I haven't seen Jungle live yet so I can't say whether they are overrated here, but I definitely want to see them mostly because of the hype on here. I would've skipped them for BSS at Roo because BSS is pretty much the best show I've seen so far this year.
A lot of Jungle songs sound pretty similar to me, so I don't have an issue with you thinking they're a tad overrated. It is very lowkey.
Funk is the best genre, though. Wish Turkuaz was at this.
didnt you already not see her at dfn, I bet she's done for a minute after ACL. i guess she could still play Roo next year.
Yeah, I missed her for Justice because duh.
Duh? You seem angry about shit today.
I don't think it was a duh move at all. Even the EDM mfers we were with chose St. Vincent at that. Justice was fine as I got to see a lot of it on YouTube and a few minutes at the beginning. It was pretty much a no-brainer for everyone we were with.

Lol I'm not angry. I just like Justice a whole lot more than St Vincent, they're a good bit harder to catch, and they have some of the best visuals I've ever seen.
I saw a little of her at FPSF in 2015. It was sort of from a distance because I was waiting for Mastodon at a nearby stage.
I hear you. Maybe you're just a bit more intense than usual because of the issues we're faced with here. I think I understand you pretty well when I saw your interim posts. You don't think St. Vincent is as great as some other people do which is fair. That's kind of how I feel about Justice. I've seen them a couple of times along the way, and they're always decent. I just don't have the affinity for their styles of electronic that many other people do. Full respect though for those are super into them.

As much as I like Justice, seeing Metallica over them is also a duh for me, because I've never seen them and they're legends. Fortunate that I got to see Justice at DFN, because that would hurt otherwise.
Her: "Well, I guess I just like psych rock a lot."
Me: "Let's just not do this."
It's weird how they're such a polarizing band. They seem like good kids and fairly honest guys who come from a family and hometown background that gave rise to their style and sound. It's a somewhat softcore version of late 60's/early 70's Zeppelin at this point.
I wouldn't say that Jungle was lame either. But just like Greta Van Fleet seems to be overrated on the internet as a whole, I think Inforoo overrates Jungle. I'm from a funk city, and while I agree that they're a decent funk band, it's a softcore 70's radio funk throwback style to me. There's much heavier and funkier shit I'm going to be getting down to if I want the funk. There's better psychedelic rock that I'm going to be getting down to over GVF if I want to listen to that. But being as it's a festival and those are my choices, I think I'll go with Greta Van Fleet.
Does the friend or group you're going with not split up for sets that you want to go to? All our crowd - be it 5 or 25 or more - go to the shit we want to go to rather than grouping it. Even bfs/gfs will split shit up and nobody seems to give a fuck about that. We'll meet up later if there's a big plan to catch a show en masse or something.
I can't speak for everyone else, but for me I just think GVF is really fucking lame. There's nothing "rock n roll" about them at all. It just feels like an imitation...a really good imitation but nothing more. I feel like people who really like them are just way too easily impressed. It feels wrong and judgemental for me to think that, but I can't help that's how I feel. It's kind of ridiculous to me how much hype they get.
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know you realize that life goes fast - It's hard to make the good things last-you realize the sun doesn't go down - It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

f - Natalie Prass > Big Thief/Nicole Atkins > Ravyn Lenae > REIGNWOLF > Alvvays > Byrne > Lily Allen > National > Hozier > Paul (would rather see Thief, but the reviews on their shows seem to be hit/miss; maybe some of GDA during Byrne, but I can see them basically any time)
s - Lo Moon > Curtis Harding > Japanese Breakfast > Rhye/Brandi Carlile > Blood Orange > Disturbed (why couldn't all of the good conflicts been here instead) > St. V/Justice > Metallica
s - Amen Dunes (bummed this is during Cook) > Bahamas/'One Man No City' > Moses Sumney/Janelle Monae (like for real, just put Sumney/Rhye during Disturbed and I'm golden) > Houndmouth > Vince! > Shakey Graves > AM > Gambino > R U Mine? > Gambino

Wish Metallica got two hours, though.
Yeah. It was a cheap, dickish move by Live Nation. They boned me last year at Voodoo with a 90 minutes Foo Fighters set and are doing the same thing here. I've only seen Metallica once, and it was pre-Live Nation 2012 Voodoo. They had a 150 minute/2.5 hour set. That's what I would have wanted though I could have been appeased with 2 hours. Definitely a shitty move by them.

I watched an interview with the guitar player a few weeks ago. Basically their (the 3 of them who are brothers) parents were rockers and liked folk, and they listened to a lot of shit around the house that turned out to be completely different from once they started listening to shit with friends as they got older. So they're coming at their sound from parents of that era and what they grew up on and also from a somewhat smallish town which was isolated from bigger city influences. I know people in their mid-30's who love the fuck out of them just like I know some early 20's people who do too. I'm in the middle. I like them, but I have to take it with a little bit of a grain of salt because I'm a giant early Zeppelin fan. As we have discussed before, I kind of feel about Brockhampton the way you do about Greta Van Fleet. That would be my best analogy though I'd add that I don't actually think they're really fucking lame - just they haven't earned their hype yet either.
I’d imagine that would sell out in an instant. But yes it’d be incredible.
Disclosure also did one the year Mau5 did, they both sold out iirc, but if they can do it so can Justice.
Totally forgot about that. Here’s hoping. When did those sets start? I’d assume it’d be on a Friday, and If they did weekend 1 and started after 11, that’d be too perfect.

Rezz opened for Deadmau5 so he probably didn't go on til like midnight.

Different note: the opening run on friday weekend 1 of Topaz Jones -> Natalie Prass -> Cuco has me surprisingly excited. I haven’t gotten there first thing in the morning since day 1 2013 when I caught the orwells & fidlar, but I’ll almost definitely be there to catch all of those shows.

LOL. Sorry. I've waded those waters in the past, and I'm not looking to fight anyone about it. I have taken the time out to watch a couple of streams and felt like they just weren't ready for primetime yet.
lol no, I just don't think I've heard that before, and I kind of agree with it. I definitely think that GvF are worse, and bite harder, but I also don't think anything BH is doing is all that revolutionary, and i think the 'boy band' thing is pretty gimmicky.
I honestly didn’t know we were still taking Nelly seriously after he collaborated with Florida-Georgia Line lol. Like is everyone whose excited to see him purely excited on an ironic basis? Or is this for real? I mean, obviously he has some classics, but I don’t see the appeal of seeing him in a live setting, particularly over St. Vincent.

Why did anyone ever take him seriously? Does anyone think he's a great rapper? or even a good one?
