Hopscotch 2013

I keep forgetting that Iron Maiden is playing here two days before this. Going to be a good week.

I'm wondering if that's an outright addition or if they are gonna replace someone.

Their facebook has them in California on the 4th, 6th and 7th of September. Seems like an odd jump.

, I started listening to your playlist today. Here's your first review.

What did her in was the transition from almost liking Swearin' to not at all linking Pissed Jeans.

Local Natives on Friday (via Pollstar). Esh.

Lincoln or Memorial?

I can't stop. I'm hoping that a few of those show up at day parties. In specific, I'm hoping for both Thrill Jockey and Drag City parties. So many bands from those labels.

Do higher billed acts do day parties for this thing?

My only problem is giving 175 bands at once. I think if they were to drop it in 3 or 4 announcements, it might be easier to swallow. 175 is kinda overwhelming, imo.

First world problem, I know.

They used to have a band together, p.s. eliot. You should check it out.

so in love with lady lamb the beekeeper right now. can't wait to see her show.

Metal Handbook is up.

There were a few more names I wanted to see on it, but it's really incredible what they have.

I can't buy a ticket till I see the schedule.
