Festivals and stuff, I hate making subject titles

Okay, so we all get bored at work. And we only want the best for ourselves; occasionally others but really can't they settle? So for purposes of not doing work and finding what everyone else thinks is the best I present a link to the list of "Best of 2004" lists. Link from LHB. I could read this stuff all day, and if they don't fix the fiber optic cable that was cut in Albuquerque this morning I might.

*Dammit, as soon as I typed that sentence I got a call telling me that everything was fixed. I will never type anything that might hinder my slacking off ever again.

So, I am sure that you have all heard about the supposed Coachella lineup.
I am sure that you have all heard that Billboard is calling
bullshit on this (cred goes to frank for that particular phrasing). What I am going to do is keep record of this and see what is actually different. The days of the festival, the lineups, and
umm.. I dunno.

What confuses me is that the Helio Sequence and Modest Mouse are playing on different nights. I have always seen them together and just assumed that it would always be so.

Other Festival news. South by Southwest. Want the latest info on it. Check out this service that Donewaiting is doing. I check it three times a day. I hope to go this year, since I hope to have nothing better to do at that time.
