Uh Oh: No mention of vuvuzelas on the "don't bring" list
The Pool Parties are just about a week away, and the lineup has finally been announced... maybe. Here's what the schedule allegedly looks like; it was posted yesterday but the organizers at Jelly then wrote something about "the person posing as one of us, the elusive non-existent 'hacker' and the fake line up." What? Anyway, we happened to see a confirmed lineup earlier this week that looked very similar to this, so there's a pretty good shot it's what you'll be hearing at the Williamsburg waterfront this summer:
July 11
Xiu Xiu and Deerhoof play Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, Why?, Fang Island, Pictureplane
July 18
Murder City Devils, Obits, Jeff the Brotherhood, Silverghost
July 25
Cap'n Jazz, Lightning Bolt, No Age, The Death Set
August 1
Block Party @ Brooklyn Bowl (TBA)
August 8
Cut Copy, Memory Tapes, Glasser, Restless People
August 15
!!!, Lee Fields, The Strange Boys, Future Islands
August 22
Chromeo, TBA, The Suzan, Telephoned
August 29
Super Special Guests (TBD), Delorean, Dominique Young Unique
Yeah, I don't get the negativity either. I don't like all of these bands, but there are some that I am excited to see, particularly for free. And these events are usually pretty fun.

I really don't understand all the negativity. Let's sum this up...you get to see the Xiu Xiu, !!!, Delorean, Lightning Bolt, Lee Fields,No Age , Cut Copy, Murder City Devils, Obits, etc. for FREE and all you can do is whine about it? Stay the hell home and give us all a break.
And Tracer Bullet....this is why people hate you.

Oh, this is why people hate hipsters! I understand now.
