The 11 Most Exciting Bands at Coachella 2010
Posted on Thursday, January 21, 2010 in Uncategorized
The lineup for the 2010 Coachella show is out. And some strange headliners. Jay-z the first night…okay, I can see it. Muse the 2nd night…yeah, I guess…may be too commercial for the show…but okay. Gorillaz the 3rd night. Gorillaz? Headliner? Aren’t they just a novelty act? Considering you have Thom Yorke (a previous headliner) and the Pavement reunion on the same night…you went with Gorillaz as the headliner…okay…
These aren’t necessarily the best bands playing at the show. These aren’t the bands who might put on the best performances. And these aren’t even the bands that I think everyone else would be excited about seeing. These are the bands that I, personally, am excited to see at the show. Some big reunions (Pavement, FNM, PIL, and SDRE)…and some of 2009′s breakout sensations (Phoenix, the XX, Grizzly Bear). Should be an awesome show…too bad I can’t go.
The 11 Most Exciting Acts I’m Most Excited to see playing at Coachella 2010:
1. Pavement (April 18)
2. Faith No More (April 17)
3. Sunny Day Real Estate (April 18)
4. MGMT (April 17)
5. Phoenix (April 18)
6. the XX (April 17)
7. Grizzly Bear (April 16)
8. Sly and the Family Stone (April 18)
9. Vampire Weekend (April 16)

The 11 Best Bands Who Replaced Their Singer
Posted on Friday, October 2, 2009 in Uncategorized
It’s tough to accept a new Alice in Chains album is in stores. And it’s not really because it’s hard to accept that Layne has been replaced…what is hardest to accept is that it’s finally official that he’s really gone. He will be missed…but that’s no reason for the band not to go on. Jerry Cantrell wrote most of the music…and sang on a lot of the songs…so there’s not a very radical departure from their earlier material. The new singer does a decent job…and the album is overall very respectable to the Layne AIC legacy.
AIC isn’t the first to continue on after replacing their lead singer…here are some of the best…
