The Coachella Lineup is Out. Oh No, Wait--This is Bonnaroo. Fair Mistake.
Or maybe you just got deja vu? Because this is a lot like Coachella. I'm not saying that's good, and I'm not saying that's bad. But I am saying that the festival you pick is more or less down to whether you'd rather see Eminem and Florence and the Machine or Kanye West and Kings of Leon.
Frankly, it makes little difference to me because I know for a fact I cannot go to either. Stupid facts....they think they're so smart... I'm hoping Osheaga will make it up to me. Fingers crossed.

Sprawl Of Glass: The Arcade Fire x Blondie Mashup You Should've Seen Coming
The Hood Internet has done a mashup of Blondie's Heart of Glass and Arcade Fire's Sprawl II. Now that someone's done it, it seems so obvious, but I honestly never realised how similar these songs are before this. The mix is easy--maybe a little too easy to make it all that impressive. But it picks up in the second half.
And I apologize in advance for the weird sex dream you'll inevitably have tonight about Win Butler's head on Debbie Harry's body. Tomorrow morning's gonna feel awkward.

Boss Stuff on the Interwebs: Wednesday Links 26/01/11
- I'm already on the record as saying how much I love a good music documentary. Big Fun in the Big Town goes back to 1986's "up and coming" hip-hop movement in NYC. It features a young Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash, Ice-T, Biz Markie, LL Cool J ...the list goes on, the documentary looks great, and guerolitomusic just reminded me that the word "fresh" needs to make a comeback.
- Six months after a cautiously positive review, and just one month after naming it the #2 best album of last year, Stereogum has a nice long article complaining about Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. Not that I care either way, but pick a side. Then just wait for the next single to come out to milk the album for pageviews, like the rest of us.
- Wondering what "progressive shoegaze" is? Hyperbole will demonstrate with Melbourne band Leagues and a sweet picture of Wonderwoman.
- The Kills are planning a world tour and a new album. Details at Electric Comic Book.
- What's Protocol has The Swell Season, The Frames, and City & Colour. Saves me three posts right there.
- So the creator of the musical abomination that is Glee got pissy with Kings of Leon and Slash because they won't let the show use their music. gleesucks.com is the only necessary rebuttal to that bitchery (Spinner)
