I was completely OK with GZA wearing his own merchandise. It just felt right. The only problem with his set was that 90% of the crowd was just waiting for Sonic Youth to come on. So, while Jason, a few others, and I were all completely pumped and into it, most of the crowd was dead. They missed out.
SONIC YOUTH
I wish i could convey how fucking crazy the crowd got when Sonic Youth started, but we decided to get the hell out of there.
CALIFONE
BATTLES
Were fucking amazing.
This is a picture of Tyondai Braxton playing both guitar and keyboard AT THE SAME TIME. The other guitarist could do this too. It makes my brain hurt.
IRON AND WINE
Covering Radiohead's "No Surprises"
CLIPSE
Easily the best show of the day and, for me, the entire festival.
The Menomena, Jamie Lidell, and Cool Kids pictures are all kind of lame, but each of them put on a really good show.
CADENCE WEAPON
What a character. He covered Weezer's "Pink Triangle" as a finale (Try to imagine that. You can't.) and kept dissing Fuze's Water Plus ("It's got what plants crave!"). Besides that, though, his DJ was incredible even though he looked like a rapist, and Cadence is one hell of a rapper.
I am so proud of myself for that.
OF MONTREAL
They were pretty decent, but I don't regret missing most of their set for Cadence Weapon.
The crowd was obviously super into them, though.
THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS
Even though both Dan Bejar and Neko Case were missing (bringing up the completely fair arguement of "Can you really call this group The New Pornographers, then?), The New Pornos put on a really good show. I think my dancing was scaring the middle-aged couple who were doing bowl hits during the set.
All in all, a great time was had.
