I am now a man.
Review:
Each of us has music that takes us back to certain points in our lives, and that’s a unique trait of music. You remember hearing things at certain moments you deem to be important, and you make a mental note of those things, and those songs always hold a special place in your heart.

I’m going to be attending Lollapalooza’s Saturday festivities in Chicago on August 8th, and I plan on doing a MAJOR write up on the festival experience as a whole, while also breaking down the individual artists sets.

Arctic Monkeys or Coheed and Cambria?
TV on the Radio or Rise Against?
Ben Harper and the Relentless 7 or Animal Collective?
As well, if there is anyone else on that lineup you would like to see a review of, let me know. I’ll do my best to oblige, unless of course you have horrible taste, I change my mind at the last minute, or I end up a bit too intoxicated to freely roam the streets of Chicago.
