Best of the rest that I saw…

Bjork - “Earth Intruders” (fast forward to 1:30 in the clip)

Andrew Bird - “Plasticities”

Rufus Wainwright - “Pretty Things”

Silversun Pickups - “Lazy Eye” (I just like this clip b/c you can see the screen sometimes and it shows just how HUGE the crowd was)

Gotan Project - “Santa Maria”

LCD Soundsystem - “Daft Punk Is Playing In My House”

MSTRKRFT - “Easy Love”

The Fratellis - “Flathead”

Damien Rice - “Volcano” (a clip of the end when he uses loops and ROCKS OUT - yes, Damien can rock out… he’s amazing, but I wish Lisa Hannigan would have been there)

Lily Allen - “Everything’s Wonderful” (not the best set ever, but I’m posting this clip strictly for her explanation of that in the beginning… notice the cigarette in her hand)

Jose Gonzales - “Crosses”

Amos Lee - “Shout Out Loud”

Lupe Fiasco - “Kick, Push”

Comments on the other acts I saw:

Interpol - not a fan…
Arctic Monkeys - surprisingly growing on me. I like the new song!
Brazilian Girls - weird
Peaches - big time let down
Nickel Creek - really good but I couldn’t find a good video to post!
Amy Winehouse - SOOOOO crowded so I half heard 2 songs and then left. I couldn’t see/ hear her! Such a bum out…
Tiesto - pretty tight, even though I’m ashamed to admit that I had no idea who he was
Decemberists - SO good live, wish I could have watched more of their set
The Good, The Bad & The Queen - I still love “History Song” the best, but I wasn’t crazy into this (I’m not sure if the set was boring or if I was tired since it was the last show of the night)
Kings of Leon - I’m not sure why, but eh
Regina Spektor - way weirder than I thought she’d be
Hot Chip - sweet
Peter, Bjorn & John - except for a few highlights, pretty boring
Pharaohe Monch - really good
The Cribs - a nice little opener for Fratellis
Rage Against The Machine - still don’t like them, glad I left early
Paul Van Dyk - craziness
Manu Chao - saw a little bit, didn’t know who they were, sounded great!
Ratatat - drug dance party, I wasn’t into it
Klaxons - weird, guess I only like “Golden Skans”
Red Hot Chili Peppers - disappointing
Placebo - weird

Things I’m pissed that I missed (I’m a poet, I don’t know it):

Girl Talk
Cornelius
Justice
Tokyo Police Club
Noisettes
Blonde Redhead
Fields
The Frames
Explosions In The Sky
Spank Rock
Mika

Well, can’t do it all… I did see 39 bands in 3 days. And it has now lead to concert withdrawal. Can’t wait til next year :)
