Woo hoo...Saturday morning. #68 on the countdown to Hangout is Pell. From the Hangout website, Pell's bio: "Born in new orleans, pell was uprooted to starkville, mississippi by hurricane katrina in 2005 at the age of 15. Like many others in nola, katrina decimated the neighborhood where pell and his family lived, and as a result they were forced to relocate. “all I was able to take with me from new orleans was the musical culture I grew up in, not my possessions, only memories and life lessons. Creating a new life from scratch teaches you resilience,” adds pell. And he’s used his determination to pursue a music career. In high school, pell created beats for his friends using a beat box that his dad gave him. Pell used those skills to help produce tracks on his first 2010 mixtape, “that feel good.” it was that year that he also formed the collective that feel good (tfg), with some friends. In 2012, pell released his first collection of songs digitally as a free album titled the wild. Shortly after, pell released a single titled “the actress” featuring tfg-affiliate sir flywalker. The song, an ode to college party life, amassed over 30,000 soundcloud plays, leading to coverage in the jackson free press, and music outlets such as youheardthatnew and nme. In addition, pell started to share the stage with artists such as machine gun kelly, juicy j, joey badass, waka flocka, and casey veggies.
Strokes were fire btw. Arcs were pretty much Black Keys 2.0
I'm okay with this because they're not taking a headliner spot. I don't think the Keys suck, they're just so overbooked and overrated for where they are on festival lineups now.

Both are great but I never understood the headliner appeal of black keys. It would be like Spoon headlining. G

Not saying anything bad about Spoon (they were awesome at HOF last year) or the Keys...but there is no doubting that the Keys are a bigger draw...multiple platinum albums, numerous Grammys, bigger fan base, etc. I love them both, and think yes, the Keys are too high on some Festival posters, and Spoon is under appreciated, but no...its not like booking Spoon to headline.
I'll chime in. I would swap Black Keys or Kings of Leon for any of our current headliners. The caveat to that is I like to see someone I haven't seen before so I'm glad Florence is headlining. I believe Calvin is a Surf closer and Weeknd is a pre Calvin performer.
I'm standing there watching Spoon and the dude playing drums, Eno, is staying in Island Winds East and we been making small talk all weekend. Kinda made watching Spoon a little more personal. Definitely enjoyed their show before and after recognizing the drummer.

I don't think that beach could handle I can't feel my face and sex is on fire in one weeknd. Lol
OK...got a break..#67 this Sunday morning is The Royal Concept. You can read their bio at: lineup.hangoutmusicfest.com/band/the-royal-concept From WIKI: The Royal Concept is a pop rock band founded in Sweden in 2010, composed of David Larson (vocals, guitar and keyboard), Filip Bekic (guitar), Robert Magnus (bass) and Frans Povel (drums).
Comments? It would seem that GV likes Swedish or Scandanavian bands. I will try to catch The Royal Concept. Enjoyed the live video clips.
Roy Concept could be fun. Another week of let downs coming up?
I took it easy the past two days after a rowdy night seeing the Strokes. Saw two really cool movie premiers. This groundbreak production of the first fully first person action film ever: Hardcore Henry:
And super dark yet oddly heart warming tail of inner family strifeand revent: My Father
Also saw Doug Benson not knowing what fucking planet he was on.
Read Doug Benson removed someone for being in their phone during a movie. He's been at Hangout the past two years. He responded back to me on Twitter and said he was going to be there this year too.

Monday Morning...at least we are only five days away from spring. Jack Novak is #66 on the countdown. Born in southwest Chicago, Jack Novak (who is not a fellow) was first attracted to electronic music and hard hitting dance records as a teen while exploring the underground rave scene. Years later, her journey into dance music was revived after moving to Los Angeles, where she built a home studio and literally worked day-and-night for two years to build her production catalogue and perfect her craft. Jack’s heartfelt diligence and workhorse studio ethics garnered the attention of industry mega-agent Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5, Afrojack, Calvin Harris) and she joined the William Morris roster. She was Pharrell Williams’ touring DJ in 2013. Vibe Magazine voted her one of the Top DJ’s to Watch in 2014. By 2015, Thump begged the question if she was the answer to EDM’s darth of female DJs? Jack has shared stages around with the world with acts such as, Skrillex, Martin Garrix, Tommy Trash, Nervo, Cash Cash, Chris Lake, Hardwell, David Guetta, Otto Knows, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, and A-trak. In 2015, Jack began her own label imprint Power and Light Records with its first two single releases garnering over 4 million plays. Her first official remix was released through Interscope for X Ambassadors single “Unsteady”. 2016 shows no signs of slowing down with incredible collaborations, worldwide touring, and groundbreaking releases already in place.
Comments? Agree that the large number of DJ/electronically produced artists on the lineup is starting to get old with me. But, I am getting older too. Note to self, bring Bose for the beach/pool with plenty of classic rockers on it.
yea this year i havent found anything i really liked a lot on the bottom lines like in the past. i have found some bands that i still love and listen to all the time from past bottom lines but not getting that this year at all.

Out of the first 22, I will try to see Koa, Half Moon Run, Strangers You Know, Muddy Magnolias, and Bass Drum of Death. If I go to the pre-party, big if, it will be Grouplove and Moon Taxi. Got the Coasts, Givers, and Revivalists coming up and that is three I'll want to see. And then Kaleo, Judah and the Lion and Stick Figure. Lenny, Flume and Haim are worthy performers. Then I got Miike Snow with my son, Jason Isbell on the front row, and Leo Bridges. Not a stacked lineup, but worth the Alumni ticket and something fun to do during my beach vacation. Shouldn't be too hard to pick a couple performances to do the Inforoo meet up.
I will make up for Hangout's down musical year at Bonnaroo.

this year has less edm then last year...
Not a whole lot of difference in terms of numbers on the EDM side between 2015 and 2016 in my opinion. Also, Foos, ZBB, and Beck were waaaaaay better headliners and a lot more folk-americana & fun, beach music last year in the middle of the lineup (Cold War Kids, Colony House, Deep Vally, Drive by Truckers, Elle King, Father John Misty, Elliot Root, Foster the People, Galactic, Houndmouth, and on and on). After I get back from 2016, my opinion might change, but from a March perspective, 2015, which was a down year, was better than 2016, which I am considering the worst year for performers I want to see. Last year the scheduling kept me from a lot of bands I wanted to see. I hope/don't think there is enough on this year's lineup to cause that kind of conflict.
One Skrillex last year was probably worth all the EDM on the lineup this year. Again, past experience says I wind up having a better time than I think I will once I get my feet in the sand and cold one in my hand.

Seriously? ...in no official capacity?
Nope, he just likes to go. I think he attends other festivals. Saw a few pics of him in VIP last year.
