The Bonnaroo lineup is still a week away from being announced, but you just read the early surprise. The Flaming Lips will play a 'regular' set at the midnight slot on Thursday, then at 2:30 a.m. will play DSOTM. If the words 'Flaming Lips' and 'Dark Side of the Moon' surprised you in the same sentence, you must not know that they released it as an album back in December with Stardeath and White Dwarfs. The last time the Flaming Lips played Bonnaroo was 2007, THE YEAR BEFORE I STARTED GOING. Well, here's for redemption. Hopefully [...]
(click to enlarge) I'm not going 'cause I'm an east-coaster, but I have to say, if I lived anywhere near California I would so go to this. Just for fun, here's a quick list of people I would HAVE to see, granted I only know about 60-70% of the lineup: Flying Lotus 2ManyDJ's (Soulwax) Pretty Lights Portugal. The Man The Dead Weather (Jack Black, Alison Mosshart, more) Deerhunter De La Soul Gorillaz more info at coachella.com Related posts: [...]
Just caught this over at PBS . In this ~intimate venue they're a little more relaxed, starting the set off with a couple slow ones. They pick up the pace though as you'd expect, and the overall effect makes good for background music for whatever. I saw a decent amount of their set at Bonnaroo two years ago, and I have to say they are great live. I had to leave early so I could be front row for Lupe and Talib though (which happened! I have pics to prove it... [...]
For the past two years, the band has been working on a 'visual album', and it's set to debut this January at the Sundance Film Festival . Guitarist/singer Avey Tare had the following to say about it: "It's kinda like a psychedelic film , it's not like a narrative film or anything... There are more cohesive moments in it, but then there are some that are a little more abstract." "We tried to make the music go along with the visuals as much as possible... We didn't want it to sound just like a soundtrack, [...]

As usual, the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is going down the second weekend of June in Manchester, TN and although it's way too early for any artist announcements, they've decided to put up their pre-sale early for the holidays: 11/27 at noon . if you are pretty sure you're going to go, I highly recommend buying your ticket early. If you can't go, you can always sell your ticket on eBay. They usually sell for face value right around the time of the festival. No info on prices yet, so just mark your calendars and head [...]
Bradford Cox of Deerhunter played an hour long set yesterday evening to a small crowd of about 30-40, and I was lucky enough to be there! It was free (thanks to a sponsorship by the Kia Sou l) so I'm surprised it wasn't crowded... I found out about it through Atlanta's Tight Bros. network, which apparently is pretty small. Here are a few pictures from the show: (my internet is being really slow, i'm posting them, come back soon!) And a [...]
On Nov. 3, Sub Pop is releasing a remastered version of Bleach to celebrate it's 20th year.

After Nine Inch Nails finished their epic Lights In The Sky tour featuring a ridiculous light show if you want to call it that (screen show would probably be a better word), Interscope denied a DVD of the whole thing . For what reason is anybody's guess because the videos I've seen are just astounding. All instruments were played live, again the light show was ridiculous, and the result was.. well, just see for yourself: On a post to the NIN forums a few months ago, Trent Reznor informed us of 405gb of [...]
