Lupe!

Last year had a better line up.

Thurston will be bad ass too, I've never seen sonic youth so this will be fun.

This year it's more well rounded. Last year had the madness that was Modest Mouse, but Lupe could get that big.

Edward Sharpe is a great live show for sure. Definitely looking forward to that, Bright Eyes, and Lupe!!

I usually get super-excited for these, but this year seems kinda meh compare to the last two-three years. I'm hoping some of those TBA's change my mind.

Well, the TBAs are openers but it's fun just to enjoy outside downtown with thousands of people. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes puts on a good show, especially if you like to hippy dance.

That's the band that plays the song that makes me think Don't Think Twice It's Alright is on then I am disappointed because it isn't that song.

I'd be stoked if either came up!

I guarantee that everyone here has a favorite artist who have chord/vocal progressions that are almost identical to something written before. It's not that big of a deal.

Elliott Smiths last show ever was in SLC. Hopefully it doesn't happen to his imitator.

The Decemberists are one of my favorites. There are some other pretty good groups there as well.

Anyways I'm not anti-Bright Eyes. I'm glad you kids aren't into the GaGa and Limp Biscuit like the other hooligans.

The Gallivan Center is having a few concerts this summer as well, but not any free concerts it looks like.

I was at that show. Both my wife and thought: "Wow, he looked really happy. He looked good."
