    I would try to see Against Me!...I never thought I would like them but I saw them at Lollapalooza last year and they were really good. I picked up their new album and it's awesome as well. I think they play Saturday, I would definitly check them out

    Drive-by Truckers....best band on the bill....bar none.

    Robert Plant & Alison Krauss are simply amazing live....:cool:

    Les Claypool is the man. :cool:

    Robert Randolph, DBT, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Grand Ole Party would all be great sets to hit.

    The Swell Season. I don't know who's playing at the same time they are, but if you can swing it, I think they're a MUST. If you've seen the film "Once", The Swell Season is the name that Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova perform under together. If you haven't seen it, it's worth watching, or at least listening to the soundtrack. Glen Hansard (from the band The Frames), is simply phenomenal to watch!

    It's too bad the raconteurs and les claypool are on at the same time. A hard decision there. I guess i am glad i don't have to make it.

    One problem with your signature... The Wings are gonna smoke em... And Datsyuk and Zetterberg are gonna teach Malkin and Crosby a thing or two.

    Most of the line-up is ok but not my sort of thing. These ones are essential however. Obviously PJ but Cat Power and Sigur Ros are amazing and Iron & Wine is great.

    Fuck yeah. Great band and brilliant live.


    I would also watch Chali 2na from J5 and Talib Kweli.

    Robert Randolph's Revival should be epic! You'll probably hear the sickest version of Voodoo Child ever.

    on thursday i would be going to "this tent" around 8:30. You are already going there to see Vampire Weekend at 11:30 and there are 2 pretty good bands playing before them... Start with MGMT, stay for Battles, and finish with Vampire Weekend. That's a pretty damn good set of 3 at one tent

    too bad MSTRKRFT is playing the same time as MMJ, but you have to go with MMJ on that one.

    on saturday i'd try and catch a bit of Against Me at "that Tent" at 2:15 and leave around 3 to go and see some of Gogol Bordello for an hour at "Which Stage" and leave to go to "This Tent" for 4:30 for Cat Power.
    That night I'd be going for the entire show of Sigur Ros and after that going for an hour of Ghostland Observatory over at "This Tent".

    I would definately be going to Broken Social Scene on Sunday at 6-7:30 at "The Other Tent"

    why does MMJ get 3 hours
    Metallica 2.5 hours

    but PJ only gets 2 hours?
