8/5/2010 3:30:58 PM

no, but in raleigh i was totally destroying it is releasing their new 80s pop inspired single at tir na nog.

8/5/2010 4:23:29 PM

i really don't understand what they're going for with that thing

I got the girlfriend Belle and Sebastian tickets. I can't believe I've never seen them live before! I'm also debating about whether or not to see Menomena in late Sept. It's going to be a bitch trying to see any weekday show during the school year.

8/7/2010 2:43:52 AM

Where is Belle and Sebastian playing? Anywhere in NC?

8/7/2010 12:35:46 PM

My bad. I should have mentioned I live near Boston now.

8/7/2010 12:45:42 PM

Thought I missed an announcement somewhere. Bummer.

8/7/2010 1:31:39 PM

we got added to a hopscotch day party

therefore i will claim we are opening for the war on drugs

8/8/2010 4:51:26 PM

Sufjan Stevens @ Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville 11/7

Wonder if he puts on a good live show

8/10/2010 1:38:48 PM

i saw him in 2006ish (maybe 2007) and it was really great.

was a seated show at a theater, but had a large backing band, all with butterfly wings on their backs.

annie clark (st. vincent) was playing with him, dunno if she still tours with him.

side note: im currently trying to transfer jobs. there's a ton of great shows coming up this fall that i dont want to buy tickets for because i dont know if ill still be near philadelphia and it bums me out.

I wish I knew about them and BNL last week. I hear about these things last minute

"MoogFest in Asheville, NC on Halloween weekend looks like it should be pretty sweet. http://www.moogfest.net/ Artists announced so far for it: MGMT, Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Big Boi, Jonsi, Caribou. Full lineup coming August 10"

anyone else feel like the lineup and ticket prices for this aren't matching up?

8/10/2010 6:40:08 PM

it might be a little steep, but it's not out of line

i mean, the weekend pass is $150

you could easily pay that to see MGMT/Big Boi and Massive Attack/Hot Chip on individual shows

not to mention Panda Bear, Caribou, El-P, Matmos, Dan Deacon, Girl Talk, etc.

8/10/2010 6:56:14 PM

^only of those acts i really get excited about seeing are hot chip, caribou, panda bear, and mgmt. with all of them playing on different days, i'd be spending roughly $40 per to see two acts i've already seen.

when you compare it to the hopscotch lineup (more shows period and higher quality artist list) and ticket prices (a lot cheaper), hopscotch wins in a landslide. perhaps i'm just spoiled by that.

8/10/2010 7:16:35 PM

That lineup is pretty solid for what they're going for, and I'd say $150 might be a little high, but it's not too high;I honestly would've been shocked if ticket prices were announced and they were under $100. That said, I probably won't go because of the ticket price, I was only gonna go if they were illogically cheap tix.

I will say the one glaring hole in the lineup is LCD Soundsystem, especially with Hot Chip on the lineup but not LCD. I bet they tried hard to get him.

Then perhaps you should go to a different festival.

I will agree that the price is a bit higher than I'd be willing to play, but you also have to consider they're getting a lot of big acts into a podunk mountain town to play, which may come at a premium. These tickets aren't a deal, but they're not a rip, either.

8/10/2010 7:44:21 PM

asheville is podunk?

8/10/2010 8:02:07 PM

Relative to Deal's Gap, no. Relative to Charlotte, absolutely.

8/10/2010 8:19:46 PM

phosphorescent is playing a free show up the street tonight

but i cannot go.

this irritates me.

8/11/2010 11:03:02 AM

Not sure how the hell I missed this, but

NOVEMBER 6

CAT'S CRADLE

MAN OR ASTROMAN?

fuuuuuuccccckkkkkkkkk yeeeessssssssssss

8/11/2010 11:06:13 PM

The more I look at the Moogfest lineup, the more I want to go. Heard that LCD might be added to the Sunday night lineup. If I'm being unbiased, I think Moogfest will be a better festival all-around than Hopscotch. Hopscotch is obviously the better bargain, though.

8/12/2010 3:56:53 PM

moogfest is more coherent for sure, but that's the beauty of the hopscotch lineup

if for some reason i'm feeling really good stoner metal instead of three minute jangle songs, i can go find it

moogfest doesn't offer that kind of variety

8/12/2010 4:02:16 PM

No, it doesn't offer variety, but if you're looking for a deliriously fun Halloween weekend, hard to top the Moogfest lineup. As long as you're into various forms of electronic music. But, agreed, they both have their advantages.

8/12/2010 4:23:32 PM

Moogfest put up a facebook post that they have some lineup additions that they will announce tomorrow morning. People on facebook are clamoring for Daft Punk, but that's not happening. I'd say LCD will be the big one.

8/12/2010 8:46:23 PM

i definitely want to go to Moogfest. just spending a weekend in Asheville is fun, this will be great.

8/12/2010 9:03:39 PM

if it's daft punk, i will buy tickets immediately

i'm not big on asheville, but come on

8/12/2010 9:07:19 PM

wow, i'm really surprised to hear that. you're the first person i've heard say they don't really like asheville. not passing judgment, just surprised. but yeah, if it's daft punk, i will be going (and ticket sales will go way up, way quicker). but it's not daft punk.

8/12/2010 9:12:57 PM

i like being in the mountains

and i appreciate the fact that it's a place with a lot of different things going on

but the vibe of the town just doesn't sit right with me...can't describe it very well, sorry

also, giant public drum circle in the middle of the town

8/12/2010 9:29:47 PM

still don't get how Pretty Lights gets all these big gigs

it's like electronic music for people who don't like electronic music

so boring

8/12/2010 9:47:21 PM

^truth

8/12/2010 9:50:08 PM

^^It's a great party IMO. To each his own I guess. I like Pretty Lights.




and FUCK YES Toubab Krewe is playing tomorrow night @ The Pour House

8/12/2010 10:42:23 PM

^^^ (most) stoners don't know any better

8/13/2010 12:21:42 AM

Moogfest additions: Devo, Disco Biscuits, Bonobo, Van Dyke Parks (?!?!?!?!)

8/13/2010 11:56:10 AM

van dyke parks?

what the fucking fuck

8/13/2010 12:44:31 PM

that's what i said...then i immediately made sure there wasn't some electronic act that took on the pseudonym of van dyke parks that i was unaware of. but nope, it's THE van dyke parks. very bizarre.

maybe they confused van dyke parks with armin van buuren haha
