Caught the Torres Tiny Desk earlier today. Not too familiar with her material but it was really enjoyable. And yeah, great voice and her back-up singer harmonizes well.
Drone folk is an interesting description. When I hear "drone folk," I think of stuff like this or this.
Sure, but everything is indie rock. Death Cab, Neutral Milk Hotel, to Beach House. Really all that indie rock means is that pitchfork is interested. It doesn't really describe anything.

agreed, so we add the subgenre. Beach House is dream pop. Death Cab indie pop. Not so sure about Torres yet, haven't heard much but I don't hear any folk.

it was not meant to be funny. their last album was, not as good as their album before, their last one, and now they have waited too long to release another album, and people, move on so quickly, looking for that next, cool idea to cling to. such a concept, ruined, faith no more, and it will ruin, vampire weekend.

neighbor into 80's metal asked if I wanted to go to def leppard/styx/tesla at the lube last night.
no plans, so why not?
parked his SUV on the side of wellington rd.
no tickets, but this guy is amazing talking to folks going in - $125 pit for $5.
folks love them some tesla.
ran into a colleague with an extra VIP ticket so enjoyed styx in a box and took full advantage of the 'benefits'.
back in the pit for the remainder.
out of there as soon as we started the engine and home by 11:15.
not really my thing, but all bands rocked hard, were super-tight and put on a show.

I actually also saw Tesla once around a decade ago and it was a surprisingly fun show for only knowing two songs going in.

I was wondering if everyone here was too cool for such an event. We had a great time under less than ideal conditions.
The sound was atrocious from where we were standing on the field (echo from the back PA bouncing back at you), the field was in terrible (and smelly) condition after the rain, and the lines for food were crazy long. Luckily I never had to wait for a $10 beer. Still, props to Seth and co for making it happen.
Joan Jett, LL Cool J, and Trouble Funk were excellent. Glad to see Dave get back and still be able to deliver. I still think it will be hard to endure an entire tour after an injury like that.

I was too cool and I went. Sound was a little bit off for some of the performers like Heart and Joan Jett. Maybe it was me but I was right in front on the left side and was having a hard time hearing the vocals for some of the performers. Buddy Guy was awesome! Whoever that kid he brought was great as well. Foo Fighters put on a great show considering Dave was sitting down. Quite different with him not running back and forth. Check out my youtube.
;D

How did the show make up the 80-min break?? It didn't feel like sets were shorter. I didn't check clock once Gary Clark Jr was on until Foos started. And that seemed to be only like 20mins late, which coulda happened in any situation not only a huge rain delay.
I was amazed, too, at the quick turntable action from one artist to the next. There was barely time to have any quick conversation with a friend, let alone go grab a beer, before the next band started.

That's great IMO, biggest gripe with festivals. 30 mins between acts and they only play for 30

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. Best turnaround (literally) I've seen at festival-type of event.

The Foo's could have shortened that video they were playing before their set and given the other bands more time. Other than that..

it was the 20th anniversary show of the Foo's not a festival
So mekmad…what show did you use your 'free tix' for?
inquiring minds want to know

It was a long ass video, probably at least 30 minutes. Replaying a good chunk of that HBO show.
Haven't redeemed my free show yet, I think I have until October.
