worldrecordplayer Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 After seeing 45 bands over the weekend, I am fine with a break. Dare I ask, a metal festival? I'm pretty sure you weren't at Hangout. Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yea. It was Psycho California. Pretty awesome time. Good to see my pals in Sleep and Om. Loads of good bands and caught up with some friends. Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well I made a 3-hour trek to Charlottesville for Beck and I'd do it again. My first Beck experience. He seemed determined to deliver a high energy fun show and he did. Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 i didn't get approved to shoot Beck, though. edit - my last ditch plea to the publicist has apparently succeeded! Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 no, but Beck's rather particular about photos i think (none of the press shooters could shoot his Newport Folk show from the pit, only production). and his PR firm (Nasty Little Man) is well known for artists having difficult releases (Foo Fighters, Jack White, etc).

knotgreen Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Sharon Van Etten, Tame Impala and Beck. Me too! How was SVE? I adore her, but I really, really hate Boston Calling. The venue/ crowd is a real deal breaker for me. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I really, really hate Boston Calling. The venue/ crowd is a real deal breaker for me. I've never been but it looks to me like it has to be the worst place ever to hold an all day and night music festival. My office is in a tower next door, and to look out on that plaza of concrete and brick makes me wonder how people can spend all that time standing on their feet there. I won't do it.

tinnitus photography Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 do other festivals have reclining chairs?it's not that horrible, and you can find a bench or step to sit on if gravity is becoming too much. despite the fact that a giant concrete monolith is a few hundred feet from the stage, the sound is actually pretty good (though the wind fucked around w/ it this weekend so far). SVE's set was good, Tame Impala a let down, Beck very good. yesterday the 1st 5-6 bands sucked aside from RTJ, and St Vincent was amazing. Harper was decent, and MMJ was good but played too much of the new one for me. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks for the review Tim. You going today also? I'd love to see Jason Isbell, but can't make it. Too bad, this likely means he otherwise won't be in the area for a while. Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 yeah i will be there again. btw, here's my full review of day 1:http://bigtakeover.com/concerts/boston-calling-spring-2015-day-1-with-beck-tame-impala-sharon-van-etten-boston-city-plaza-friday-may-22-2015 yesterday's bands did nothing for me until St Vincent got on (thought Run The Jewels was pretty good, all their songs sounded the same) but at least they made for arresting photography subjects. i am in love with Annie Clark, however. good goddamn can she shred and look amazing while doing it.

Beautiful sloppiness at the end. Would have gone to Mulaney if I was in Chicago Saturday (went to the UHF screening with Weird Al Wed which was great). How was JM? Link to post Share on other sites
Chez Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 ^^^ JM was hilarious -- new material. My wife works with and is friends with his mother which made it even more fun since he references his parents frequently. And the Hawks won! Link to post Share on other sites
