So… while you were sleeping, this happened
And because “knowing of” a band doesn’t make you an expert, here’s a lil’ latest/greatest/something/anything primer to expand your points of reference (read: ego).
Headliners
Apparently all you need to know about Soundgarden to get by, is this track
Well, that and don’t mention Audioslave
A good band deserves good measure though so…
Okay so… basically, if you can’t reference three Green Day songs I’m going to ask you to leave – in the nicest way possible – but it’s like finishing at least one book in life… you’ve done it, if only by accident. So, here’s some mash-ups
I could be sarcastic and play the whole “you may or may not have heard of this up-and-comer” but looking at my tag cloud – that’d be just plain silly. So cut to the brass tacks: Lollapalooza 2010 is GaGapalooza. Though this is her second romp around the block
call me cuh-cuh-cuh-crazy, but I don’t think this sophomore will slump… she feasts on festivals
Best of the Rest
Arcade Fire – because you should know what song was playing on that commercial you saw the other day
MGMT – because you should know whose song was playing on that other commercial
Devo – weird, but whatever, it’s worth it
Erykah Badu – because your man is gonna need you to front him, Jim, James, Paul and Tyrone 3-day passes; and James already called shotgun on the road trip to Chi-Town so your best bet is to grab a window seat
Gogol Bordello – Gypsy tested, Madonna approved
Raphael Saadiq – “clearly the coolest cat in the building not named Smokey:” noted, concur.
B.o.B. – latest and greatest… all the beautiful girls got them haterz everywhere he goes
Semi Precious Weapons – because they can’t pay their rent but they’re fxxking gorgeous
Watch This Space: because you don’t just wanna see a rock superstar, you wanna be the rock superstar
