Lollapalooza 2006 Live Broadcasts

Uh yeah, you remember Lollapalooza right? I haven’t been to one since the early days when you could stare up Courtney Love’s dress while listening to Pavement rock out (favorite quote from no less than 5 people watching me and a friend dance to Pavement: “So, you actually know who this band is? Who the hell is this?”

Anyhow, so I’m too old to go to one of these things now. But maybe I’ll watch it live from the comfort of my home, and you can too since they’re broadcasting some of the bands performing online. Of course, they don’t tell you exactly which ones (at least they haven’t yet) but I know from the Subpop site that at least 2 worth watching will be online: Iron and Wine and Sleater-Kinney, the latter which will be calling it quits soon after they perform.

Anyway the link to view it is at the ATT Blueroom. Lollapalooza is being held this year Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 4th-6th 2006.

Here’s the other bands who I’m hoping they’ll webcast: Wilco, Death Cab For Cutie, The Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, The Shins, Sonic Youth, Broken Social Scene, The New Pornographers, eels, Stars, Calexico, Nada Surf, Of Montreal, Rainer Maria, and Oh No! Oh My!
