Is insinuating that everyone around here is 10 years behind the entertainment curve a sittle silly to anyone else?
I’m not insinuating “everyone around here” (wherever ‘here’ is). I’m saying the fat, inbred, muffin-top people who scarf down funnel cakes are at least a decade behind. And those are the people who go to belcher.
And no i’m not saying ‘new’ is better. I’m saying bands like Cracker and better than ezra are basically washed-up one hit wonders who havent had a new album in a very long time. That makes them a silly choice for a festival. I can think of a lot of ‘older’ bands who would be great to see at belcher, but none of them will ever be selected because the idiots who choose these bands are from the above mentioned demographic.
but, really, when was the last time you heard a new Cracker song?
“O’ Cracker, Where Art Thou?” was a fine album. I mean, it was just their old stuff with backing by Leftover Salmon, but it was released a mere six years ago. By Bele Chere standards, that makes them practically a red-hot band of the moment.
Just out of curiosity, how did Mountain X snag the names of bands playing this year? The actual Bele Chere 2009 site still says “check back soon for lineup”.
