After repeated delays, the Langerado festival in Miami announced its lineup this morning. They somehow decided that Death Cab, Snoop, and Thievery Corporation would be good headliners.

Thievery Corporation are still around? Wow.

 

That Metallica video was actually pretty good.

To the A.V. club-you are terrible at explaining why you love these albums. Also, ugh, "Hipster Hop"? Really? At least I have least essential to look forward too (those are usually pretty good.)

The new Common album is horrible.

It's pretty bad. I heard a good chunk of it on XM radio this weekend. But perhaps I'm not the right judge. Common's been pissing me off since he really amped up his conscious rapper persona post-Be. We could also attribute the shittiness of present-day Neptunes for the overall lousy product that is Common's album.

That Super Deluxe edition looks pretty sweet, but I don't have a record player, so the LP's are kinda useless to me. I'll end up getting the regular Deluxe edition.

Is anyone else interested enough in the "alt.country" genre to discuss it separately? Please note that I do not like the name "alt.country", but seems to be the most recognized describer.

 

I'm thinking about this while re-discovering the Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass and remembering how I love it so.

I took a quick glance at the Rock Band Draft and I can no longer argue for this folder being more inclusive. Yeesh.

 

 

Dio and Journey being picked in the first round? The Beach Boys and The Byrds haven't been picked but Poison has!? Befuddling and upsetting even by wrestling board music draft standards.

Found this blog while searching for any sort of information on a song called "The Trains" by a band called The Nashville Ramblers. Check that song out, but also listen to the wealth of other unheard songs, many of which have never been issued on CD. (That Nashville Ramblers song is featured on a Rhino box set, which is how I heard it.)

 

Here's a direct link to the song I was talking about.

Are the Avett Brothers "alt.country"? I fucking love the Avett Brothers.

After hearing "The Wrestler" I am very much looking forward to Bruce Springsteen's 'Working on A Dream'.

 

I really wouldn't expect the rest of the album to sound too similar, I'd expect most of it be along the lines of another "Magic." "The Wrestler" will be released as a bonus track on the CD, however.

I'm telling you, Miami has the absolute worst taste in music, considering its diversity.. (or maybe because of it)

I don't know. 95% of rap artists don't seem like they'd be good fits to headline festivals. I mean, most of 'em just stand on stage with their massive posses and just shout a minute of each song on their setlist. Maybe well suited for a club or theater but not for a festival with 50,000 people in the audience.

 

Though I have to say Snoop is probably the best out of the headliners listed. A Death Cab For Cutie concert sounds ungodly boring and I'm not sure if I've ever heard a Thievery Corporation song (not a knock on them- just saying I haven't heard any of their stuff). Looking at the rest of the bands scheduled, it appears they picked the lineup out of a hat.

That is pretty cool, but it seems kind of excessive.

This is pretty correct. I've seen Snoop twice and have been happy both times.

 

I had the honor of seeing Death Cab on the same bill as Franz Ferdinand. They somehow decided to have Death Cab close after Franz Ferdinand absolutely killed it for 60 amazing minutes... needless to say I walked out of the concert about 10 minutes after Death Cab started. This also doubled the horror because I got to see a bunch of dorky hard looking frat guys swaying to this gay chick rock with their girlfriends. I wanted to die.

so I recently realized that i've really gotten into Nine Inch Nails lately, and it is all because of the NIN website. I've download, at last count 23 remixes, and I'm enjoying the hell out of them. I also bought the Ghosts album cause, well, its 5 bucks.

 

Is there any other bands doing something like this? It's a great way to discover new music, atleast for me
