While I agree, I find the Mumford discussion funny because like two years ago everyone on this board was terrified at the prospect of Mumford being one of the headliners because of how "shitty" they were.
They're not shitty imho, just nothing out of the ordinary. Hangout used to have an edge. When M&S becomes a desired commodity or an improvement, that lays it all out.
Big Freedia pleaded guilty yesterday or today to illegally taking some money for a housing voucher over a 4 year period when she didn't need it. Fine was like 34,400 and sentencing (likely probation with the guilty plea) is in June. So there is no danger to the Thursday pre party. Guessing she will be there with DJ Jubilee and probably some of their entourage (Katey Red, etc).

If I were Big Freedia I would walk into the court room and carefully lay out the exact fine in brand new $1 bills and then calmly walk out. But I would do it while wearing a tshirt that says "Bitch, Beyonce calls me directly."
Lol. Where da dollars at, where da dollars at, where da dollars at?
Her booty poppin potatoes were pretty good. We went to the showcase at Buku for the 5th season of Fuse. Katey and her posse were backstage gar after gar. So my niece is popping and Freedia points her out, "Damn, she got a big ole booty." Fuse walks up to her to sign the release. I see Katey behind the food booth and drunkenly attempted a "Heyyyy" and she busts up the megaphone and hits me back with the signature, "Heyyyyyyyyy" and Fuse comes running up to me to sign. So look for your boy Esteban, early in a day that would otherwise include multiple bad decisions, on season 5 of Big Freedia whenever that comes out. Lmao at the old guy who actually knows this shit. I guess I can thank Ben from Galactic. Cool deal too since the last time I saw Katey at Buku was when Beats Antique brought her out for a couple songs back in 14.
Went off the schedule a bit today. Lil Dicky @ Waterloo - Killer show. Expect a manically packed Slut Life Stage if thats where he lands. Great video and audio here from today. Skip to 5:00 to hear the best version of the star spangled banner ever.
Also caught Jack Garrett, talented mofo:
Some monstrosity called Teklife & The Era Footwork Dancers followed by Charli XCX who, I guess a lot of people like but I found absolutely boring.
TGIF. All the news from SXSW and other shows getting me pumped for the beach and Hangout. #62 on the countdown is Coasts. From Wiki "Coasts is an English rock band formed in Bristol in 2011. The group consists of Chris Caines (Vocals), Liam Willford (Guitar), James Gamage (Bass), David Goulbourn (Keyboards) and Ben Street (Drums). They are most notable for their singles "A Rush of Blood" and "Oceans". "A Rush of Blood" was named Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Record' in October 2014. The single has also featured on Made in Chelsea. "Oceans" has received international media attention and has achieved over four million plays on Soundcloud. Coasts signed a record deal in the UK with Warner Music and with Capitol Records in the USA, in late 2014."
Comments? Another O---ah----O band for Hangout. Probably give them a listen. Not exactly sure what to call this new Hangout sound.
Chattanooga Riverbend completed their lineup/schedule. A few bands on their I'd like to see but, conflict with Bonnaroo.

FISHBONE, FLOW TRIBE, GET THE LED OUT, SALT N PEPA, STOOGES BRASS BAND, TRAMPLED BY TURTLES, TURKOUZ. UMPHREYS MCGEE, ZZ WARD, ^^^ These are the acts I'd want to see, although Heart is way cooler these days and back to their earlier style than the terrible MTV era which they've apologized for.
But Firefall & Ambrosia? I would have had no idea either of those 70s acts were still playing. I don't remember their songs (would have to look them up) and remember not being a fan of either. But I thought it was interesting they were on any lineup anywhere.
Edit - oh **** - "You are the woman that I've always dreamed of..." hahaha. Terrible radio stuff. And How Much I Feel and Biggest Part of Me? While the 70's ruled musically in a lot of ways, some of the radio friendly stuff that now passes off for office lite music was definitely in the bad category though maybe not as bad as the stupid 1 hit wonder stuff like Shannon is Gone, Run Joey Run, Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting, etc. Hahahaha. Badness.
Happy Friday folks! This week we bring you a track from another extremely underrated 80's-90's band, World Party. For recording purposes, Karl Wallinger, lead singer and guitar player in the video, plays every instrument on every album. World Party has done acoustic tours recently as a 3 piece. Anyway, I think this song will appeal to most everyone paying attention to politics lately(and I plan to quit paying attention as festy season arrives)...enjoy!

Yes! Love World Party. I even love that Bowie rip off/homage to song.
edit: had to come back and add it. I just went down a magical world party youtube hole, it was great.
Whoa...Saturday morning and we are at #61 on our countdown. "Givers (stylized as GIVERS) are an indie pop group from Lafayette, Louisiana. The band is made up of vocalist and percussionist Tiffany Lamson, vocalist and guitarist Taylor Guarisco, drummer and vocalist Kirby Campbell, bassist and guitarist Josh LeBlanc, and flautist, saxophonist, and keyboardist Nick Stephan. The band's origins date to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which displaced Lamson and Guarisco from their New Orleans apartment and school, leading them to return to Lafayette with little to do. The duo began playing music together, and they recruited the other members shortly before a last-minute performance at a local pub in 2008. The band came together as the result of the unplanned, improvised jam." WIKI
"The members of Givers have previously performed in zydeco, jazz and Cajun groups. Following a touring stint with the Dirty Projectors and their debut 2009 EP, the band recorded their debut album and signed to Glassnote Records. The band's debut studio album, In Light, was released in June 2011 to favorable critical reviews." WIKI
Comments? Interesting group. I'll put them on my short list. Likely a restaurant stage band. Definitely a little quirky.
they will be an early show. I saw part of another show by them last weekend. They are folksy and are sincere but aren't going to deliver a 'sonic boom' performance. It's way more down home, chill and rooted in folkier traditions, but not in a country way. They mix parts of different authentic styles of folk-like stuff from down here with elements of everything from rock, zydeco, Cajun and gutter-punk acoustic (though obviously they aren't gutter punks). I don't really listen to them much, but I usually try to walk by their set at a festival to catch a song or two. I credit them for being low on ego. Basically, they aren't going to blow anyone away. But they don't suck. I guess if you had to classify them, they are a SW Louisiana answer to Indie-Folk.
I am perfectly happy with a cold drink in my right hand, chillin, and enjoying a folksy, quirky, acoustic sounding group of folks who say "hey there, how are ya'll" and don't have egos the size of their homes in Beverly Hills. Sounds like my kind of show. I'll enjoy the gulf breeze and a pretty friendly girl as far as getting blown away.
I am starting to lose hope that there will be any additions. Would sure be nice though. The top part of the lineup is lacking compared to past years. I love Flo an Alabama Shakes, but the rest do not do much for me. It looks like I will either be leaving early or heading to boom boom for 2 of the 3 nights. That has never happened before.

Welcome. Just know you share that sentiment with the majority of this thread. Hopefully they do a great job with the schedule to redeem that the top 6.

For sure. There is nothing wrong with some laid back, toe tapping, head bobbing music day side at the beach. They opened Buku Saturday on the main stage at 3. Obviously that's a late night, upbeat party festival heavy on rap and electronica. But they had plenty of people watching them as the gates opened. I was on the riverboat getting free drinks, and though they were unique in that setting, they weren't out of place. You will dig them for what they are. I guest next folk set for me is going to be Arlo's 50th Alice's Restaurant last Sunday of Jazzfest.

Did it gladly in 2014 with STS9 and Pretty Lights over Black Keys and Killers who incidentally both seem oddly (much like Mumford & Sons in the discussion yesterday) like an improvement. I had no regrets going to the tent for Friday and Saturday closers.
Looks like my wife and I will be attending again this year. Canadian dollar bounced back a touch. Beach, music, booze and food I'm in despite the lineup. With the price increase I think we get some additions right around April Fools. Even if they removed a stage the numbers don't seem to add up. Unless they have 2 contest winners? Sure hope they keep that restaurant stage open. Any more news on Zika?
