Interpol, Joy Division and Depeche Mode all perform[ed] great music without sucking and none performed "good poppy underwear dance disco." You're changing the subject with your sub-Dada commentary. I'm free to stand where I want, and also to offer whatever criticism I want. And they're free to suck. Huh.

yeah- what IZ all the fuss about She Wants Revenge, Bob?? Why are you being so fussy? somebands just dont do good poppy underwear dance disco like the scissor sisters. too bad. and you were free to stand where you wanted. You couldve gotten some coney island clams and fries sprinkled with cigarette ash. hmmm...

I had to wonder what all the fuss is about She Wants Revenge. I thought they were a poor rip-off of Interpol - and not remotely worthy of comparison with Joy Division. And their Depeche Mode cover? Truly cringe-worthy. Thankfully, Scissor Sisters put on a fantastic show and made up for the hour of my life lost standing through She Wants Revenge.

Tapes 'N Tapes was a non-event. Good thing I didn't pay to see that.

"I've never been as down on She Wants Revenge as many people seem to be, so I didn't mind going over and checking them out a bit before Art Brut. For the one and a half songs I stuck it out for, I didn't think it was awful, but it wasn't that great either." hmm...

i was pleasantly thrilled with priestess. obviously, they probably work best at night( instead of squinting in the sun) and with some beer in my belly but they actually surprised me with their chops and songs. Still nice way to start the fest .

Wow, you weren't happy with their opening act for AF last year? I thought they were great then, but haven't had a chance to catch them recently.
