well, if this album drops on may, it would be right to say that the month would be the indie music equivalent of july for blockbuster movies.
Agreed – too much to keep track of
ok, Arcade Fire, just do this a month earlier and at Bonnoroo, and I’ll be excited.
Step aside for the kings…
Please play Lolla!
