansing, soul-evolving experience and I think each and every soul out there should have the chance to experience something as amazing as this festival. Like I said, I have yet to have been to any other festival that is anything like LIB. So many festivals out there seem to have a focus of drugs. Not this one. I am no longer going to be putting my money towards other festivals that do not have the same- or at least similar- feel as LIB does. It’s crazy- I went to Starscape Music Festival in Baltimore the weekend after LIB and I was literally disgusted the whole time! It was nothing like LIB. There was trash everywhere, you could hardly walk. The energy from the festival-goers was really dark and unwelcoming. You could tell the majority of the people there were there just to do drugs. They weren’t there for the music, or for love and unity. It was very uncomfortable. I was extremely closed off the whole night. There are so many other festivals that are like that out there were there is so much lack of respect from the people – Ultra, EDC, Electric Zoo, Beyond Wonderland to name a few. It’s sad. Music festivals are supposed to be about love, light, unity, peace, freedom… but some people seem so oblivious to that. They go for the wrong reasons. It’s up to us as fellow humans to try to change that. We all need to play our part and spread positivity through our thoughts and actions. All people learn by observing others. It’s a domino effect. The more good we put out into the world, the more good will come out of it. Let’s all be a part of this beautiful circle of recycling knowledge and pass it on to others. Actions speak louder than words. Let’s let the love keep flowing to light up this beautiful world we call home! 

    Lightning in a Bottle will definitely be an annual thing for myself. My friends who all went this year agree too. I foresee our camping family getting bigger each year that passes, ready to exchange smiles and laughter and share magnificent experiences. I know I will learn new things each year through workshops, through meeting new people, through so many different sources… it’s an infinite process. We ARE infinity. We are all a part of the fire of life and the more love we put into life, the brighter the fire will burn – or in this case, the brighter the lightning bolt will get. We are producing a storm… a storm of LOVE. The storm will continue getting bigger and bigger until it covers the whole planet and then, just maybe, we will have some sort of world peace. We are mending the broken chain of universal bond and union of the infinite souls out there. Everyone has to put their light into it, though- whatever it may be. If the ingredients are love, harmony, joy and the like, the outcome will be magical! So lets make some magic! See you next year. :)

    Who Reviews the Reviewers?

    It is unfortunate when individuals publish their opinions as facts, especially when they don’t even get all of the actual facts correct. Their glib, off-the-cuff comments often do more harm then good, even when they are trying to be positive. But, alas, such is the all-too-frequent case with what is called a music review these days – and it is certainly the case with Mr. Cohen’s “piece” above.

    His enthusiasm for the Ensemble ACJW program presented yesterday is admirable. I would have admired him more if he had bothered to check who was playing on which pieces and given credit where credit was due. Given his claim to be a musicologist, one wonders about his scholarship if his reviews can be this haphazard. Additionally, he veered off-course, in my opinion, about the evening and the venue.

    The great success of the concert last night was its wonderful innovative spirit with regard to programming and performance. LPR’s ethos is specifically NOT one of the refined concert hall and its social mores and constrictions. ACJW’s artists took risks, and the large, largely youthful, audience showed raucous appreciation many times throughout the evening. While Mr. Cohen acknowledges their success, his carping reveals a certain lack of sophistication for what the evening presented. In one sense, he was bringing concert-hall criticism (if one can call it that) to a club atmosphere.

    I think most people were impressed when a member of the group stepped-up, and stepped out of the box, to sing in the Teng. It was a risk worth taking and had a cool edge to it. The juxtaposition of traditionally acoustic and electronically enhanced works was brilliant, and risky, on the part of ACJW – they largely succeeded. I would have preferred a more subtle sound reinforcement for the Bartok and Britten. If there was a lack of rehearsal, it was, perhaps, between the musicians and LPR’s sound engineers. In the case of these two works, reinforcement did not always result in enhancement. Sound design is my one concern about LPR’s approach – but perhaps they are still fine tuning this. Keep going LPR, you’re on the right track.

    Mr. Cohen’s assessment of the Britten, and its performance, was a bit naive in my opinion. I am sure Mr. Britten would have appreciated his compositional critique. The audience, however, did not seem to share his difficulties with British culture in the context of the evening. Comments I heard afterward ranged from impressive to gorgeous. There is, after all, a beauty to the night. Right? Mr. Dracula, please chime in here. Also, I found the announcement at the beginning of the evening humorous and helpful in setting the context. I do not share Mr. Cohen’s opinion, or his recommendation on this matter.

    ACJW took big risks last night and got a big, BIG payoff. The grumblings of a would-be musicologist-come-critic not withstanding, I think the general audience’s enthusiasm is probably a more accurate assessment of the evening. I support honest critique in context, but critique that smacks of self-justification should not be indulged. I am glad Mr. Cohen is so enthusiastic about ACJW’s performance and LPR. I am too. Mr. Cohen, please review Carnegie like Carnegie and venues like LPR like, well, LPR. And, please get your facts straight.

    Bravo to Ensemble ACJW for a performance that crossed the boundaries of culture, generation, and tradition.

    “Bobby” is a mood-rich atmospheric blend of delights. After listening to it the first time you’ll already know that it won’t be the last.

    That was Ludacris and Live.
    But that was because ludacris was on the main stage and Live was on the second stage (ie both stages in the main area and they were set on 90 degree angles to each other so if you were watching live, you were in direct line with the main stage speakers).
    It also happened because ludacris was 30 minutes late for his 45 minutes set and played overtime.
    The MBNA stage is more or less where the second stage was last year (though facing the other side of the grounds) and I never had problems with sound between it and Subway.

    So instead of having the balls to type nigger, or nigga, yourself, you’re going to hide behind “the ‘N’ word’ and make us say nigga in our heads.  Enuff already with “the ‘N’ word.’  How is he ignorant – because you didn’t like the song.  It was about his relationship with the man who was dating his mother.  I suppose you have greater insight into that, than Kanye does himself.

    Been reading this site for three years – I don’t think I’ve ever been as embarrassed and disappointed by a review from a site I recommend. I’ll try to avoid bashing the reviewer and their obsession with the album title, and just point out the one thing that is definitive inaccurate – JEFF the Brotherhood have a TON of people convinced they are the real deal. Flew to Bonnaroo from San Diego, and heard so much about these guys from festival-goers that I skipped Arcade Fire to see them DESTROY some rinky-dink stage in the middle of Centaroo. Nearly a riot. Best show I saw all weekend, and I’ve been spinning this record ever since. Can’t urge people enough to hit up Google for a second opinion on this record – hate to see a small band struggling to break it get trashed on a reputable site for a record receiving consistently high marks elsewhere.

    Moocow why are you so passionate about congratulating bad reporting? I mean, it’s great to see a person and their passion, but weird passion all the same. I’m not criticizing any subjective points of view, just the blatant missed facts that overall gave me the impression that 1) they didn’t actually go see the show, but wrote about it anyway (weird choice CoS) or 2) their reporters aren’t too music and concert savvy enough to rely the events inn their proper happenings (probably get new reporters). Sasquatch ’11 was amazing! This reporting of it is almost a joke and completely lazy.  

  • /users/?user=cameron-weaver Cameron Weaver

    Eminem lip synced, staged trickery. Your article about the set is a failure. Your reporter must have been on some serious drugs if he couldn’t tell that Eminem was lip syncing.When a MC pulls the mic from his mouth, the vocal is supposed to stop, not finish the verse with out the MC. The only thing Eminem said that wasn’t pre recorded was “Whats up Bonnaroo”

    You talk a lot of shit. The first four paragraphs are a waste of time. You telling stuff that People might know, and if they don’t there is a magical informative Website called Wikipedia. “Weak minded Production”? Are you insane. Ha it’s funny when you say ”Royce da 5’ 9” suffers”, how the hell does he suffer and how he make mistakes? Royce’s underground stuff is great about you can’t afford to make mistakes. For a Major Label Album Royce has done brillantly. Don’t talk about Artists can’t afford to make mistakes when Lil Wayne and Drake are on Major Labels in the first place.

    What really annoys is when you say it’s “not a lot of effort”. You are telling that through the whole Album, the lyricism wasn’t great. They are the perfect collabaration able to work in the Studio fine. They matched the Hardcore/ Horrorcore Album perfectly.

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    Eminem hasn’t put out a decent album since the Eminem Show.  Yes, his lyrics are always top notch as far as rhymes go, but his hooks are old.  His “angry” attitude is old.  It was good when I was in high school, cruising around with friends, but now that I’m 26 and have broadened my musical knowledge, I’ve realized he is simple and immature.  Yeah, tracks like ”Kill You” were unique back in the day, but come on, you’re getting close to 40.  Grow up.  He just sounds like a whiny bitch on every track.  Anyone who thinks Relapse and Recovery were good albums is the moron, not this reviewer

  • /users/?user=cyn Cyn

    i’m with you, i tend to disagree with or be confused by a lot of COS reviews.  two stars for JEFF The Brotherhood?  GTFO. 

  • /users/?user=bunit Bunit

    Pretty awful article to be honest. The album certainly lacked a certain amount of focus and continuity, but it has far more than the dross I’ve just read. By the way, the Mike Epps sampled track is in no way a ‘direct re-visitation of Relapse’; if it can be related to any of Eminem’s previous work its fairly obviously the Slim Shady LP or the Marshall Mathers LP.

    Also, Royce and Eminem have not ‘maintained a personal and professional relationship’ since the 90s – they quite publicly fell out over a perceived Royce diss directed towards D12 in ’02-’03.

    As far as the review of the album as a whole is concerned you seem to have completely ignored looking at most of the tracks, you could quite easily have made most of your observations when the first few tracks leaked a couple of weeks ago. I would say its pretty harsh to say that the hooks are ‘absurd and silly’, aside from the quite grating ‘I’m On Everything’, there are excellent ones for ‘Above the Law’ and ‘Take from Me’ that in no way fit your description.

    Finally, it is pretty insulting to Royce for you to say that he is ‘not bringing everything he’s got’ and saying that he messed around. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that he has and to keep up with Eminem is no mean feat, which he has done and even on occasion surpassed Mathers’ efforts.

    It would be nice if you did a bit of research and put more than minimal effort into what you write next time. Hopefully you’ll not come out with something that any mug could have written.  

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    Haha, you guys crack me up…Gaga all the way baby!  Fuck no, I don’t listen to that dribble. I’m not a fan of one genre of music.  I listen to everything (besides country) as long as I respect what the artist is trying to do or say. People like Lady Gaga just decide to be a “freak” to gain attention b/c their music and personality wasn’t good enough. That, I don’t respect.  I would rather play coffee houses the rest of my life than write music lyrics that I don’t care about. Anyways, I guarantee all these people commenting are only fans of hip-hop and not music, or art itself. If all you want to hear are critics praising Eminem, then what is the point of a review. As soon as you heard one negative thing, you’re all like “How absurd? How dare this guys write a negative review of such a good lyricist?”  Artists need negative criticism to better themselves.  If every review is positive, that would mean that the album is perfect, and then where’s the room for growth.  Just cause you write an album called recovery and talk about getting past your problems doesn’t make you mature.  He has been putting out the same songs for 15 years now, only he used to have a bigger influence from Dre, and thus, better beats.  Most artists reinvent themselves, he’s hasn’t.  He’s a one trick pony.

    I’ve been behind em since my name is debut in fact since I just don’t give a F**k was released. I grew up with his songs.
    its hard because em was amazin oh his debut, heard nothin like it. got better on MMLP and excelled on Eminem Show, 
    slid downhill on encore, bounced back on relapse and did a 180 on recovery the man had to change his style otherwise he would of just got plain borin if eminem show wasnt the way it was with its serious tone. and another crazy album like SSLP over and over again, he wouldn’t be here now.
    so I applaude his new tone and material

    Better than the Sasquatch review, but I’m still a little perplexed why there wasn’t any coverage on Dr. John and the Meters set (with Alain Toussaint) doing “Destitively Bonnaroo” in it’s entirety. I mean the festival was named after this album! The hat that the Night Tripper wears on the record cover was the same giant hat above the main gate. I figure as music lovers this would be a no brainer to include. 

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    “The watchtower received a makeover – we now had our own bizarro cuckoo clock that played Dr. John’s “Desitively Bonnaroo” whenever it rang. And speaking of Desitively Bonnaroo -  the album where the festival got its name finally made its way to the farm in the form of Dr. John and the original Meters performing it on Saturday night. It was a pitch-perfect way to celebrate the festival’s past and look forward to the future.”………I just copied this directly from the first page.

Yes, I have my own personal blog, and it’s different than this, it’s meant to be a place where I can dash off thoughts, and yeah, there’s no gatekeeper there. I hope you also realize that my “finally feel like a real critic” comment was meant to be lighthearted and tongue-in-cheek. As always, there is no such thing as tone on the internet.

    I got one fact wrong. I mixed up the name of the drummer. Short of asking the drummer what his name was at the concert, there was no way for me to research this. I apologized, and we fixed the name attribution. Again, I apologize for the inaccuracy.

    I believe that CoS readers deserve the highest standard. My comment on my blog had to do with your charge of a lack of sophistication. I didn’t quite understand what you meant by that, and my comment was meant to reflect that. 

    If you would like to continue a back and forth with me, I suggest we do so on my personal blog. I would be happy to discuss any of your criticisms of me at length over there.

  • /users/?user=zatzbatz zatzbatz

    First of all, comments are so angry! damn. I thought Eminem killed it. His music is very produced, and so was his show. Which was great. You can not get more mainstream than Eminem, I don’t know what people expected. Lil Wayne is clearly one of the greatest MC’s of all time, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron who should just ignore him and not get their blood pressure all worked up. I didn’t expect much from him live, but he did alright. If you don’t like him, then why go see him? I’m not sure why there is no review of Wiz Khalifa, because he has stepped up his game considerably and completely murdered his set, I thought. Most rappers are horrible live, and he was great. I am somewhat disappointed that you guys didn’t review String Cheese or Girl Talk, String Cheese had one of the craziest stage shows I have ever seen, pure madness, and Girl Talk had what was best described as “the dance party of my dreams”. He had an even bigger crowd than Sleigh Bells. Also, Pretty Lights might have come on a half hour late, but he went until the sun came up. It was pure magic. I think that deserves some mention.

    i was not the biggest fan of relapse or recovery, i mean recovery’s production was weak and lyrics were good, and it was just an ok album, but i cannot believe this review…im a fan of hiphop, have lived thru the 90′s listening to big pun, big L, canibus, biggie, pac, nas, rakim, nwa, wutang, and so on…and to say this EP is subpar, is ridiculous…ive never heard this kind of rap before, its different, but the lyrics are nasty, and the flow is unreal…the opening welcome to hell is sheer genius, fast lane is a great single, the reunion brings back a little bit of old shady, he has a decent radio hit song in lighters which is as lyrical of a mainstream hit song that you can find on radio, and everything else seems to be on point…its almost as if royce and em were battling each other in a way in each song here, and it brings so much energy into each song…and enough with this “pissed off” eminem old shit, mmlp was one of the best rap albums ever, and he showed his “pissed off” side in that album as well…he has substance to his albums and even the mainstream recovery had good substance to it and a message…this will be the best thing for rap this year, and all i can say is, watch out becuz em is going at it and slaughterhouse is comin up…otherwise, u may wanna reconsider listening to the EP again and do another review after listening to the geniuses eminem and royce da 5’9!

    “Eminem suffers because this marks a very obvious deviation from his
    course to “recovery”, and shows a big return to the legend’s goofy side,
    one that’s been immensely criticized in years past”

    What the fuck do you mean? how can you measure someone’s recovery from drugs by their lyrics in rap songs. This isn’t an essay on how they live their life, it’s rap. Entertainment, amusement.

    what made eminem so great was that he went against the grain and didn’t give a fuck what people thought. Now you want him to rap about church and mowing the lawn? get outta here man

    I personally think this album is probs 3 1/2 stars, eminems voice gets really annoying (his voice wasn’t annoying until recovery) but royce fucking kills it. Beats are ok, tend to agree with some of the hooks being average.

Amplify that with a huge scattering system, and all video footage is uselessly annoying and ruined by the infrared light.

    There are a million other bands that deserve their own station more than Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam is probably one of the shittiest, most overrated bands of all time. Fuck the arguements about selling out, etc… they are a God awful band. That is why they don’t deserve the station. They do not a have a single good song. Every song sounds the fucking same. Ridiculous.

    The great thing about bonnaroo is there is too many shows to see, and this review covered it brilliantly. No matter what show you see, Bonnaroo is the best place on the planet to catch a live show.
    Sleigh Bells, Gogol Bordello, Pretty Lights, Arcade Fire, MMJ, Beats Antique, and The Strokes were my favorite. During these sets I had the best time of my life. Bonnaroo is not for everybody, but for music lovers its heaven on earth.

    ^^ EXACTLY! Everyone always trys to compare it to Coachella or Lolla and there really is no comparison.  Roo is NOT for everybody its the best and worst weekend of your life…its a weekend of survival (mentally and physically). Roo is truly a music lovers dream, Coachella has great music but there are way to many people there that dont care about music and just care about the scene, Lolla also has great music but without the community vibe that comes with camp out festivals so its not even in the same league as Roo or Coachella.

    Once again, another clueless CoS writer.  Like Dgoldin2012 said, to call them “nu-metal” is pretty ignorant.  Just because they came up the same time shit like Limp Bizkit and Korn were popular, doesn’t make them ”nu-metal” as LB and Korn are considered.  Much the same way Staind, Cold, and Nonpoint are considered nu-metal is completely erroneous.  These bands actually sing their lyrics and aren’t writing lyrics just to appeal to some whiny teenagers or meatheads.  Another less than stellar article from CoS and Coplan.

    “This is the Discovery, Tinie is the name, Disturbing London is the

    lyrical genius. just when you think you might only find a couple of hits
    on the album, you go to the next and find out its also a banger! His
    music is very diverse. His music is appropriate when in need of
    inspiration with “written in the stars”, party jams with likes of “miami
    to ibiza” and “pass out” and much much more. GO GET IT AND HEAR FOR

There was so much hand-wringing over the length of King of Limbs, but since we’ve gotten at least 15 minutes more of great material that fits cleanly into the sound of that album. You may miss the guitars, but you can’t say you were cheated.

    This is the purest example of the “cut and paste” article. What facts it has are dependent on its sources (current and featuring actual journalists with actual tendencies to research what they state as fact). But I’m being ‘unfair’ as I didn’t read beyond the line ‘…features many chart-topping hits’ (there were NO singles from this album).

    I was really hoping for a Cudi aftershow, maybe the Metro.  Kinda bummed about that.  I think Two Door Cinema @ LH is a must-see too.  Anyone who’s been to that venue knows it doesnt get much more intimate.  Also, since it was built in 09′, like the HOB, the acoustics are amazing since its built for sound, rather than theatre. I was suggest any aftershow there.  I personally like Empty Bottle too.  Metro and Double Door are great sometimes, but there’s always the chance you get stuck on ths sides or under the balcony where the sound diminishes or there’s exit signs right about your head if you dont get there early enough and don’t want to be a dick and push people out of the way. Obviously that wouldnt be a problem at DFA 1979  Just some thoughts…..Also, there’s no Sunday aftershows? Makes me think something is still in the works.  Saw Phoenix at the HOB Sunday night last year, and I couldn’t have imagined a better end to the weekend.

    Dwerb here. McCartney itself reached #2 on the Billboard, which makes the whole album chart-topping, in this writer’s opinion, despite the fact that, yes, no singles were officially released. ”Maybe I’m Amazed” later reached #10 when it was released on a Wings Above America album. Since I cut and pasted this article, I guess I should have included that.

    i’m sure your a nice guy Philip and you work hard to write, but I don’t understand how CoS could hire someone who doesn’t really understand music from an objective standpoint.  When you admitted your personal taste is flawed and that you don’t understand soul, you pretty much discredited yourself as a music journalist for CoS.  Why would i want to read your reviews for music, if you don’t know what the hell your talking about.  It’s like if I was a food journalist and reviewed a mexican restaurant but never had really ate mexican mood. . . i would be bias. and I appreciate how you explain that your not saying its a bad album but your lack of appreciation for soul somewhat impairs you from making a good judgement about this album. But SERIOUSLY, if CoS wants to legitimize itself more as on online music web-site, PLEASE get REAL music journalists.

    like i said i’m sure your a good journalist Phil, but pls review what you know and if not pls verse and educate yourself better about the subject first. you copped out on this review, its clear you took the easy way out.

    Agreed. Emotional freshman albums are rarely followed by emotional sophomore albums, but rather a more polished feel that smooths out the rough edges of the first album.  That’s what we’ve received with Bon Iver, a beautifully seasoned work.

    Are you serious? This is the worst album review I have ever seen. You have a terrible perspective of the band. All Time Low NEVER set out to make a difference and never set out to TRY to be a good band and impress anyone. They are just some guys who want to make music and have fun doing it. Why do you think that all music should have complex guitar parts and lyrics that contain meaning? That doesn’t make a good album that makes something that YOU yourself would enjoy which obviously you don’t understand what music is good. More than half the kids who listen to All Time Low are pro musicians so they could be playing a child’s xylophone and their audience wouldn’t care if they were pro’s at it or not as long as it sounded appealing. Oh and just a little fact, the band as a whole practice three hours EVERY day to get where they are today. So while you sit here making shitty reviews they are sipping on some nice champagne getting bras thrown on stage by thousands of fans all while playing those power chords. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it sucks. I’d like to know what music you listen to and i’ll give you my own personal review. I’ll stick “Nothing Personal” at the end and call you a jackass.

    Listening to this now and have to say it’s now an excellent album in its expanded form with the additional tracks, particularly the full length versions on CD3 of ‘Check My Machine’. ‘I’ll Get You Baby’ and especially ‘Secret Friend’ showing that McCartney wasn’t just seeing what synthesiser troupes like Human League were up to at the time (He’d anyway already had quite a lot of synthing happening on 1978′s ‘London Town’ album from Wings) but was prototyping much more recent electronic territory. I had a tape of the original album sometime around its release but really didnt think it much more than a curiousity at the time. But in this form, well I can only say ‘curiouser and curiouser’. A great set!

    Agree. Review was definitely on point. I’m sitting celebrating their entire catalog at 2:30 am and I’m stewing over my good friend’s immediate response to the album, which was less than flattering (he’s a big fan by the way) and I can’t think to myself, this album is extremely solid. Yes, its not the epic banger that some folks were expecting, unrealistically i might add, but however after a few listens there are some spectacular songs on this album…. to name a few: victory, outta my system, day is coming, freak out, just to name a few other than the obvious two major hits… anyway i’m rambling now and my main point is well done Jim and Co. another classic that I look forward to throwing into the rotation!

    Might I also suggest Queens of the Stone Age. Each member has their own side projects such as Homme’s Eagles of Death Metal, Fertita’s Hello=Fire, Shuman’s Mini Mansions, and so forth. Plus there are the common collaborators such as Alain Johannes, Dave Cushing, etc. Plus the bands on Homme’s Rekords Rekords label. Then there are all of the artists that Homme has befriended that could show up like Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, Mastodon, Jesse F. Keeler (Death From Above 1979, anyone?), and mayhaps even Trent Reznor or Maynard James Keenan in some form or another. Then there’s the highly unlikely chance for a Kyuss reunion and, in a dream world, Desert Sessions. Sign me up

    I could not agree more. The session work alone should allow his presence in The Hall Of
    Fame. I wish someday a complete list of every session he played on would be available.
    While his best work as a solo artist was from the late 60′s to the mid 70′s, it was great
    to see hear the wonderful 2008 release. This showcased his still prolific guitar playing
    and also found his voice in great form. He also has a knack for finding and lending his
    voice to the amazing songwriters of the past and present. His versions usually surpassed
    the originals. Tim Hardin’s “Reason To Believe” Green Days “The Times Of Your Lives”
    Gordon Lightfoot’s “The Last Time I Saw Her” Randy Newman’s “Marie” were some of
    my personal favorites. Those incredible Jimmy Webb songs sound as relevant today as
    when they were first recorded. I just read he is planning on recording an unplugged cd
    of those classic songs. Glen most definitely would have my vote.

  • /users/?user=jswissiam Jswissiam

    I agree with this review. There are no pop stars currently anywhere near her level musically. Lady Gaga may have a bigger persona at the moment, but Beyonce blows her out of the water musically. She came back this time with a better voice, and much less generic R&B influenced pop. Just listening to her voice on the song “I Care” proved it to me, no other pop singer could imitate that guitar towards the end of the song, note by note. Her voice really is an instrument.

    Mr. Gerber,

    Your analytical nature of this album is bang on!
    and the summary ” It’s the last Weezer-related piece of greatness, slightly ahead of that band’s 2002 release, Maladroit, and a few laps behind the “Blue Album” and Pinkerton.”

    I’ve always paired Maladroit and 7 more minutes together, they really summed up both Rivers and Matt Sharp’s acceptance into their 30′s. It almost seems, that whatever sort of came out of “Songs from the Black Hole” so far, would have fit nicely alongside the Rentals debut. Sort of “Prog-space pop meets the IT crowd (Thank you NetFlicks).

    I very much see those as the SIX albums that define Weezer. Not just the first 2 that everyone focuses on.

    Oh yeah BTW, I consider the Green Album to be a bunch of pop drivel that the record company wanted after such a long haitus.

    Totally forgot this was a Rentals related post.

    Stacking your lineup(“Festival”) is a good way to hedge. You might think that since the festival scene is so booming and record sales don’t exist anymore that live tours are picking up the slack, but touring is getting more expensive and generating less money than it used to.

    Gabriel in Camden, NJ in June 2011 – amazing ! Didn’t know what to expect, given his age & that he was touring with an orchestra.  The man has still got it.  He’s still out of the box, still  moves around stage like a crazy man.  A totally different show than the US tour when I last saw him, but enjoyable nonetheless.  Played for close to 3 hours. The orchestra was incredible, not what I expected. Complemented Gabriel’s music & performance very well.   See this show; it was well worth the $.

    This is old news, actually. It’s been on Wikipedia for ages, and the Simpsons creators publicly talked about how MJ got someone else to sing his parts quite a few years ago . . .

  • /users/?user=anon ANON

     Not a prank. For contractual reasons, he was not allowed to lend his singing talents to the Simpsons. =/

    But both stories might be true, too — I’m can imagine MJ thinking it would be funny to tell people who knew him that he sang on the Simpsons, just to prank/test them. XD

    People say “_____ doesn’t even write their own” like that makes a difference. Who wrote it, who produced it, who worked on it, auto tuned it, whatever. None of that is important. The final product is all that matters, and this final product has Beyonce’s name on it. Thus it is her album.

  • /users/?user=zatzbatz zatzbatz

    I think people are calling it a Thom Yorke solo album because it sounds like Thom Yorke’s solo album, not because it only takes on person to play the songs. He needed a full band to play his solo tour also.

    What’s with this “EXCLUSIVE” label, such an old skool and outdated label. Anybody can click to get the embed code so how can it be exclusive then? It makes you sound like a Murdoch tabloid, and that’s very unfortunate because you’re way better than that. So just drop the EXCLUSIVE BS and it will make you look a whole lot better IMO. Just my thought. I see that EXCLUSIVE gimmick more and more online, and it really annoys me. That’s something for poseurs and lamers and corporate suits that don’t have their ego in check yet. You’re one of the best, even without it. You sure as hell don’t need it, so why not just let it go.

    I’ve been trying so hard to embrace the work of Vernon, but to me there is no “there” there. The work strikes me as quasi-etherial and watered-down. In this genre I’ve been far more moved by Ben Gibbard and Jay Farrar’s “Big Sur” and John Grant’s “Queen of Denmark.” I feel like I should be part of Bon Iver’s target audience, and am frustrated that I’m unable to be. Where is my listening lacking as I approach these albums? I am asking this sincerely: what am I missing, and how can I change my approach?

Being the true democracy that The Beatles were until the end, if one said “No”, whatever was at hand was turned down. Another example was “George’s – All Things Must Pass” also put up for the “Let It Be” album, however, by vote…was turned down.

    I respectfully disagree.  I’ve listened to the album dozens of times and not only do I enjoy it more and more with each listen, but I’m still trying to fully grasp the concept behind the songs.  There’s an underlying theme throughout the record.  It’s a question.  What is good and evil referring to?  What’s even defined as good and evil, as those can be quite relative to each individual. Beneath the “fun, upbeat guitars” (which there’s not that much of, I think) and the “infection lyrics and harmonies”, there’s a lot more going on; a lot of questions being asked and struggles to find their answers.

    i say we back off the reviewer a bit here. a 3 out of 5 rating isn’t exactly what i’d call scathing. tally hall creates music that i feel probably takes an eclectic, quirky taste to enjoy. i wouldn’t call it music for the masses. a 3 out of 5 says, hey these guys are without a doubt talented, but maybe not something that will appeal to a vast amount of people as iconic. as a very avid tally hall fan i’d say it’s a fair review from someone who, perhaps, just has different taste.

    I think I’ve listened to this album more in the past 9 days than I have ever listened to an album. I think there is PLENTY of longevity in this album. Many of the songs have lyrics that are utterly mind-boggling, and the beautiful sounds that accompany them really hit you home, in my opinion. This album’s sound makes me feel like no other music really can. Truly inspiring, to say the least. 
    “Simplicity and fun” though? *cough*Fate of the Stars*cough*. This album is all but simplistic. As I mentioned earlier, the stories told in these songs are utterly beautiful, sweet, haunting, and mind-boggling all in the same album. It really leaves you thinking when you’re done listening. 

    This album is absolutely brilliant. Please, give it another try. And maybe actually listen to it.

You honor Tally Hall’s past strengths in MMMM by referencing their whimsical charm and upbeat charisma, but you completely missed the mark on the tone of Good & Evil. You sum up the album by labeling it “simple” and “fun”. I’d really like to know how “&” or “Hymn For a Scarecrow” or “Fate of the Stars” or “Misery Fell” or “Out in the Twilight” or “Never Meant to Know” are anywhere near simple. In fact, they’re incredibly complex and on top of that, incredibly mature. The entire album has a beautifully satisfying feel to it that has been ignored in this review. I’m disappointed in anyone who can’t see into such an intellectual and inspiring album.

Why isn’t there room for a person – or a website, for that matter – to love Beyonce and Bon Iver, Jay-Z and your precious Sam Roberts (who may well be fantastic but that’s not the point), Lady Gaga and Arcade Fire? It’s these self-imposed limitations to cause people on BOTH sides of the indie/mainstream divide to miss out on some great music. Fuck that – I’m gonna listen to what I like, period, and if it’s a glittery pop-star singing about dancing, a rapper popping bottles in honor of a fabulous ass, or a lonesome folkie singing abstract-ass lyrics in the woods, that shouldn’t matter; what really matters is that I’m not listening to Ke$ha.

    Swiseman11′s comment makes him look like a joke.

    “Traffic flow was the worst I’ve ever experienced”… have you been to a massive before? Compared to EDC last year, Coachella last year OR this year, and Together As One (an Insomniac event), this was a dream. The biggest problem was that GoogleMaps directed people down Las Vegas Blvd rather than I-15 like Insomniac/LVMS was set up for. Granted, they should have told us this, but it still took us only an hour on the worst day, and 10 minutes on the best. 

    “It’s a wonder any drugs made it in at all (because they certainly did) after such thorough screening.” Okay this was your first massive. ID check and security took awhile, but they were smart about what they were looking for – guns, knives and chap stick (?!) – and lines were plentiful. 80k people is going to mandate lines. 

    Well stated about the MiB reference – we talked about it while walking around the grounds. It was a marathon, not a sprint, and this just became the Boston marathon.

    Solid article – despite the Coldplay review. I know Coldplay can work a crowd of Top-50 loving Brits like nobody’s business, and I was willing to buy that they put on a legitimately great headlining show. But calling “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” underrated is cra-cra-cra-cra-crazy. Coldplay is a rock band – the fact that their lead single is a looped sample with lyrics that appear written by a seventh grader trying to get his first handjob is inexcusable. Clearly I’m torn between slamming them for not writing the music, or slamming them for not stealing lyrics as well.

    WTF is wrong or bad about a “down” album? Any bimbo can sing happy songs, songs about pussy and great big dicks. But that is the easy stuff. Life is fucking hard. Really fucking hard and you are going to be broken by it and then you will repair and be broken again and then repair. That is real. And I’m always appreciative when I hear artists who can describe this part of life because, and this is the very reason for The Blues, it reminds us we are not alone, not the only ones feeling the way we are. We are human. Life is suffering. If you don’t know that then you will learn. Trust me on that.

    Album would be Foo Fighters’ Wasting Light, with the Airborne Toxic Event’s All At Once in second.

    As for the song, I’m staying Foo Fighters with “Walk,” but Death Cab’s “You Are a Tourist” is a VERY very close second.

    Looking forward to releases from Mark Lanegan, possibly Queens of the Stone Age, and maybe even Them Crooked Vultures. Also the Boots Electric album should be fun!

    You contradict yourself.  First you say Eminem used to be good (“Eminem hasn’t put out a decent album since the Eminem Show…Yeah, tracks like ”Kill You” were unique back in the day”), then you say Eminem was never good in the first place (“It was good when I was in high school, cruising around with friends, but
    now that I’m 26 and have broadened my musical knowledge, I’ve realized
    he is simple and immature.”).

    Looks like you’ve got some maturing to do.

    Great review. Makes me want to get to Glasto so bad. One thing I really liked was how bits of the culture and scene of Glasto seeped in to the show reviews. In the festival reviews, I’d love to see more of that, perhaps even entire separate sections, as opposed to just reviews of the sets at a festival. A set can happen anywhere. But to capture the atmosphere of the entire grounds would make for even more fulfilling articles. Great stuff!

    Get good headphones, listen to it without distractions, wait to make judgments till you let it sit and hear it a few times. If you want, read some positive reviews that talk about what people believe works most effectively and beautifully about this album. And if after all that, and you feel confident you’ve given it a shot, don’t worry. We’ve each got tastes, and thankfully the idea of a “target audience” is far from precise and riddled with exceptions.

    Lil B didnt JUST decide to rap like this about these topic matters. He HAS been doing so, you have just been looking at his musical fluff too much. Tupac was rapping about panther power and strife in his early days but then rapped about gangster shit, fun shit, and some ridiculousness. So before you try to comment on the based god, you should o your hw. The man has hundreds of songs. Not all of them are ambient or match up to societal standards of good rapping but he is genuine. Check out his songs Voices Carry, The Age of Information, Times Blue, The World is ending, The Trap, My history, I still cant sleep. He has threw in some gems in there that no one cares about and get significantly lesser views on youtube…why? Maybe we should ask ourselves why he has gotten more famous for rapping about idiotic memes and subjects. He has fooled you all, he is not as articulate but he is intelligent enough to work his way into a rap game many fail to prosper in and get into off the idiocracy of his Swag raps. What does that say about hip-hop, so before you judge I suggest we all re-ANALYZE and do our proper research and attack this Lil B dilemma from a multitude of lens/views.

  • /users/?user=matadorelov Matadorelov

    Is an entertaining album, I would not call it a great album though…And I do enjoy dance-able music, it’s just that some tracks I really did not enjoy; for example, Falcon Punch…I don’t know, it sounded to much like daft punk to me, and after the fort minute I had to forward to the next track. I did not enjoy “Without Sound” either, too pop-ish for my taste. But, yes, apart from that, there are a bunch of tracks that are enjoyable…The question to ask is, if these guys will eventually became “disposable” or not. And in my humble opinion, they run the risk of becoming so…Cheers. 

  • /users/?user=ghost-that-never-lies ghost that never lies…

    Radiohead, Muse, and Strokes will probably be the headliners….

    I have definitely hear major rumblings from some of my buddies about Muse definitely being there.  I would say Radiohead or Coldplay for one spot.  

    We will know for sure about the Foo Fighters on Monday b/c they are releasing new dates.  If Arcade Fire isn’t booked, then I am definitely of the belief they hate the state of Florida….

    Why would you cover the “druq” scene in print? Is the idea to make the law enforcement more aware and more rigorous in their pursuit of keeping these festivals, of which the majority of your readers love, “safer”? Show some journalistic sensibility and take that out for the sake of everyone. You are writing for a well read and usually well respected web blog, please act like it. It’s one thing to allude to a certain scene and an entirely other thing to bring unwarranted and unnecessary heat to it. Please correct.

    I couldn’t agree with your entire review more. I was very disappointed in the album because it was not the Incubus I have grown to love and follow. If this was music from a band other than Incubus, I would love it; but the fact that it is a different Incubus, leaves me struggling to really enjoy it.

    As a die hard fan of Incubus, I wish I didn’t agree with what you say but its all true. This album while pretty to listen to is a real change in everything Incubus used to be, I hope they have it out of their systems and can move on to make more driving albums in the future.

    At the end of June, there was a very casual interview with bassist Tim Commerford. The interview shows him tweeking his geer in their recording space. The interview concludes with this statement by Tim, “If I was a fan, I would definitely be rushing out to go see this show, because truth be told, this might be the last show we ever play. That’s the way I always look at it. You never know if this is going to be the last show we ever do.”

    Here’s the link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRZzKiNYmzs

    Alex says it directly in the title of the article “Real or publicity stint?” I think it’s neither. Since 2007 the band has played some shows, but not many. Rage Against the Machine isn’t only about the music, they’re also about the message. That’s how the band has always been, they stand up for their beliefs. So for the meantime being, yes, maybe Rage is done. But in the long run, Rage will live on forever. The sheer novelty of seeing Rage Against the Machine makes them just as exciting as they were when they last released Battle of Los Angelos

    Who knows if the band will ever record another album. Their music and performances are extemly powerful and will speak to generations for decades to come. I will definitely admit that Rock the Bells in 2007 was one of the most powerful performances I have ever seen.

    plenty of people see those acts sober. not to deny that drugs are prevalent, but it shouldn’t be about the drugs, it’s about the music, and acting like there aren’t huge droves of sober concert goers is inaccurate and a disservice to those who are there for the music.

    Wilco should really be on this list. Not only are the songs incredible, but since Nels Cline joined they have re-worked and continued to re-work their songs for a live setting making them totally unique from the album. “Misunderstood” and ”Via Chicago” are always standouts as is Nels’ freak out on “Ashes of American Flag”.

    Recently I got a download of a 22 song set from Dylan’s “Rolling Thunder Revue 1975″. This has got to be one of the best live recordings I’ve ever heard. The band (which changed often throughout the tour) is beyond tight and dynamic. Dylan is damn right ferocious on “Hattie Cane” and “Hurricane” (a song I always liked but was never crazy for, on this album it is mind melting). I seriously can’t stress how insane the musicians’ intuition is here. Dylan is free to control the pace and dynamics of the song on a dime without any hesitation from the rest of the band. It really is a marvel.

    To anyone whose seen Caribou live, especially off of the Swim tour, you know how incredible those shows are. To me, in terms of modern bands, there is no comparison to him (and his band) and what they deliver each night. They are like a jazz combo and jam band all rolled up into one psychidelic dance party.

    Neil Young, see any song live.

    Lastly, The Residents need to be on here. They broke the mould on what a “live” show means and where the live and the recorded end (if they do). I don’t think there is a group who has inpired more bands on this earth.

    Thinking of how much I have changed in the past 5 years… (getting my license, first car, gambling for the first time, graduating high school, drinking legally) I can understand why this album is so much different than anything before that they have done. But.. understanding that a lapse in time that long for any band would change their sound is where you have to put your mind. If they basically rewrote a new version of morning view then everyone would complain that they haven’t grown.. I think this album speaks for the time they have been missing. It speaks to me, anyway, and with their headquarters idea in LA i think it’s really going to make a lasting impact!

    Headliners will probably be standard fare, (unless they snag Radiohead, which is a long shot). Something from the group of Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Muse, and Arcade Fire, with Kanye being the “not completely original but still a big get” one.  Where this fest really has some potential though is with the sub-headliners.  Pixies? Raconteurs? Queens of the Stoneage?  Definitely some real chances to get some originality (in terms of this year at least) with those acts.

    Festival Republic has only booked a hip hop headliner once for Reading and that was Eminem in 2001. It’s possible that he could be on the line up though my gut feeling is that he won’t. This is my list of the most likely headliners.

    Muse- Festival sluts and they skipped Florida on their tour last year
    Arcade Fire- Festival sluts who have never played Florida
    Coldplay- Festival slut
    Foo Fighters- Another Festival slut. They are announcing more tour dates on Monday and if no show in Tampa or Orlando is announced I think that makes them a lock.The Strokes- Festival Sluts, though I could see them as a sub if Festival Republic books a really strong top 3
    Soundgarden- They are playing Voodoo and have no shows booked  in FloridaBlink 182- The Honda Civic Tour is not making a stop in Orlando and they are playing Voodoo so that makes a them a possibility The Killers- They have  a good relationship with Festival Republic and maybe they want to play one big American Festival before heading into the studio to record their new album
    Radiohead- They for sure a longshot, but they have a long history of playing Festival Republic events.

    I completely agree with Clayton. These kind of records are not new to Lil B but these songs on his youtube have just a few hundred thousand views combined. While Wonton Soup abd Ellen Degeneres have over 4 million views alone. He puts out silly bullshit music and deep shit but his fun celebrity songs are more popular. If I a restaurant and I serve ramen noodles and steak for the same price yet everyone wants the cheaper faster easy to make ramen, who is the idiot the chef or the customers?

    We need to keep in mind the life of the product our ideas depends on. Regular rope lights are rated to have 25,000 hours life. LED rope lights are rated for 100,000 and if we do the math – this is 4 times longer period. However if the environment around the lights is with high temperature the life of the regular rope lights vastly shortens but if the temperature is not too high the LED rope lights will not be affected because of their low heat emissions. Higher temperature is hazardous for all electrical and electronic products but if they themselves provide low emissions of heat this will enable them to endure higher environment temperature without endangering their normal operation.

    Drive By Truckers – 18 Wheels of Love

    Unfortunately, for the fans and people involved, this live rendition which included one of the greatest rock monologues to ever simultaneously touch your heart and brain’s pleasure center will never be played the same again. I first heard the live version on their “Alabama Ass Whuppin’” and was moved by Patterson’s authenticity and excellent raconteurmanship. The tale which precludes the song is of his mother’s divorce, her depression, her re-entering into the work force, and finally meeting the man of her dreams, he’s 300 pounds of solid muscle and gut and has been purposely fucking up his driving logs for the last six months to have an exccuse to be in her fiery presence. The two are soon married in Dollywood and Patterson, too broke to give a weeding present, writes “18 Wheels of Love” for his mother and Chester.

    Several years later Chester devoloped cancer and was brought into hospice care to die. Patterson added these all too real and somber events to the tale including that Chester would never get the chance to walk his daughter in California down the aisle.

    I finally caught my first Truckers show in 2008 (I live in Canada) and was practically loosing my shit when I heard the opening chords to “18 Wheels of Love”. Patterson expertly had the crowd in palm of his hands as he ran through the above story, but then told us all he had more to add to the tale. He said Chester’s condition worsened and all his family and grandkids flew out to say their  goodbyes to him. Chester seemed to be more delusional and continued to ask his hospice nurse when he could drive once again. Patterson then relayed he recieved a call some months later while out on tour and that the call was from Chester. He said not only was it from Chester, it was a call from Chester who was sitting behind the wheel of an 18 Wheeler bound for California and ultimately to his daughter’s wedding. The crowd erupted in a way I’d never experienced before, to which Patterson yelled “YOU THINK I’M MAKING THIS SHIT UP?” “I COULD NEVER MAKE THIS SHIT UP! THIS SONG IS CALLED 18 WHEELS OF LOVE AND EVERY GODDAMN WORD IS TRUE!!”

    Since then I’d seen the Truckers a number of times and enjoyed in the same enthralling experience of the 18 Wheels story with many different friends and strangers. At Sasquatch ’10 it was revealed that the tale of Chester had finally come to its end. Chester had passed away 3 days prior to the festival. To most of the very young crowd who was gathered for Passion Pit, this news fell on deaf ears. But for me and my friends it was unexpectedly very emotional, more than I thought any personal story of a guy in a band who I liked could ever personally be to me.

     

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    I should add that there is a version of Chester beating cancer and driving to California on their Live at Austin City Limits, but it it’s not the best interpretation of it. I think they were told to limit their profanities because all the “bad words” are removed from this version. I mean I still like it, but it lacks the emotional and euphoric punch I’ve heard so many times at a DBT show.

    Music festivals in the US are still relatively new to the average music fan and the general public, but I think they will peak stateside more quickly then abroad bc Americans are much more quicker in hopping on the latest bandwagon (and then hopping right back off). Also, the concept of “cool” in the US is much more fleeting since we generally have the disposable resources (or rather a lack of respect for debt) to dip our toes in the warm waters of the latest trends pretty much immediately. And we all know that a concept that is primarily driven by people who thrive on being the first to do anything will die by the same sword when people rush to be the first ones to say “music festivals are sooooo 2009.” Just look at the attitudes on message boards and websites like CoS: we are the trend-setters, and we are getting harder to impress everyday. It’s not about running out of bands – it’s about running out of experiences we haven’t spent hundreds (or thousands) of dollars on 5 times just last summer… My recommendation? Try volunteering at a fest- it’s pays for your ticket, it offers a whole new perspective on the fest experience, and it reignites the appreciation for wandering the canals of food tents and standing in beer lines.

Unplugged was more of a personal exploration for Kurt, and mostly covers, and didn’t constitute the grunge hybrid of punk and metal as we know it. Lastly, Superunknown should be on here. Plus Superfuzz should be on the list. Yeah, so many things wrong with this list.

    i too was afraid- when everyone began speaking about the soft nature of it- i have been a fan since the dawn of time -as everyone else– however- i really followed their live performances as well as purely instrumental tracks that were used in a surfing documentary as well as their own “look Alive” dvd–between ’07 -current time and not only were they truly growing that whole time –this is to me like the finale of  a great fireworks display– at first each thing is their own shape, color and sound–and people just spin in circles -going –ooh -ooh look here no there –each person with their own favorites— different styles but equally worthy — but then at the finale- you just look -and are filled- without being overwhelmed –just happy

     which of course is only my opinion —plus- I heard that clip of tomorrow’s food- from a few years ago– and since then have been on edge waiting to get to this point- -(yes i’m a one of those eco people too-so it was just funny cuz its just true– this world is changing in a way that is hard for anyone to take in conventionally anymore– this epitomizes that– mourning the rush of the frentic blast of technology and physical disruptions– but is moving forward with a new solution-
    —————————————————————————————————————————-
    but as everyone else is so passionate about this one—liking or totally disliking–i figure i’d just lay out my peace because this here is my “If not now when  moment”- and i dont mind at all if you guys think i’m a complete fruitcake—but maybe it might give at least someone something to really think about–
    —Mike’s symphonic piece (played at Disney music hall) had a movement being anchored by typewriters-which to me is comforting in that guttural sense -like bubble wrap – and it was insanely great- the idea of it alone is refreshing –but the execution was genius–also Ben’s ‘roots’-are showing full on(yes punny)but seriously– it is the most cohesive albums they have ever done -

    i do hate to take offense to anyone else’s comments or feelings but –i HATE elevator music- and musically for me this album is intricate as hell — each one is of different emotions-therefore they shouldn’t sound the same the evoke a more primal –feel- -and now Brandon Boyd is saying less-possibly because he’s had the time to sit down and see that in the end- in most way these days —less is more– -nothing is harder in this world than actually producing things that sounding like they are easy— but what is not–is what people want them to make to appease others it
    is vulnerable because they are actually sharing—themselves-  It is
    about absolute reflexive commensality—

    And ya know-the lyrics never truly made sense entirely before but the point was how his words played as instruments to cimpliment the rest of the others— As I appreciate a wide range of musical styles-especially the–”what category does this fit into? file” –I am astounded and wholly fullfilled–  its like any other art form– sometimes the beauty is in the activation of the negative space–   this is not categorical frankly because noone compares— this is not to say everyone will enjoy it–or other bands are less worthy— but they are not the same–but again like staring at a very simple “looking painting”– sometimes you have to just stare at it awhile- and then truly get it— or you choose to move on to something that fills you–
    - one of my favorite songs is still Vitamin—but I love it the way they play it as adults–its everything hard and full–but its better– i mean i ran around with the boys in the big pants and all was into the all other underground hectic
    mess–but ya know– i’m only 4 years younger and somehow i’ve sorted shifted this way myself as many if not most of my peers– in the beginning everyone loved them cuz it was for this core pack of kids who found no other outlet that was made for them—- well maybe now its different than anything anyone expected–but still the same in its point– but we aren’t in high school or college either- “those kids were US when we were kids” —this album is made by adults- i still believe it welcomes the younger fans as openly–but it speaks to many of the same people it always has– and they are wayyy too talented a band to have to always turn the circles they were at 24–

    feel free to wield the daggers if you need to–but i just feel like for them to put themselves out there is not a far reach from a new england witch trial– and i guess i am super pissed off about the way the crazy people in Malaysia are treating them without even knowing them– and the charity work they do –not to show off but to share–and give back–so-and with all the emotions of mixed reviews -amongst the blast i’m sure of what comes tomorrow- i just want to sink in the fact that we love them cuz they are different– this is music and as i said i have zero ill judgement of anyone this album doesn’t reach but i felt the need to say ahead of time– i’m tired of living in a free world that is becoming much less free even in our own country– so i applaud the brave effort and think they should be commended for ushering change in a way that will spark conversations–and allow people to speak up without feeling alienated -and wish them luck– and thanks-

    as i said -sorry for the length-and the soapbox but i’ve said it all and now i’m going back to bed- without ever ranting on the subject again– i am still not even sure what twitter is and why? and would normally never do this kinda thing— but i am here too—and many people like me just shrug stuff off – and since i not only am a fan—- but truly heard this on one of the days that i am sicker than i’ve ever been before–approaching surgery and anxiety —– this made my head not hurt–and i can sleep now— if they can do that for me–its worth me giving back i suppose–
    ——
     maybe you younger sprier–or my age and sprier with all the thousnads of friends can storm the manila crowd- whether we like each other or not -and them or not— i feel we all count as much as justin bieber fans who blasted a talented musician with hate crap– crazy menopausal women wanting to run around limiting people from the chance to do well anything–cuz we’re all kinda scared now—so  maybe you guys — passionate or moderate–from middle ground– can actually ‘let freedom ring”- then watch it on tv– from the phone– take the talent to spread the love —i respect this original article and know that ‘nobody here is hating per se —and respect everyone for just saying it out loud– but– what’s gonna happen tomorrow when jerry fallwell or some bologna tries to block them for us to-on the jesus crispy channels — and to let everyone get the chance to hear stuff and get mad enough to cuss in abbreviated form–quickly–
    —wake your friends up -and give a shout out —-
    –part of me picking a non-official post is because of the fact that too many people will send the love– in the form of–please brandon boyd bear my child—and turn us all into what looks like justin bieber fans– so what now? from those of us at least evaluating the music –especially us that it just hits right because maybe some else feels like crap to but could possibly actually be in comfort
    –i really am going to bed–but y’all are cool and worthy too–so keep on keeping on
    –i’m just saying-

    For fans of eels I would highly recommend you check out E’s stellar side project MC Honky. I certainly can not take credit for this astonishing and rare find, but I will spread the word. A now friend of mine introduced me to MC Honky’s “I am the Messiah” on a forum and it blew my mind! I had no idea it existed (and thought I was a pretty big fan of E’s). Thanks to the internets you can check out this rare piece of wonderment at grooveshark (http://grooveshark.com/#/artist/Mc+Honky/202670). I would also recommend you read this stellar review to prep yourself on the sounds about to enter your brain (http://sasquatchfest.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=bestthreadsarebest&action=display&thread=1248&page=4). Enjoy!

    Every Incubus album including this one is different from the last. if you listen to them in successsion you can hear the meld of the sound evolution.  Incubus is truly one of the most creative, talented bands with staying power.  They have joined the ranks of classic bands who encompass so many genres and evolve such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, and Van Morrison.  This is the reason that you hear new albums from Incubus after the “alternative” music era is a decade past.  Listen to a recent Godsmack album and you will understand the difference.

    Hi Philip, I agree Sufjan Stevens shouldn’t be compared regarding lyrics, but the voice are really similar (I think as much as to Ben Gibbard’s). Also, the chorus like voice in the back (in particular i the song Broken Horses) are similar to some Stevens’ songs which gives them another point of comparison and resemblence. What do you think?

    Because Orlando Calling isn’t just for Florida, they’re aiming to take what they do in England with these massive, close to untoppable festivals, and bring it here.

  • /users/?user=booger Booger

    Ok, I listened to most of the album and these are my notes:

    It starts off real strong showcasing the whole reggae/dub, ska, punk influences that we all love.  However  track 6 or 7-11 are almost the same ole sappy “oh girl why are you doing me wrong” song.  Practically the same intros, same song concept and almost same chord progressions.    As the poster below stated way too much like Jack Johnson or Jason Mraz in the sense of a cheesy pop song.  Track 12 “Can You Feel It” is a step in the direction the whole album should be.  They used that Wiz K (instead of Snoop and KRS) guy to target the younger audience me thinks.

    The deluxe album has three bonus tracks.  Two of them (Dynamite and Safe & Sound) should’ve replaced two of the tracks from 7-11, as they demonstrate the diversity and innovation that lie at the bands’ core principles.  The original band took a shit load of risks and every song displayed something different & outlandish.  Music has changed so much in 16 years I didn’t expect an album that replicated the old sound exactly but rather include some  progressive styles of today.  Safe & Sound is old Sublime-esque in terms of risks.  It’s a dubstep song, which is a big thing in southern california right now.  It’s an elementary attempt at dubstep but they get major kudos for stepping outside of the box. 

    What I was hoping for most with this album was something I could bump real loud in the car or at a party.  A good raging soundtrack for the summer.  Some of the tracks can be rocked out to but it’s just not consistant. A large chunk lacks edge and grittyness.  I wasn’t expecting the world from this album but was hoping for something a little more dope with a bigger bite.

    We’ll see though, maybe it just takes a little longer to peel back the layers and discover the genius and brilliance of it.  Or it just might actually be aimed at the Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, singer/songer/surfer audience.

    One last comment about poster Jodyw13, dude let it go.  That argument is tired and overplayed.  No need to debate such a vague topic.  Sublime is dead, true but Brad was only one strong component of the unit.  There is so much more to creating music than lyrics and vocals.  The producers, sound engineers and other contributing members made Sublime what it was.  Did you ever see them live in the early to mid nineties?  There was nothing revolutionary about their live shows other than good entertainment.  The studio albums were brilliant all because the contributions of many with Brad’s timeless vision pushing the them into the mainstream. He didn’t even finish his obligations on Sublime self-titled.

    So anyway, enough about a sore subject.  I guess we’ll see what this new creature can bring to the table in the next couple of years.  I have hope that they’ll get back to killing shit in the future. I’m stoked about this Rome guy.  I think he has some real potential and seems to be really passionate and a hard worker.

    I agree that “You and I” and “Echoes” are the best songs on the album. Possibly because both are his old style of songs, not the new cleaner and more commercial sound. His voice never goes high enough on the new album, while on his older songs both the synths and his voice would carry you away.

    I think the album is better than 2/5, possibly a 4/5 or a 3.5/5, but in my opinion this work is just not as good as his previous EP. Both the songs I like on the new album are from his older style (and even then, “Echoes” doesn’t go high enough).

    ever occur to any of you that the media embellishes what they’re reporting on to make thier story more marketable? it’s unfotunate people make judgements on others based on this gossip.
    if you knew what really was going on you’d all feel for the guy. he’s actually the most thoughtful, generous, considerate, caring, selfless person. people are constantly abusing his generosity to milk him for whatever they can get from him. this loser junkie fleabag thieving ambitionless lazy succubus waste of space old tore up hag was being evicted and offered to let nick use her truck in the month before he left on tour. he had massive amounts of shit to get done in preparation. he rented a place and moved in. she never made any effort to get a job- when he went on tour she drained his account to get her and her bum friends smacked out – and he returned to find many of his belongings missing- laptop, instruments etc. he tried to kick her out but she wouldnt go. threatening to make a scene and trying to provoke him to hit her – hitting him- knowing once he did she could have him put away enabling her to loot his life to get herself high and continue to flop around without working for a while. he gave her 5000$ to leave by the time he returned from the next tour stretch and rented the guest house on the property for her to stay in so he could lock his place up. when he returned she was still there and the $ had been spent. he gave her 3 more grand and told her to go but she started a scene refusing. her bum pal called the cops saying he hit her- which he never did, but who’ll believe that when the press has already marked him as a beater?
    when the cops got there she and her pal were outside- he was the only one inside. he didnt really understand what was going on outside so he stayed in not sure whst to do. they shot the lock off the door- he didnt resist- they ransacked his place and found his rifle concealed in his closet. it was his dads- and its registered. zgb

    I’ve been on this page for almost an hour now repeatedly hitting play.  This is far more satisfying than Blink-182′s delivery I have to say.  I also find it interesting these big rock names land new singles just as Spotify launces stateside.  What’s next?  Look out children, there’s a new No Doubt song lurking around the corner.

    There
    is a company named sun chips which has introduced their potato chips in
    biodegradable packaging. They were the first company in the world who has come
    up with compostable packaging. They also have made television advertisement
    about their potato chips packaging film used. The response was tremendous from
    the customers. Their sales grew more than 300% . This is one of the most
    success stories of biodegradable bags for potato chips packaging. There is one
    problem in sun chips packaging, the shelf life of the product is reduced and
    crispness of the product packed is not good compared with traditional plastic
    bags packaging. Still they have success and this is the happy ending of sun
    chips biodegradable packaging.

    I absolutely love this album! I got my first copy (bought 4 actually) when it was first released in Greenville, SC (where they were recording/working at the time with OneOctober). It was re-released later with a few new tracks – so, of course, I had to get a copy of it too! I saw Civil Twilight perform close to a dozen times over their first couple of years in SC – They are awesome performers and really great guys off-stage as well! During long car or motorcycle trips (or even low background music while studying) this album is the first on my playlist! My 4-yr-old grand-daughter always recognizes their songs and sings along – she has seen them perform at least 4 times herself! I am happy that they are growing in success (as they so well deserve), but I miss them since they moved to Nashville – I do keep checking to see when they will be back in my area for another performance, because I will be there! One of my favorite memories of them was hanging out with them on the set for a short film/video based on their song “Soldier” – it was filmed in Piedmont, SC – my nephews were featured in it as 2 young boys whose father comes back from war (WW2) – the father is suffering from Post-Traumatice Stress Syndrome and he sees scenes of his war buddies while watching the boys play soldier, also sees enemy soldiers in the mist while his wife is hanging out the sheets to dry on the clothesline. I don’t know whatever happened to the short film, but would love to be able to get a copy. Rich, Andy, Steve – you guys are great. Period. Much love and wishes for your continued success, YOU ROCK!

    This album is mature and to me, appears to be a declaration of where Beyonce is at this point in her carrer. This woman has earned the right to make any type of song or music she pleases, and all critic, and negative reviews aside, that is just what she has done. “4″ is a collection of where Beyonce is now musically. The album revisits sounds from the early 90′s which I really love as a longtime fan of Beyonce, and music in general.  Great Job Beyonce!

    I called KLUV radio in Dallas and asked if there were any plans for the Monkees to have a 2011 concert in the area. The program director Peter Z told me that KLUV tried to get the Monkees booked in the Dallas area on their 2011 reunion tour  but they were too expensive. What a disappointment. KLUV used to have all kinds of oldies music festivals in the  area and ha hosted many great concerts. .

    Seems like it’ll be worth picking this up when it comes out. Gotta be honest though- there’s sort of a predictable way the bass and drums have plopped and bopped along in a poppy way on the last couple of chili peppers albums that wears a person out after awhile. (especially if you listen to all of Stadium Arcadium in one sitting..) Was hoping this one might be a bit different, As far as the guitar playing- I’m not seeing much of a difference between John & Josh. They both seem like minimalists at this point. The lead guitar over the chorus isn’t really a John thing & the guitar work seems a bit more ‘…trippy.’ But otherwise.. I’m not seeing the difference at this point. It just sounds like John is on a George Harrison kick.

    Boy- Does Josh look young. LOL.

     Fed up with FestivalRepublic (as I’d been expecting lineup on 7/18), I cross-referenced most of the major U.S. festivals — plus a few smaller but timely ones — to make an “educated” prediction. The main qualification is discounting any bands playing the other two festivals in Florida, Langerado and DeLuna; this probably will not be true wholesale, as I’m sure some will appear twice. You can really see the “fest whores” that people reference this way, as well as the lack of diversity for the most part — thus, we should not / likely will not be very surprised by the lineup.

    He is right however. This record is very dull, bland and boring and nothing sets it apart from the other bands playing the exact same thing. Of course it has its catchy songs that’d radio would buy, but its nothing special. I was expecting a bit more. I do appreciate the homages to 50s rock n roll I hear though.

  • /users/?user=garamondo-hennepin Garamondo Hennepin

    Ghost, I take it you are ruling out bands with any Florida dates, e.g. Fleet Foxes, M83, Cut Copy & Washed Out? Not sure this is necessarily imperative: Cut Copy is playing Orlando (10/01) then DeLuna (10/13); likewise Arctic Monkeys Orlando (10/7) then Langerado (10/8).

    Cut Copy’s schedule is weird, can’t explain that one….

    Arctic Monkey’s are routed through to South Florida that’s why they have that date prior to Langerado.

    I would definitely assume most bands won’t come and play the same city twice in less than two months b/c of exclusive contracts.  Fleet Foxes are in Europe so they are out.

    Washed Out is touring with Cut Copy so I would probably put them under the same category of playing a city to close to the fest….

    I couldn’t give it a perfect 5, probably a 4-4.5, even though they’re probably my favorite band.  If I was just going by my personal opinion I would certainly give them a 5 on this album.  What’s odd is that I would give Censored Colors a 4.5-5 (even though it wasn’t all that pioneering or adventurous it was solid, and flowed fantastically), but I still see In the Mountain, In the Cloud as a better album.  Had In the Mountain, In the Cloud come out, say in 2008 and CC had just been released I believe I would be let down.  Portugal. The Man has become, in a way, too prolific for their own good.  With each new album there’s a huge expectation for what they’re doing.  But you have to admire a band that breaks against their own grain upon every new effort.  They rock their own boat, and shake things up completely, going in an entirely different direction each time.  And as much as the fan side of me would like to say that the album is perfect, I would only be saying so on my own ear, because it does sound phenomenal to me.  But I believe your review was fair and you backed up what you had to say.  That’s the good thing about music, we don’t have to like the same music to get along, and you don’t have to get along to like the same music.  My final on In the Mountain, In the Cloud 4.25

    I’m disappointed. For as long as I can recall, Bjork has always discussed this struggle she’s had between her classical training and her, how shall we say, “poppish” instincts. For a long time she managed to strike that divine sonic balance that was irresistibly gorgeous, both immediately accessible and intellectually stimulating, even challenging. But here, it’s almost as if she’s contrived some children’s instructional tool for the indoctrination of evolution, and, apparently due to the excessive distractions that such an ambitious project would produce, she’s forgotten how to evoke the truly RAW emotions she so easily summoned before. There’s this unshakable element of contrivance that makes her voice distant rather than intimate, and that’s a difficult thing to swallow from Bjork. In other words, it appears that in her later years, her instincts have been eroded by her classical training, defacing that “Bjorkian” quality. I sincerely hope that the rest of Biophilia will prove me terribly mistaken.

    I don’t think any of my fellow commentors actually put someearphones on and actually listen to the tune:
    #1: Klinghoffer’s guitar is quite original on this track. I would go as far to say “psychadelic George Harrison”
    #2: Yes the harmonies are missing on the track. But don’t you think Keidis (the narcassist that he is) would feature his vocals more now with John gone. Just makes sense to me, albeit selfish.
    #3: the percussion is bang on, I dare you to argue that point.
    #4: Not every Chili Peppers song can have Flea bleeding his fingers out thumping on a bass solo. Yes it’s a relaxed walk. Give the guy a break will yea.

    I agree with the reviewer. Common, Bruno Mars? I respect the guy though I couldn’t care shitless about his music. He has no place on a Bad Meets Evil album. Frankly, I’m surprised that they were even able to work together at all. Kinda the same way i was when i heard Eminem with Rihanna.
    The rhymes were tight, but not all the songs were great, near the standard set by Fast Lane. Listen to Royce’s Rock City, or Street Hop, you’ll see that he was just tagging along with Eminem inspired antics on this album. Probably was Eminem’s idea to get Bruno Mars on…
    I wanted something completely hood with very few concessions.
    In the end good album, not great as it should be.

    I think he means their good, but could be producing more positive uplifting music. I might be wrong, but the quote I cited came off that way. Odd future is more of a phenomenon than anything else. One Jimmy Fallon performance, and everybody loves them….you have to admit they have talent, but the angst comes from age and lack of maturity. Plus, their lyrical skills aren’t that great when put up against Rappers like immortal technique, pharaoh monche, etc…So in fairness to Adam, he respects them but they could be so much more

    Long, long, long-time 311 fan.  I like this album. Would argue that “Trouble” is the best song on there (right now, at least!).  I think U.P. is a good mix of some old and new vibes.  Nowadays, I like when they sing and harmonize more than the rapping.  Granted, it’s part of their sound, and I hope they never totally abandon it.  But Hexum’s got a great ear for melody. You hear it all over this album.  Pumped for the show. Peace.

    Great review, I agree with practically all of it. They did prove they still have it in them to make an album like this, and it was refreshing to hear, since it’s leaps and bounds more impressive than Uplifter and especially DTOM. Nice work!

    It seems like every time I see a comment by you, it’s a negative one.  Why don’t you stop reading the COS blog is you have such a problem with the writers.  You’re just beng a cynical asshole all the time.

  • /users/?user=vargo05 vargo05

    Hey Dan, that seems like a pretty negative comment from you.  I make plenty of positive comments, when they are warranted.  However, when I read a music blog I expect the person writing it to know what they’re talking about.  I guess it would be OK if the people on CBS or NBC or Fox to say that Ghadafi is the leader of China.  Right?  I know this “just music”, but I expect the people who are reporting news, giving reviews, etc. to be knowledgable enough to report it accurately.  If they can’t do that, they shouldn’t be reporting it.  So, if me expecting somebody to do their job the right way is me being a cynical asshole, then so be it.

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    I agree with you to an extent, but every media outlet makes mistakes.  Yes, news reporters (especially Fox News) exaagerate the truth or tell lies all the time.  They make up ideas just to make their points more effective or cut out parts of interviews that make them look bad or wrong.  There are websites dedicated to this type of thing, such as factcheck.org.  There are thousands of bands out there, and this is just a blog.  It wasn’t published in Rolling Stone or another large publication.  No offense to the COS guys because I read it every day, but COS is a blog (a well constructed one), but still a blog.  Comparing this info to CBS News is absurd.  If they spent the time required to research every single band they cover and find out every little detail, there would be no time to write anything.  The reason I love COS is that they are on top of everything, almost as soon as it happens.  I would rather have someone deliver my news 99% correct the same day than 100% correct days later.  All I’m saying is, it was such a small detail that really didn’t affect the story at all, so saying something in the comments section is unnecessary.  That’s all.

    Our fest scene down here is lacking you don’t like Jam bands and EDM ( though I do like EDM) It will be nice to get a proper rock festival in the state.

  • /users/?user=festmaniac Festmaniac

    I would say that bringing euroacts would fill the expectations of most of us….let’s dream with Radiohead, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Pulp, PJ Harvey, Muse, The Chemical Brothers and some american acts as RHCP, Beastie Boys, Beirut and the Strokes, Is this too much for Festival Republic???

  • /users/?user=nardo-marques Nardo Marques

    The Chilli Peppers have no shows in Nov.  A one-off amidst vacation time doesn’t seem too far fetched.  Foo Fighters appeared likely, but increasingly seem too good to be true.  We’ll see.  Definitely curious to as to whether any big hip-hop names will appear.  Kanye or Eminem would awesome!  If Radiohead were somehow snagged amongst a yet-to-be-announced fall tour that’d be pretty nice too.  Other hopefuls of mine include The Roots, The Strokes, & Mastodon.  Should be interesting to see hot it all gets rolled out tomorrow.

    For some people it takes a few listens to settle in.  For myself, the more I listen, the more addicticted I become (esp Squishy Glass).

    Gummy Fetus was released on June 25th, but only in very rare quantity in Kansas (http://psychexfutureheart.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/kansas).

    This past Sunday night, Wayne Coyne dropped off more to OKC’s Guestroom…. and thus the streams above, which I posted on Monday at http://www.youtube.com/user/psychexfutureheart.  More Fetuses will become available in the month(s) ahead.

    Next up is Lightning Bolt vinyl 12″ (plus companion music video for one of its songs,  “I Wanna Get High But I Don’t Want Brain Damage”), which will most likely be out within next week or so!

    I don’t think every band that is playing Deluna and Langeado is automatically not playing Orlando Calling, especially those with no shows booked in Orlando 

  • /users/?user=garamondo-hennepin Garamondo Hennepin

    you raise a thoughtful point with Against Me! (seem likely) and Florida: state’s demographics certainly like alternative, Warped punk, mall emo, and MTV hip hop (which I considered with prediction, widest appeal — 215k+ students at 6 biggest universities, after all).

    Really wondering if F.R. is going local/regional or “destination” (a la Coachella, Bonnaroo, etc)… hopefully the latter, which entails diverse acts in terms of indie and UK-/Euro-based acts, as Festmaniac said; likewise, remedying the “they always skip Florida!” problem, much like Hang Out, DeLuna, and Langerado.

  • /users/?user=garamondo-hennepin Garamondo Hennepin

    well, even if we’re right about 50%+, lineup should be worth seeing. (and I’m shooting for 60% accuracy, although I won’t be surprised if top ten are 2/3 different and totally unexpected.)  good call on Mumford and Sons; kinda forgot about them and big demographic who likes Avett Bros, likewise Drive-By Truckers & Hold Steady crowds.

  • /users/?user=travis Travis

    What if they grabbed a Jay-Z/Kanye show? Playing together, I mean. That’d be a nice grab. I really hope they do grab someone special, instead of the same bands that play every festival. Jay-Z/Kanye would be great, Pulp’s first US show this year would be awesome, maybe get Radiohead over here. I want some variety, I want this one to raise the bar so other festivals actually start grabbing some rare acts instead of grabbing the same old “safe” acts (Who won’t be safe for very long, when it gets to the point where we’ve seen them too many times)

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    My problem with CoS’ penchant for inaccurate reporting, details, and in some cases total bullshit is that it leaves me skeptical about every reprt that follows. Especially their festival coverage. It’s unfair to paint each contributor with this brush, but clearly the accounatbility on what’s written is non-existent. A perfect example would be the Flaming Lips review from this year’s Sasquatch. What took place was something entirely worth writting home about. One of the biggest draws of the fest (the entire Soft Bulletin) was not completed! Never mind the “and more” part. There were nonsense rants, a major cake interuption, breakdowns… it was a mess. Or was it? The whole thing was also pretty surreal and singular. I loved the set and thought there was plenty to enjoy, cringe and laugh at in a weird satisfying way. I was downright excited to hear a credible music site’s take on the interesting affair (good or bad). What I got was just laughable. I am 100% confident the repoter didn’t see the whole set (no mention of any of the above, the only talk about Soft Bulletin is that they were playing it in its entirety??). So why write it like they did? Just say “I went to Yeasayer before they ended”, instead of looking like a clueless dummy who can’t spot the glarring abnormalties. What a wasted oppertunity, because it would have taken some guts and smarts to defend all the bonker let downs that only ended in the most perfect of let downs or just plain old personality to declare it unacceptable (ie. A VERY INTERESTING READ). But no, instead we get “Dudes the Flaming Lips brought all their festy tricks, Wayne yammered, but all in all a solid set”. Boooooooooooo! This is just one example.

    Stefan-

    The problem is that IMO I think most of these writers are guerrilla/freelance style reporters that go typically based on regions to certain fests. Some might get paid, but Alex and co. Usually only have 1 maybe 2 ppl at fests. Look at the set times. It’s obvious they don’t see all the bands in full bc they are working and have to try to get a word in of how it generally was from their perspective, whilst attempting to coherently appeal to a greater audience. The only timed that it seems sets are complete is when it’s a band in a venue. There’s just too much going on at a fest. I bet most of them (save the hyped up acts) see about 15-30 minutes of a set and go on. Your right, but it’s unrealistic to think that a couple ppl can attempt to cover a couple days of music without generalizing details. Too much to see/do

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    Yeah, that makes sense because that’s what Incubus writes about, teen angst, puberty.  What the fuck are you talking about?  We’re not talking about Good Chalotte or Simple Plan.  None of Incubus’s lyrics have anything to do with being a teenager.  So just because you grew up, you can’t listen to the same music as when you were young?  If anything, it should make it better for you because it reminds you of childhood.  Do I think Blink 182 writes stellar music? No. Do their albums still put a smile on my face?  Absolutely.  If you can’t find enjoyment in that, then once again, I feel bad for you.  In no way am I comparing these two bands, it’s just an example.  If Incubus put out any of those albums today, I would still think they were great albums. So what does a non-12 year-old listen to these days?

    I am surprised by a few of these too.  I really don’t know why everyone is so amped on the new Foo Fighters.  To me, it sounds like an album full of identical songs.  I listened to it twice through and was already bored with it.  I sort of see @6dda87056f989641b63f5e3a58d889c7:disqus point.  Suck it and See is a terrible album in comparison to their last three albums.  It’s generic and boring, similar to Wasting Light.  How can an album that’s worse than all three of the other albums be on a best of 2011 list.  I will disagree with most people’s thoughts on Angles though.  Yeah, it wasn’t nearly as good as their other three albums, but it was still a decent album, better than Suck It and See, and better than so much of the bullshit that’s on the radio these days.  The problem with these lists are that people just pick their favorite bands.  It’s very much like voting for an all-star team.  Alot of fans, like myself, will vote based on who they believe should be on the team, where as alot of people will fill the whole card with Cubs or Yankees players.  It’s the reason why people like Derek Jeter get voted to the all-star team every year, even during shitty seasons.  Anyways, I’m going on a tangent.  The point is, Wasting Light, King of Limbs, Suck It and See, Nine Types of Light were not great albums and should not be on this list, but they are because of the name in front of the album title.  Yuck, Fleet Foxes, Shabazz Palaces, and some others on the list actually did put out great albums.

    Many people relocate to Texas and purchase Texas farm land and ranch land for sale because of how the state of Texas is designed. There are many pieces of land available that are located “out in the country”. These land lots are away from the big city. They offer the residents a nice tranquil place that is surrounded by beautiful nature to live and raise a family. However, these land lots are only a short drive from the big Texas cities such as Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.

    Going along with Fuckcoren, Maynard also does this in the cities that have previously caused havoc to him or the band/security in the past.  IE. throwing shit at the band while playing. 

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    Honestly, I’m pretty sure the reason he did it at the show I’m thinking of was because the crowd just hated Tomahawk, and he didn’t take too kindly to it.

    But I have trouble reconciling that it’s both a punishment and it’s some deep performance technique.  I think he’s just buying too hard into the mythos of Maynard.

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    All you’ve done is come up with a great big glorified reason to justify it when Maynard is having an off night or just doesn’t feel like doing anything.  There are shows where he’s just stood around the whole time and shows where he’s been high energy.  That doesn’t sound like he’s using some advanced performance technique, it sounds like he just doesn’t feel like it.  I’ve been to a lot of Tool and APC shows, and you can tell when he’s not into it.

    Oh, and fuck you too.

    The idea of this band and their REASON for doing this is admirable personally. They don’t take the whole thing too seriously-they just want to have FUN and play when they can. They are all committed to their own ‘day jobs’ and they are just like friends who love a certain genre-power pop- and want to have fun performing that style. Iha described that they/their music are “not deep” and they are non-ironic. They just want simple lyrics, loud guitars and just fun.

    Nathan, I understand your concern. However, there have been plenty of voting systems that have used this style of polling. Take MTV’s VMAs, for example. This has nothing to do with “more clicks and views for ads”, as you put it. If anything, it’s to generate buzz about a show we would like to see continue. Tell your friends, generate buzz about your own submitted band name, and see what happens. In the future, we’ll discuss different ideas for polling, but we didn’t want to restrict it to one vote per person.

    I agree that Congress is a dump, no doubt, but it actually makes sense if you really think about it.  The Congress is mostly floor, and is one of the bigger, small venues in the city, which means it is very condusive to dancing.  I notice alot of electronic/pop acts play there.  Metro, Lincoln Hall, Schubas, Empty Bottle, Bottom Lounge, Double Door etc are all too small for them.  The Riv has the split levels, not good for dancing.  The Vic and Chicago theater are a little more seat oriented, also not good for dancing.  Theyre not going to play Allstate, UIC Pavilion, or Allstate cause that would be lame.  The only other venue that might work is the Aragon, but its smaller than Congress.  So, like I said, I agree the Congress is shitty, especially in the summer when its fucking 140 degrees in there, but when you break it down, it really does make sense.  I’m sure this is the reason all of the acts like Pretty Lights, Skrillex, Deadmau5 etc. etc. all play Congress.

    Worst list in the history of lists.  Did you throw darts at your CD rack?  Death Magnetic, really?  The Slayer, Mastodon & Ministry records weren’t even close to those bands best work.  And to put two bands at one number rank is just a lame cop-out.  Call it  ”13 albums I like to play.”

  • /users/?user=dustin-smith Dustin Smith

    Yeah, that’s my toilet seat alright.

  • /users/?user= Anonymous

    I think your ranking is a little low.  So far for me this album is addictive.  Since I got it, I have listened to it exclusively and I also purchased, MMJ, Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, Thievery Corp and Cut Copy.  For me this is a top 5 album so far this year. 
    The beats are infectious, it is new wave and old school all at the same time.  I give it a 4.5.

    I’m a fan club member but I live in Chicago. FML. I caught them back at the Allstate Arena, and no matter how much you dislike their new stuff, they know how to put on a show and it was probably the best $100 I’ve ever spent on a show.

    I suspect Dolby said “Do you remember, Andrea?” as it would make no sense for him to ask her if she remembers someone called Andrea.

    Good review of the festival. While I don’t really agree with a couple of your set reviews (in particular the sound at Cults was pretty lackluster), I think you’re spot on with your criticisms of Seattle hip hip and americana. What worries me most is that I think a lot of the city thinks that we’re in some big renaissance of Seattle relevance music-wise. There are some really good things happening here in hip hop (shabazz and Theesatifaction) and Americana (Fleet Foxes) but the rest of the scene is full of cliche attempts at emulating the sound

    #1 – The Melvins’ output pre-2000 surpasses current waves by miles, though they’re definitely top notch.
    #2 – Team Sleep is not metal, and the band Sleep was defunct prior to 2000 (overdone posthumous release Dopesmoker notwithstanding).
    #3 – Where the fuck does Black Sabbath get included in this?

    This is his *personal favorites*, metal nerds. (Note: I am, or was, actually, a metal nerd.) 

    Calm down.

    The “My Top” portion of the headline there means personal preference. Now if he titled it “The Greatest” or whatever, feel free to take deeper issue.

    That said:

    No love for Shadows Fall’s “The War Within”? One of Dillinger Escape Plan’s brilliant releases, like the “Irony Is a Dead Scene” EP with Mike Patton?

    Certainly, if you can include Tool/Isis and as heavy you do on progressive metal here, surely you can include an entry for NEUROSIS, dude. I mean, come on. NEUROSIS. m/

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Death Magnetic and White Pony? Yikes. I’d substitute in Bison BC’s “Dark Ages” and if we’re counting the Deftones as Metal (we aren’t counting the Deftones as Metal, but for the sake of some ridiculous oversight and sillyness that we are counting the Deftones as Metal (oops!)) I would replace them with either Black Mountain’s Self Titled or “In the Future”.

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Yeah, but as much as including Pantera on a best of metal list feels right… Reinventing the Steel kinda sucked. I think “Death Rattle” is an apt song title for that album. RIP Dimebag. And try not to die Phil (and while your trying not to do dissapointing things, try not to be so racist either. K thanx.)

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

  • /users/?user=david-buchanan David Buchanan

    On personal preference, DEP never sat right with me, though I generally applaud anything Patton gets involved with otherwise (signing The The = genius). As for Shadows Fall, in my opinion, severely overrated.

    Thanks for the Neurosis, I’ve been meaning to dig them up again, and for Abasi, you’re very welcome.

  • /users/?user=david-buchanan David Buchanan

    The classification for Deftones was “nu-metal”, and I needed a representative that showed both its peaks and its evolution over time. Hence, their landmark LP.

    I’ve never heard of Bison BC, though — I need to check that out.

  • /users/?user=david-buchanan David Buchanan

    Seconded.

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    They’re a canadian band signed to Metal Blade. Amazing live show if you get the chance to see ‘em.

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Can’t we all just try to forget “nu-metal”? Not to compare Nu-Metal to world wide atrocities, but I’d like to compare Nu-Metal to  world wide atrocities, especially those that are definitely more than a little taboo to mention in any positive manner in our society. Can we add Nu-metal to that list.
     
    I don’t know if I’d personally classify Deftones as Nu-Metal. They did come out ’round that Korn and Bizkit frenzy, but I think they were a little more fluid and scuzzy and a little less start-n’-stoppy and rappy then what I see as Nu-Metal.
     
    Oh nu-metal, you terrible devil you!

  • /users/?user=david-buchanan David Buchanan

    In my opinion, their so-called “low point” was the point where they drove the sudden taste for anti-government Bush-bashing into the ground.

    This is why KMFDM will always trump them on that front — a piece here and there, swathed in phenomenal industrial work. WWIII, for the win. There are bands whose sole purpose IS political rage (i.e., RATM), but that’s their front, and they make it work to their advantage from square one.

    “AnnA” is a landmark for reasons outside the typical scope, but I do agree Houses Of The Mole had a certain…something.

  • /users/?user=david-buchanan David Buchanan

    As much as KoRn has let me down the past few years, I can’t deny their point of origin, because I lived it. Besides, I’ve seen worse things come from the spawning of post-grunge or Top 40 modern rock lately, and even I have to acknowledge that garbage.

  • /users/?user=vargo05 vargo05

    I’ve never been able to lump Deftones in with Korn or Bizkit.  There’s way more authenticity to what they’ve done, actual singing, very little “rappy-vocals”, true musicianship, etc.  And just the ultimate proof of them not being “nu-metal”, they’re still around.  They haven’t changed that much from White Pony and they’re still going strong.  Same can’t be said for Korn, Bizkit, and Linkin Park.  Just because Chino and the others in the band have confessed their love of hip-hop and the influence it’s had on them, doesn’t make them “nu-metal”.

  • /users/?user=guitar-lessons guitar lessons

    The guitar is a wonderful instrument. It covers a wide genre of music; from rock, blues, jazz, classical, etc. It is also relatively easy to learn to play. But as with any other skill, it requires a lot of patience and practice to work. The first thing one should do when taking beginner acoustic guitar lessons is to find out which hand he uses to play the guitar with. Most people assume that just because you are left or right handed, you will also play the guitar the same way. Since you use two hands, one for strumming and one for the fret board, it is important to know which hand is to be used for each purpose. The reason for this is a guitar’s strings are usually aligned with the thickest string on top, gradually thinning down as it reaches the bottom. With this setup, the left hand is used to tap the frets, and the right hand is used for strumming. If you feel that your left hand is much suited to handle the strumming, and that the right hand for tapping notes, then the strings need to be attached the opposite way; starting with the thinnest string on top, and the thickest one at the bottom. A very famous guitarist who plays the guitar this way is Jimi Hendrix.

    Personally, I was actually pissed off by the “Fuck Lou Reed” chants. Why? Band of Horses, at least at the time, performed almost every other month in Chicago. Lou Reed hardly hits the stage. Ever. So, it was slightly irritating hearing the several dozen drunks angrily toss bottles in the air and scream obscenities. But that’s just my opinion.

    I’m excited for both days I don’t know why some people think that this is such a downer. UK has Leeding and Reads festival, and of course the Glastonbury so it’s about time they come over here in the US with a killer festival. As with the line up, I think they signed on some incredible performers to put on an epic performance. For a while there I didn’t think such a great band as the Pixies would ever make a come back, not only are they doing a tour but I think its awesome that they decided to play at the Orlando Calling. Bob Seger too, this is his first show in decades. Then the Killers as well, lately I haven’t heard anything about them going on tour, so this is pretty awesome that they are playing this festival too. If you don’t listen to any of the music from these bands that’s fine, but appreciate the fact that a lot of these bands are coming back and playing on stage, something that a lot of these bands haven’t done in a long time.
    If you were anticipating the Beatles to rise from the grave and reunite on the stage I can understand your disappointment. They could have gone with bands like Muse or Radiohead, but I think they were going for an all American festival with an
    all American band list. Who knows maybe they will change it up in a
    couple of years but I think with this being their first time throwing a
    festival in America, they did an amazing job.

    Dude, you are aware he is talking about MTV? It ain’t politiks, gods, or monies talk. I think we can all officially relax on this one and its art or something (?). Besides, the guy’s bothered to educate himself on gender studies, which for me makes him have a much more rounded opinion than most men in the world. I’ll bet anything he was largely referring to the sexual exploitation and pigeon holding of women that is propegated on the network. I don’t think quoting Ani was a coincidence.

    It ain’t politiks?

    Did you read the quote at all? 

    And although MTV has certainly been guilty of many gross faults (and continues to be), when taken as a whole (like say, um, for a 30th birthday), any musician who doesn’t see the relevance the network has played in music, at one point or another (I’m referring toward Justin here), is asinine, laughable, and clearly directed toward those as uneducated about the matter as the speaker is willing to portray him(/her)self as being.

    This critique is not nearly so directed at Ani as her lyrics are speaking of those entities and their MO’s during a specific time-frame… although I must confess, as a performer/singer, I am not particularly a fan of hers either.  Her message is good, her delivery… eh not my cup of tea.  That’s only my opinion of course, as she has several fans.

    She IS one hell of a businesswoman on the other hand.

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    You are right about what MTV has done for music. I just don’t see the quote as being a slight against the network’s relevance. He doesn’t make the usual comment of “no music videos anymore, fart, poop, uhg…”, again I feel he is coming from a place of personal values regarding the socilogical implications of the content. Now I have no idea what type of deal (if any) he may have with MTV and his buisness, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with expressing his discontent over this. Slightly hypocritical? Sure, but unfortunately sexism is not as black and white for most people to understand and it is completely rampent in the entertainment industry and probably impossible for almost any artist to avoid when engaging in the money side of things. What is so wrong with criticizing things we know (as you admitted in your comment) are wrong. If I’m at work and I feel their is a policy that discriminates against someone, does it make more sense for me to quit or to express my concerns?

    I’ll admit the comment is more confrontational than solution focused, but it is unfortunately what is needed to get any attention in today’s media. If all it gets is negative attention, then it probably fails in its attempt. So there’s always that fine line.

    Sorry, but after listening to “Smokering for My Halo” repeatedly for about 2 months in the car (it is my PERFECT drivin’ around in the sunshine album now) I was disappointed at the overly-muscular renditions at The Troubadour last Thursday night. It felt like Kurt and crew are unwilling to acknowledge the strongest quality of the album: it’s restraint. There’s a low-key, maybe call it ‘slacker’ tone, along with Kurt’s nicely balanced drone, that gives the whole album this really nice sustain. It seemed to me, as an artist, Kurt Vile was unwilling to appear ‘sensitive’ onstage. His band-mates were clearly amped, focused, and bringin’ it, which i appreciated and respected, but i drove away disappointed. I had hoped for a more thoughtful performance of evolving explorations of the songs. Songs i’ve come to love, and still dig. If you read this Kurt, please look past the ‘negativity’ i’m reporting, and consider giving your live versions some quieter passages, featuring your voice and lyrics a bit more, and THEN let the volume of the (cool) beats and riffs rip in and out, i think that would kill.

    Regardless of how often Lou Reed plays, his set was one of the worst sets I have heard at Lolla.  I know he’s a “legend”, but that doesn’t entitle him to playing 20 minutes over his set time because he felt like running feedback and other useless noise thru the speakers.  Plus it doesn’t really matter than BoH played every other month, as you claim.  People were there to see them and there were more than several dozen who stood there quietly, but still irritated, while the band they came to see was being delayed by someone who’s ego is clearly more important than putting on a quality show. BoH put on a great show that night that made Lou Reed’s performance look amateurish.

  • /users/?user=garamondo-hennepin Garamondo Hennepin

    decent review, appreciate attempt at thoroughness.
    yet, for all the talk of the support musicians, no mention of glaring absence: pedal steel (see Bright Eyes, live 2002-05).
    Also, your surprise over the arrangements and delivery really detract, articulating only what audience witnessed versus expectations — rather than discussing further band’s actual performance. More reviewers need to consider this and avoid shortcoming (i.e. superfluous words that serve needlessly to contextualize, endlessly — like Pitchfork album reviews).
    Think, for example, whether it would add anything for me to have accounted for the “heaps of auxiliary instrumentation and texture” by means of referencing Justin Vernon’s playing with and learning from the Dessner brothers (of The National), a specific touchstone being the “Dark Was the Night” concert (New York, 2009).

    Jesus, I’d rather take a bullet to the face than meet this person, the reader who reviews reviews. Drew – I’m only guessing, but I think Garamondo is giving you a 5.3/10 for this review, though if he were to judge the review on its literary merits alone, and ignore your the attempt at thoroughness, you’d be hard pressed to break a 4.7. Maybe try harder next time, complete with references to artists who leveraged instruments you wish had been used here, complete with time ranges. For example – one glaring absence here was a gravity harp(Bjork, 2011-present), which could have really provided a breath taking counterpart to the baritone sax solo during Michicant. Further more, the lack of kazoo(Gallager 1978-1991) on Towers really prevented the tune from reaching its potential.

     not a rebuttal — unnecessary, given you missed/misunderstood 2/3 of my points — but contrast this review with Drew’s prior one: “Live Review: Moonface at D.C.’s The Black Cat Backstage (7/21)” http://ur.ly/Vjcs
    Significantly better, especially by avoiding the shortcoming that I identified — which is specific to the written review and not against standards for work by Senior Staff Writer, for instance. (only knew this later, but hopefully you see what I mean, Drew and RainDog.)

    I’ll just add that the Truckers aren’t Southern Rock. While they most definitely include southern issues, towns, chracters and family in their songs they more so resemble what the Stones were doing between ’68-’72. Southern Rock tends to be pretty limited in its scope and dynamics. Usually it can be defined as a soul song infused with rock, or a country song infused with rock, or a mix of any of those variables. Not that the voices of Southern Rock weren’t distinctive, I mean the Allman Brothers sound like the Allman Brothers and Little Feet sounds like Little Feet, but really when you step far back it is pretty clear it’s just a different band’s take on the same style. Technically it can be pretty impressive and is most always hugged in some sweet groove, but musically I don’t think it is as impressive as what the Truckers are doing. Like the Stones they have that rare band intuition that should have the trappings of groove and southern rock (traditional song style, loose chording, guitar interplay, piano/organ fills, ect…), but they are able to reign it in to a concise song structure. Bands with this ability are rare (especially these days) and are the reason I love the Truckers so much. Together as a unit they bring something very unique to the table that enhances each song. The result transends the “mash up” idea of country infused rock, soul or whatever and just like the Stones it becomes more a country (soul or rock) structured song with that intangible and singular Truckers approach. A group like this only comes around every so often, I can’t name one band in the last 10 years that can even stand next to the Truckers in this regard, and I think the collection deserves at least a 4 or 4 1/2

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    My beef with these “Lemme Get An Encore” pieces is that they don’t ever admit that this stuff isn’t anything more than Nostalgiac. They become about hyping the current incarnation of the band rather than maybe giving the readers who loved or hated the band some interesting writing and stories surrounding the music many of us grew up with (for better or for worse). Instead it’s always, “Out Come The Fanboys!”. Or hell. just be fanboys and do away with hiding behind the Nostalgia Factor, cause clearly this piece reads more like this dude is excited to hear these tunes not out of nostalgia, but because he still LOVES ‘EM!

    Seriously, to throw around the statement “the band everyone loved or hated” in 2011(!) is absurd. It completely implies these guys had musical meritt that some of us just weren’t “getting”. You were either hip to the immature jig and knew about good music or you were an ignorant 12 year old who liked all the dick talk and catchy fast stuff. Ain’t no shame in admitting you were oblivious to music (besides the top 40) in your younger years.

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    I don’t remember ever mentioning anything about them being super talented.  They really aren’t, I agree with you (besides maybe Travis), but it’s fun music.  I don’t listen to any top 40 music for the most part nowadays.  I’m not sure when you grew up, but when Blink was around in my childhood, there was barely internet, certainly not advanced enough to be finding and downloading music.  I was recording songs off the radio to VHS tapes, and my first CD didn’t come around until 6th or 7th grade.  How was someone back then supposed to be introduced to anything besides top 40.  Unless you had some nerdy friend who spent his whole childhood looking for new music and sharing it with you (or if you were that nerdy kid), then top 40 was pretty much all you heard.  Well, I shouldnt say top 40, but whatever the local alternative station played. Like I said, I don’t look back and think, man were these guys talented, but even to this day, it puts a smile on my face every time one of their older songs comes on the radio or at a party.  Just because you grow up and your tastes become more matured and eclectic doesn’t meant you have to abandon your childhood. 

  • /users/?user=michael-roffman Michael Roffman

    I don’t really get your argument at all. The point of this piece is to discuss deep cuts they haven’t placed in set lists in awhile, or if ever. That’s been the case for each Encore series.

    The tag on the main page says “Nostalgic tracks for Nostalgia’s sake”. And I know what the “point” of these pieces are. Don’t blame me for thinking that, “hey this might be a fun read, as I am 28 years old and grew up with this horrible music, but non the less hung out with some very fine people who liked this horrible music and we all had some pretty great times despite the horrible music being blasted from pick up trucks in the background. This could be fun and a fine bonding session with the internet”. This guy says we will discuss the tracks for Nostalgia’s Sake (what a great sake!). Except he is deciding to discuss the tracks becuase of Blink-182′s Still Got It’s sake (a very bad sake). At the very least let us just be honest with one another (the internet and the audience) about whose sake is being discussed and not pretend that we are going down memory lane when really we (this Ted guy) are talking about a band that came out 15 years ago and has apparently remained musically relevant and “good” and should play some deeper cuts at their concert. Tell me why they should Ted! Tell me why for the sake of nostalgia they should do so (I mean you kinda promised me this on the Main page (Home page?). He just talks about the how awesome the songs are without any (or supremely minimal) historical, cultural, and personal context.

    Please reconsider my argument. Thanks!

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Dan it sounds like you get how a “Lemme Get An Encore” piece works better than the staff get how it should work. I don’t like these guys (Blink), but “hell yeah!” to recording music onto VHS (VHS!). Sounds like you know how nostalgia works. I am being serious in saying that despite our musical differences, I completely enjoyed your comment and feel it is infinitely better than everything the guy wrote in a gazillion pages above. I have some bands in my past that I am very okay with saying “I do not like that type of thing at all now”, but because it makes me remember recording music with my VHS player, I will give it props for nostalgia’s sake and I will even listen to it still to this day, not because I don’t know what good music is, but because of the memories (which I should be entertainingly and engagingly telling you if I am a staff writer for “Lemme Get An Encore”.)

    Thanks Dan! 

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Word! It’s so hard to believe that Hank died at 29! I mean can you imagine a 22 year old these days coming up with this type or earnest music. “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” is one of the most poeticly simple and genuine tunes to ever exist.

  • /users/?user=michael-roffman Michael Roffman

    Not so much reconsidering your “argument” or whatever you want to call it, but I do feel you’re thinking too much into this. You’re taking his tagline at the front and parading around an idea that just isn’t there. As I stated, “The point of this piece is to discuss deep cuts they haven’t placed in set lists in awhile, or if ever.” But, if you want to get hung up on the tagline, I don’t know what to tell you. The band is steeped in nostalgia because they are returning after a long hiatus, so naturally nostalgia plays into this. However, the core idea is to discuss tracks that we want to hear again. If you don’t want to read the piece, you really don’t have to, Stefan.

    Thanks!

  • /users/?user=michael-roffman Michael Roffman

    Also, Blink-182 “steeped in nostalgia”? Very steeped, 15 years steeped! Practically an institution, I’m sure.

Maybe I’ll even read your next Yellow Card or Good Charlotte review with all intents of commenting only to find out I love them. Probably.

    Why does everyone make irrelevant cynical comments that hold no importance to the actual headline. The tag works to get your attention on other stories. How much the band actually made is insignificant they chose that route and are already millionaires. So the fact that they are pushing a package like this adds to the even more ridiculous over the top nature that they go for. Don’t feel sorry for any band that chooses to tour a certain way. They knew what it would be going into it. And that guy writing the article is the reason this site exists so I think he can write how he wants.

    Wow. I just listened to this last night and thought it was fantastic! Being a Robert Pollard fan has been a little frustrating over the last 5 years or so, but damn is he delivering in 2011. A Guided By Voices tour and now a new set of songs that are beyond any of my wildest expectations. In terms of a listening experience I’d give the album a solid 4 1/2, there is no way any fan of guitar/band music won’t find this to be anything but an incredibly engaing listen. What’s strange is that the whole experience almost felt like getting involved in an unexpectedly great movie, you know the kind where the story seems like it will be boring but the writing is just amazing and all of a sudden it has you glued to the plot line and eagerly awaiting the next scene. I’m not sure what I’d rate the album in a month or two from now, but I’d urge anyone to give it a listen. You’ll have fun, ‘swear it!

It was enough to take your attention off of the fact that they sucked. Also, Godsmack had to do little 10 second covers of Metallica songs, AC/DC songs and Black Sabbath songs just to kind of legitimize their performance. So trust me, you didn’t really miss out on anything, man. But Megadeth was the best band on the main stage. Evidently, they were asked to headline over the other bands but declined for some reason.

    “PBS special.” You put it perfectly! Totally agree. To be honest, however, the song has grown on me a little in the past few weeks, but it still doesn’t feel as heartfelt as songs like “Joga”, or “Unravel”, or “Pagan Poetry”. The biggest change is that Bjork doesn’t use those awesomely-unintelligible vocal runs. Those impulsive vocal qualities truly emote, and in this song, they’re missing.

    nothing new here. she really should hang it up. she sounded quite original a long time ago with the help of other people who were much more talented than her. bjork and madonna are very similar in a lot of ways, but especially in how much they care about their own image, and the extent of other people making most of their music and visuals for them. there are lesser known artists doing much more original work right now. but i guess the bjorks and madonnas of the world have had a purpose in introducing and popularizing certain sounds to an audience that otherwise would be indifferent.

    Saying ‘i hate chillwave’ and then going on to praise an album that defines the concept is a bit
    contemptable. if toro y moi and washed-out have only ‘moderate success’ – what would constitute
    real success? apparently it’s all about money for you and the artistic successes of artists who don’t make it on the radio or concert circuit mean nothing. Chillwave is the new paradigm; get on board or be left in the dust with kanye west.

  • /users/?user=i3yams I<3yams

    you don’t know what you are talking about, dude. bjork’s vocals, courage, and persona are talents in themselves, don’t you think? And I think saying that she depends on the help of others “much more talented than her” is a baseless statement. As for lesser known artists being more creative right now, I’d say that’s hard to judge. Although Bjork’s new music doesn’t affect me the way Debut and Medulla did, I still haven’t heard anything like it before. It’s 100% Bjork. I just think she’s put herself in a position where she has to wow her listeners with something cray-cray with each release, but as her career is now around 2 decades long, I think it’s become less and less probable for her to reach new heights. If some other female artist released a single like this, I think people would give her a lot more credit for it. It’s just that this single’s from Bjork. She’s getting old, dude. But she’s still Bjork, and more power to her to have created such big expectations from her audience!  I look forward to hearing the rest of the album.

    If these reviews are the only acts you guys caught, you missed out on a lot. Deftones were absolutely one of the weekend’s best acts, which included Chino being in the crowd for half the set and a kid who couldn’t be more than 7-8 years old crowd surfing. You also haven’t covered Kid Cudi’s set, which, while absolutely mesmerizing, was cut off before his last song causing him to start destroying shit on stage admist chants from fans at Perry’s. Atmosphere played probably the best set they’ve ever done at any festival outside of their home state, the entire crowd knew the words and was on Slug’s every word. Daedelus was also crazy good, without a doubt a huge hit at Perry’s for fans and non fans alike. Smith Westerns went off without a hitch on friday. Fitz and the Tantrums were great. No wonder a lot of the reviews here are negative, cause you guys missed out on a lot of good acts.

    why is everyone so fixed on how much money an artist makes, unless you’re a young artist set on achieving the same monetary goals? the person writing this and the comments below are fixated on numbers, hence the 1st sentence above. Do any of you hold U2 stocks? Would you be as fixated on numbers if we were talking about Bjork’s $800 + special edition collection? Really, the news here is about a reissue of a great album…a landmark album. If you’re a U2 fan you’ll probably be interested, and if you’re not perhaps a comment about the fact that you don’t like U2′s music or particularly this album…assuming you’ve heard it, would be more relevant. 

    personally, I’m a big fan of the band, and of this album in particular. what they achieved on this album was nearly unthinkable at the time, unexpected, and one of the most well conceived and dramatic changes musically and visually that any popular band in history has been able to pull off. 

    and, not to revert to discussions about monetary profits, but since when did it become wrong or cynical for an artist to make money on his/her own work? would it be better for the record companies to get all the profits? such discussions should really only be of concern to the artists and their business affiliates. it seems somewhat cynical for anyone else to make this their own concern. it’s about the music. if you don’t like the music, no one is forcing you to buy it.

    Rope lights are special type of illuminative lights which consist of a series of micro-bulbs of half watt to 2 watts, spaced about one inch apart inside a clear or colored flexible plastic cord. These micro bulbs inside the tube are maintenance-free and non-replaceable. The life span of these lights is about 25,000 hours. They come in long tubes that can be easily installed anywhere you want. They can be bent, cut or twisted.

    if you feel the need to want to sound so smart by hating continuously on Bjork…you need to look no further. apparently this is the “i’m so cool and sophisticated i listen to Yo Yo Ma!?!? and know so much about music it’s not even funny” kind of webpage. now…if we go beyond the “smart” ones, we find an artist who is connecting nature and technology…like it or not, she’s changing the face of music as we speak. to compare her to lady gaga and madonna is enormously vague and ridiculous, but to say her work post medulla is a joke?…i would LOVE to know what in the world they listen to. instead of hating, appreciate. if you can’t appreciate, don’t ruin it for others just because you feel you have the “right” to do so. it doesn’t make you original…it makes you quite ordinary.

    This looks solid, though I’d love to have seen this project fulfilled the way they probably intended. No knock on many of the lesser known producers on here, I’m sure Radiohead was thrilled to give them exposure, but a Flying Lotus(we know they asked), Burial, and Zomby remix would have sent this over the edge. I’m also surprised that so many people remixed Bloom & Magpie, and stayed away from Codex. I’ll listen all the same though.

    Muse is ONLY doing OOS at READING! Not anywhere else. If you want to see OOS go to Reading. I couldn’t go to Reading so I went to Lollapalooza and it was Muse’s best U.S. gig of all time. If you missed it, I feel bad for you. If you didn’t enjoy it, then seriously, stop being a Muse fan or get a time machine and go back to 2002′s Montreux Jazz Festival or 2004′s Glastonbury. Muse has changed. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be as great of a band as they are now. Would you rather hear OOS done again…and again…and again…or a band that can actually vary their sounds, genres, and influences. Personally, I go for the latter. Their gig at Lollapalooza was stunning. The crowd was incredible. I was stuck in a two hour mind-numbing mosh pit of pwoper musers who made Starlight almost seem like Dead Star from how heavy they were going at it. If you didn’t appreciate Guiding Light, you obviously weren’t in the crowd. Guiding Light was fantastic because it was a nice breather between Butterflies and CE and I’ve never been so happy to hear it in my entire life. The energy never diminished. Where were you? This gig was incredible and whoever wrote that review sounds like another sour elitest Muse fan. I’m getting really sick of you guys.

    imho music has to be listenable in all situations… music which is just made for dancefloor should aswell only be listenend on it… so where s the point in buying an album? I dont get it…

    It was a damn good show! I got chills during “New Slang” with the whole crowd crying out “Oooooo Ooo Ooooooo–” in  unison and James Mercer seemed very upbeat and fun (which, I imagine, is how almost all leads should be). I got to talk to him backstage about their next album and when I asked about it, he replied “We’ve really kinda been working on some stuff.” with a big smile on his face.

    I’d be fine with this album, except that they’re still using the label of “Sublime” to make money. It’s like a cheap ass knock-off of the band I used to love. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent album, but nothing here is anything like what made Sublime great (except Panic; excellent song right there). If SWR is truly “its own creature”, they should really drop any pretense of being “Sublime”, and stop playing Bradley’s songs live. Sublime was an extremely important and influential ska/punk/reggae band. Sublime with Rome is just a pop band that’s decided to dress rasta. They might as well be playing “I’m Yours”.

    Could it be that he was trying to sound like Scott Walker (the singer not the WI governor)  but end up sounding like Ian Curtis?  Glad he rid of that  vocal style which, tbh, sounds like Count Dracula going through puberty instead of Curtis (or Walker). 

    I read the P4k review earlier. I don’t know what made Freaks 0.3 higher than Separations, my favorite early Pulp album (not really). While I find some of Pulp’s earlier stuff to be delightfully terrible, I don’t know if I’m going to agree with P4k’s review because it was hilariously pretentious, I swear if the reviewer was given extra space, he would have cited Magnus Doyle and Peter Mansell as the most vital Pulp members.

    A bit off topic, but Pulp had 6,957 past members before Jarvis assembled the Different Class line-up yet they still employed Leo Abrahams (Suede’s Brett Anderson’s producer and touring buddy). Wonder what happened to Richard Hawley?

    Brian Eno was a keyboard player in the British group Roxy Music in the 1970′s. Eno later created solo albums that redefined the emerging ‘ambient’ music genre – check out ‘Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks.’ He has collaborated with significant music artists including David Bowie - 
    check out albums ‘Low’ ‘Heroes’ and ‘Lodger’ where Eno’s sound is most evident. Even more so I highly recommend the album ‘My Life in the Bush of Ghosts’ with David Byrne (Talking Heads) and ‘Remain in Light’ by Talking Heads for which he was producer. Eno is most credited for his work as the producer of seven albums for the Irish group U2. 

    I rate Bjork as an equal to Brian Eno – she is an incredible innovator, with Biophillia being an incredible project. I am so inspired by her recent work, I have even booked a ticket to see her perform Biophillia at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykavik in Iceland in October 2011.

    If you research and read the comments about Bjork the person, the musician by all the collaborators in music and new media who have worked with her on the new Biophillia project, you will really understand that she has not run out of ideas, but merely innovating her own music universe – love it or leave it!

    I agree that perhaps they should have honored those shows but clearly the concert tour started on the Eastern U.S. and was scheduled to end at the Greek in L.A. Then the concert promoters added dates all the way back across the country ending on the East Coast. The problem came when the promoters once again began adding what seemed to be very tight dates in September going back across the continent a third time, including Western Canada and St. Louis. The latter show was added and the band decided to do the Monkee exit walk just a day or so following that announcement and just prior to those tickets going on sale. If they hadn’t added St. Louis and messed up the Albany booking, they might have been more likely to honor those final shows.

    thanks for your wikipedia reference, but a little more respect would be nice. bjork deserves some big points for innovation and incorporation of other genres into pop music…but to paint her as brian eno’s = is laughable. i’m scratching my head here, but if i had to try and make sense of your equation, the only area bjork excels is in her dramatic flair and showmanship in terms of perfoming…if you want a ‘show’. she is essentially a pop artist even though her music is much broader than that. i’m not bashing pop either. brian eno essentially formed his own musical genre to a large extent that nearly everyone has by now absorbed some of his influence and sounds in their music. he continues to lead the way by thinking both within and outside of the sound he creates. and, as far as who he has directly influenced, you pretty much only have to check out artists on the warp label, i.e. autechre to find how deep his influence runs. i think it’s a little too early to tell with bjork although perhaps the duo ‘the knife’ should give her a little credit.

    one thing that’s annoying about her is that she sells her brand of ‘high art’ so hard on her fans. what’s so evident is that there’s an enormous amount of time and money spent on her ‘look’ and her visual marketable appeal. it’s also funny how many of her fans will guard her and will either resort to a sports team mentality i.e. ‘Dude, you suck cause you don’t like bjork.’ or the mental superiority mentality i.e. ‘it’s unfortunate that you aren’t able to understand bjork’s music’. well, i don’t ‘suck’ and i do ‘understand’, but i also understand when something is being sold hard to me and when there’s more than a fair amount of gimmickry involved. and that’s what i can’t help but feel here. there is an air of pretense in her music and image that is a bit suffocating to me. there’s a lot of great music in the universe now that is not so self-important and doesn’t require an $800 tuning fork collection to relate to it.

    Unlike online lessons, live guitar lessons are in your face and allow you to communicate with your instructor. While online classes are convenient, studies have shown that many individuals will give up because lessons do not suit the student’s learning style. With live lessons, students can request an instructor who is willing to teach the student at a pace they can keep up with.

    That was kind of a harsh assessment of Nick Diamonds’ career.  He released two very good albums (Return to Sea and Vapours) as Islands, and one that I would consider exceptional (Arm’s Way).  Arm’s Way impressed me even more than the Unicorns (whom I also loved).

    Human Highway is also fantastic.  I just got this Mister Heavenly album, but I’m impressed so far.

    Nick’s voice and song-writing works well with other musicians, certainly.  (Alden w/ the Unicorns, Jim Guthrie w/ Human Highway, and now Honus.)

I think the bigger issue is that her earlier work seemed to have a much more natural inspiration.

    This is not the Incubus I know and like. What a bland and uninspired effort by this band. I’m completely disappointed. There is no rock in this album, it is all radio-friendly pop tunes and the crooning of Brandon Boyd. If you like the band because you think the singer is “hawt” you’re more likely to enjoy this album. If you enjoy Incubus’ music because they are creative, challenging, and have some talented musicians, you might want to just pretend this utterly disappointing and mediocre album never existed.

    Clearly you didn’t listen closely to the album, because your comment about Gorgeous Georgie (yeah, you spelled Gorgeous wrong and messed up the song title, Georgie) is likely based on NPR’s mislabeling of the final two tracks.  If you’d listened to the first lyric of what they’ve listed as  “Fall Away,” you would have heard the perfect opening couplet:  “GORGEOUS GEORGIE had is way with all the dames, they were staring at his end zone.”

    It was 6-13-2011 & it was the last night DMB played what was Giant Stadium in East Rutherford NJ.  It was the 3rd night of 3 shows there.  I had 2nd row seats. Closest I’ve ever been.  But what made this night so special was the way the show ended.  From a distance you saw the storm coming over the stadium over the stage.  Wind was picking up, Lightning in the distance.  You could smell the rain.  Then as show came close to an end.  The rain came down on us.  Soaked to the bone.  Winds blowing, lightning and thunder right above us.  But the show went on.  DMB kept playing.  We danced ourselves silly.  Everyone did & know one left it was a true DMB moment I’ll never forget.  The great thing about that night was that everyone around me, everyone I saw didn’t run from the storm they embrassed it and they made there one special moment that night like I did.  I heard stories after that night it was going down as one of DMB’s best shows ever.  That they were told to get off stage due to storm but didn’t and because of that never played the stadium again.  I’ve been to many DMB shows and I’ve been around since there beginning.  But this show is still the one that touches my heart that touches my soul because that night it was truly all about the music of The Dave Matthews Band.  That night the gods truly shined on us.

  • /users/?user=andy-morgan Andy Morgan

    I have to agree.  As a non-Chili Pepper fan, One Hot Minute definitely stands out as their best album.  It’s nearly listenable.  I’m not sure whether I am helping or hurting your case, Plastilina, but I can actually sit through this album, whereas, the rest of the RHCP catalog is bit too much for me, which is odd because as a non-fan, the thing I seem to have the greatest distaste for is Kiedis, not any of the guitar work, and yet there he is, all over One Hot Minute.

  • /users/?user=michael-roffman Michael Roffman

    I love “One Hot Minute”. Given the amount of hype behind the release, and the circumstances the band were in, it’s a grand slam from them. Frusciante was my favorite member of the band (thus far), but I can’t deny that songs like “Warped”, “Aeroplane”, “My Friends”, and “Coffee Shop” aren’t killer tracks. What’s more, it had this more, for lack of a better word, heavier edge that hadn’t been heard since “Mother’s Milk”. Glad it didn’t continue and Frusciante returned – especially to deliver us “By the Way”, personally my favorite effort of theirs – but this record’s always had a special place. 

    Plus, I don’t find the kids’ singing in “Aeroplane” to be jarring. Hell, listen to “Mother’s Milk”…the random sampling and change ups from track to track there should have hinted early on that, really, anything goes with this band. Perhaps that’s one reason why so many fans became tired of RHCP in recent years. Say what you will about the last three releases, but they hardly had any surprises like that. They sort of just found a groove and bathed in it. It definitely worked but that “old school” spontaneity has certainly subsided now – though, we’ll see at 3 p.m. ET today.

    Actually, our copy of the album was a direct download from Matador and that was the exact spelling of the final track.  While it may differ from album pressings, I thought it was best to go with what the label provided us. -Dan

    And that included the misspelling of “Gorgeous.”  I assumed it was intentional due to purposely misspelled past Pavement/Malkmus songs such as “Kris Kraft.”

You can’t unless you like lil wayne which is jus dumb cuz he cant even rap hes horrible but everybody i in love with him. Royce not only was good on the album he was great his shit was raw and is different then talkin about money and drugs.

    I don’t think they ever faked it. There music has always had a thread of slight genious to it. They found themselves on LL1&2. But come on, there precussion has always been top notch. Most indie bands today can’t even hold a candle to the drumming and delicate builds they manage to create. What they’re capable of doing with reverb and feedback is just plan short of epic. They’ve turned much of atmospheric rock into a science and I think that’s why they succeed still. I just wish they’d get a better label, heap more recognition and take some more risks with their soundscape. Everytime I hear an album I just imagine what they could do if they had the resources of a major labor without having to sacrifice they’re music vision. Great band.

    It’s great to see someone prominent in more of the “pop culture” music scene writing about – and appreciating – not only modern “serious” music (I always laugh at that term), but live performances of this genre.  As someone with a degree in “classical composition”, but also someone who is pursuing a career as a modern pop/rock musician and artist, it makes me feel a sort of kinship, as this situation is not typically advertised by most well-known figures in music currently (leading me to believe that it exists only in rare occasions).  I enjoyed your review very much.

    you are a fool, AssBanana,  Chris’s voice is beautiful…and yes it has changed from when he was a TEENAGER, obviously!!! He (unlike many singers in punk/rock/indie whatever) has found HIS voice that he can replicate live, instead of singing out of his range and belting in the studio.  That usually leads to a pretty shitty live performance….I love Jimmy Eat World, but Jim sings out of his range on the recordings, and it’s not the best live….Chris Conley is a genius…you are a dick.

    “The greatest block party ever thrown”????? Are you 12 years old? What is cool, unless you are 12 years old, about this video? Yes Chris, it’s very nice to see adults act like “true hooligans”, very nice and cool. I love how you continually try to play off your “2011 Blink 182″ gaganess under the guise of nostalgia. You are not being nostalgiac when you say “they still got it!”. Stop dragging nostaligia’s name through the immature dumb teeneage boy mud. Just say, “I love Blink 182 and we all at CoS believe in them, still!”.

    You guys are for realz excited about this shit, just fucking say it! Admit that you feel Blink 182 has a rightful spot amongst artists in 2011. Or just finally realize it’s time to have that heart to heart you’ve all been avoiding with Chris about his juvenile taste in music.

    The icing on the cake is his insightful “after all these years, the boys still know how to behave like true hooligans”. What on earth did you think Blink 182 was other than the most emotionally immature, slightly misogynistic, farts are funny, one dimensional band for always and forever? Yes, after all these years indeed… good grief you guys, get a hold of this quick!

    You even have the track list posted. For nostalgia’s sake too no doubt.

    I guess what bothers me about this so much is that there are around 50 bands better than Blink, and have always been head and shoulders above them, that are from the early-mid 90′s who are still active and putting out new stuff yet you chose Blink as the one to give some 2011 credit to? Why? Will you be covering Fall Out Boy in 3 years too? What’s going on, it looks like you’ve lost your collective music minds, or perhaps one music mind in particular needs to go.

    I could understand I short blurb like, High School Fart Brigade are still trying to be the last ones to leave the house party, even though they now own the house. Fans should love it. Boom done. Meanwhile we’d like you the reader to know that we would rather focus on music whose importance isn’t limited to its sole ability of allowing you to relive the memory of the time you were drunk with your fellow dudes and punching each other in the nuts.

    This article is really good. I have read several articles lately on the new RHCP album and was not enlightened on much. In fact they just focused on the same old shit, same questions the others asked, etc. What I liked about this article was the honesty without bashing them. I don’t think they have died down as artists and while I keep “studying” the album, ehh.. I really like it but could not figure out what was off. THIS ARTICLES HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD! Unfortunately, its Kiedis’ vocals. :(   Its true… everything mentioned. The instruments are wonderful..his vocals are bland and keep getting repetitive, Anyways..this article hits everything dead on. Hopefully, this new album will produce constructive criticism. While I am a huge Frusciante fan (can’t wait for a new solo by him) if he is not dead set on being with the Chilis then why hold him to it? Josh is incredible and I agree he is likely playing it safe. This album is a warm-up for them. The 3 other members wanted to keep going forth and who can blame them? They’re all amazing artists. Now we listeners/fans have a young and hardworking talented Josh to debut this new chapter for RHCP. I’m all for it. Good article!

  • /users/?user=david-buchanan David Buchanan

    Firstly, sound check must’ve been deafening because everything musically about Machine Head’s set was whizzes and bangs without any poetry to speak of. It sounded detached from a crowd that, while loyal, might have also been very heavily inebriated.

    Secondly, while I did actually credit the band’s status as iconic to a degree, I don’t particularly see how they’re better than LoG or Slayer or even Corrosion of Conformity; even Megadeth’s turn this year was piss poor, and they have a shit-ton of better albums with an albeit redundant theme at times.

    Maybe I’m more biased due to the fact that our “lost interview” with Machine Head back at Mayhem ’08 was intentionally discarded because all they wanted to do was plug new shit and talk about release dates. You think I’m missing out on the music? Try getting into a room with Flynn to discuss anything other than “Look at me!”.

    If he’s not a stand-up comic, then his so-called jokes and dialogues should be buried six feet deep before showtime, from now on.

    The Blackening is respectable, though–can’t argue with that.

    The correct lyric from Police Station is “down home country / I rest my face on your bed”, not “tell your country”. The obvious fact that the reviewer didn’t even read the booklet adds to the impression that he didn’t even listen to the album properly, sounds more like he listened to the leak a couple times and wrote a review. Looks like CoS wanted to be the first ones to put up a review or something. Rather put up a review next week, but write a good one instead. Needles to say I don’t agree with the reviewer. But hey, since I’m some sort of a fanboy, what do I know.

    Well, if you do an album review, I expect you to actually hold the album in your hands. To actually listen to the CD or even vinyl release. If you admittedly only listened to the stream, the title of this should say “Stream Review”, not “Album Review”. And like I said, the lyrics in the album sleeve say “down home country”.

    One way or another, I guess I’m  just bitching because our opinions differ. Seen as, the review was well-written and all. I’m just disappointed that you didn’t even seem to have listened to the actual release of this, just the stream. I don’t think you can form a full opinion on an album unless you have held the acutal release in your hands and listened to it.

    John frusciante is the closest equivalent my generation had to Jimi Hendrix. For the chilipeppers to go on without him is the same as If the Experience went on without Jimi. I honestly believe this album was put out to satisfy their contract. Goodbye RHCP may you forever R.I.P.

  • /users/?user=michael-roffman Michael Roffman

    Well, you’re going to have to discredit pretty much every review online then. Regardless, I took another listen and do agree that it sounds like “Down home country…” Looks like plenty of sites out there will have to edit this down the road.

    As for your preference for physical albums, I couldn’t agree more. There’s nothing better than holding an album in your hands. Unfortunately, you don’t always have that opportunity come press time.

    Yeah, release schedules are a thing I definetely didn’t consider, my bad. But I’m glad to see that you actually edited that lyric. I’m not sure about the US release, but as far as I’m concerned the album will be released in the US on Tuesday, 30th. I’m living in Germany, and yesterday was the release of the album over here. So I’m holding the album in my hands, and kindof read the lyrics Kiedis himself wrote on the album sleeve. I don’t think he misspelled something, if you get my point.

    After all, a review is nothing but the writer’s opinion, and why would we argue about that. Like I said, I have to agree with most of the other commenters, I really like and enjoy the album. But it’s great to see that you, as the writer of the review, actually replied. This kind of closeness to the audience is definetely a nice thing to have. So, compliments to CoS and especially to you sir.

    It’s clearly evident in the comments below that people are getting very emotional about the Blink coverage. Blink 182 was my absolute favourite band from grades 7-9 and I thought, “Wow these guys are the greatest band in the world and I’ll love them forever!”. And then sure enough, that forever ended when I grew up and lost the taste of humour that these 30-somethings still enjoy, and discovered bands with actual talent. Are Blink’s songs catchy? Yup. Did they once mean something in the lives of 13 year olds everywhere? Yup. Would I be caught listening to them today? Not a chance.

    I get angry when I see people on CoS bashing Foo Fighters or my home-boys Arcade Fire, and so I won’t go on to attack the author of this piece for loving Blink – as many people below have. This music has served it’s purpose though, and like I did in grade 9, maybe it’s time for people to let go of what they once loved so much and embrace that there are more talented and innovative bands out there than Blink 182.

    Fantastic band. That’s all I can say. They don’t need to be anything else, because they’re blink-182. Let the Foo Fighters be the Foo Fighters and on and on and yada yada. There’s a market for all of it. It’s not always the most talented people who win. Sometimes it’s hard work and sometimes people just got it that way. Blink 182 just has it that way. Don’t hate. They’re still the most fun thing in happening in music today. I don’t need eye popping guitar solo’s, weird keys, and off beat tempos to enjoy music. It’s supposed to be fun.

    What a fvckin joke of a review! Is this cat serious? There’s certain levels of fortune, fame, music and LIFE that the ‘writer’, Winston Robbins, may never understand. I think this dude’s on too many drugs to comprehend what he’s heard from this EP. Sometimes…SOMEtimes, it’s not all about selling records. This is ART pal, wake up and realize that these two people are PEOPLE…not just ‘dope rappers’…Some people just dont get it.

  • /users/?user=nadajudgewhorejury NadaJudgeWhoreJury

    In regard to your comment on “Lighters”; It’s art brother…sometimes you have to color outside the lines. I cant think of ONE song to take the amount of ‘risk’ they did with that track and taking risks is where people find the most incredible things, sometimes. It’s really just a subjective matter of taste, not the greatest, not the worst! I personally like the tracks unique feel.

    For the record, I think his (Bruno Mars) shit’s alright, even great at times but c’mon…Eminem’s light years ahead with his music. He does NOT need ANYONE to help promote his shit!

    After listening to this album for a couple of days, I was not that impressed, RHCP could do much better with the talent that they have. Their previous three albums were much better, I guess John F leaving changed their sound and it does not sound that good in my opinion, again this is not a terrible album but it could have been much better with the talent that they have. I f you like this album make sure you give this album a chance also.

    once saw Wilco a few years back. they played for 3 hours. they’re encore was over an hour long.

  • /users/?user=andy-morgan Andy Morgan

    I’ve been a fan of Wilco since its inception (back in the days of the Uncle Tupelo split, when first bastard albums fell and all money was put on Son Volt having the future, not Wilco).  And for you to come off saying that Wilco’s last two albums pale in comparison to their earlier works is laughable.  In what respect are Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (the Album) lesser in quality than YHF, Being There, or A Ghost Is Born?  I won’t mention AM or the Mermaid Avenue albums, because, well, come one, you know.

    The addition of Nels Cline’s fret work added more than anything they ever lost with Jay Bennett.  If anything, Wilco is now more nuanced in their writing, with a fresh clarity of sound which has forced them to become evermore creative structurally, and Tweedy’s lyricism only gets stronger, particularly when held against the same themes he has written about for nearly two decades now.  He keeps talking about the same concepts, but he speaks more clearly, deeper, and concisely than he ever has.

    I don’t mean to be harsh to Bennett, but with his departure from the band, Wilco mostly lost a lot of chaotic background noise… or more simply put, Wilco is focused.

    I’m not saying Yankee Hotel Foxtrot isn’t a masterpiece, but it nearly belongs on Hipster Runoff as a hipster cliche where you can’t say one damn word other than ultimate praise about it or you’re shot down as being totally off the mark in regard to what good music/art truly is.

    A Ghost is Born is amazing.  Summerteeth was Wilco first masterwork.  Being there is real alt country.  Sky Blue Sky and Wilco (the Album) are just as good as any of these.  I think you probably just haven’t listened to them.  Impossible Germany?  You Are My Face?  One Wing? 

    Don’t hate the albums just because they somehow ended up in the rotation at Chipotle or were sold at Starbucks.

    Now, on topic, I like your song choices.

So maybe they are not the most talented trio ever to play music but if anyone in this comment stream can say they don’t know at least one of their songs your a fucking liar!

There are great songs in this album, like “Goodbye Hooray”, “Police Station” and the amazing ballad “Brendan’s Death Song”.Definitely a rebirth for them…!If you like, feel free to drop by my blog to read my review: http://www.dwaveonline.com/2011/09/im-with-you-new-red-hot-chili-peppers-album-review-2/See you soon! :-)

    The clip was just 15 sec short, I thought I read 15 minutes. This ad debuted last nite. I just saw this at around 12:15. It was awful when it started. The ad was lame, so I asked myself “Is this it?” In some angles, Julian’s jacket looks like a reptilia. But up close it’s a machu pichu inspired design. (ok that was try-hard.)
    Sorry, I’m not good at this. I shall run, run, run now.

    This could have been a good review if it wasn’t for the stupid cheap shot.  I’ve grown distrustful of any reviews or references that come from a viewpoint of trashing others.  I LIKED Them Crooked Vultures, and it wasn’t a bunch of celebrities sleepwalking through a project, it was a real valid collaboration of some cool ideas.  Some of it worked and some does it.  To imply that sucked, and WF is good makes me question the whole bias of the writer, and now I think this writer doesn’t listen with an open mind, so why should I read this with an open mind?  Unfortunately, as interested as I was in Wild Flag, I kind of don’t want to check it out now because of this review.  And that is sucks.  Maybe once the stink from this write up wears off in a week or so, I can get a clear perspective and maybe just try out a few tracks.

    Yeah dude, when someone dislikes something you like, and then goes on to explain how something they like is better than that something that you like, you should totally regard their opinion of the thing that they like–which you have no direct exposure to–as an invalid opinion.

    Pulling a tantrum?
    “When I quit the band, over a year ago, we were on an indefinite hiatus. There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys were very understanding. They are supportive of my doing whatever makes me happy and that goes both ways.
    To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.
    I really love the band and what we did. I understand and value that my work with them means a lot to many people, but I have to follow my interests. For me, art has never been something done out of a sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and interesting. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.
    Sending love and gratitude to you all.”

    One of the greatest live bands. 14 shows in and I’m still as excited as ever to see them each time. I know this feature is nothing more than a filler and there is no need to exute any more of my energies on how lame it is and how it magnifies the CoS staff’s lack of musical understanding, but if you are attending Wilco shows any time in the last 10 years and are walking away feeling “they should’ve played this song”, you are not understanding the show you just saw. Name me one relevant band that has a standing like Wilco in modern music who are constantly and succesfully re-interpreting their sound and their old songs to put on one of the most musically engaging and unpredictable shows you could ask for. Or just complain that they’ve changed and your brain hasn’t been able to keep up.

    “Play Freebird!” – the CoS staff at any show 

    At least use this dumbass feature (which totally could be good) to focus on bands who we still feel have potential, but have been rather stagnet in their set lists on the last three or four tours. Bands that are still good (so no Incubus please) and we all still see, but we are also probably sharing the same sentiment, that “something needs to change or I’m out”.      

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Dude, did you ever see them with Bennett live? If so you’d laugh at yourself for talking so funny.

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Agree with everything except the last part where you throw a Shit Sandwhich Cos’ way. Keep these fuckers accountable, half of everything they write should come with the disclaimer “I don’t know or understand a whole lot about this type of music because I really like and usually listen to different music, music which I will wrongly use as an anchor to compare this music I am currently reviewing to”. I think honesty is important, plus it would save some of you from looking like morons. I’m sure I will get the stock, “Go read Pitchfork instead you hater!”, I’m not a huge Pitchfork fan at all, but they at the very least seem to pick people who are well suited and knowledgeble to the genre of music they are talking about, It feels like assignments are just drawn out of a hat here, it is only on the rarest of occaisions that you can gain some insight into something on this website. I hate treading through all the pretensious writing at Pitchfork, but at least you read some intelligeble insight more often than not.

    I don’t know how so many people can put up with this place? Most of the time it’s like reading a travel guide on China wriiten by a person whose never been to China, but likes going out for Vietnamese food regularly.

    That’s because they get people who’ve never been to China, but love to eat Vietnamese food in Chicago, to write their books on China. Wait until a new Them Crokked Vultures album comes out and some different person talks about how shitty of a supergroup Wild Flag is in comparison to them. The circle of unfounded bullshit shall be made once more from the knowlegeble folks at CoS.

    Fuck’s sake, at least explain to some degree of what you are talking about with the Them Crooked Vultures comment????? Personally, I didn’t like the album but I would probably feel the need to elaborate on just what the fuck I am talking about in what establishes a “novelty” and how you all can be sure that I know I’m not just to big ol’ Wild Flag fanboy who perhaps themselves can not see the Novely Forrest for the Novely Trees.

    Excellent review! “Randy Newman taking it to the dance floor”, is a great line. The Janus statement is dead on too, Merritt’s output from ’91-’99 will still be relevant and in step with the times 30 years from now just like  Porter, Carmichael and the like. He’s a true “tunesmith” and it’s a shame a lot of people don’t recognize that rare talent, or as a result of his voice and subject matter feel it is more novelty music than real songwriting. It’s not that you need to be aware of people like Gershwin, but sometimes I wish people would be more aware of what this type of songwriting entails. Continually coming up with strong melody is fucking hard! Never mind churnning them out like they are going out of style. Only a certain few can do it. Plus the lyrics these guys (from Gershwin, Newman, to Merritt) used are so well phrased and thought out that they are that exceptional breed of completely universal and relatable while simutaniously feeling deeply unique and personal.

    The kids may want to start with !!!’s cover of ”Take Ecstasy With Me” if they need some sort of bizzare stamp of approval.

    Always fun to see some claymation! For anyone whose interested in some more mind bending and creative labors of clay love, I strongly urge you check out the work Bruce Bickford did with Frank Zappa. The movie “Baby Snakes” is full of his work. There is also a great version of “Stink Foot” on youtube where Zappa’s hands turn to clay as he starts his solo. Supremely wild stuff that is not only trippy as fuck, but some hard ass work as it incorporates the camera being stop motioned moved the entire time with the clay.

    The “author” (ha ha ha) simply has some splainin’ to do is all. Like many reviews here, it seems baseless claims or overt biases count as good reviewing. Again, the dude has his right to his opinion, (I’m not a communist or a fascist let’s just be very clear the air on that one, the dude definitely has his right to his opinion! These are important facts to get tangled up in and very good argument points. Thank you so very much for bring us all back down to planet earth. America specifically. Where we all have a right to our opinions. We almost got lost there for a second. Nice to be back! Let us also not forget to let other’s, whose opinions are contrary to ours, know that they are “Hating”. Solid counterpoint, for sure. Please take the time to respond with, “Don’t read it if you don’t like it”. That is just a very good and useful way to spend your time. Plus you sound smart, “Yeah? Don’t read it if you don’t like it because it’s all just a big steamin’ heap of garbage”. Good solid point) but what’s his opinion really? He’s just thrown teatherless insults around to try and explain why this Wild Flag album, which he deems to be a better group than Them Crooked Vultures (because why doesn’t matter. Don’t stop my opinions commie!), is a good album. He might not like TCV because they aren’t Led Zeppy enough (We will never know). This is probably not a musically intelligent reason for hating (stop hating! Move on loser!) that album, in which case why should he have a musically intelligible reason for liking this album. The whole thing reads like it should be in the comment section. Just sayin arbitrary shit basically. That’s what I do, get off my gig dude, stop taking my job, quit being un-American. Why are you hating? Don’t read this if you don’t like it! I rest on your face!!!!!!

    I was ready to book my flight to Seattle for these shows, and to my surprise they came to my home state of WI. Really an honor for them to choose Alpine over sooo many worthy venues around the country (especially after the 2000 Alpine show, which was below freezing!).
     
    Unbelievable setlist on Sat.  Release was the perfect opener, and for whatever reason, Push Me, Pull Me and Help Help were my highlights before CC walked out on the stage and brought the house down with Temple songs.
     
    Day 2 highlighted by Red Mosquito/Satan’s Bed (after RM Ed said “here’s another one about the devil”), and 2 of the best encores I’ve ever witnessed.

You are now that kind of website. It’s totally cool if you wanna be that type of website, but you have sort of been pretending not to be the kind of website that would give real creedence to a Bush album. There are plenty of those websites in the world, feel free to join, but it’s a point of no return. I’m glad you got to meet the guy from Bush and I’m glad to you got to put it all up here on your website. But c’mon, what’s happening here?

    It’s like you all just recently found out about music which existed off of the top 40. Got excited. Made a website. And now have started to exert a musical knowledge that is anchored in nothing more but trend. Do you guys even understand the music and the artists that inspire the music you write about” Is Bush something special to you all? Was he more than a bare chested dude singing faux “alternative” rock? Is Bush something we need to talk about? If you think it is then, uh-oh.

    best band from balkans.. there are none like them.. but this album is mainly produced for non ex-yugoslavens, and i must say, IMHO their worst so far (not that its bad, but out of all DK’s albums so far – its the worst). Tracks that are worth something are “U.S.A” and “Europe Song”. And they ruined the “Balkan funk”.. trust me, in original (bosnian) its 1000 times better..
    but as i said. with (kind of a) fail like this, they still ROCK! and i really don’t mind buying this album… in fact, just to keep them rocking, i’d buy a poo on a stick :D

    “Strange Overtones”, for example, takes on something of the Echo and the Bunnymen sound without stealing it. “Stroke by Stroke”, slowed down, might be Vampire Weekend-ish, but again, it’s very much its own song. ” ????

    “Strange overtones” is a cover of David Byrne & Brian Eno. This is very much NOT it’s own song but a good cover. Do your homework before you review.

    OFWGKTA are nothing more than the anti-Biebers for the tweens, like drawing pentagrams for adolecents, like smoking cuz it’s cool, and they don’t even know it. I love how much Tyler wears his blatant misogyne and homophobia like a golden badge of honor, real grown up dude, real cool.

    Tegan and Sara made a great statement regarding sites such as the CoS’ and The Pitchforks giving real creedence to these useless children. Of course Tyler responds with “Hit me up if you need some hard dick” which to all of his fans must have sounded very cute and clever since it insults both the gay comunnity and women at once. Fine work dude. Great humen being through and through.

    So what is the deal Cos? Do you have women and gay people on your staff? I’d be interested to know on how they feel on you guys giving any attention to these ignorant infants beyond how we should all realize that there is no redemption whatsoever when you attack people or reduce their stature in society for being nothing more than who they are. Or do you just not give a flying fuck? Or have you never even bothered to ask? Or are you yourselves still not sure what all the fuss is about, cuz after it may be blatant hate, misogyne, and homophobia they are spreading, but it’s in the context of “entertainment”. Bullshit. Until one of you fuckers are the butt end of a group’s hate why don’t you just stick to being an upstanding decent human being and draw the fucking line at not wanting to subject anyone to pointless slurs, hate, and pain that they are already perhaps dealing with or dealt with in the past simply as a result of being themselves. This is just shameful behavior of you to cover this without taking a stance on how backwards and insulting it is to a large section of the population who are being directly slandered and those like myself who don’t tolerate people using words and themes of hate.

    People compare these idiots to Maralyn Manson, which is only true to the extent that they are going for cheap shock. They are actually worse than Manson and it speaks volumes to where the alternative music media has gone to in that they are accepting them with arms wide open. Manson was cheap shock. But at least he went shocking in a religious context. You aren’t born religion, religion isn’t your sexuality nor is it the color of your skin. There is a line to play with there. I think it’s gimmicky and boring, but whatever. Using words of hate in a hateful context is black and white. There is no middle ground. So very cool of you if you feel their hate and misogyne have some artistic merritt, I am very sure the gay community and women around the globe are happy you praise such high art at their expense. It is as simple as this, ”when you know better, you do better”. Anything else is just a cop out.

At least 1 member of OFWGKTA is openly gay and there are multiple women in the group. your totally entitled to your opinion on what you think of their music but don’t go bitching out CoS for covering a story about a music group who is getting a tv show. That is their job. To present unbiased news. Its called journalism. 

  • /users/?user=dan Dan

    How can you read a blog, while at the same time, call them “fuckers”? Get over yourself dude. You are forcing yourself to be subjected to them.  You could simply, ummm, not click on the articles.  Hey, there’s an idea.  You only need to be subjected to the things you choose to in life.  If I went and asked my mom who Tyler the Creator was, she would look at me like I was crazy. Why?  Because she doesn’t put herself in situations where she would ever hear his music or people talking about his music.  How could you want journalists to choose not to cover certain artists because they don’t agree with their message?  You said “black and white” alot in your little spasm above, but that’s a pretty damn grey area.  Where would that end? I personally wouldn’t want to read a blog that just consisted of a few people’s favorite music.  I want to hear everything covered, whether I personally like it or not.  That is how you broaden your horizons and find new and creative art.  But if you truly feel that people should not cover the happenings of Odd Future, well then you better boycott Pitchfork, Spin, Rolling Stone, MTV, well, pretty much every music publication of any sorts.  If I see you comment on another Odd Future article after this one, then I know for a fact that you are a self-destructing cynical asshole.

    Yeah becuase they’ve never covered a Billy Corgan story and slipped in their dissproval and disgust in his beating of a dead horse. Get real man! They throw their opinions on on things they love and hate all the time here (as do other places). I bring up the Corgan thing because most of the time these insults are part of a NEWS UPDATE of some never ending project of his. What does that say about them and you, that no one raises an eyebrow about them getting stirred enough to expressing concern for dumb music, but when they are talking about music whose sole purpose is to pretend it is art becuase they throw around misogyne and hate for jokes (ha ha ha such funny jokes) they just sit there with their thumbs up thier ass and join the bandwagon. The hard hittin’ folks at CoS just like to flex their “bully” muscle on Corgan and ICP i guess, too bad they don’t have any social awerness muscles between the group of them.

    Plus this ain’t journalism on here Dan, relax. 

  • /users/?user=stefan Stefan

    Nick you are the perfect example of why people like you need a slight form of direction and awareness regarding who exactly thinks this is funny? and Why only that segment of people find it funny? If you feel there is any substance to be had in using hate directed toward a group of people for being nothing else but themselves is worth the punchline of a joke, I think you need to re-evaluate your art/funny priorities. That is the most base and easiest form of attack. It is the thinking of frightened people and children, nothing more. Would anyone be challanging me if a band talked only about poop, crying, and not wanting to share its toys? Probably not because you would all be like “that;s infantile bullshit, we don’t want that”. So if if you consider yourself among the frightened and the infant minded, cool good for you, OFWGKTA clearly are worthy of our attention in 2011.

    Your argument of “they have women in their band…” shows your surface knowledge on the impact a straight  male dominated media has had to convince both you and those that are having the power taken away from them to believe everything is okay. They are only accepted as long as they go along with the program. You think for one second if anybody in that group spoke against these things they would be praised and given more mic time? What a liberated group of young individuals who are ever so kind enough to allow people to join in the undermining of their own sexes and sexual orientations. Bless their foward thinking souls.

    Bottom line is this, why not cover them in the same tone as ICP or Corgan and so forth. Granted you guys are one of the few places that do try and look like you are not really big fans of them, but you are still doing some big time tap dancin’ in not fully commiting to one thing or the other.

    Chris Traynor isn’t the problem. His guitar work on Institute was enjoyable, Maybe He’s more about fx processors than a noise maker like Nigel…. but Chris has played with Bush before and while he’s a little different- I don’t think it’s an issue. If there’s anything unfortunate here.. It’s Bob Rock’s overproduction & band worries about getting a couple of radio friendly singles out there. (Since this is sort of a ‘come back’ record.) It’s an uneven record- but an interesting & a fairly adventurous one in some ways. With their own label now & a band that now basically consists of people that are old friends.. the future’s bright.

    The problem is easy enough to fix. They’re back now. No need to totally freak out about singles for their next album. Dump Bob Rock and hire a producer with an edge. Have fun. In the meantime- if you’re in the mood for something kind of poppy- here ya go.

    @ Brah: That is such a typical american response. To simply want to focus on the symtomes and not the cause.

    You’re not wrong on the idea that there are more pressing examples of hate occurring in the world, but doesn’t mean you shouldn’t concern yourself with the whole picture. Especially when dealing with the social constructs that breed and foster hate such as language, media, validadting bad behavior and so on are so easy to rectify in what is the whole picture of what allows people to be vitimized. You just need to say, “This is disgusting, we aren’t interested in it”, anything else is simply you perpetuating and not caring about its sentiments and hate.

    I wish you were correct in that OFWGKTA were looked upon as trolls by every single person who listens to them, but you and I both know that is far from the truth. Just because this is not hate carried to the fruition of murder does not mean it is not victimizing and a large part of what allows people (mainly gay people and women in this case) to be openly discriminated againsted on a widespread social and systemic level.

    So yes, people being killed by hate crimes is no doubt as bad as it gets. But to say that you aren’t concerned with living in a world where the mainstream media and media such as CoS openly print things that target and victimize people and spread that messge in 2011, is to say “call me when someone gets killed”

    Agreed.  Some people just don’t understand what it is to be an artist, or to actually care about what you do.  This album has me very excited… in fact, other than perhaps Acrobat or Until the End of the World, I think Love Is Blindness is perhaps a tailor-made song for Jack White.

    Hopefully, Jack takes that feedbacky wail from the end and moves us somewhere.  I don’t see how he couldn’t.

    I Think all you need is lessening again, some works have time to spread the ideas, another thing… The conceptual of the album is the DELUXE version, with 3 part composer and 3 minute pause. Like Trinity composition… Got it?

    Still waiting on an Atlanta homecoming date, though.

    Dude.  This is an extremely well thought out review, and I agree with a lot of it, but calling Destroyer a bad album?  That, my friend, is a triumph of an album.  It has depth that Field Rexx, WMN, and Furr just don’t have.  But it’s sometimes hard to understand on first listen.  I get that. You probably don’t like MGMT’s 2nd album either, but that’s neither here nor there (it’s a masterpiece).  Anyway, I love that you’ve thought this much about it.  Blitzen for the win.

    You forgot to mention when he joined Elton John on stage at the Honda Center (Arrowhead Pond at the time).  They performed Rocket Man and besides singing Carey also helped Elton out with the piano solo by using his head.  Yes, Jim used his actually forehead to bang out the piano solo on Rocket Man.

    Haha I actually liked MGMT’s second album.  Think it’s better than the first.  But, I really just called that album awful because of the site’s opinion on it (2 star review) and the fact that I could never really get into it.  Perhaps I’ll give it another listen.  Thanks for the kind words about the review and for reading.

    actually no it’s there fault…. they still haven’t booked a date in South Florida.  One date in Orlando on a week day isn’t going to cut it

    Nice review. Here’s
    another take:

    “Beautiful,
    compact, and disarming, Annie Clark (and her airtight synth pop songs) deliver
    a wicked bite.”

    This isn’t exactly his cover of The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus”, but it’ll do.

    My Damnation is one of the best albums i have heard when it comes to metal. For all those critics out there, i dont know what is wrong with you, because good metal is defined by how it stand out in your mind. Every song on this album is creative and set apart from the rest of the pack. Alex’s new vocals are godly, The best ive heard in a while. i would give this album ten out of five any day of the week.

    HOLY TITS… This. Song. Is. Fucking. Amazing! But i definitely agree goodjobblink.. For sure. Their new album is gonna be sick (:

    I really, really, really wish the band would. It’d be amazing if its victory lap U.S. tour came anywhere into Florida or Georgia *crosses fingers*

    Justin Vernon’s Neil Young is nowhere near as accurate as Jimmy Fallon’s impersonation

  • /users/?user=ghost-that-never-lies ghost that never lies…

    i wish…. but don’t hold your breath.  Foundation/Social Promotions were promoting the National show (last fall) as the only show in Florida.  I guess something rubbed them wrong the last time they were down here in South Florida when they did the last real Langerado

    The Meat Puppets and Vaselines doing songs on this is pretty damned appropriate
