6. lcd soundsystem
5. 65 days of static
4. warlords of pez

1. sonic youth (close call with the fall tho!)
disappointments
ratatat were dull
hot chip were awful allegedly
i missed deerhoof and fujiya and miyagi and the beastie boys greatest hits gig on saturday was just stupidly full. way too small a tent. i gave up after 2 songs. cock up of dangerous proportions!
oh and the mary chain, a shadow of their former selves
great weekend, met old friends and made new ones. thanks to anyone who gave the guy in the thurston atp shirt the time of day over the weekend. the only downer was the tragic death of a 23 yr old student during the chemical brothers show. it seems to be a simple tragic heart attack, nothing more sinister.......
lookin forward to the 08 picnic already!
