Lollapalooza rolled out its schedule today. We already knew who was playing . Now we know when they're playing. For 90 bucks a day, I'd like to see a robust lineup that I can get excited about from noon till close.

Photo by Lastnitesparty Just saw this bro front row at a MSTRKRFT show wearing a MSTRKRFT mask. Kinda reminded me of the past. One time some lil altbro wore a mask of theirs, and then some time when an authentic bro wore a non-golden mask to prove that he was their biggest fan. Still trying to figure out if it is 'kewl' to wear a band's t-shirt to their concert/show. Feel like it was something that entry-levels do, but I [...]
