Saw sunn twice in a week, I don't get it. I mean its cool artistically but not worth getting a hipster boner over. lol i mean it wasn't even their idea in the first place...


As always I regret going to the metal shows at hopscotch and have the best time at the random shit someone tells me to go to.

Did anyone catch Oneida?

I'll post my shows attended in a bit, but I would love to point out that the Sunday night after Hopscotch sleeps are the greatest sleeps in the history of sleep

^Your face is in the top corner background of one of my dandeacon pics :3

9/10/2012 1:10:32 PM

ahh, missed it the first time around

awesome

listening to America as I check them out

anyways, hearing Matthew E. White's backup singers deliver the "Same Old Shit" line as soulfully as they did twice in less than 24 hours definitely did not suck

I've definitely got the post-Hopscotch blues

Wistfully looking at line-ups of day parties I wish I had had the time for

Krallum,

I caught the last few songs from Oneida at TNN. Didn't seem like many others did, but after the flow of Fireball and PBR, I seem to remember it being a pretty good way to end the last night of the festival. Especially coming off of that note they played at Sunn O))) for 20 minutes

9/10/2012 3:54:11 PM

in order:
Thursday: some opening swing band at Slim's, Phil Cook & His Feat, Lilac Shawdows, Charlie Parr, Matthew E. White and Roman Candle
Friday: Love Language Day Show, Built To Spill, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Left Outlet, Zach Mexico, Wowser Bowser, some of Zola Jesus i think, Killer Mike and like 60 seconds of Dan Deacon back to Slims to take a piss.
Saturday: Megafaun dayparty, The Roots, Birds of Avalon, Wye Oak

9/10/2012 7:31:18 PM

I think my favorite sets were Dan Deacon, nobunny, tow3rs, deerhoof, Lonnie walker, Wye oak, odonis odonis.

9/10/2012 9:42:50 PM

maybe they were different in their heyday, but built to spill played pretty similarly to when i saw them at cat's cradle a few years ago--not really high energy. doug martsch seemed kind of bored. so i can't say i was very surprised with their city plaza set.

i was also eating delicious mexican zpizza on the patio at the time as well. i really can't recommend it enough.

9/10/2012 10:25:26 PM

Built to spill was good for abt 30 minutes and then they bored me to tears

9/10/2012 10:41:33 PM

^^i was eating delicious thai zpizza during built to spill.

took a slower paced approach this year but still saw just about everyone i intended to plus some. called an audible thursday night after deciding to stay for the entire matthew e. white set (best decision of the weekend) and went to oh sees instead of liars. that was a lot of fun and a good change of pace after spending the earlier part of the night sitting at memorial/fletcher. how was liars?

really enjoyed all of the outdoor day parties this year. wasn't in love with the new love language lineup/songs, but still always fun to see them. megafaun and co. was great on saturday. so was the rain for allowing me to go to my friend's place and take a power nap before the roots.

zola jesus at lincoln was just as gorgeous as i expected. dan deacon just as wacky as i expected. wye oak as rocking a way to close the festival as i expected. can't wait for next year.

9/10/2012 10:53:58 PM

^ sounds like we had the exact same itinerary

9/10/2012 11:10:31 PM

then you have good taste, sir.

9/10/2012 11:16:47 PM

Liars were good, but that new record has so much sequenced stuff it's hard for them to dig into it. Left after four songs to see Oh Sees and don't regret it.

Speaking of, Thee Oh Sees are playing in Richmond with Ty Segall in a couple weeks. Shit's gonna be killer.

9/11/2012 1:27:36 AM

did anybody see john darnielle's (mountain goats) covers of metal songs?

9/11/2012 12:26:16 PM

no i fucking missed it and i heard he played Rainbow in the Dark
