roach-motella vol. 2

Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, Mew, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Broken Social Scene and The Strokes.

Obviously, I am being realistic here. If I was shooting for the moon I would be asking for Christie Front Drive, Philip Glass and Kanye West headlining... Or you know, other people. I also definitely have my rose colored glasses on, as I am ignoring such obvious picks as Best Coast, No Age, Waavvveessss, Surfer Blood, Sleigh Bells, and Girls.

Even if my wishes don't come true, that is fine. After all, I just saw Dashboard and Saves the Day play acoustic sets. And, I mean, look at this Dashboard setlist, I don't think you will find a better one. And to add to the nostalgia, I am seeing Thursday next week. After that, of course, is Olafur, The Radio Dept, Godspeed, The Appleseed Cast and finally Mogwai.

Oh... this is just renders the previous two paragraphs useless...

Kings of Leon? Seriously... headliners?

Anyways,
Friday: Pains of Being Pure at Heart, The Morning Benders
Saturday: Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Bright Eyes, Broken Social Scene, The New Pornographers, The Radio Dept, Delta Spirit, Freelance Whales
Sunday: Kanye West, The Strokes, Jimmy Eat World 

What are you looking forward to?

Well, I guess that doesn't matter much, does it?

That Dashboard setlist is a dream, man. I really wish I was there. (I know he would see me singing along...)

All off thoseee ones you listed, and death from above because I never got to see them in high school. I just wish Obits could play at Coachella!

So guys, we're all going, and we're all sharing a hotel. Yes? Yes.

Joe, I think you really would hav liked the thick neck bro we were standing next to at the show, he really let his inner emo out. But nobody appreciated freKing Chris conley!



Jeff Micklos • January 19th 2011 • Reply
omg Joe, how did we both miss the best performer yet!? Look on Saturday... right after The Twelves.

Anyways, yeah, I hope this years schedule will look like last years, in that we are able to drive up late friday because there is no one good playing and that we don't wake up early to see second-rate acts. A hotel will be shared, I imagine and I am hoping we will be able to get it earlier so it will be cheaper and nicer. And have more than one bed...

Joe, did you say that you won't be able to go Sunday? I disagree with that.

lol, yes, clearly the best band there. although, the trend of double-letter bands is disturbing: the xx, jj, ee. the next logical step is pp, which unlike the other names, i am totally down for.

and no, what i meant by my facebook status was that they will probably double-book kanye and the strokes so they will be playing at the same time. we'd have to choose who to see instead of seeing both of them. conundrum...

@annie
thick neck bro would've been my best friend that night.

hold up though, both chris carrabba AND chris conley played at the SAME CONCERT? how more emo can that get?! it's as if high school rolled itself up and punched you in the balls again. please tell me chris conley played "this is not an exit."



Jeff Micklos • January 19th 2011 • Reply
You know Joe, he didn't play that song, I wanted to yell it but I held back. And once I yelled one song, it would be all down hill from there. "THIS IS NOT AN EXIT!" "OH MAN, WAIT, CAN YOU ALSO PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL!?" "NEVERMIND, I WILL TAKE IT ALL BACK IF YOU JUST PLAY NIGHTINGALE" "NO NO, THAT SONG IS TOO SLOW, FIREFLY!"

He did, however, play "As Your Ghost Takes Flight," which was one of the best things I have ever heard. Not musically, obviously but it really was a classic emo moment... akin to watching JEW play Table For Glasses.

Anyways, thick neck had not only a thick neck but an arm wrapped in a tribal tat and some bro hoodie. I must say, though, he really knew his 10 year old Dashboard.

Also, Annie got a Saves the Day shirt that I am pretttyyy sure Dani O'Brien had in 8th grade, thoughts?


Wow, I a total ramble man right now. Just waiting to go to lunch, you know. Wow Joe look at you awake before 12!

ANYWAYS.
Yes, we are faced with the same situation we were last year with Jay-Z (though I cannot remember who was playing against him). I have come to terms with the fact that I will be missing The Strokes in favor of waiting for Kanye.

hmmm, I like the little snippet you can edit that appears at the top of the webtape home page. Is it different for everyone or is that one I see just for me?



Jeff Micklos • January 20th 2011 • Reply
proceed with caution, Chris - everyone will see it.

Though you do bring up an interesting point about customized experiences per user. Thoughts?

why not work



Chris Jack • January 20th 2011 • Reply
Ooooh I see, so when I click "save" it saves it for everyone to see. Sweet, it is just fine as of now. I don't really have any thoughts on it, maybe you could have a per user thing similar in that you could jot down a note and that way when you got home later, you would remember what you wanted to post about....you know, cualquiera que sea


Jeff Micklos • January 23rd 2011
I have no idea what that says.



Joseph Flores • January 24th 2011 • Reply
Yay! Threaded comments!!

Although, what happened to the "edit comment" feature?


Jeff Micklos • January 24th 2011
nice, you noticed pretty fast. Email sending is wonky, though. I would love to send an email to the person whos post it is and the person who the comment is replying to. Oh well for now.

As for the edit of the comments, I thought I did that but I guess I didn't... I will look into it tonight.
