While I like the lineup, I don’t know if it justifies going… Last year’s lineup was just so awesome that this may not be enough for me. My thoughts:
Keeping WSP: great idea.
Adding MMW, YMSB, The Rhythm Devils, Guster, Jurassic 5, and The Roots: awesome idea.
Adding Fiona Apple: enough to make me not attend. I’ve seen her live and it was the *worst* performance I believe I’ve ever seen by anyone over the age of 16.
Unlike 2005, I’m not a fan of a number of these “indie” artists. Last year’s selection was great, this year’s… let’s just say I don’t think it’s worth it to me.
Any other rumours/thoughts/commentary?
