Hillside 2011 Gameplan

Geeked out!

• Green is priority numero uno
• Yellow is a close second
• Red is my choice if I'm not distracted by swimming, or ice cream, or Hillside eats, or beer.

• Kidstreet are gonna kill it! 
• I think Harlan Pepper are properly following in the Arkells footsteps - fellow Hamiltonians. 
• And Midway State are new to me, and catchy catchy.

• OMMMG! Oh, Mother Mother Mangan Georgas! This workshop gives me goosepimples. Dan has collab-ed with everyone to great effect (Veda Hille, Shayne Koyczan, Hey Ocean - watch the amazing vid) 
• How do you choose between Mother Mother and Hooded Fang though?! MM come from further.. and I haven't seen them since the new album. Still tough with talk of Hooded Fang's new album being amazing and it's not even out yet.
• Sheepdogs personify the '70s.
• Hollerado should be a fun closing party too!

• Gobble Gobble's Boring Horror is in the fight for my song of the summer. Their live show is supposed to be spectacular too. But Modern Field Recordings are really unique and I never see them touring..
• RAA vs Braids vs Fred Penner is a tough tough choice. I really love Braids' album even if I didn't love their set last Hillside. Whereas I just saw RAA - but their first Hillside set was fantastic. (A mere 2 years ago?!) Sorry 5-old-Stefan, not seeing Fred.
• Common Grackle are super interesting, and local! Pumped, even if I have to skip Paper Lions for them (grumble grumble... why can't I set the schedule?)
• Shad always brings it in Guelph. Or anywhere.
