I really appreciate it. :)<br />You're such a shameless self-advertiser! ;-) But yeah, your blog's extremely interesting. I'm following!<br />Oh and the bands you write about in this post seem to be really interesting, I'll definitely check out some of them.<br /><br />P.S. So you've been to that uber-epic SY show? I'm really really envious. :PKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17191835423691831726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-58991834767743179252010-07-31T05:59:01.720-07:002010-07-31T05:59:01.720-07:00Good stuff, Dave.

Have their whole Cleveland set on my blog, McCarthysMediaMenace.wordpress.com, in black and white, of course. I'll have to keep a couple of these other groups on my radar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-89468386362568306882010-07-30T20:54:50.662-07:002010-07-30T20:54:50.662-07:00Awesome review Dave.

As for COney Island...never been, but definitely feel the need to go.

It's what makes that particular event unique. <br /><br />Good to read I've made a fan of TPOBPAH out of you, Mr. Smork. Their music is definitely as you describe it. Worth further investigation.<br /><br />Yeah, I know its getting to be that time for some recording equipment upgrades, deadman. My device can no longer handle any kind of forceful bass notes. I guess I've fried the thing from so many show! ;-)<br /><br />I love the Beatles and Pink Floyd song lyric references, by the way. I can see you carry that stuff around in your head, much the way I do.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-69827291559748935022010-07-29T15:58:46.838-07:002010-07-29T15:58:46.838-07:00One of the highlights of any festival or gathering...One of the highlights of any festival or gathering of souls (for me anyway) is people watching. Often times the music & the visuals complement each other to such a degree its eerie. Its always an amazing spectacle to see how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall, or any other venue.<br /> Your prose & photos put me right in the action, but the one video I sampled had sound muddy enough to be served in a mess hall. But it was an impressive line-up & it appears you had a good time. I know I had a good time reading your post.<br />Rock On you crazy diamonddeadmandeadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152046089453636244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-88120971744816133832010-07-29T15:15:07.477-07:002010-07-29T15:15:07.477-07:00i know you read this every time, dave, but great r...i know you read this every time, dave, but great review.<br />i like that you include, both - band sort of reviews and your impressions from the place and some your comment about that. it made reading much easier and fumier to red. :)<br />like the media thing (pics and videos) and i like that you showed some public, not only the band - for us - non visitors of that place it was quiet entertaining.<br />and i got to confess from all the bands you wrote in here i liked TPOBPAH (had to copy and paste the name, cause it is way to long to remember). i like their easy pop, indie or mainstream style - catchy. oh yes and because i like their keyboardist..... :)<br />as for the next year - the sunshine factory should rock the stage with all their visualizations and things! :) well i hope i'll read about it next year. ;)<br />feel the free everybody! :)Mr Smorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114656304341401631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-23620413356417208262010-07-28T17:43:41.178-07:002010-07-28T17:43:41.178-07:00If there is any justice at all, The Sunshine Facto...If there is any justice at all, The Sunshine Factory *should* be playing Siren next year.<br /><br />That would be amazing.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-35080319203913964832010-07-28T16:13:51.773-07:002010-07-28T16:13:51.773-07:00Fantastic job, love all the pictures and the pin p...Fantastic job, love all the pictures and the pin point commentary.

Fantastic!<br /><br />I don't even know which band to praise. Each one of them speaks with a totally unique voice even though there are similar elements. I think I would choose Cymbals Eat Guitars as those who managed to have the best sound this time, a very colorful and intense performance from what I can see and hear.<br /><br />Gee, that's a lot of stuff here. But that's the thing about festivals, right? It's the ocean of music in which we're supposed to drown. And drown you did, Dave!<br /><br />Thank you for bringing us the news from under the waters of sound ;)<br /><br />Fantastic job.
