One of the best new artists this year:

Referring to the blanked out video above:


Sadly the BBC unlinks their videos shortly after the Festival. Here is a replacement although the sound is crap. We were about 4 rows in from the front and dead centre. Wayne zorbed right over us both ways. The show was so uplifting and emotional strangers were hugging each other at the end. I have seen the Lips a few times but this was undoubtedly the best.

Fleet Foxes would have to be my favourite band of the past 10 years. Last year I was successful in the ballot to buy tickets to their Sydney Opera House concert (one of their first after after a long hiatus) but then was unable to go.

A few weeks ago, I was able to make the trip to Melbourne to see them live. It was brilliant and the best concert I can recall.

Their last album was on my top ten for the year.

I just got back from Shaky Knees Festival where I saw them play on Stage and also at the after show at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta.

I just looked up the lineup for shaky knees. What a great festival. In addition to Fleet Foxes there were multiple acts I really like and would have loved to have seen:

The National, Courtney Barnett, Nathaniel Ratecliff, Franz Fredinand, BRMC, war on drugs,

I am fascinated by new album of God is an Astronaut. This is my favorite post-rock band after Godspeed you! Black Emperor.

I had Platinum tickets and they treated us like royalty. We were right up front with access to an onstage platform for most of the acts if you wished to go up there. We were right up front for all acts for both Peachtree and Pine stages. It was back and forth, back and back and forth from one great act to the next. The crowd was not too big and getting from stage to stage was easy. Jack White burned up the stage, David Byrne was amazing (I am seeing him again tonight at the much more stately theatre Calgary's Jubilee.) The National!! Matt came down into the crowd! I have the bad cellphone pics to prove it. Say what you will about them Greta Van Fleet were awesome to watch. It was amazing start to finish and worth every dollar! I had only one real clash where I gave up seeing Jack Black (I have seen him before) to go see the Voidz before the National came on. The Festival was in Central Park which is only a short walk from all the major downtown hotels and with all the crowds it was safe to walk.

or this one

I just saw Benjamin clementine. He was subbing for David Byrne. What an amazing voice and presence!. And so apropos of who David would choose to have tour with him.
