'Safe'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I've heard the Beefheart one isn't as good, David.
Have you seen the VU one?
The Amoeba reviewers like the Kate Bush one, so I expect it's got a fair amount of interesting bits that are floating out among collectors but would probably not get an official release.
I would like to see some stuff I haven't seen before. All recs welcome.
Sonic Youth if you haven't before and it doesn't conflict.
Oh and the Hold Steady for sure.
Death Cab for Cutie!!! So forlorn and and medodic.

Why wait? I might just do this tonight....
Maneshevitz (day 3, 1pm, at AMD). The singer sounds like Tom Verlaine but is short and stocky, and the band are more rockin' like the Hold Steady.
I actually have seen them! They opened for the Mountain Goats in Lawrence once. I shall pencil them in - they are worth seeing again.
Sonic Youth if you haven't before and it doesn't conflict.
Sonic Youth I have seen. I was debating between them and Blackalicious. Hmmmmm....And the Hold Steady are a definite.
Death Cab I like more than Ween - but Ween seems like a better live act for reasons I can't quite express. Never seen either.
I am stressing over Kanye or Manu Chao? Oh lord, will my diamond shoes ever fit right?
So forlorn and and medodic.
I like them but thought they were kind of boring live. I only saw them in a big arena type place with suck ass sound though. Not really the right venue for their style of music I think.
but Ween seems like a better live act for reasons I can't quite express.
They are supposed to be very good live. Dean's quite the guitar wizard.
Ween it is then! Though I agree, Robin, Death Cab are the forlorniest.
Have you seen the VU one?
I have not. But I've heard good things about it from the same people who were less thrilled with the Beefheart. For what that's worth...
I would like to see some stuff I haven't seen before. All recs welcome.
Is the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow performing at any point during the weekend? It's not music, but I highly recommend seeing Jim Rose, if he's there.
ETA: Doesn't look like he's there. I saw the JRCS for the first time at the second Lollapallooza, that had Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Ministry, and the Chili Peppers.
I just introduced my intern to GHP. He is so happy in his mash-up filled head right now.
