No, you're thinking of the Burning Man festival.

I'm so sorry. I'm a bad person.

This is very true. They're a really great band to watch (a bit like Man Man although easier to really watch b/c the audience at Man Man shows is always insane) with an amazing amount of stage presence and tons of energy. They do a lot of really cool stuff, playing on all sorts of things, switching instruments mid-song and generally cavorting about in a way that is immensely entertaining. Personally I think they're wonderful live and not to be missed despite the mildly annoying nature of the crowds they tend to attract.

Are you even Australian?

Yes, but since I was addressing a forumite from North America somewhere I chose to use imperial measure. Far be it from me to rpedict Melbourne's weather, but I don't doubt theres a strong possibility of the temperatures reaching the mid 30's quite easily.

Really? You've heard of Billy Bragg, but not Wilco? You've heard of Grinspoon, but not The Wrens?
I'm not even going to touch the notion that LCD Soundsystem are "certainly" not good, mostly on the basis that they released "All My Friends" and almost any other band you can care to name has not.

See I'd cite that as a reason why they aren't as good as 'any band I'd care to mention', and another reason why my musical knowledge dominates yours. But since I have no problem with you, I'll leave you to it.
