pixies. weezer. and killers. oh my!

T-minus 2 days until Lollapalooza. I'm pretty excited about the lineup they were able to gather for this. It'll still never be what is was (but then again, nothing ever is), but this year's 2 day festival looks pretty damn pimptastic to me. It's going to be great to see Dinosaur Jr. back together as well as watching grunge's idol the pixies rock with their cawk out again (they still got it, even though Kim Deal looks like she could be my best friend's mom).

Here's the list of bands that i will be looking forward to seeing:

Saturday
Liz Phair (i pray she doesn't play too much of her new avril lavinge-esque crap. Break out some old skewl whipsmart)
Dashboard Confessional (yes, because your hair is everywhere, and i need more tears for my wristband to soak up)
The Bravery
Billy Idol (How could i pass this up?)
VHS or Beta (there's an asian in the band, I've gotta support that)
The Pixies (HEY! Been trying to meet you....)
Weezer (Geek rawk at it's best. Please put on a better live show though.)

Sunday

Dinosaur Jr. (i feel the pain of everyone...)
Tegan and Sara (yes, i like them. plus they sound pretty cute)
the arcade fire
the killers (let's dance!)
death cab for cutie

Bands that I wish I could see, but can't due to a better band playing:

Cake
Primus (i just wanna see mr. les c. rock that bass)
Z-Trip
Digable Planets
G Love and Special Sauce
The Dandy Warhols

Band that I have no desire of seeing:

Widespread Panic (even though i know they put on a hell of a live show, i just don't like them)

I'm hoping for good weather, good beer, and good tunes. I'll check ya when i get back.
