So I just found out im going (hotel has already been paid for) so kinda pumped. Ill finally get to see Broken Social Scene/Stars and Flaming Lips Live. I figure Ill skip Built to Spill since they are playing in raleigh this fall. Pumped about New Pornographers, Mates of State, Wilco, Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket, and the Shins. I wonder if the Frames are any good live. hmmmmm...Anybody else going?

Lucky.

I think i saw The Frames a few years ago and I think for one song the singer put a sack over his head with a skull face drawn on it.

I'm not sure about this.

7/28/2006 1:29:37 AM

ahah, i hope you are sure.

i was offered free tickets but it's too expensive for a flight up there
my girlfriend's sister manages a bloomingdales in chicago and lives in a building overlooking Grant Park, where it's going to be held.

7/28/2006 2:03:51 AM

I have some friends who are going, but I won't be able to make it.

7/28/2006 2:05:51 AM

We are driving the whole way. I figure I can get through arrested development season 2 on the way up and Ill get a couple of books for the way back (assuming i dont have to do any of the driving).

7/28/2006 2:09:12 AM

They still do those huh?

They jumped shark back when Hole headlined IMO.

7/28/2006 8:37:39 AM

too expensive

and im still bitter over all the dick moves this festival has pulled on me over the years

7/28/2006 9:17:01 AM

^^ sonic youth headlined that year..

7/28/2006 9:24:34 AM

^Sure enough. I don't remember them being a part of the tour but I just checked up on it. For me that doesn't make it a notable step up either way.

7/28/2006 9:33:24 AM

sonic youth is probably better than every band lollapalooza has ever had

except for pavement

7/28/2006 10:05:47 AM

^You must have missed the first 4 years or so. Plus wasn't Lollapalooza one of Soundgarden's last tours?

7/28/2006 10:09:58 AM

^oh Sonic Youth skull fucks every band the grunge area spit out. And one could debate that no one would even give a shit about grunge if it wasnt for Sonic Youth.

SET IT UP!

7/28/2006 11:24:57 AM

So im heading up there tomorrow. Anything special places in chicago that I should see during the morning or late at night?

If you hear somebody screaming CARRIE I WANT YOU INSIDE ME that would be me.

God damn, that was unbelievable good.

8/4/2006 11:51:36 AM

Im posting from the AT&T building at Lollapalooza waiting for andrew bird, shins, and then Broken Social Scene. I got some good pics of the flaming lips yesterday but ill just say that My Morning Jacket gave the most amazing performance. GODDAMN they are amazing live.

8/7/2006 10:44:54 AM

Save your money, the lineups a load up of newage rebel caca, (and kanye west?) except for Queens of the stone age, what are they doing around these faggots? This association is dropping them like a bomb.

I stayed as far away from this event as possible.

I've never seen so many slackers in their flip-flops and band shirts in my LIFE.... and that was just on the train ride to the Roosevelt stop (I went down to 79th to visit a friend this weekend).

8/7/2006 5:05:27 PM

slackers, lol

it was a lot of PEOPLE undoubtedly...some slackers, some whores, some nerds, and certainly some of the smartest people in all of Chicago

stereotypes will rape your puppies

8/7/2006 8:15:21 PM

Top 3 Shows that I saw:
1. Broken Social Scene Apparently everyone from the band was there but were only allowed to play for 45 minutes since the RHCP had to go on at 815 (of course they didnt start til 835). Everyone stayed for 20 minutes trying to get them to play at least one more song. They actually came out with their instruments but the stage manager told them not to play anymore.


2. Flaming Lips The opener Race For The Prize was the best song I heard over the weekend. Wayne so stepped on me in the bubble !


3. My Morning Jacket
