pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

that is profoundly depressing

Can't wait for the big collab from the headliners, "Like Dylan Trapped In The Closet (It's Oh So Quiet)."

Bjork singing "Trapped in the Closet" may be the only context in which I would be entertained by "Trapped in the Closet"

bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bounce bouce

belle & sebastian is a pretty good legacy act

I get that logically, I just super hate them

I thought everyone in Belle & Sebastian died

maybe that was just a dream

you're thinking of their infamous stand-up set

gonna make big bucks by smuggling in no-doz and jolt and selling them right before the B&S set

(because they are a snooze)

boy with the arab strap had some jawns IMO

OTM, but it's weird that you're using the Swedish spelling

well played

damn

wtf jordan defending belle and sebastian

consistently worst taste in music on ILM

i think j0rd was just saying the booking was smart, in terms of the festival

hmmm, one of the more popular indie bands of the last 20 years headlining one of the more popular indie festivals?

yeah obv you'd have to be totally clueless to things like "indie rock" and "the internet" if you think that's a bad booking from a business standpoint

thats some real "Who's Bonny Bear" shit from n/a

it was less "why now" and more "that band sucks"

sinister development

i mean yeah i think belle & sebastian is a solid band too, but they're a much better headliner from an objective standpoint than some of the bands that were on the bill last year

i mean even if you don't think they are straight fire beautiful song you have to admit their place in the bookish fancypants UK indie canon

no one has argued that this is a bad business decision! everyone's just saying they're shitty!

the friday night headliner last year was feist, the worst act out of r. kelly/belle & sebastian/bjork is >>>>>>>>> feist from both a business and quality perspective (imo)

xpost -- Quite true, that.

Feist > Belle and Sebastian; that shit is str8 garbage

you know, i'm a mild feist fan i guess, but my wife loves her, anyway i got good tickets and took her as a surprise...and i have to say, feist was probably the artists that most exceeded my expectations as a live act....it was pretty rocking, and her band and arrangements were great, she played a lot of fingerstyle electric on a les paul jr that was cool.

this was a really nice small amphitheater though, she seems more suited to a venue like that

idk to me they feel like they're from a different era. nothing wrong w/that necessarily but it's like when there's a metalfest and the headliner is Testament I'm like, fuck yeah I rep for Testament but that's past-master stuff not Where It's At Now y'know? at any rate if anybody needs me I will be marshalling all forces to try to persuade or compel R to play U Saved Me from beginning to end as his entire set

has anyone ever done a "major headliners are only allowed to play the other headliners' songs" concert?

belle & sebastian are the new neil young

btw as far as gate numbers go I fucking guarantee you Feist does bigger U.S. business than B&S, B&S not even remotely on Feist's level in those terms

No one argued otherwise but thanks for bandsplaining

i think for PF demo that b&s is a bigger draw than feist but i of course that's just a hypothesis

time to test it

i assume that the headliner with the least drawing power gets put on friday (or is it sunday?), so i guess we'll see how the bands are slotted

this is gonna be crazy

bandsplaining!!!

a+ whiney. this is as good as tumblr whites!

no, no its not

tumblr whites is all-time

ok, sorry, didnt see that jordan was dumb enough to think belle and sebastian could fill more seats than feist

apology accepted

lol

No one argued otherwise but thanks for bandsplaining
