Lollapalooza Hawks Sleater-Kinney, Hold Steady MP3s
Cutting-edge mics capture complete experience, including that dipshit on the cellphone
Victim of Post-Lollapalooza Withdrawal Disorder? Perry Ferrell's got you covered. The ex-Jane's Addiction frontman and his ever-growing festival enterprise Lollapalooza will soon make available for purchase digital recordings from the 2006 event, which went down from August 4-6 at Chicago's Grant Park with 130 bands and tens of thousands of your closest friends (including your friendly neighborhood 'fork).
This means live recordings of all your Lolla favs, including what appear to be full sets from the Hold Steady, Stars, Be Your Own Pet, Editors, Deadboy & the Elephantmen, and Smoking Popes, along with assorted tunes from Sleater-Kinney (their last-ever Chicago gig), Broken Social Scene, the Go! Team, Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird, Cursive, Wolfmother, Lyrics Born, the Frames, and more-- 26 performers in all.
The tunes will be available in two formats: plain ol' mp3, and snazzy FLAC, a CD-quality type of file that takes up hella space on your harddrive. Click away at www.livelollapalooza.com beginning October 19 when the website launches (according to mtv.com)-- or snag them from iTunes beginning right now.
