Ok, I've just realized that I haven't been blogging, because for whatever reason I feel like I can't resume normal blogging habits until I finish the damn Lolla recap. Which I probably never will in detail, so I am going to talk strictly about the music in a nutshell.
Day 2 (Saturday)
Margot & the Nuclear So & So's: Got there just in time to hear my fave song Skeleton Key and maybe 3 more. They were good :)
The Ting Tings: Effing RULED!! <3 <3 <3
MGMT: Not as absolutely awesome as I thought they would be, but I was also pretty far back and still reeling about how super wonderful the Ting Tings were.
Spank Rock: They killed it. I hadn't heard them before, but I loved them. Their album isn't nearly as good as they were live.
Jamie Lidell: I'm not a super fan of him, but he ruled live! Also way better than his albums.
Lupe Fiasco: I skipped Broken Social Scene for him and wished I hadn't. The sound was horrible and he was just ok. Although he had on an awesome suit with awesome shoes.
Rage Against the Machine: Words cannot express. They are super powerful live if you can get beyond the crazy moshing fratties. They had to stop the show a bunch of times because people were getting smashed and trampled. But they killed it!! See my myspace/facebook for vids.
Day 2 was perfect weatherwise, and after seeing RATM, we were all riled up and ready to party so we headed to Smart Bar for some dancing. We originally going to go there to see both Kaskade and Jevne, but Kaskade canceled, but we still got to see Jev which was awesome! Out all night, dance dance dance.
Day 3 (Sunday)
Brazilian Girls: Super fun, super cute, loved it.
Chromeo: RULED. Need I say more?
Black Kids: Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Iron & Wine: Wish I could see him in a smaller ven, cuz I heart.
Gnarls Barkley: I listened/watched the jumbotron while laying in the grass under a tree waiting for Becky to pee. It was not as awesome as one would have expected. I will stick to the album.
Girl Talk: All of a sudden everyone's a fan and I could neither see nor move. He apparently did all of his usual antics, but I could only hear. Sounded good, wish I could have moved a bit and wish people weren't just standing stoicly all around me.
Nine Inch Nails: Ok, so I had to decide between NIN and Kanye. I started at NIN, listened to one song, and then was keenly yearning for my boy Kanye and had to hightail it across the park. I hear NIN was awesome tho.
Kanye West: I love him. And I loved Lolla.
Well that was fun reminiscing, but I'm glad I can get back to posting my little tidbits that I usually do. I'm sure you're glad too as you've obviously been missing me. ;)
