We're fucked next year. Weeknd's stats on Spotify:
24 million with +2.9k followers/day.
Justin Beibers:
31 million with +50k followers/day.
Several things to consider...the kids show up and buy $200 tickets and scrooge the community. Condo rentals are destroyed with 12 kids in a room and trashing it. Lots of parents get "that call" to come get their kids out of OBA/GS jails. 2017 return to balanced crowd and lineup, jam bands, Bob Seger/Doobies close down Sunday night, and I keep my condo one more year.
Or....new GV marketing strategy is a hit, condos sell out, community makes a lot of money, peace and quiet at 11PM and kids are so "sweet". Beiber, Swift, American Idols, and Alvin and the Chipmunks are booked for 2017. Change of handle from beachbob to lakefrontpropertybob.
Or...mellow out, chill, and get along with whatever they throw up in terms of a lineup and appreciate the constants in life like the beach, shrimp, friends, and alcoholic beverages. THIS!
I would love to check out the Chipmunks live! Theodore is a killer drummer, Simon is epic on the synths, Alvin has a ridiculous set of pipes and Dave is a beast on the bass. There Squirrels cover album is so likeable.

by the way Muse was incredible last night. Never seen production like that before, shit was insane. Highly recommend the show even if youre on the fence about them.

Thought the same. Great set up. Then I saw Tool and it kind of made me forget about Muse lol.
OK...not so hot topic...for those of us who are waaaaaaiting on a schedule...saw John in a drunken stupor at a Holiday Inn in Murfreesboro...love this guy...gimme a good songwriter, story teller, and a guitar, something intoxicating to drink....
Idk a few of their songs are alright. Id check em out if they played a early afternoon slot on a smaller stage or somthing if there wasn't anyone else great playing.
Noooo! Saw them open for Robert Delong couple months ago. So bad.
Koa...the very last band on the list has a DMB kind of feel. They have also done some stuff with Moon Taxi. I saw Dave 3 nights in a row on his Caravan tour in Chicago. It was insane. Loved every song. A lot of people don't like the "bro" crowd he draws, but he's great to see when a crowd of his fans are chanting along to every song and dancing their asses off. I get why he is not well liked and I don't care. I just love music. Not much that I hate.
Koa is quacking rad.
We caught them at Waka preparty last year. They were the opening act out of Nashville. This was from my review of the day in that thread.
Caught Koa last night (rhymes with boa rather than k o a). They were out of Nashville had a good percussionist and sax player and seem fairly talented. Some of it was slower which might have lent a little better to a late night club...
Basically they didn't suck and are fine for a pass by set if you have free time early when they will be playing.
Moon Taxi.....music in the new McDonalds all day, all night breakfast ad.....i like their use of punage with Moon Taxi.
Good for them. Get paid guys.
Damn. MDC. I always supported Moon Taxi, so other than them hopefully making a mint, it's a punk rock gut shot. Haha. I have to throw it up
Ronald laughs as millions starve and profits forever increase Your stenching farts as they smile they say they try to please Plastic chairs and fake shakes to help it all go down Polluting your children with their lies and trying to destroy your mind \m/dc.

...why would you ever expect some sort of punk rock holdout-style, "fuck the establishment" attitude from a band like Moon Taxi? They're radio-ready pop-lite-rock.
It's not that I was expecting that from them. But McDonald's? Just the idea provoked a chorus of Corporate Death Burger in my head, so I had to. It's expected. But as I've said in the past, I prefer their jam and rock side to the more formulaic/accessible stuff from their last album. It was pretty evident at Bonnaroo, but I like them enough to still see them when they're around (for now anyway).

I understand the idea of staying true to the art and not selling out, but I also realize that most people don't like their job, so if you can make a little money doing something lame so that you can keep doing what you really love, more power to you.
In case anyone was interested, there is one more condo available for Hangout weekend at Ocean Reef. It's on VRBO and idk if these people are just refusing rentals for that weekend or what but it's still on there.
So random thing I noticed, we have 14 artists from ACL's lineup in 2015. All over the poster too from Weeknd and Flo to some at the very bottom like Muddy Magnolias. Probably would be a good starting point for our lineup I guess when trying to figure out predictions.
I couldnt really get into Taxi when they were doing the jam stuff. The new album is my favorite one of theirs.
They don't even play anything from Melodica anymore which sucks because they had a couple tracks they'd jam on that we're great live like The Stand and Gimme a Light.

Agreed. It sort of started off on Mountains Beaches City with anthem-like Running Wild and certainly became more pronounced with the 2015 release. It's not that I hate songs like Running Wild or All Day All Night, but that's not really how I know Moon Taxi. The jam was simply better than their more slickly produced hit stuff. Just fucking play without turning the set into a sing along for those not looking more deeply at the performance damnit.
When I saw them in the fall they did a lot of jamming mixed into the new songs it was pretty great
They were good (again) at Waka. The Bonnaroo set at Which stage was a massive show with over 10000 people (or so it appeared), but that's their home turf. I like them, I just had to provide some punk rock social commentary regarding McDonalds.
