And another thing...

I was originally going to resist posting about the Virgin Festival that I attended this weekend, but due to some other pieces I've read since the Saturday shows I feel like I need to do just a quick roundup of stats and looming questions...

1) The Scissor Sisters are the best band ever. Music for Robots agrees (http://music.for-robots.com), even if Pitchfork only gave them a 7.3 for Ta-Dah. Plus Jake Shears thinks that the "powers that be in the U.S." are conspiring against him, according to an interview in Billboard (via NME.com). And that might be one conspiracy theory I'm on board with...

2) The Killers were sporting way too much facial hair, and the drummer really looked like Jason Lee from My Name Is Earl (some random person even commented on my flickr page about it - what?!?!)

3) The Raconteurs are apparently a somewhat devisive band... I loved them.

4) Richard Branson himself was there. I wonder what he thought of The Clap...?
