4/11/2011 10:30:33 PM

Can someone be a pal and just pm me?

4/11/2011 10:31:02 PM

<---- can't handle the suspense!

4/11/2011 10:56:24 PM

it's linda ronstadt

4/11/2011 11:24:55 PM

Steppenwolf.

Eagles!

I would shit.
These guys put on a fucking AMAZING live show. Also, Worlds Apart might be a dinger.

That's a great track imo.

4/12/2011 3:35:41 PM

yes it is

also, Black Lips on thursday maybe?

4/12/2011 3:46:10 PM

7 days!

Forgot yesterdays letter, so you get a twofer today! I, M

4/13/2011 10:59:51 AM

Ok, so it's not brian wilson. Looks like the flaming lips. they're good, but I've seen them enough...

4/13/2011 11:27:58 AM

^ never seen them, but they are also playing the fillmore in charlotte this year

4/13/2011 11:44:43 AM

^ I was lucky enough to see them at the Cats Cradle on the Soft Bulletin tour. I've seen them a few other places (The Orange Peel, the Tabernacle, some park in Brooklyn). They definitely put on one of the best live shows I've ever seen, second only to Radiohead in my experience

4/13/2011 11:49:14 AM

hm. the dilemma with saturday night at hopscotch is that NCSU @ WF is that day. i plan on being there and drinking, so this could pose a travel problem. hmmmmmmmm

4/13/2011 11:51:12 AM

Can I get hints about the hip hop line up?

4/13/2011 12:17:07 PM

The band MAY or may not be an anagram for slim jeans. Just sayin...

4/13/2011 12:39:06 PM

Holy crap "lane jisms" are playing?

hoping the brooklyn siren is julianna barwick.

4/13/2011 9:43:12 PM

^ It's kind of misleading. It literally is just some guy from Williamsburg with a siren and a loop pedal.

4/13/2011 10:08:02 PM

i don't know if she's going to play fletcher, but i'm pretty sure she's going to be at hopscotch (barwick)

if the answer to that hint isn't her, it's little scream. i think both little scream and barwick will be there.

edit: actually, after doing some googling, i'm not sure little scream is from brooklyn. i think she's from montreal. it's probably barwick.

4/13/2011 10:14:29 PM

yeah I was wrong about that before, definitely is Barwick

4/13/2011 10:39:25 PM

Are we confirmed on Toro? The girl loves the dude, and we just gave up tickets for this Friday to see him...

4/14/2011 1:21:34 AM

yes

4/14/2011 1:33:45 AM

hell yeah, just won 2 all show wristbands on twitter! Ya think they'd be open to me paying the difference for VIP bands?

4/14/2011 5:47:36 PM

Your first name is Bronce?

4/14/2011 8:11:45 PM

Today's letter: A

4/14/2011 8:12:27 PM

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

[Edited on April 17, 2011 at 8:53 PM. Reason : lol]

4/17/2011 8:49:42 PM

so is there any doubt that this is flaming lips?

(by the way, thanks for the hints-- it's fun!)

[Edited on April 17, 2011 at 9:40 PM. Reason : k]

4/17/2011 9:40:12 PM

yes

4/17/2011 10:20:46 PM

oh wait so its not a new found glory? lol i haven't read this thread since like page 1 really

4/17/2011 10:30:10 PM

people are going to flip their shit in 3 days

4/17/2011 10:48:42 PM

They could honestly have Brett Michaels up there and I'd still buy tickets. I had so much fun last year giving Raleigh my money it was ridiculous. Met some kickass people. Good times, classic jams...

4/17/2011 10:56:11 PM

can't wait to see the full line-up

getting dangerously excited

4/17/2011 11:23:27 PM

there are going to be a ton of ecstatic old locals

4/17/2011 11:47:40 PM

hopefully that means Archers of Loaf are playing, because I totally forgot to wake up and buy tickets to that Cradle show yesterday

4/17/2011 11:57:15 PM

Shit, I knew I forgot something

4/18/2011 12:58:50 AM

HINT: you can also see them 5.17.2011 at the fillmore in charlotte

4/18/2011 10:01:24 AM

2 days left. Looking forward to the announcement although I am pretty sure I won't know 90% of the bands. It will allow me to start the long process of listening in preparation though!

4/18/2011 12:03:03 PM

I was just told I could upgrade my all show bands that I won to VIP for $50 each. So I guess those regular wristbands will be $110 if the VIPs are $160.

^ that's awesome that they'll post the line-up at midnight-- give us a bit of time to think things over before purchasing at 10

4/18/2011 1:21:37 PM

hopscotch wish list:

Childish Gambino
Odd Future (Earl Sweatshirt included)
The War on Drugs
Mirah
Andrew WK
Fang Island
Surfer Blood
The Thermals
The Strokes (playing from first two albums and "Under Cover of Darkness"/"Taken For a Fool" only)

some (certain) comics would be cool, too

[Edited on April 18, 2011 at 7:48 PM. Reason : ...]

4/18/2011 7:38:34 PM

do we really need time to think things over? I'd have bought them two months ago if I could
