December 6, 20169 yr I'm sure there's a bunch of these acts who I've heard but don't know their names because WFPK rarely plays something enough for me to connect artists and songs.
January 31, 20179 yr Well, the lineup just got a lot better with the addition of Sturgill Simpson and Spoon.

March 28, 20179 yr Author Run The Jewels and Mondo Cozmo are the draws on Friday for me....but Run The Jewels is a MAJOR one. On Saturday, it's LCD Soundsystem, Sturgill Simpson, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Phantogram, Judah & the Lion, and Mandolin Orange. Sunday, Charles Bradley and Weezer are both acts that I've seen before and wouldn't mind to see again. ....this is going to be a total toss-up on whether or not I get Saturday only or a weekend pass.
March 28, 20179 yr Further evidence that I just don't get music these days...I've heard of a grand total of two of the acts.
March 28, 20179 yr Author Further evidence that I just don't get music these days...I've heard of a grand total of two of the acts. Weezer & Sturgill Simpson, or Weezer & Spoon?
July 15, 20179 yr Anybody coming down today? I'll be there about 5:00. Dang. Just now spotted this. I was there about 4:30 yesterday until RTJ finished up.
July 15, 20179 yr Was going to go today until I discovered the ticket price for just one person to attend. Had a great anniversary dinner with Mrs. C1 instead and re-stocked our wine and liquor supply! Enjoy today...weather is going to be fantastic!
July 15, 20179 yr Headed up tonight strictly for Sturgill Simpson and a little bit of LCD Soundsystem.
July 16, 20179 yr I was mildly disappointed that we didn't get to see Simpson with the full-on brass band, but the way he shredded on the guitar totally made up for it. Watched a few songs of rapper Vince Staples, but couldn't get real close. I get claustrophobic in that tight crowd at the stage under I-64. Really enjoyed the handful of songs I saw of punk-pop band Beach Slang, who I was unfamiliar with. They did a nice cover of The Pixies' "Where Is My Mind." Wish I could have seen JD McPherson and Nathaniel Raetliff and The Night Sweats, but I had to work at the bar to make the cash I'd be spending tonight. Only so many hours in the day. Watched a couple songs of LCD Soundsystem and it was good, but not good enough to keep me late. I've always been pretty indifferent toward them. Them mentioning that the last time they played L'ville was with Arcade Fire didn't help. Arcade Fire stinks. Hitting up PJ Harvey, Spoon and Weezer tomorrow. I saw Weezer on their first tour for the Blue Album. Great stuff. Have seen Spoon twice but they never disappoint. With 90s alt-rock goddess PJ Harvey, I'm crossing off a bucket list show. I'll be real close with the camera and can't wait. Need to find my copy of "Rid Of Me" to brush up. Real excited about this one. While there was some gnashing of teeth over the quality of the lineup (myself included) this year, what I've seen has all been pretty good. My buddy complained about the two times he saw RTJ that they weren't any count, but they were fantastic Friday.
