^ i'll be coming in from out of town, and i have a conference in philly the monday after hopscotch weekend, so i def gotta think about it. otherwise it would be an automatic

4/18/2011 8:01:52 PM

motherfucking swans

how can you see the word swans and still be undecided

i would've bought tickets the day after last year's fest if i could, even if i had to fly in from and back to the phillipines

4/18/2011 8:14:33 PM

I may have to set foot in Deep South for the first time ever

4/18/2011 8:30:58 PM

I'll just be happy if they told bands like Luego and the Tomahawks that they can play day parties or not play at all. In fact, I would love to see that email or listen to that conversation...

4/19/2011 1:00:40 AM

14 hours for lineup

24 hours for ticket purchase

4/19/2011 10:16:36 AM

bands i would like to see:
-tuneyards (not gonna try to format that right)
-ponytail
-titus andronicus
-jens lekman
-YEEZY

That would be awesome

I'd also see anybody from Labrador Records (particularly Pelle Carlberg, The Radio Dept. or Sambassadeur)

[Edited on April 19, 2011 at 12:47 PM. Reason : also omg I am soooooooo excited for midnight now]

4/19/2011 12:47:31 PM

4/19/2011 10:04:52 PM

lineup is good but not as good as last year imo... I'd say temper expectations a bit

4/19/2011 10:32:14 PM

^ugh don't disappoint me like that.

yeah, but the Saturday headliner.... that alone was better than any headliner last year.

of course, I'm also not a fan of BSS, No Age and Panda Bear is hit or miss. I enjoyed the mid-level acts far more than any of those 3.

4/19/2011 10:50:46 PM

how does everyone know the goddamn lineup

4/19/2011 10:59:28 PM

JUST GIVE US ONE MORE BEFORE MIDNIGHT

4/19/2011 11:06:06 PM

we're all in Skulls and Bones

4/19/2011 11:06:19 PM

JUST TELL US IF MAX INDIAN IS REUNITING

4/19/2011 11:07:54 PM

meanies

45 minutes is simply too long

4/19/2011 11:14:08 PM

I keep hearing a rumor that Eagle Eye Cherry is headlining one of the days.

4/19/2011 11:19:07 PM

I saw the whole lineup. Definitely some really cool shit just feel like last year's lineup was a little deeper and more accessible.

4/19/2011 11:26:39 PM

What is 26 minutes in alt time?

less accessible than Panda Bear?

that was a bold headliner, imho. that's no slight on Panda Bear, as he was obviously in demand, but Panda Bear/Animal Collective are pretty polarizing. (love/hate with most peeps)

4/19/2011 11:40:53 PM

Panda Bear and AC have a HUGE following with younger kids though

4/19/2011 11:57:45 PM

they're definitely going older this year

4/19/2011 11:59:25 PM

^, ^^ yeah, the headliners seem like they aren't geared towards the young people this year

even the flaming lips, while fucking awesome, started in the mid-80s

Guided by Voices? Fuck yes.

I'm pretty stoked.

4/20/2011 12:09:07 AM

solid

already counted 20 bands I plan on seeing



[Edited on April 20, 2011 at 12:11 AM. Reason : ahhhhhh]

4/20/2011 12:09:37 AM

guided by voices played at my local irish bar on st patty's day

of course. i live in dayton. which is where gbv also live.

4/20/2011 12:10:45 AM

Most of my favorite local bands.

Including Bombadil and Lost in the Trees, both bands I adore.

And Flaming Lips are indeed headlining.

I like this. I didn't like Panda Bear or No Age that much, and I love me some Flaming Lips.

4/20/2011 12:11:01 AM

when can you buy tickets?

4/20/2011 12:11:09 AM

10AM, right?

Goddamn guys, now I want VIP.

It's so worth it, right?

4/20/2011 12:14:11 AM

pc worship will burn your fucking mind off. favorite live band around.

but not Flannagan's, right?

4/20/2011 12:15:45 AM

I took Tommy Wiseau's advice, as I still think we're on similar levels with current music tastes, and softened the blows of the list a tad. I'm not totally disappointed, but on that poster, after halfway down, I'm just all...sigh...

4/20/2011 12:15:56 AM

the lineup is out so it's no longer cool to talk about it

4/20/2011 12:16:24 AM

J Mascis and The Flaming Lips make it all worthwhile to me - the rest is just icing on the awesome cake

4/20/2011 12:18:06 AM

Eh...pretty solid, but i'm a little disappointed, too

No Titus Andronicus...wonder what happened with that.

4/20/2011 12:20:45 AM

what happened to titus andronicus?

4/20/2011 12:20:58 AM

they added some folks as time went on last year --- perhaps they'll do the same this year, or is that the definitive list?

4/20/2011 12:24:14 AM

i'm sure the list will change a little

4/20/2011 12:26:47 AM

^ i dunno... in that article they clearly say that the festival will include 135 bands, and that is how many bands i counted in the current list. also, last year it clearly said from the beginning that more bands would be announced. i assume they were still fleshing out the line-up but needed to go ahead and start selling tickets. this being the second year, they could have everything in place.

i gotta say, i'm disappointed. last year, i was excited about nearly every other band. there are so many bands i was expecting/ hoping to see in this year's line-up that aren't there (e.g., titus a., okkervil river, deerhunter, woods, to name a few).

4/20/2011 12:48:09 AM

Expected more Merge bands since they're sponsoring the damned thing...

well that's your fault, isn't it

just don't buy tickets if you're disappointed

it's easy
