I was planning to go, but I heard from a mpls friend that this fest is terribly organized every year. So I'm skipping. I'll catch the Jayhawks if they tour.
-
Yeah, but MMJ more than makes up for any lyrical or structural shortcomings in their songs with their face-melting live show. The Shins...not so much.
(And I liked the Shins live; always enjoyed Marty's banter, that big jerk).

how can i miss work that monday to be at this party?
the laurie's "sky blue sky" part at the h/o was a hoot!
Yvon! You should come! Maybe it'll coincide with the Yim Yames solo show...triple whammy!
-
Yeah, free show. More info here.
-
Aw cool...that sounds like fun. I might come over after the Feelies show at Millennium Park.
-
So cool! Congrats to the happy couple.
Clearly I need to join this group...any single dudes left?
-
The cover is fantastic! I love it because it reminds me of those awesome Milwaukee shows. Good times!
-
Good to know, thanks! I read something on the Allstate site about a shuttle from the train - any thoughts on that?
Also, anyone planning to check out this Dead art/photography exhibit across the way?
-
I'm amazed they're allowing camping. That should be interesting.
We're taking the train out tomorrow - any advice on that front?
-
I'll be there.
-
How did it go? I missed the performance because we were getting in a last minute run-through, but I heard there was some excitement...
-
i've been to 2 ACLs, and while i had fun...boy is it HOT at that park. the beer is cheaper than water, and if you drink most of the day (like i did)...well...it's a workout.
It should be slightly cooler this year since it's in October
ah, who am I kidding... -
Cool, I'll see you guys Friday then. I wasn't able to make it over there last night.
-
I LOVE them! Do they ever tour outside the Pacific Northwest?
-
apart from Pearl Jam it isn't a very good lineup let's be honest.
I would say you are wrong, but your tastes probably just differ from mine. It's the best undercard of any fest aside from Roo this year, in my opinion.

I don't believe we've met, but Bob was my Guitar 1 Rep teacher. Really nice dude!
Do you think they'll offer Tweedy ensemble again? I'm hesitant to sign up for it since I know I'll only be able to make about half the Saturday classes. Darn June weddings...
-
Yeah, it's gonna be sooooo fun.
More cities need places like the Old Town School! It's an amazing institution and an amazing community.
I agree. I've been taking classes there for the past few years and it really starts to feel like a family.
The performance space is very cool - just saw Loretta Lynn there last week. And I'll be performing there myself on Friday with my go-go class
It's a great place, and we should consider ourselves very lucky to have it in our own backyard.

Do you need a fiddle?

I just got an email from Frontgate saying that the GA2 and GA0 don't really mean anything. GA is GA.
I'm hoping for no openers...."An Evening With Wilco", if you will.

Cheers! Couldn't agree more. So excited to see him at Lolla this summer.
New Shins Album
in Someone Else's Song
Posted
Thus Okonokos and the countless MMJ bootlegs in circulation. I'd consider myself a pretty serious MMJ fan and I hardly ever listen to their studio albums. I wonder how many people bootleg Shins shows
I think there are certain bands, like the Grateful Dead, for example, where that something that makes them so great just can't be captured in the studio. Whereas other bands (and I'd put the Shins in this group) shine in a more controlled setting, like the studio. That said, I'm really looking forward to seeing what Mercer does with this next record, though I might skip the tour if it comes through town.
Anyway, Shins vs. MMJ seems like a bizarre comparison to make in the first place. Apples and oranges.
