street scene 2008: set times; black crowes cancel
the street scene set times were released last week, and they seem to address the noise-bleed potential for bands playing the main stages in the petco tailgate lot: no overlapping sets. this also takes care of most of the dreaded set time conflicts that often occur at music fests. yet there's still a logjam around 7:45 friday, with diplo and the new pornographers wrapping up on side stages as tv on the radio (whose new cd sounds pretty epic on first listen) get underway. fortunately the TVOTR->spoon->justice->beck sequence that night should more than make up for any abbreviated set watching.
as for saturday... anybody need two tickets? just kidding, some quality acts but no one i'm a big fan of. guess it's a day to discover some new music. today the black crowes canceled due to an unspecified illness. i had the misfortune of hearing "she talks to angels" the other day and am grateful to be spared from that experience live. now just book lil wayne and watch those ticket sales blow up! (UPDATE, 09/18/2008: it's devo. hopefully you didn't see their free [with track admission] show a couple weeks back at del mar).
anyway, here's a track from the new TVOTR cd, dear science, out 9/23:

For the second day, X always puts on a good show. I didn't even realize they were playing until I saw the schedule. Because of their short name, I kind of just glossed pass them on the poster.
With The Black Crowes out (no biggie, to me), I hope they shake up the lineup by bringing in a big Hip Hop act like Kanye West, Jay-Z or Lil Wayne.
sorry, it's devo. you know, the guys who just played del mar for free a couple of weeks ago.
That's it? Devo? I would might be more impressed if they included other early 80's bands like The Knack and The B-52's. Saturday night sorta blows.
