i don't really know what it is, either. i just like it that chode is worked up..all i know is that TEO, Crispy and I are gonna drop some E and grab our raver lunchboxes and hit the dubstep tent at some point..

I for one am looking forward to some time in that substop (I hope it's not too far to walk) lunch tent and some Extra-crispy KFC (but don't drop it! the ground's dirty) with any other geriatrics who wish to join us. That is what you were talking about, right, Penny?

[e_wind]

i has a couple questions!... any rumors or news for this fest? anyone know  whenthe full line up be released? is mmj the only headliner?? ??? any info will be appreciated

it is supposed to be 4-6 weeks from the jacket announcement till the full line up is out, so probably early-mid march.  they are being very tight lipped as far as the rest of the line up.  i have two friends on the advisory committee and they dont know anything... or at least they are not telling me... bastards.

i have been told that it will be big though, real big.

there will be three headliners, one for each night.

i´ve heard this as well. i´ve been asking people that refuse to tell, but assure my i´ll be happy. I've been told that "christmas in july" is an understatement.

Dubstep attracts many bad people. ....no dubstep!

agree!

i hope yall know they will not allow canes into the festival grounds.  you will need something else to shake at the stage.

i dont really even know what dubstep is, but if pretty lights and bassnectar are dubstep, im on board.  i hear them both describes as glitch hop, but i dont know what that is either.  its hell getting old and out of touch.

i don't really know what it is, either. i just like it that chode is worked up..all i know is that TEO, Crispy and I are gonna drop some E and grab our raver lunchboxes and hit the dubstep tent at some point..

to add to the drama---chode, perhaps it's not dubstep you're against, maybe it's "BROSTEP", the subgenre.. ;) ;D


'Brostep' and American developmentsIn 2011, Dubstep gained significant traction in the US market by way of a post-dubstep style known as 'brostep' with the American producer Skrillex becoming something of a figurehead for the scene. In September 2011 a Spin Magazine EDM special referred to brostep as a "lurching and aggressive" variant of dubstep that has proven commercially successful in the United States.[108] Unlike traditional dubstep production styles, that emphasize sub-bass content, brostep accentuates the middle register and features "robotic fluctuations and metal-esque aggression." According to Simon Reynolds, as dubstep gained larger audiences and moved from smaller club based venues to larger outdoor events, sub-sonic content was gradually replaced by distorted bass riffs that function roughly in the same register as the electric guitar in heavy metal.[109]

The term brostep has been used by some as a pejorative descriptor for a style of popular Americanised dubstep.[110] Dubstep purists have leveled criticisms at brostep because of its preoccupation with "hard" and aggressive sounding timbres. In the UK brostep has been jokingly called "bruvstep" and "mid-range cack". US producers often drew inspiration from British producers who tended to work less with sub-bass and more with mid-range sounds such as Caspa, Rusko, and Vexd.[111] Rusko commented in an interview on BBC's 1Xtra radio show that "brostep is sort of my fault, but now I've started to hate it in a way...It's like someone screaming in your face for an hour...you don't want that."[112] Commenting on the success of American producers such as Skrillex, Skream has stated: "I think it hurts a lot of people over here because it's a UK sound, but it's been someone with influences outside the original sound that has made it a lot bigger. The bad side of that is that a lot of people will just say 'dubstep equals Skrillex'. But in all honesty it genuinely doesn't bother me. I like the music he makes."[113]

Other North American artists that have come to be associated with the brostep sound are Canadian producers Datsik and Excision. Their production style has been described by Mixmag as "a viciously harsh, yet brilliantly produced sound that appealed more to Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails fans than it did to lovers of UK garage." Other noted producers include 12th Planet and Bassnectar, who are considered by some to be early pioneers of the subgenre

Yes, that about sums it up.

It annoys me less as a genre and more because I've had to deal with a bunch of idiots, all using the word "bro" excessively, going on about how it's a the greatest thing ever and playing it for me like it'll be a life-changing experience and now the only valid form of music. They remind me of Metal Heads that get so puritanical about their preferred form of metal that all else is invalid and for vaginas.

That, and/or they're really just 30 year olds who haven't left the fraternity/wigger aesthetic behind.

We all know how Fratboys can bring down a crowd, agreed?

Sorry, this never gets old for me

You know you're one of my top bros, bro, because you got my back. And I got yours. You're my bro. But you went above and beyond the other night, bromaldehyde. You really did. Saving me that seat at the Velvet Revolver show, even though all those other bros were trying to get up front, bro? So clutch.

You are truly a god among bros.

Just when I think you're as solid as a bro can get, you raise the very definition of brodom to new heights. You're like a brogle, soaring to the farthest reaches of the atbrosphere. Seriously. If it weren't for you and your extreme brobility to hook a bro up when it is most croosh, I'd have been stuck in some bitch-ass seat, cramped all in the corner with a bunch of bitch-asses, bro. But you stepped up. You brovercame all obstacles to help a bro out. This is the kind of shit that makes bros for life.

Brody, I was so stoked when you told Gina to go eat a fat one after she asked if she could have your other ticket, even though you knew you could probably get a pretty deese HJ from her. Bros before hos, bro. That's what I'm talking about.

You are the king of all bros. Brotankhamen. You are the Ayatollah Bromeini. You are Broseidon, lord of the brocean.

But this is just one of many times you've fallen on a grenade for me, brozo. Who took the blame when I broke Skeeter's bong and fucking Skeeter was all fucking pissed? You, bro. Who was the first to bro up and carry that fucking keg of Killian's up four flights of stairs for Duke's surprise party? You, bro. Who was the only Bromo sapien on the planet to tell me he thought the brand-new rims on my F-350 were the shit even though everyone else was all, like, fucking not that excited about them? Bro, you know it was you. You're my broheim supremo, bro, and don't you ever forget it.

I'm so fucking glad we're bros, bro!

I've long admired your absolute broficiency in all things bro-related, and the way you've always carried yourself in a brofessional manner. I consider you a brole model. When I was new in this town, you took me under your wing and showed me the bropes. And I will always preesh that. Not only did you school me in proper brotocol, but you were a spiritual leader, a confidant, and, more importantly, a bro. You taught me how to be true to my inner bro and to bros around me. You are a real bro. Not a fake bro, like those other douches. I hate fake bros, bro. Faux breaux. Fuck that. No, really, bro...you're practically a bro-ther to me.

Look at you, blasting in like Rambro and firing off your launcher like nobrody's business, bro. Serious Brotosaurus Rex action. Brodius Maximus. I'm not big on labels, but you, more than any of the wiggers, bitches, goth chicks, dorks, homos, or Mexicans I know, are absolutely beyond rebroach.

In fact, your brotitude is so brossential that, in many ways, you are the ultimate brototype: You sprung out of the brotean ooze at the very broment of creation, unformed, unmolded, and became the ultimate bro, more powerful than any who came brofore. I don't fear your power, bro, but I respect it. And I will always brobey it.

Brosemite Sam. Potassium Bromide. Brobi Wan Kenobi. Brover Norquist.

Like Broseph Stalin, you are leading the way to the dictatorship of the broletariate. It is truly revbrolutionary. Like the Bro v. Wade of our generation. You brobliterate the enemy from the very peak of Mt. Brolympus. That's some shit. That's brolific. But that's the kind of bro you are.

Bro-S.A.! Bro-S.A.! I'm so pumped right now! Bro-S.A.!

You are the epitome of bro, in every brossible way, and that's the Bro's honest truth, bro. I may have a bropensity for broverstatement, but this no mere hyperbrole: You are 100 brocent, absbrolutely the broest. Brotally.

I wish I had the words to describe what a good friend you are, dude.

by the way, for anyone still sorting out the VIP viewing options, Forecastle posted on their facebook:

The VIP area will have an elevated view of the main and second stages, however, there will be no main stage "pit" area. Other stages will have front stage viewing for VIP.

So if you did splurge for the VIP, it does make the supporting lineup a bit more important.....

[TEO]

I bought VIP, The Jacket will be there. I do not care if the only other band to be there will be Peter, Paul, and Mary because TEO KNOW IT WILL BE A GUARANTEED GOOD TIME NO MATTER WHAT!  ;) :) :D ;D :-*

I don't know if everyone has seen the official announcement, but there are a lot of really fascinating points from the Mayor, Ashley and JK, and of course, the boys.
However, the most amazing part that had me laughing my ass off was the Captain steering his wheel through the interview with a straight face, sitting next to VIPs. There was something very Beatles about it. Amazing!  ;D

[sweatboard]

hahahah....so great!

Louisville has a mayor that was a former concert promoter.  Ashley Capps is the fucking man!!!

[sweatboard]

I loved JK's introduction for MMJ, it's so beautiful to see someone make a dream come real.  I'm going to have to figure out a way to get there. 

[sweatboard]

I was just kinda listening to the interviews in the background while I was fooling around with other stuff.....then I brought back up the screen and the captain has really really bought into his character, Impressive.

[MamaKel]

You know what would be cool at Forecastle? If there was an artist at every show doing a live rendering and someone videos the progress and at the end, you have a time lapse of the entire festival from a variety of viewpoints, styles and mediums...people could even vote online and pick the top 3. Brings so much attention...

In addition, there could be art tents and musical instrument tents where people could just express themselves...and people could take their artworks with them to hand out to other festival goers as "Random Acts of Kindness"....

Just some wild thoughts pon my head as I I-ditate.

One Love
:)
