Lollapalooza was a great chance to check out bands that piqued my curiosity but hadn't yet turned me into a fan. Yeasayer I got to hear some of this band's swirling psychy rock before running off to Jeff Tweedy, and the interesting rhythms were intriguing enough to make me run back for the end of...
I had another awesome music weekend in Chicago. The weather was perfect all three days, I wasn't completely overwhelmed by choice as feared, and I obviously heard some great music. I will now write WAY too much about it! I'll start with the bands I was most psyched to see: Wilco, Amadou and Mariam,...
Well, it's over. I meant to post a recap of who I saw on Saturday yesterday morning, but I got sidetracked; and I've been in bed feeling like rubbish all day today. Not sure whether Lollapalooza's to blame or some other source of lurgee, but I can at least see straight now. So, Saturday. We got to...
I'll spare you the shots of my horrible sunburn. It was so hot that putting sunblock on my face didn't work as well as I had hoped...today I'm wearing a hat. And a burka.
It's hard to believe that it's already August, and odd that I'm attending my second Lollapalooza since moving here. Crazy! Yesterday, after an oddly productive morning at work, I left the office to meet Jess for lunch then headed to meet our friend Josie. She's in town to join in with the...
What's the best summer concert you've ever attended? 1991 - The 1st Lollapalooza - Walnut Creek Amphitheater, Raleigh, NC Ahh...the good ole days! It was the first summer of Lolla and the first summer that Walnut Creek opened. Lolla cheeslily(now, not then) felt like the Woodstock of my Generation...
So, due to unforseen complications, I won't be in Chicago this weekend @ Lollapalooza. Suffice it to say, I'm rather bitter about it, and missing Radiohead hurts me in ways that it shouldn't, but does. I'll just have to remember their last performance @ Hutchinson Field in Chicago, and think of that...
So, not only do I have to shell out $190 to see three great days of music (and make decisions about Bloc Party vs. The Raconteurs vs. Stephen Malkmus on Friday, Broken Social Scene vs. Battles, Wilco vs. Rage on Saturday, and NIN vs. Kanye on Sunday-although 'Ye will probably get on at 4:30 a.m....
The Summer of '92 hit me like a tsunami. I had just returned to Miami from San Diego, where I'd seen the woman who would become my wife for the first time in four years. Miami was as muggy as ever, and the grunge scene was tearing idle teenage minds apart faster than a pirhana in a bowl of...
