vampire weekend is officially my new favorite band. one of my new favorite hobbies is to dance freely to their music. which i am doing...now. they were so good.
favorite shows of the weekend:
1) vampire weekend - obviously, i've been ranting and raving about them for a long time. i just wish more people would've been there and the crowd would've gotten more involved
2)patty griffin - wow, this woman can sing. she's freakin' awesome. i'm glad i got to live in the same neighborhood with her for an entire year
3)priscilla ahn - girls, guitars, yes.
4) stars - OMG, talk about a great show. i love stars and they put on such a great show
5)okkervil river - probably the most fun show i went to all weekend long, it seems like they played for a really long time. the crowd was getting into it and that does a lot for the show. these guys are good!
overall, i had a blast at acl. if you notice, the three headliners are not listed because they suck and i didn't want to stay around for them. if it had been coldplay, death cab, etc., i would've camped out for it. ACL has potential to be the most bad A music festival around. i don't understand how lolla and ACL are run by the same company and lolla is one thousand times better. i know that radiohead never plays in the south because its too "hot" but this fall its actually been pretty cool and they would play at night so they should stop b-otching. plus, if we're shelling out 135 for a ticket, we expect something better than robert plant and allison krauss, let's be serious. i'd never heard of them before they came out on the line up. how many people ages 18-24 listen to them?
exactly.
also, we're #5 in the polls. i can feel it. we WILL beat ou. confidence baby.
