Nice. I couldn't "like" this due to the artist of the referenced content, but way to provide respect to our retiring mod!

Beato has some interesting stuff. I don't watch much of his music theory because, I mean, there's a reason I'm a drummer. What do I care for a Lydian scale. But his What Makes This Song Great vids are almost always top notch.

I enjoy his stuff. It is humbling how amazing any session musician is at, well, anything musical. And he taught his kid perfect pitch which is wild.

I saw them in 1989 and they were disappointingly not loud (after hearing about their show in Pgh on the COP tour). Good, but not loud.

Lollapalooza is going to be on Hulu starting Thursday. Info and band lineup here. Modest Mouse is one of the ones I recognized.
Some of the bands you all talk about will be there. You can see it on a free hulu trial.

I was never a big ZZ Top fan but RIP Dusty Hill. Seemed like one of those bands that was just gonna be around forever.
This is a pretty cool song though::

ZZ Top was the most underrated live show ever. AINEC
They put on a long, fun show every time.

Tuned in for a bit yesterday and caught a band called Backseat Lovers? They were actually really good which was pleasantly surprising for me (not a fan of most new popular music).

That Lollapalooza lineup is really something.
First, disavow yourselves that kids today listen to these bands. I guarantee even music bloggers have not heard of 50% of these groups. For me, probably under 20% excluding the headliners.
Almost 100% of the names that interest me here are rappers. But at a large outdoor festival? Nah, that music needs to be enclosed in a smaller space to maximize low end sound and vocal clarity (IMO).
I mean, it's a party, not a statement on Today's Music. And also, band discovery is a big pleasure for festivals like this. You don't really need to know who's who going in.

Festivals are weird as shit and should only be experienced on drugs or under the influence of nostalgia.

I take pride in my last festival experience being me skipping Beck at Sasquatch because my back hurt too much.

Meeting Our Lady Peace and Moby at Rolling Rock Town Faire in Latrobe. OLP were very nice respectable Canadian boys and Moby was as much of a dick as you would imagine he is.
