The Lemonheads are fun. Especially when Juliana Hatfield shows up.

[Guest Felonies!]

Hey, remember Maroon 5? They broke up, right?

[snuffbox 0]

Yeah, I don't think so.

Melee is one of the best pop bands in the country.

They have an album produced IIRC by Rick Rubin coming out late this year/early next year.

 

 

Is there any band Rick Rubin won't produce?

At the American V-Festival in Baltimore...RHCP will headline over the remnants of The Who.

How is Method Man live in concert? I'm going to be picking up tickets today to see him on October 30th, and I'm psyched.

I really, REALLY hate Phil Anselmo for breaking Pantera up.

 

Don't kill anyone.

Meth puts on a good show. He usually crowd surfs and some other crazy shit. If Redman is a guest, you're in for a damn good show.

This is the response from the Wakarusa Festival after this summer's pathetic spectacle where the local and fedral authorities spend a ton of cash/time to round up a bunch of 'dangerous criminals'. The whole thing is just sad. America is currently under complete Republican (conservative) rule yet its alright to waste millions of dollars on these kinds of ideas. This belongs in music, as it affects the future of a popular music festival...but its a political issue as well, and an ugly one at that.

 

Wakarusians:

As many of you know, there were law enforcement and accompanying security issues at this year's event. Some of these issues continue to make headlines, and regrettably, create controversy. As organizers of the festival, it is very disappointing that these issues have taken away from what otherwise has been a highly praised and truly special event. We cannot tell you how truly sorry we are that these issues occurred at Wakarusa this year and we sincerely apologize to everyone for any violations of your rights and privacy.

 

To give you some background, we were informed that there would be an increased law enforcement presence at this year's event. Initially, we were supportive of this when it was presented as an effort to increase the safety of everyone in attendance. It became apparent however that enforcement, not safety and security, was the true mission of the increased law enforcement. We must make it perfectly clear that we did not know of any of the specific measures, tactics or instruments the various law enforcement agencies used at the event. More importantly, Wakarusa does not believe such tactics and equipment were necessary and does not support their use.

 

If there are not significant assurances that similar procedures won't materialize in the future, we will not host another Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival. There is simply no justification for these types of tactics to be used on an otherwise courteous and peaceful crowd. These actions are not what Wakarusa is about. Wakarusa has always taken pride in being a fan friendly event – we like to say, "a festival for music fans by music fans" and we mean it to our core. Wakarusa is a special event hosted in a very special setting and we do appreciate the vision of those local officials who allow Wakarusa to exist and to flourish. The festival has also benefited dozens of charities and not for profit groups. In the future, we hope to expand our mission of supporting great endeavors such as environmental causes, sustainable living models, and music education. In essence, this is an event that deserves everyone's respect and support.

 

We are searching for moral, political and legal support to help us resolve the issues we all faced this year. As before, we will continue to listen to your concerns and work with the authorities to make Wakarusa an event we all can be proud of. Our annual mission is to make Wakarusa one of the best, safest and most enjoyable events in the country. We sincerely appreciate your loyal support during the past three years and we hope we can maintain your trust and respect as we work through our growing pains.

 

Thank you for your support,

 

Brett Mosiman

Justin Timberlake & T.I.: "My Love." As good as "What You Know." I don't think it's been a great year for big, huge singles in terms of quantity, but the ones at the top have been absolutely fantastic.

I agree with this statement. Though, if push came to shove, I'd probably give "What You Know" a slight edge. Those synths just destroy.

[godthedog 0]

saying "the murder mystery" is better than "new age" is like saying "revolution 9" is better than "eleanor rigby."

 

well, really not quite, cause "eleanor rigby" is way better than "new age" and "the murder mystery" is better than "revolution 9." but it still is sort of like that.

[Guest Felonies!]

Shucks, I was looking forward to a godthedog music post and ya slammed me.

No way.

what you know is better. but my love shows why in november jay z needs to dethrone t.i. as the hottest rapper right now. what a great song.

[Guest Felonies!]

Okay, Curry, new Emily Haines album, how is it?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Good. More BSS-Haines and less Metric-Haines. Infinitely better then Amy Milans solo effort but Emily is still no Feist.

[Guest Felonies!]

I like "Our Hell" a lot. I just started listening.

The upcoming release of Limp Bizkit's greatest hits album can only bring us closer to Forty-One Licks: The Very Best of Sum 41.

Limp Bizkit's greatest hits album

[Guest Felonies!]

Knives Don't Have Your Back:

 

Above average, but doesn't really have much replay value for me. The first song is cool, but everything after "Our Hell" kinda runs together into a giant morass of midtempo whole notes on piano and samey vocal treatment. Some interesting little turns of phrase pop up now and then but the rest is just stuff that's vaguely artsy-girl, for lack of a better term. Let it Die is better.

 

Lyrical low point: "Bros before hoes." GROAN.

 

EDIT: "Mostly Waving" is interesting, but the preceding six tracks take you into such aural wallpaper mode that you're not really paying attention to any neat chords and things.

I decided I can still listen to and enjoy Street Hassle, so there's a Lou Reed album I still like. The title track is glorious, in particular.

[Guest Felonies!]

I haven't heard Street Hassle yet, but it must be better than Coney Island Baby and Sally Can't Dance, I mean reaally.

[Annabelle 0]

i like coney island baby. didn't try the latter, though. didn't sound interesting to me. street hassle is neat. but i was only tipped off to it when the title track was in squid & the whale.
