Yes hipster jokes abound but:
Akron/Beasties/Black Keys/Chair Lift/Cool kids/fleet foxes/flying lotus/Ghostland/kool kieth/knux/mgmt/national/pharcyde/ra ra riot/silversun/steel train/telepathe/v weekend/white rabbits/yyys –
all sound good to me regardless of how tight or patchworky my pants may be.
the comedy lineup is good.
