    Anyone thinking about going to Lollapolooza Music Festival at Grant Park in Chicago? This year it's August 4-6...and the line-up looks very promising.

    Some of the notables...

    Wilco
    The Shins
    Broken Social Scene
    The Flaming Lips
    Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Matisyahu
    Built to Spill
    Death Cab
    Kanye West
    The New Pornographers
    Anathallo
    The Rapture
    The Dresden Dolls
    Mates of State
    Sonic Youth
    Ryan Adams
    Sleater-Kinney
    Iron & Wine
    Of Montreal
    Panic! At the Disco
    Stars
    Cursive
    Feist
    The Go! Team
    Nada Surf
    Andrew Bird
    Theivery Corporation

    Considering I'd pay good money to see any of those artists, $130 for the three day pass doesn't seem so bad. Hmm...I might decide to visit my cousin in Chicago this summer...

    thats a pretty good lineup. expect a few of those bands to be playing acl a month later as the booking for both events is done by the same dude(s).

    Blasphemy.

    But good point...as long as Wilco, Built To Spill, Anathallo, the New Pornographers, Of Montreal, Cursive, The Rapture, The Shins, and the Lips will be in Atx, it's good enough I suppose.

    Whenever I think about live music, I get depressed that Elliott Smith is dead and I'll never get to see him. :(

    That's what happens when you get depressed and KNIFE yourself.

    How the heck do you stab yourself with a knife? You don't die instantly. You have to push the blade in. Gives me the shivers.

    It looks like a good lineup. I bought tickets for the last Lollapalooza but they cancelled it. Hopefully that won't happen this year.

    Most of the bands are f***ing amatuers compared to OG lineup from 1991

    Jane's Addiction
    Nine Inch Nails
    Henry Rollins Band
    Siouxsie & the Banshees
    Living Colour, Fishbone
    Violent Femmes
    Ice-T's Body Count
    Butthole Surfers

    My brother drove all night to Dallas. Wouldn't take me coz I was small and I would cramp his style. He did bring me back a NIN shirt though.

    Now the 1993 Lallapolooza at the fairgrounds (I think), that was a lineup.
    Lush
    Jesus and Mary Chain
    Pearl Jam
    Soundgarden
    Ice Cube
    Ministry
    Red Hot Chili Peppers

    My parents dropped me and some friends off. My first concert ever, my first body surf, and my first mosh. I still have the stub.

    I was 13 and barely weighed 100lbs but I went into the mosh when Ministry played Stigmata.

    Sounds cool and all but where are the Smashing Pumpkins? Billy said they were reuniting. The word is he and Chamberlain are working on a zillion new songs. Its Chicago... Give me somethin!
