Fuzzy Bits: June 22, 2006

Lollapalooza Schedule Finally Announced


For all of you planning to attend Lollapalooza this year, the schedule has finally been released, so start planning your days now so you don't miss anyone! Tickets are still available for $140, but if you don't act soon, prices will jump another $10. A full guide to Lollapalooza will be coming up in the next few days, but I have to say overall I'm very impressed by the scheduling-- I won't have to make as many critical decisions as I thought I would. That being said, the three tough choices will be choosing between the following bands: Secret Machines or Iron & Wine, Common or The Flaming Lips, Ben Kweller or Nickel Creek. An interesting side note, there looks to be a special guests that will be playing opposite The Raconteurs on Day 2, time will tell what that turns out to be (I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment by saying this, but I'm still holding out for a Smashing Pumpkins reunion).


Intonation Festival this weekend


Speaking of Chicago-related festival, the Intonation Music Festival will be held this Saturday and Sunday at Union Park (near the United Center). If it weren't for the unpredictable weather and the lack of in-and-out privileges, I'd probably be there, but nonetheless, here are a few artists that are performing: Bloc Party, The Streets, Ghostface Killah, Dead Prez, Jon Brion (yes, the guy that did the soundtracks to Eternal Sunshine, Magnolia, and I Heart Huckabees), up and coming star (and Chicago native) Lupe Fiasco, and Rhymefest. Obviously the theme is mainly hip-hop oriented, with more than a few wrinkles to keep you guessing, but it should be a very intriguing event.
