clercqie
04.17.13 | It was a good lineup, but nothing compared to last year. Good to see you getting into Alt-J, that's a terrific band. |
clercqie
04.17.13 | Did Franz Ferdinand play any new songs? And were they good? |
klap
04.17.13 | they played some new songs and yeah i dug them. their energy live is incredible imo
missed alt-j : ( |
clercqie
04.17.13 | Yeah, I already seen them three times, and they killed it everytime. So much fun. Good to hear, I'm looking forward to the album.
What did you go see instead? |
klap
04.17.13 | was seeing japandroids for most of their set. recap tmrw! |
clercqie
04.17.13 | Okay yeah, Japandroids is then certainly a better choice. |
aok
04.17.13 | the context around franz wasn't great -- people being dumb around me. plus after the first few songs there wasn't really anything exciting or new or different iuno. kinda like the chili peppers for me.
no regrets leaving japandroids early |
JumpTheF**kUp
04.17.13 | nah i'm not bitter but i saw a lot of it on the livestream and j5 were amazing, as were janelle monae and major lazer
plus moby's dj set lel |
klap
04.17.13 | moby killed it, and watching it from the booth was ace. i've never seen franz live so maybe that worked in my favor |
Storm In A Teacup
04.17.13 | 3 doesn't look country at all, more like douchey |
Aids
04.17.13 | first fest I went to, I was watching Mogwai with my gf. She wasn't digging it and asked me who was on the other stage. It was Franz Ferdinand and she was like "who?"
"You know they're that one band with the na na nana na na naaaa"
she was like "oh I think I like them." she left for the other stage but came back ten minutes later "yeah I remember them now, they suck." she sighed and continued to watch me watch Mogwai
....and then I found 5 bucks |
klap
04.17.13 | that description reads more like kaiser chiefs lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMViPKkRImk
i dk i've had an extra soft spot for franz ferdinand ever since i found out the singer is married to the chick from fiery furnaces and he has a food column and a book about food he's eaten on tour |
Storm In A Teacup
04.17.13 | Lol fuck yeah 5 bucks shoulda gave it to your girl and been like I'm watching this go buy me food/drank you're not doing anything |
aok
04.17.13 | 9-5 job as an electrical engineer. pretty much the only days off i take are to go to festivals soyea |
MO
04.17.13 | nice been meaning to check out 24 |
Brostep
04.17.13 | Dog Blood's single is surprisingly solid. Shows Skrillex isn't just big wubs and nothing else |
clercqie
04.17.13 | ^ Yeah, I quite liked it as well. Dunno if I could an hour of the stuff though... |

04.17.13 | sweet write up dude! enjoyed reading it. |

wabbit
04.17.13 | damn didn't even see the descendants |
peaks40
04.17.13 | seen portugal. the man at osheaga last year they were awesome. gonna see phoenix at osheaga this year. Seen chili peppers awesome, and asap over aesop? never. |
EaglesBecomeVultures
04.17.13 | chili peppers? what is this? 1991? |
Buzzkillr
04.17.13 | you should've watched tnght, apparently their live shows are great.
also, what's up with the 2nd weekend having exactly the same lineup? |
Acrosstheshield13
04.17.13 | so...you thought 2 Chainz was better than Wu Tang and Aesop Rock..And you confused Aesop Rock for A$AP Rocky...are you fucking serious? |
klap
04.17.13 | buzzkill they made it two weekends bc it sold out too quick with just one |
Buzzkillr
04.17.13 | yeah that makes sense, not many people are gonna attend both I imagine |
illmitch
04.17.13 | YOU TELL EM ACROSSTHESHIELD LETS GET SOME REAL HIP HOP IN HERE! WHERE MY MACKLEMORE FANS AT? |
EaglesBecomeVultures
04.17.13 | CAN'T HOLD US DOWN |
aok
04.17.13 | lol shield. i didn't confuse a$ap for aesop i merely said i enjoy a$ap more cause i do (and also i didn't think aesop was white). 2 chainz brought it, whereas wu offered me nothing i couldn't already hear in the studio except heaps of white people and no space to breathe. but next time i write about a festival i went to and you didn't i'll be sure to get your opinion beforehand |
Tyrael
04.17.13 | lol nice |
Drekorend
04.17.13 | Wow, 2 Chainz above Franz Ferdinand. |
aok
04.17.13 | @drek ? i gave them each 1 * . this is chronological, eh?
@tater -- not at all. 2 weeks a year of vacation + occasional leniency with personal/sick days. used 2 days for coachella, can do e-zoo without taking any days off and am gauging what else I can do this year. Next year burning man, this year .. something else? threw out electric forrest as an idea but idunno really. i have a $500 delta voucher i gotta use in the next 6 months or so tho |
Mewcopa0
04.17.13 | bleh |
kingsoby1
04.18.13 | i should do a festival some year |
klap
04.18.13 | yo andy i'm planning on doing burning man next year as well |
Drekorend
04.18.13 | @aoku Oh, okay, that makes more sense. Thanks! :)
That being said, objectively, Franz Ferdinand > 2 Chainz |
illmitch
04.18.13 | nah |
oltnabrick
04.18.13 | "Is this a concert in 2013 or one of my high school cum-socks from the ’90s?
lmao |
Acanthus
04.18.13 | 13 saddens me.
However seeing Infected Mushroom in a non-psychedelic focused concert/festival/venue is definitely not the way I'd want to see them. |
aok
04.18.13 | I was thinking back on it and maybe I was a little harsh. Remember * means I enjoyed it still. They had cool stuff going on but it wasn't omgwow good |
Acanthus
04.18.13 | Still would love to see them, just not sure if I'll get the chance. |
kingsoby1
04.18.13 | yeah in no reality is franz ferdinand better than 2 chainz wtf. |
klap
04.18.13 | they were better i saw them both |
kingsoby1
04.18.13 | burning man eh. would be cool to go one of these years. we should set up a mezz camp |
aok
04.18.13 | i'm almost certainly doing burning man next year. not gonna buy e zoo tickets 10 months ahead of time this year + if it's the only thing on the books for me vacation-wise, i can do it proper |
luci
04.19.13 | so you didn't love much about the festival this year? not many enthusiastic set reflections |
aok
04.19.13 | more stars than last year, which is weird cause last year's lineup was more stacked. i'm just one year more jaded so my tone
may have been a bit off. it's silly to compare years but i appreciated the significantly less drama this year. blake's getting
intimidatingly good too |
SgtPepper
04.19.13 | I have always wanted to go to this, but never had the opportunity.I've Never really gone to music festivals to be honest, just saw the bands I liked that played at the local concert venues near home. Hopefully someday. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself though, Andy. Red Hot Chili Peppers are the only one's I've seen live from this list, but I haven't seen them yet with Josh K. on guitar. I hope he ruled.
I would love to see The Flaming Lips and Massive Attack live, hopefully someday.
|
aok
04.19.13 | gonna be around new york again any time soon hernan? |
SgtPepper
04.19.13 | I hope so. Ive spoken with my dad about me moving back, but New York became pretty expensive with school + apartment
and living costs. So going to a university near by would be more feasible, but I do want to go back, even if its just to visit. |
peaks40
04.19.13 | ^I've seen them with Josh and they got a lot of energy. I wish i had seen them with John:( |
Crawl
04.21.13 | Gaslight Anthem sucked this time. Fallon looked completely bored and uninterested. |
WeSuckYoungBlood
04.23.13 | Massive Attack is touring? Jizzz.... |
Aids
04.24.13 | that's every music festival ever though
I will grant you that Coachella is probably worse than most. |
klap
04.24.13 | yeah i go to festivals for the crowds lol |

04.24.13 | "great crowd, all about the music: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/jimmy-kimmel-tricked-a-bunch-of-people-at-coachella-into-pre"
