After last class, I am very upset that I can't see Thao & the Get Down Stay Down. I loved them in class and am listening to them right now! The indie/Asian/banjo sound is really unique but I can't abandon my spot in front of the AMD stage. Yes, I'm waiting for Vampire Weekend all day. Yes, I've seen them twice before. It's fine. However, staying at the AMD stage means I get to see the Court Yard Hounds, which will be pretty great. They're super chill and even though you may have some reservations, I'm excited. I really like them because I grew up with the Dixie Chicks (yes, I do like their cover of "Landslide" don't kill me). After that comes Fun. I really have no desire to see Fun. but since I'll be there anyway, I may as well make the most of it, right? Next comes Vampire Weekend, and no matter how many times I hear them I will never get tired of it. I first heard "A-Punk" when my dad showed me early on, and I've been an avid fan ever since. The new album has some really great tracks that add a fresh twist to their old sound. After Vampire Weekend I will sprint to the Arctic Monkeys, who I really like and I'm so sad that I'm missing them, but I can still catch the last 30 minutes. All will be well. They have a cool British rock sound that I think you'll like, here are some of my favorites:
"Do I Wanna Know?"
"Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?" (this one rocks; it's my favorite so far)
"I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor"
here's a live version, since I know you like those---
After the Arctic Monkeys I'll stop by Purity Ring. They have a really cool song called Fineshrine
here it is live-- he has this table thing that looks awesome...
