schedule is out:
http://lineup.lollapalooza.com/events/2011/08/05/closing out the festival on sunday: headlining sets by foo fighters vs… deadmau5.
i give the festival props for publishing a schedule so far in advance. kinda nice, instead of the usual gig of learning 2 days before the festival starts.

the first one was in 1991. i thought the second was the best: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush.

That SUCKS. I met one of the guys in the band when I was out in Portland and he was a really, really nice guy. I feel bad for them.

My capsule review of this year….
Good stuff:
Muse
MMJ
White Lies
Joy Formidable
Mayer Hawthorne
POBPAH
OK stuff:
Arctic Monkeys
Foster the People
Two Door Cinema Club
Manchester Orchestra
The Cars
Can't believe I watched:
Cee-Lo
A Perfect Circle
Perry Farrell said that he wants to make it more dance-centric every year. Not really sure how I feel about that. I guess that's what the kids are into these days.
But one thing that made me wonder…I bolted before the Foo Fighters set to walk around a bit and saw a little of this and that until I ended up at the other end of the field where Deadmau5 was "playing". I'm not going to editorialize one way or the other on him, but how can so many people treat Daft Punk like gods and at the same shit all over this? From the bit that I watched it was essentially the same racket.

I hate when people are so obsessed with bringing dance music to masses. BFD, Perry. You just want that because you have better drugs.
Also, was Perry's "wife" there this year? She's like Ice T's Coco.
As for Daft Punk vs. Deadmau5, Daft Punk are French. And if Anglo-Saxon higher education has taught us anything, French artists have more cred. See also: Air, Phoenix. Hell, you could even use that argument for Fatboy Slim vs Girl Talk.
