“Dreamed of becoming for 29 years.” Oh my god, what a groaner of an ending line! Everyone else already said what I would have to say about this list otherwise.

Who did Anthony Kiedis make sweet heroin-addled love to in order to attain headliner status for every single festival in the United States for the past half a decade?

Where are the laser sounds? It’s simply not a wonderful Christmastime without laser sounds.

I can only assume that someone will seek out the parts of this article that aren’t in complete adoration of the album and revolt.

Ridiculously hateful responses, come on down!

I’ve listened to this twice already this morning. Now that I’ve listened to it, I wish that my digital download of the album was available. I am still very excited to spin the vinyl when it arrives soon, but I’m kind of obsessed right now and know the stream will be gone within 24 hours. White people problems.

I love Planet of Sound. I’ll just make sure I don’t bring anything pitchfork-y in to them when I’m looking to buy more vinyl.

By the way, I realized this sounded like a douchebag correcting someone’s wording. Woops. I was actually just trying to remember the difference between libel and slander. Don’t know why I felt the need to type my thoughts.

Last night was my first time ever at this venue. It’s the clubhouse suites or whatever they are called that are the issue. I saw that a bunch of first pavilion seats went on sale the day of the show but soon after realized they were limited visibility seats because of the way this venue is set up.

We stuck with our lawn seats. We got a great spot and, even though I had heard horrible things about sound at this venue and worried that the lawn would be too far back, on such a beautiful, breezy night I’m so glad we were where we were at and I thought the sound was great throughout Caribou and Radiohead’s sets. I liked being far back enough to see the stage set up in its entirety but close enough that I could still see what was happening onstage without having to stare at a screen.

I’m so glad that “The Love You Love” turned out so well in the studio. I pre-ordered the vinyl and now have to decide whether to stream this now or wait and hear it for the first time when the vinyl arrives very soon.

I read that Animal Collective hated the experience of playing Lollapalooza when they were there last time. I’m curious if they would even consider playing again.
