Monolith Festival

Today is the last day to purchase regular priced tickets for the '09 Monolith Festival, which goes down at Red Rocks in CO on September 12 + 13. As we've mentioned, this year's lineup features Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Girl Talk, Of Montreal, DOOM, Phoenix, the Walkmen, Method Man & Redman, Chromeo, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, HEALTH, Neon Indian, Rahzel, and the list goes on... ...

From the same guy who brought us Wavves vs. the British Railway Council and that absurd Animal Collective x Phaseone clip comes this unofficial video for Best Coast's "Sun Was High (So Was I)." Not sure how this song -- which is like a week old -- already has two awesome unofficial fan videos, but this dude is officially 3-for-3: mp3: ************ elsewhere: yeah yeah yeahs My two favor

This is shaping up to be pretty amazing, and they're only about half way done announcing the lineup, with a few huge surprises still to come.

There were bands, too: highlights from yesterday included Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Holy Fuck, JV, Blitzen Trapper, Cut Copy, and White Denim (not necessarily in that order)..

Montreal's Handsome Furs have just been added to an already stacked Sunday Monolith Fest lineup at Red Rocks, joining Justice, TV On The Radio, Band of Horses, Sharon Jones, CSS, Akron/Family, the Kills, and many others. I have sort of a newfound appreciation for Dan's genius after seeing Wolf Parade play a lot of his new material in Dallas recently, so I'm pretty excited about seeing his other b

del (photo) Someone sent me a new Del "leak pack" with an unreleased track called "30 30" (not to be confused with "3030"). I hesitate to call this new, because, a. it sounds like he's just freestyling over a tossed-off beat from the mid '90s, b...

One of the bands I was already pretty psyched about seeing at next month's Monolith Festival is TVOTR, and the first jam from their upcoming Dear Science LP (streaming over at their website) only adds to my excitement. The first thing about "Golden Age" that grabbed me is that filthy-ass bassline, but after reading a couple writeups on the track, I've yet to see anyone mention that it s
