T1B

hoping to go this weekend, but because of my asshole friend who says he wants to do something, but waits until the last fucking minute possible to ask for time off or get it cleared with the woman, those odds are 50/50. at union park in chicago, haven't been there but should be alright. presale weekend passes were $22 but have been upped to $35 now, which is still a really good deal.

i'm really looking forward to seeing broken social scene, the wrens, and the decemberists. i also heard ac newman is sweet. any other recommendations?

Broken Social Scene rocks. Curious how they are live. I wonder how many band members they'll have on stage. Didn't they use 20 people for their last record or something?

Hit all those as well as Magnolia Electric Company and DFA1979.

hold steady is a great artsy bar band from Minneapolis by way of Brooklyn. They have a great song for all the midwesterners about how everything is cooler in Chicago. DL some stuff off their Separation Sunday album.

Death From Above you've heard us gush over. Dungen is s'posedly tight.

prefuse is some indie hiphop producer.

i'm going for sure know. i'm noting all your suggestions and getting pumped for this weekend.
