the official video was just released a few days ago-- take your pick:
despite this year's lackluster headliners, LOLLAPALOOZA really was three days of awesome. both fleet foxes and bon iver put on great shows on friday. A-TRAK, SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO, AND CROOKERS all spun that night, obviously making for a crazy dance party. the MAJOR LAZER, SMD, CROOKERS, and LA RIOTS aftershow at congress theatre was nuts-- a hype dude for major lazer spent quite a while feigning sex with raunchy caribbean girls and pouring alcohol into people's mouths in the audience (including mine). fantastic sets on all parts, though.
saturday began with a set from KASKADE, who had a pair of scantily-clad dancers/cheerleaders attempting to hype up the crowd. he was followed by avey tare and geologist of ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, who were fairly awful. their set consisted of music that heavily influences their work, which wasn't bad, just inappropriate for a festival setting. not to mention the infinite number of tools pretending to enjoy it just because it was animal collective. ANDY BUTLER put on a mind-blowing DJ set after perry farrell's cracked out performance with his terrifying wife. from what i saw, LA RIOTS was pretty good, but shortly after they started i headed over to the vitaminwater stage for the animal collective show, which I also left almost immediately.
YEAH YEAH YEAHS headlined, which was fantastic-- karen o was sporting a pretty fantastic outfit-- or outfits, i should say, and put on quite a show.
sunday was a busy day. we began by catching a bit of a glitch mob, which was shitty, and only for the purpose of seeing BOYS NOIZE, who pretty much started a riot at perry's. this was followed by SNOOP DOGG, and a bit of MSTRKRFT, and a deadmau5 headlining show.
BLACKSPOT shoes are the the new, anti-brand/corporation sneaker. they're 100% hemp and vegetarian--I definitely like the concept, but the design isn't quite enough to make me want to run out and buy these. even though its more about the idea as opposed to the design, they could definitely do a little more with it. if they're your style, you can check them out at the adbusters website.
