update

E-MAIL FROM MY DAD:

"May be a false alarm re poor quality of line up. You will note they announced something like 230 acts the other day. That made no sense because I think Jazz is 300. Just learned that there are another 130 acts to be announced. This is some kind of weird marketing ploy.

Neil Young will be announced. Maybe too Stevie Wonder and Nora Jones. GAGAGA is on the maybe list. Have to be a few blues acts because I only found one in the original list.

Hope to have more info this afternoon."

YEEEE dad. git on it.

in my first post re: summer vacation [which i cannot wait for... as much as i am loving norge!]
i requested a killer bluesfest line-up on my wishlist.

unfortunately, the summer sprite only delivered halfway.
i was told that mgmt would be playing
(GRRR DAD IF YOU'RE READING THIS NOW THAT YOU'VE FOUND MY BLOG...WHICH GILLIAN TOLD ME YOU HAD FOUND BEFORE EASTER!)
...and they are not.

the rest of the lineup is pretty good:

- the arcade fire
(i saw them live in our HS cafeteria and it was unreal... and i'm so stoked to see them again!)
- andrew bird
- basia bulat
- blonde redhead
- drake (yeeee degrassi!)
- great lake swimmers
- joan jett (kind of amazing)
- passion pit (!!!)
- rural alberta advantage
- the b52s (love shack, anyone?!)
- the cat empire
- the flaming lips
- the hold steady
- the swell season (SO STOKED. have you guys seen once? this will be beautiful.)
- weezer
- woodhands

...okay so it might seem like alot, but based on all the bands touring this summer (again, MGMT, vampire weekend, mumford&sons, the national, deadmau5, bss, nada surf, miike snow, wale, minus the bear, the lonely forest, laura marling, pavement, tegan and sara, kid cudi, dirty projectors, they might be giants, girls, the tallest man on earth, tune-yards, yacht, dinosaur feathers, band of horses, she and him, the new pornographers, the temper trap... AND SO MANY MORE!)

SEE WHAT I MEAN?!
come on ottawa, try to live up to the fact that you're the capital of the country.
