Though he does have some songs with some pretty intense lyrics that grab your attention and can be the exact opposite of relaxing.

There is a lot more going in in their live show than I expected, definitely a great band. I don't listen to them as much as I probably should. I feel like I'm always overlooking them, but they are a very unique, talented band.

I've been getting incredibly impatient waiting for Babel to be released, and I found this song today while youtubing, and it might just be my favorite Mumford song. I've probably listened to this song 20 times in the past two hours. (its been playing nonstop)

LCD Soundsystem- I Can Change.

[themaninblack]

Arcade Fire's Roo performance is on youtube if ya look for it. Usually its broken up into individual songs but the one I was watching was from the live stream so it was pretty high quality.

EDIT: NVM I found the whole set in one vid:

I've gotta spread rep around, but rest assured, you will be getting it asap.

Oh its no problem I have more than I ever care to deserve.

Thinking about going to Midpoint Music Festival this year which is an annual music festival that takes place here in Cincy. Some pretty interesting bands on the lineup including Grizzly Bear, The Dirty Projectors, Andrew Bird, Best Coast, Here We Go Magic, and Sleigh Bells.

Here's the full lineup: http://mpmf.com/festival/bands let me know if there's anyone else I should go see.

Bon Iver tonight!

Cloud Nothings, Eternal Summers, Julia Holter, The Antlers, and The Walkmen for sure.

Lucky ****, plus you have The Lumineers coming up soon, right? IDK what you're expectations are for either show, but even if you are holding them to high expectations, they may just be exceeded

Defintiely agree on Cloud Nothings, The Antlers, and The Walkmen, and each band you mentioned in your post, TMIB, are ones I'd see, but I can't say I know too many other of the artists' music, I recognized a few names on the list, but outside of those few bands, I'm not familiar with a lot of the artists, sounds like it'd be a sweet show to go to. Is it a good amount of local bands in it as well?

Edit: I know a girl who's musical opinion I generally respect who really likes Tennis, I can't give you my personal opinion on them, but I'd check them out a little bit beforehand at least and see if it'd be worth it. I have also heard Pujol mentioned a bit as something I might be interested in, but I haven't checked him out myself yet.

The Head and the Heart are playing on Conan tonight, jsyk...

There's a decent amount of local bands on the bill that I know of but ya most of the bands I've never heard of really. This festival is usually a good launching point for a lot of young up and comers. The list of past performers is quite impressive.

[Wootylicous]

Because Ben Howard is ******* awesome.

[D-Unit]

Ya feel me?

Bon Iver blew my god damned mind. I'm sure Gonzo can corroborate this, but that was quite possibly one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
