So I'm putting it to you - my MOG friends - to help a brother out. Here's my list (also if there's a band I've completely skipped over I'd love to hear it):FRIDAY:Greyhounds vs Asleep at the WheelTed LeoGUSTERWOLF PARADESubdudes vs Nickle Creek vs Gnarls BarkleyCat Power vs GomezTHIEVERY CORP!!!Sparklehorse vs Ray Lamontagne vs Rest/foodVan Morrison (no conflicts)SATURDAY:(I know nothing about any of the early bands: Pierre Guimard, Centro-matic, Murder by Death, Federico Aubele, Galactic - should I just hang back and go later?)Nada Surf vs Secret MachinesThe ShinsCalexico vs Aimee MannRaconteursKINGS OF LEON!!!a little or a lot of Willie Nelson...thenMassive AttackSUNDAY:THE BLACK ANGELS!!!The StillsHusky RescueDamian Marley vs KT TunstallJose Gonzalez vs Kasey Chambers vs rest/foodMatisyahu (not a Ween fan)Los Amigos vs New Pornographers vs Son Volt vs BoDeansFlaming LipsG LOVE vs MUSE...

    Bawston Sean says Definitely check out Centr-o-matic on Sunday. Their new album is really rockin'. We listen to it at the record store all the time.

    Wanbli says For the .vs, I would most likely check these out. * indicicates I have seen them perform live Greyhounds vs Asleep at the Wheel = Asleep at the Wheel Subdudes vs Nickle Creek* vs Gnarls Barkley* = Nickel Creek Cat Power* vs Gomez = Cat Power Sparklehorse vs Ray Lamontagne* vs Rest/food = Ray Lamontagne (I know nothing about any of the early bands: Pierre Guimard, Centro-matic, Murder by Death*, Federico Aubele, Galactic* – should I just hang back and go later?) Out of these I can recommend seeing Galactic. Nada Surf vs Secret Machines = Nada Surf Calexico* vs Aimee Mann* = Aimee Mann Damian Marley* vs KT Tunstall* = Damian Marley Jose Gonzalez vs Kasey Chambers vs rest/food = Jose Gonzalez Los Amigos vs New Pornographers vs Son Volt* vs BoDeans = New Pornographers G LOVE* vs MUSE = Muse No matter who you see, looks like an incredible line-up and I'm sure you'll have a blast. Looking forward to reading your MOG upon your return

    green64 says I'm having the same problem choosing on a lot of those bands, but I agree with the Calexico v. Aimee Mann. Saw her in Lawrence in Jan. and she was awesome.

    roscoebear says This is perfect. Yeah, I saw Secret Machines at Coachella 05. The drummer, Josh Garza, blew me away. Then again, I've never seen Nada Surf live, and I really liked their CD. I will start listening to Galactic today. Thanks.

    slrevare says I'd pick Nickel Creek over the Subdudes only because I've seen the 'Dudes so many times. If you've never seen the Subdudes I'd check them out when they play in KC next time. They always put on a great live show. They have a big following here for some reason. I remember seeing them at Jimmy's Jigger way back when. You might also check to see who's playing late night shows in Austin. I saw some great shows late at night when I went in '03.

    blackbirdonalonelywire says I'm still torn about Calexico v. Aimee Mann myself. I've heard good things about both of them. Jose Gonzalez vs Kasey Chambers vs rest/food I'm going with Kasey Chambers. But I'm a big fan of hers. She's good. And she doesn't do many US shows so chances to see her are few and far between. Damian Marley vs KT Tunstall -- I'm going with KT Tunstall myself. I don't know much about either of them, but I like what I've heard of KT.

    catsailor says Calexico win over Aimee Mann! Very cool sound and a bit different. Aimee Mann sadly has become elevator music! Death to any artist! (shame cos she can sing and write) but Calexico were one of my best finds last year.. worth a look for sure. Cat Power V Gomez - Thats a tough call! Think Cat Power has flashes of genius so would probably check her over Gomez who can be disappointing live (least they were when I saw them in London) Very jealous of that Fest of yours, I am waiting for Glastonbury (Our equivalent) Like your music man! New on this site so any pointers to some of your local talent would be good! Enjoy...
