Lollapalooza

does the line up suck this year or is it my imagination? i thought last yrs was better.

yeah it's a lot worse this year. and it figures that most of the bands i wanted to see are scheduled against each other, especially on friday.

i dont know. i just dont see how it sucks.

looking at the schedule, these are the bands i plan to see.

friday:

deadboy and the elephantmen,
cursive,
eels,
jeremy enigk,
ryan adams,
lady sovereign,
secret machines,
raconteurs,
violent femmes,
death cab for cutie

saturday:
wolfmother,
feist,
built to spill,
nada surf,
sonic youth,
smoking popes,
flaming lips,
new pornographers.

sunday:
boy kill boy,
redwalls,
burden brothers,
hot chip,
ben kweller,
hard-fi,
the shins,
QOTSA,
Broken social scene


sure there are TONS of bands here i dont care to see, but i have found the schedule to not leave too much time when there isnt a band playing i want to see!

yeah, i agree, i think this year's lineup is much stronger than last year. but i'm finding a lot of scheduling conflicts so it'll be tough to see everyone i was looking forward to seeing.

I think the lineup is great, but the scheduling SUCKS.

Conflicts on Day One:

Stars/Editors/Jeremy Enigk
Umphreys McGee/Ryan Adams
Iron & Wine/Secret Machines
The Raconteurs/Unannounced Special Guest
Ween/Death Cab

Conflicts on Day Two:

Feist/The Go Team
Calexico/Nada Surf
Gnarls Barkley/Sonic Youth
Common/The Flaming Lips
Thievery Corporation/The New Pornographers

Conflicts on Day Three:

Queens of the Stone Age/Wilco


Seriously, do all of these bands have to play simultaneously? They couldn't have staggered start times?

Yes, life would really suck if one had to miss Umphrey's McGee!

That's a conflict?

It's rare that I laugh out loud from this board, but this one did it:

Thanks for picking up a slow afternoon.

you left off cursive, the new amsterdams, wilco, and the shins. especially cursive. tim kasher is a genius.
