Dec 26, 2012, 10:48pm The Wounded Jukebox

Our good friend and frequent TWJ contributor Cole has the good fortune to live in New York City, and the even greater fortune to attend a remarkable amount of concerts throughout the five boroughs every year. Since this year was filled with enjoyable shows, he decided to run down a list of his favorites he [...]

Summer 2012 – Florence, The Walkmen, Sigur Ros, Black Mountain

Sep 29, 2012, 8:35pm A Reminder

It's been a crazy summer. So crazy I no longer live in Vancouver. Amanda and I have returned to Sydney, Australia for the foreseeable future...more on that later I suppose as the show reviews roll in. But before we left Vancouver we managed to see some shows this summer. First up, we saw Florence + The Machine and The Walkmen at Deer Lake Park back in July. Amanda is a pretty big fan of Florence so this was a show that was definitely her bag. I went along knowing I'd at least [...]

LOLLAPALOOZA 2012 RECAP

Aug 15, 2012, 5:24pm the WILD honey pie

Photo Credit: Andrew St. Clair 21 years after its inception, Lollapalooza is a festival that does most things right. For quite a while, it's been in a very convenient area and has an excellent line-up, even compared with competing fests such as Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Outside Lands. When done right, a great festival includes bands for everyone, and Lollapalooza does this to near perfection. Among the headliners: Jack White and Red Hot Chili Peppers , Justice , Kaskade , Bassnecter and Santigold [...]

Outside Lands 2012 In Photos

Aug 13, 2012, 6:19pm Groove Radio PT

Stereogum Over the weekend, thousands of fans flocked to this year's Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park. Overcast and chilly weather was offset by the fire from the Metallica pyrotechnics and warm vibes from festival attendees. Neil Young & Crazy Horse turned up their guitars to close out Friday, Metallica blew everyone away with their hellfire on Saturday, and Stevie Wonder dazzled with his barrage of hits to on Sunday. Some of the other highlights included Jack White's impromptu set in the midst of the trees, [...]

Lollapalooza 2012 Coverage - Day 3 Sunday, August 5

Aug 10, 2012, 4:30pm Fake Plastic Tunes

And so it all came down to this: the final day of Lollapalooza 2012. There was so much anticipation for the weekend, and it all came to a culmination on Sunday, August 5. I decided after the previous day's debacle, it was probably in my best interest to catch as much music as I could; sort of a 'don't take anything for granted' situation. Not only that, but Sunday was filled with a few of my favorite bands, new and old. [...]

Lollapalooza 2012 Review: Day Three

Aug 10, 2012, 4:18pm Bears and Bullets

Sunday, August 5 was a steady continuation of the current drought in the Midwest. The sun was high in a bleakly open sky. The park was sun-dried, putrefying the baseball fields and grass into a off-putting mud that rivaled Bonnaroo . And the night was set for the biggest acts of the entire weekend; Jack White and Justice . But more so than anything else on my mind was the imminent end of not only my weekend, but possibly my tenure at Lollapalooza . If it would be the final day - the truly final [...]

Lollapalooza Day 3 Review: Of Monsters and Men, The Devil Makes Three, Sigur Ros, The Walkmen, August 5, Chicago

Aug 9, 2012, 9:49am The Panic Manual

Winner of Lollapalooza Sunday : Of Monsters and Men. Let me explain to you how amazing Of Monsters and Men are: I was bled on, copiously, by a stranger while waiting for this set to start, and yet I ended it with a ginormous grin on my face. They’re that good. Having read Ricky’s post in April about their show at the Phoenix Theater, I knew that I needed to experience the magic. Sure enough, approximately 20 seconds into their set, I already had that warm, fuzzy feeling in my stomach. Lead singers Hilmarsdóttir and ÞórhallssonI [...]

Lollapalooza 2012 Day Three Recap

Aug 7, 2012, 4:50pm loudloop

And that's a wrap! Lollapalooza 2012... 1:30 p.m.: Polica Photo by Richard Giraldi When Polica (that's Poe-Lisa) kicked off their early afternoon set, their shadowy dance vibes filled with dub beat seemed more fitting for a damp, dark club at two in the morning than a glorious Chicago summer day. But the band didn't seem to mind bathing in the slight warm sun and really got the early fest goers moving with their crawling, mud-thick basslines [...]

Lollapalooza 2012 Coverage: Preview

Jul 21, 2012, 7:51pm Fake Plastic Tunes

It still amazes me that I am going to Lollapalooza this year in Chicago. And now it's only a mere two weeks away. So it is my journalistic duty to attempt to encompass everything that I will be doing that weekend - from the food and drink, to the after parties, to the shows themselves. This will be a weekend to remember, and it's needless to say I probably won't be getting too much sleep from August 3-5. [...]

Jul 3, 2012, 2:54pm Fake Plastic Tunes

We're about halfway through the year 2012 and we've been provided with some unbelievably great albums thus far. We here at FPT have compiled our own individual lists and came up with a strange amalgam of albums that we each consider to be called "The Best of 2012" Below you will find a format which sets up a separate list for "Best Album of 2012" but dependent on how many of our individual writers included it in their list. Therefore, the more writers who included it on their list, the higher on this aggregate list it is. [...]
