Select Clips From Virgin Fest 2007

No regrets choosing Lolla over the Virgin Fest: Karen O dressed to impress, My Morning Jacket got orchestral, and Dennis Rodman gave Pearl Jam a lift … this year's Lolla had some memorable moments. That said, Virgin Festival wasn't without action: Baltimore might be all about Dan Deacon in our warped minds -- in fact, the hipster Pied Piper joined the bill last minute -- but while we were sweating to !!! in Chi-town, Charm City had its fair share of noteworthy moments. We're kind of surprised by the number of echoes: M.I.A., Spoon, Winehouse, LCD, and Interpol were among the acts appearing at both fests. Double timing's not very virginal. Not that we're complaining. Choice vids after the jump...

We unearthed this hulking, collagist 8-minute video with footage of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, and the Pumpkins. It's almost like we were there! Well, if we blacked out every few seconds.

Here's some "Message In A Bottle"...

Otherwise, dross and semi-dross:

This Beastie footage is farty, but the kids are bumpin'. Amy Winehouse sounds fine but from this vantage it's difficult to tell if she's still shrinking. MatisyahuSwedish Mafia?

Yup, slim pickin's -- so if you've gots better, post 'em up.

Anyone else find it funny that the Smashing Pumpkins are playing at an event sponsored by Virgin?

Premature Evaluation: Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

Pushing Noel off a stage in Toronto might bruise the erstwhile Oasis mouthpiece's ribs (maybe even his spirits) and cause the band to cancel a show or two, but nothing can stop the slow procession toward a new Oasis album....
