I haven't been up to anything today. I don't care. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. Basically not much happening right now. Maybe tomorrow. I guess it doesn't bother me.

So they announced three more bands, or so it was printed in the Village Voice. Ambulance LTD. who are so so so so boring, Morningwood who tear it up and will probably be remembered as the best band to play this years festival, and The Diamond Nights who while i don't know if I have heard them, all my friedns tell me that they are so bad it hurts and to avoid them like the plague. The line up seems to be pretty weak when all is said and done. Maybe there are too many other festivals to compete with now.

The Dears rock. Wasn't this festival originally about estrogen power?

Someone spilled beer on someone during an outdoor music show? Where the heck is Letitia Baldridge when we need her.

I disagree, Q And Not U is fun, and The Dears are great.

After getting beer spilled all over me not once, twice, but THREE times at the past Siren Festivals, I just can't attend this year. Where are the crazy rockers?

Boring! Dungen was TERRIBLE during CMJ at the Vice Party and the rest of those bands are a snooze fest as well.

Maybe this year they can get the PA to sound better than a feral cat jumping around inside a wet cardboard box. Dungen: yay! Everyone else: yawn.

Remind me to remember that while I love Coney Island and will get out there several other times this summer, that I'm too smart, too short, and--at 30--too damn old to stand out in the hot sun on my tiptoes straining to see/hear above the clamor. Not to mention how BAD the crowd smelled last year. It was as if not bathing was the new black. I must be an indie-yuppie. That means I have a job--gasp!--I can buy a ticket to a real show if I want.
