Hmm. Didn't realise they only had 2 hours. I was going to put them off as I expected a 2.5+ hour sludgefest.

If they just bang out the hits one after the other though, this could be a lot of fun.

I've got something to think about now.

It sounds like it's made my the band they would have been if they carried on in the direction of There Is Nothing Left To Lose, does anyone get me on that? Maybe something in the production.

I luv riffs.

Quoting a friend...

Dynamicly, it's everywhere - quiet, loud, heavy, soft - that's the Nirvana method. I thought we had another "Pretender" style Foo's song with the way it opened and I rolled my eyes, then it switched gears and headed into "white limo" territory and I was like "FINALLY!!!" Hope there's alot more like this on the album, heavier Foo's is the best Foo's.

Only just given that new one a listen. Never thought I'd say it but I actually really want them to play it at Glastonbury. Sounds like it'd be great opener. Still a standard Foos song really but agree that it's the best thing theyve done for a while - much better than anything from Sonic Highways.

Whereas at first I was mostly just going to see them for a nostalgia trip/because there wasn't much to pull me away, the closer it's getting and with the release of that surprisingly good/not shit song I'm actually pretty stoked for this now so thought I'd give a realistic setlist a go. Some wishful thinking but mostly realistic considering they'll almost definitely be doing a straight up greatest hits set there isn't that much wiggle room:

1. Run
2. Learn to Fly
3. White Limo
4. Times Like These
5. Big Me
6. The Pretender
7. My Hero
8. Arlandria
9. Something From Nothing
10. This is a Call
11. Breakout
12. Rope
13. Walk
14. For All the Cows
15. Stacked Actors
16. Best of You

17. All My Life
18. Aurora
19. Monkey Wrench
20. Everlong

You can pretty much guarantee they'll play Cold Day in the Sun and something shit from Sonic Highways instead of Aurora and Stacked Actors but ah well.

    • Plenty of good stuff this month. Very difficult choice, but I'm going with some of those I've listened to most (the sunny weather may also have been influential)...   1. The Coral - 388 2. Kurt Vile - Philadelphia's Been Good to Me 3. The Lemon Twigs - Look For Your Mind!   Others I've been enjoying... Laurie Anderson's live album, Broken Social Scene, Pigeon, The Black Keys, etc
    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.
