December 12, 201015 yr Night 1 doesn't have too much appeal to me, but Night 2 is undeniably sexy. So sexy that I can't watch the webcast because I'll actually be there. :D Note that there's an inconsistency with Florence's time slot, who is slated as 3rd in the show program but listed as 5th on the online schedule. We also have rumors of a surprise guest appearing on Night 2, not only given how past years have had special guests, but because Night 2's schedule isn't as long as Night 1's. I'll take some pics for y'all. :)

December 12, 201015 yr Author ^ That's cool that you're going. Night 1 is a little weak. I would recommend watching the sets of Jimmy Eat World and Social Distortion. Music and radio festivals aren't just a way to watch bands you know you like; it's a way to get a flavor for different types of music. I'd also recommend Smashing Pumpkins, but no one knows what you'll get out of Billy Corgan.

December 12, 201015 yr Author I guess you can also watch the webcast from your iPhone. Isn't technology awesome? I would be so happy if I could get more live webcasts. It's cool to watch music DVDs, but it's even better to have the feeling that you are watching it as it occurs in real time.
December 12, 201015 yr Just did the time conversion and it's midday tomorrow for me, yay! Though I won't get to see all of it due to work tomorrow :( Damn I really wanted to see Phoenix! :bomb:
December 12, 201015 yr Author It's 6:00 Pacific, and the webcast is now live. This appears to be the best view: http://www.ustream.tv/kroq
December 12, 201015 yr Author Bad Religion is pretty legit. Jimmy Eat World is up next. They are one of my favorite bands :thumbsup:
December 12, 201015 yr I tried to tune in but my internet isn't going to allow me to watch it :disappointed: Glad you seem to be enjoying it though! :awesome:
December 12, 201015 yr Author ^ Yeah, I've enjoyed it a lot. Social Distortion are one of the best live bands out there and have been for years. They are a combination of Johnny Cash, Rolling Stones and the Clash. You just don't see punk/hard rock mixed with rockabilly. Mike Ness sounds like he's eaten a bucket of nails with his gravely voice. It fits their music so perfectly. They are legends. Still waiting on Smashing Pumpkins.
December 12, 201015 yr Author I thought Smashing Pumpkins were really good tonight. Billy went down the list, playing a lot of the classics.
December 12, 201015 yr They're past their prime, but the Smashing Pumpkins have enough classics to last them until the end of their careers. :) Gonna leave in a couple hours to meet up with a few friends and hang out before the show. They sell merch from every band there, so I'm hoping the wad of cash I withdrew yesterday will be enough. Gonna be fun!
December 12, 201015 yr Author ^ yeah, no doubt about Smashing Pumpkins. I was afraid Billy would do a bunch of rarities and be a downer the entire night. The Fellowship Today Drown Freak Bullet With Butterfly Wings Tarantula Landslide (Fleetwood Mac cover) Tonight, Tonight Stand Inside Your Love Eye Heavy Metal Machine I mean, 7 of the 10 songs are on their Greatest Hits album, Rotten Apples (which everyone should own because it's an awesome collection of songs). I don't think you could really hope for more in a radio festival environment. Have fun tonight. I'll be watching on the webcast again. Last night came in crystal clear.

You've probably left by now, but have fun!! :dance: I'll try to tune in again but I doubt it will work.
December 13, 201015 yr Author Temper Trap was darn good. I didn't see the entire set, but what I did see was great. Edit: There is supposed to be a special guest tonight. I'm thinking maybe the remaining Killers will join Brandon. Who knows???
December 13, 201015 yr ^ahhh I love the Temper Trap, they're so fantastic live! So the show's going well tonight? Once again my internet isn't letting me watch :rolleyes:
