Hey I love the lineup! But are you guys fucking retarded or just pretentious assholes!? The only way I can see the set times before the show is if I buy a fucking iphone/pad? My normal internet works just fine, you couldnt have some intern do 5 fucking minutes of typing? If I miss Manchester Orchestra you can bet your ass there will be hell to pay

Live 105′s 80s/90s Faded Glory

Morrissey was right, there is no justice in this world. If there was, THE STROKES would headline this gig (as evidenced by Live 105′s own poll showing THE STROKES as the top choice with 32.94% of votes.)

Thanks for re-posting Morrissey’s perspective on new group Young the Giant. They sound quite sincere and evocative. Now I can look forward to more than just THE STROKES, BAD RELIGION, and SNOOP.

I have never understood LINKIN PARK. Payola, perhaps? (Aren’t they a bit thick? I guess my favourite bands aren’t for everyone either.)

I’m very excited for bfd this year, yes, even in the rain, but do we have set times yet???

Set times are on the BFD page at http://live105.radio.com/2011/06/03/plan-your-day-at-bfd-2011-artist-set-times/ and on the BFD App!

My mistake, I had no idea this starts so late. I would love to see LP but they’re not even scheduled to take the stage until 9:30? On a school night? My teenager has finals the next day. With gas so expensive and $40 parking we will probably just burn the $142. My mistake, my bad.

[...] Sharing the stage with great artists like Wolfgang Gartner, Blaqk Audio, and Innerpartysystem (among many others), KidHack dropped a slammin’ set of Dubstep, Drumstep, DnB, and just really some sick ass [...]
