FFF8 (Nov 8-10, 2013)

Went over the scheduled times last night on my starred acts. Came up with this game plan, subject to change of mood at any given time.

Fri
Poolside/Beach Fossils > Live Action Rap Battle > Mac DeMarco > Little Boots/Johnny Marr > No Age/Small Black/Kurt Vile > Thee Oh Sees > Bill Callahan > Snoop/FLAG

Nights: Don't want to cross east of I35 for late nights so I'm looking at Benson & Silverman or White Lung > Fred Armisen and Bob Mold DJ sets or Merchandise > Chelsea Light Moving, possibly Underachievers

Sat
Bleached > White Lung/Merchandise > Melt Banana/Chelsea Light Moving > Chromatics > Glass Candy/ could wander over and check out some of Tenacious D > Television > Body Count/Tycho/Quasi > Deerhunter > Simian Mobile Disco > MIA/Ice-T/Descendents

Nights: Hit the east side for The Men and Bleached or stay downtown for Soul Clap/Brownout/Lee Fields. Might catch karaoke at the Mohawk or some acts at Empire Control Room

Sun
Master Pancake/Chet Faker/Cayucas > Dessa/Polyphonic Spree > The Men > The Julie Ruin > Shlohmo > end of Washed Out > Sarah Silverman/Killer Mike > Deltron 3030 > end of MGMT while snacking > Bonobo > Slayer/Jurassic 5/King Khan

Nights: Bonobo @ Parish



Hope to see some of you that are going at shows.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it changed. Maybe they are going to allow Del and the orchestra more time to set up.

When I was there in '11 I never gave it more than a passing glance. A few things have changed since then. It shouldn't be too difficult to set up something for him and his DJ. He belongs on a stage though and will probably end up on Blue.

My jealousy just went into overdrive.

You could come up with something you like even more if you go through it all. I had to sit down and write out the time slots to check overlaps and such. It could change a lot depending in what late night shows I catch. I'd love to see Cut Copy and Lupe, but I'm sticking with Callahan for now.

Yeah. I just wanted to write it out to really think about what I had to see and what I was willing to miss.

Oh, I'm definitely going to be at Television for the entire set. I just might sneak off from Glass Candy for a bit, but I doubt that.

Just purchased a Sunday pass! Where you at J5???

Oh I'm all over that.

Not sure how long ago this was added, but Thee Oh Sees were added back to the Nites lineup. They're playing Beerland Nites at 12:45 on Friday night.

Man Fri NITES are stacked, I dont know where to go. I'm very curious to see what this Fred Armisen DJ set is going to be like. I'm thinking Starslinger > Fred Armisen > Bob Mould DJ Set

Then again, I just checked a Mould DJ set on YouTube and it is very uptempo, party sounding EDM. Not what I expected.

It's walkable. You would have to walk across Town Lake via the 1st Street bridge. It would be about a mile. Belmont would be 3 blocks further north.

If it's anything like ACL, there will be TONS of pedicabs...
