PROPERTY OF SOMEONE ELSE

 

Whether you love this two-day, center-of-the-city’s-music-scene extravaganza (I’m pretty sure I use that word too much), or the logistical nightmare of too many stages and too many people gives you the willies, you can’t deny that this year’s lineup is top-notch. From Les Savy Fav to Past LivesFleet Foxes to Chromeo, DeVotchKa to Truckasauras, the Hold Steady to the Physics (and on and on), there’s something for most everyone.

 

Plus, (as in Man Plus) there’ll be some of the best people-watchin’ since your ex-brother-in-law dragged you along—quite literally—to the Mullet & Wife-Beater Convention in Greenbo, Alabama where the untold amounts of moonshine you consumed resulted in a freakishly bizarre scenario aboard a garbage barge putzing through the Hudson River. Holy moly.

    Anyone going to see Feral Children? I haven’t yet seen them myself (they’ve only played 21+), but I hear they put on quite the show! They were produced by Mr. Scott Colburn (Animal Collective)… I just found this sweet link to a free EP download they’re giving out: http://sarathan.com/free/feralchildren_ep/index2.html

    Fantastic, eh??! I need to go buy their stinkin album!

    I just might do that, Katy. We’ve seen them many times, and they are always fantastic. Here’s a review of the last show of theirs I saw–at an all ages house venue!
