Landmark Festival

sidehatch… i'm confused..

you were selling a pass before festival but then went anyways?


too bad you missed dr john…

I had two, one of which I sold to some Drake lovin fan

also…I said I did see (and hear) at least half of his set
this will be the 4th time I've seen Mac Rebennack, so don't feel like it was a total loss
hard to get super excited for someone who's 74,  but what I heard sounded great

Just because you don't listen to music made in the last 20 years doesn't mean I have to as well

huh? I though  you said your ticket cost $30… I thought two day passes where like $175? did you sell the other ticket to the drake lovin' fan for $30?

dude, you are way out of line on that last bit…in the past 3 days I have bought and listened to these new albums

new order music complete
duranduran
keith Richards
david Gilmour

today I bought the 2011 arctic monkeys album and gilian welch 2011 album.. lookin' forward to listening to them..

not sure what brought about your outburst but i'll take it under advisement that you are in ASSHOLE mode. funny..so easy to be an asshole on the internet …even to your friends..

had no idea you thought Dr John sucks cause he's 74…did you hear his album produced by Dan Auerbach, you know, the guy from the band the Black Keys… fabulous stuff..came out maybe 3 years ago? so weird.. you write in the same sentence that its hard to get excited cause he's 74 but that what you heard sounded great?  how come its so hard to get excited then?

Cost me $30 in the end…bought for 4 for $100 each and then when they went up to $150, I sold them at a discount to current rates…although lot harder to unload than I thought.

maybe so, but you seem to be singularly focused the Dr. John was playing the fest
whilst I think he is a part of cannon of American music and a favorite of mine
his live shows are just OK.  Worth seeing if you never have, but wasn't anything spectacularly face melting

had no idea you thought Dr John sucks cause he's 74…

I didn't say he sucked, twice I said he sounded great.
but he is past his prime as far as live performances go…wouldn't you agree with that?

My focus was seeing bands that I hadn't seen before
and on that point, I did exactly what I wanted

I don't get it… Sidehatch said I only listen to music that came out 20 years ago.. that's bullcrap… and the idea that older musicians can't make good music is ridiculous… in fact experienced musicians are far more likely to make good music than newbies.

A good example is the new Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard…. so Willie and Merle are old as can be, so what? Its a great album

I don't care how old people are.. a great album is a great album…how long the musician has been around doesn't enter into it.. as long as you have an open mind you're fine…

An example would be Ty Stegall… he has this killer 10" thing… rockin' as can be…  I look forward to seeing Fuzz at the Cat…

But sorry if I don't write off New Order because they're "old"….I really don't care how old they are.

If an older artist puts out a bad album.. hey that's just an artist that put out a bad album.. the fact they are older doesn't enter into it… but if you've been listening to someone for decades and enjoying their work why should you stop because they're old?

Moving from flavor of the month to flavor of the month just following the sheeple… there's nothing to that….it takes some individuality and guts to actually listen to what you like and not worry about the fact Willie or Dr. John are old…or what Sidehatch thinks about Dr. John's current performing skills (never mind the fact he was walking in and heard half of his set..)

Dr John can play better than 99% of these newbie bands with one hand tied behind his back… that's a fact.. and I have seen Dr John by the way.. at the Lincoln from the fifth row center so GTFO.

Based on the interactions, I'm not sure who owes who what, but someone owes someone a beer… you may owe sidehutch a beer at this point.

re: Dr. John, I saw him at the Hamilton last year and it was pretty cringe worthy.

And Keef will outlive us all….

Drove down from Bombadillo in Baltimore to catch Drake on Saturday night, ended up watching Rebirth Brass Band and they were AWESOME!

2nd day got there in time for TV On The Radio, my friend had an extra VIP band so I went and had some beers there. The Miller Lite state side VIP area was FAR superior to the Jefferson stage side, if you just wanted to booze. Free booze, food, a cool viewing area with screens, picnic benches, a cool photo booth to take pics. The VIP area on the Jefferson stage side was just a glorified patio with a tiny 2 person bar and if you weren't on the rail you couldn't see dick AND they wouldn't let you leave that VIP area with booze [the other area did] which is just stupid.

Chromeo was awesome, Red Barat was insanely awesome and Strokes were super fun… although I can do without Julian Casablancas talking about how he doesn't like rock and roll lol.

Then went to see Doomtree at Rock & Roll Hotel! Fun day. Spent a grand total of zero dollars.

finally, somebody, talked about the strokes.
