Hehe, I could see Kraftwerk being good "brain" music lol. The difference between them now and 25 years ago unfortunately, is they used to use all the heavy-duty equipment before, and now I think they just use lap-tops lol

What the cruel irony regarding being in So-cal in 2 weeks is, I just know the weather is gonna be beautiful here in Minneapolis. Right now we're in the mdist of a rain/snow mix. Ass weather... pretty much like an average Minnesota winter that will once again pretty much find a way to almost last until May. With the weather so crappy this weekend, I wish the fest was going right now. But in 2 weeks, I predict it will be 75 and sunny in Minneapolis. I guess if that's true, at least most people in MN will be couch potatos watching the NFL draft, not enjoying the weather anyway lol.

That's a pretty good taste in music Coach. Although Jens Lekmen just makes me think of the "Loveboat" theme song for some reason... His music just gives me a "gay tacky" vibe, but I still kinda dig it lol.

Yeah, not bad, and it actually has a little variety from some of the other fests going this summer. It seems like these big 'fests are just re-hashing the headliners and even the under acts for the most part.
