Geoff -- "I just never got into the Arcade Fire set...just didn't do it for me." Do you have a pulse?

Not to mention the wind bumped Michael Franti to the Yeti Stage.....during the same slot as Beastie Boys. Sucked. Caught most of the Beasties, then the last 30 minutes of Michael Franti, glad I did. My favorites of the weekend in order: Beastie Boys on Sunday, Ghostland Obs., Black Angels & Interpol. Ghostland was one of the most unique/intense sets I've ever seen. I knew I'd enjoy Beastie Boys, but was really blown away by them. Great to hear lots of instrumental tunes from them...impressive. Was disappointed in Arcade Fire and Manu Chao. I just never got into the Arcade Fire set...just didn't do it for me. Manu Chao had a few nice moments, but every song seemed to end the same, which annoyed the hell out of me. Neko Case's set was boring as all hell....and I love her. I usually enjoy the Long Winters, but their set was indeed "safe"(boring).

You didn't stick around for the second (Sunday) day, eh? Wind Storm took Polyphonic Spree off the bill, and put Spoon on hours late. O for 3 for the festival weather.

so that pipe organ in arcade fire's set was fake, right? the pipes weren't even connected to anything.
