well, to say something: as always, primavera was fantastic. a few things didn't work out for me. at some acts the sound at the pitchfork stage was really terrible, i heard more of the new pornographers than of tobias jesso jr. can't remember having that problem in the past years (and i was there for mount eerie at atp a few years ago), so it might just be that i was standing in the wrong place. and i do think that on thursday and friday after midnight there should have been more diversive guitar-acts. the doom/metal-thing was great in its on way, but too much of the same…
anyway, primavera is doing such a good job when it comes to music. so thank you again!
best performances i saw in no particular order:
spiritualized - wasn't planning on seeing them again, but man, am i thankfull that i went to the show. they played lots of stuff from amazing grace, kinda odd choice, but the magic did happen.
hookworms - wow! while thee oh sees (at the apollo at least) was a bit of a bro-rock-thing, this was really out there. more noise than on the record.
run the jewels - we are the champions!
electric wizard - massive
disappears - i thought the early slot would be a waste for them, but somehow it worked. the sun, the noise, the sweat, the drums.
the replacements - should have been longer, but still, this show was kind of a once in a lifetime deal. so, thanks for that!
single mothers @ unplugged - some wild fun, perfect.
babes in toyland, julie ruin, perfume genius, dfa79, pallbearer, soft moon, health, sunn o))), mikal cronin (the few songs i saw), fucked up and sleaford mods were great too.
