The Bumbershoot 2004 lineup has been announced. Sweet. Quite a few big names catch my eye and will be fun to see, but I’m also looking forward to discovering a few new acts that I might not have heard of otherwise (I find at least one or two more each year).
Just calling out a few that catch my interest…
Friday: The Clumsy Lovers
Saturday: Seal, Nancy Sinatra, Robyn Hitchcock
Sunday: Public Enemy
Monday: The Pixies, Toots and the Maytals (Kevin just played some of their stuff for me on his way through last weekend), Critters Buggin’
Not as many “must see” acts as there have been in the past few years for me, all in all. In fact, the only one to really make me sit up and get excited was Public Enemy. Still, it’s certainly not a bad initial list of possibilities, and as I said before, it’s the unexpected discoveries that can be the most fun.
iTunes: “Pine Effect” by µ-Ziq from the album In Pine Effect (1995, 4:51).
