NEW NEW NEW

Bonnaroo just announced another flood of artists that will be performing at the festival.

Most noteworthy? PHOENIX & the dirty projectors. I've been a phoenix fan for a while now, but I have yet to see them live. I hope they play as much new stuff as they do older songs. There is no way that it will be a bad set.

Here's the full list of new additions:

American Princes
Belleville Outfit
Ben Solee
Black Lillies
BrakesBrakesBrakes
Cotton Jones
Dan Dyer
Dear and the Headlights

Have you heard of any of them? Any "must-sees"?
I'll try and go through the list tonight & attach some "Sounds Like.." comments.

I have been doing some digging recently and have found a lot new music, so be excited for that Thursday.

PLUS, Purple Mountain Majesty will be visiting the studio for an in-house set and interview! If you're a fan of the Black Keys, you're going to love them. They just posted a new single on their myspace.

Feel free to comment questions you'd like to ask them.

Lollapalooza 2009

The Lollapalooza line-up just came out.

It is sick.

Probably better than Bonnaroo.

I'm blown. Why does it have to be so far away!

But it is in early August, which is far enough away to save up and go.

Why Lollapalooza OWNS Bonnaroo this year:
pretty much same line-up but w/ Lykke Li, Kings of Leon, No Age, Bats for Lashes, Fleet Foxes, Peter Bjorn and John, LA Riots, Kid Cudi too!

I thought Bonnaroo was going to add more bands?

first show

12:30pm: I love the Avett Brothers and reallyyy want to see them live. I missed them at Bonnaroo. Check out that energy!


11:48am: Bonnaroo2009 looks SICK. Check out the line-up here.

• bands I'm excited for: MGMT, Bon Iver, Bela Fleck, Rodrigo y Gabriela, of Montreal, Animal Collective, Jenny Lewis, Santigold, Grizzly Bear, Crystal Castles
  
  
• bands Yof is excited for: TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Girl Talk, of Montreal

11:11am: "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America--what. a. throwback. They're playing at the Westcott Theater on April 22. I don't know how they scored a set at an actual venue seeing how they're playing a show on what looks to be someone's backyard patio? UPDATE: I found out this is some weird cover band about mid-way through the song? That's what you get for just grabbing random videos off of youtube..



10:30am: We just played a track by Broken Spindles, which is a side-project of The Faint. Broken Spindles was interviewed by our friend Mike Murray for his sweet new music blog The Calcutta that he does with his friend. They've interview a lot of people already, including one of my favorites--Brendan Canning from Broken Social Scene. Hopefully we can get Mike's band To The Ruins in the studio sometime soon.

10:15am: We're playing "Knife" by Grizzly Bear and Yof actually had the opportunity to see them live when he went to the Radiohead show in Boston over the summer. Yof showed me this video of Girl Talk at Pitchfork Music Fest which actually had the lead singer of Grizzly Bear singing this exact song live during the remix.
