Beale Street Music Festival
Memphis in May is almost around the corner. The one thing I cannot figure out is how this year's Beale Street Music Festival's band lineup could possibly be worse than the last year's... and the year before that... and they year before that... you get the picture. This festival, and Memphis in general, definitely do not cater to my Indie Rock tastes. The lineup this year consists of (for the most part) either pretentious and over done sell-outs that I would pay money NOT to see or unknown bands that most likely aspire to be like the previously mentioned group. There are very few exceptions like Gomez who I would actually like to go see, but for the price of one ticket ($20) and the wading through all the crap (bands and literally crap), there is no way that is going to happen. It's just not worth it. Sorry Gomez. :( Yet again Memphis has and will continue to fail us with non maintstream taste as a "great" music city. I can't wait to not go and hear how bad it sucked.. again.

Indie tastes? You show no awareness of the vast array of different music offered. I enjoyed every minute of it. Some of the legends who I'm sure you are too cool to enjoy will never be duplicated. Little Richard, Bo Diddley, James Brown, BB King. WHAT DON'T YOU GET? Will any Indie music be relevant in the future? It has the shelf life of fresh oysters. Give it a shot next year---you might learn something.
For those who don't know what indie is, I encourage you to look it up on wikipedia: indie music
I do enjoy BB King, Blues, Rock and Roll, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson, and the occasional Little Richard, but unfortunately this blog isn't for them AND Music Fest still sucked ass. I was offered a free ticket and refused it saying that I wouldn't go even if someone paid me. Glad I didn't waste my money or time.
