I really hope this turns out as good as it sounds.

Hopefully Pixies, Beck, and Gang of Four are at Keyspan. Trash like Oasis, The Killers, and Jet belong on Staten Island.

trash-talk like the previous post doesn't even deserve acknowledgement...get a clue, seriously.

I could say the same to you buddy, those bands are terrible. I also love when people point out how something doesn't deserve acknowledgement by acknowledging it.

I, for one, hereby acknowledge and encourage trash talk about Oasis, Jet and The Killers. Those trend-surfing tools are churning out the car commercial soundtracks of tomorrow.

I think you mean I-Pod commercials

I-Pods today, Arby's tomorrow.

I was addressing your comment on Staten Island more than the bands...once again, clueless. As for the bands, Pixies and GO4 are the only note-worthy bands.

I whole-heartedly support the 2nd comment. Put the trash where it belongs.

Once again indeed, Jorge, I could be calling you clueless. And vague. If you meant Staten Island then you should have said Staten Island. I do believe my membership card to the Local 25 Mind Readers Union has expired. And are you denying that there is trash on Staten Island?

And I also agree with Jorge's last comment.

Jorge and Neuman: No love for Beck?

No vagueness on my part, your original comment was clueless whichever way it was meant to be interpreted, but moreso, on the S.I. dig (take a look outside, there's trash everywhere.)

Oh, and I'll end this here, music appreciation or lack thereof is a matter of subjectivity, so your dis' on those bands is inane and useless.

Beck's alright, I've seen him a couple of times...just haven't been feeling his last couple of releases.

theres a reason the staten island ferry is free. noone would pay to go there. im with the 2nd comment.

Being an elitist snob is extremely tacky, at. Shouldn't we be psyched that we have the opportunity to see some good music (whether you like all the bands on the bill or not) instead of looking down on a place that is obvioulsy welcoming music lovers?

Gary, wow, you astound me with your idiocy...I thought I was done with this comments section but the utter lack of intelligence in your post requires retort...first and foremost, have you ever set foot on S.I. besides hopping on the "free" (where do you think your city taxes go or are you one of the unemployed) ferry service back and forth? Secondly, I know many, many people that would gladly pay to go to S.I.

i grew up there

Assuming you're departing from Manhattan, the trip to Staten Island will be a lot quicker and more fun (booze!) than taking a slow ass train through Brooklyn. With that said, I still hope the Pixies and Beck play in Brooklyn.

well then, your opinion is valid, not like most people who rag on it and have never been there... I happen to like S.I. and am glad to hear that there is a possibility of this type of concert taking place there.

Jorge: you're an ass. obviously I do have a clue if I have even heard of those bands and come to a conclusion that they are terrible. And last I checked there was a lot of trash on Staten Island.

"so your dis' on those bands is inane and useless" - no, you attempting to negate my OPINION is inane and useless.

Your hipocracy runs deep. Take a look in the mirror, loser.

i love lamp

whoever you are, I won't stoop to your level and start name calling (ie, 'ass', 'loser')...

my point was made, no need to continue, keep living in your 'hip-ocracy'... try picking up a dictionary sometime.

gary, liked the 'anchorman' reference...

"LOUD NOISES!!!!!"

-Brick-

If I spelled it right, then would you realize that you are being it?

"I won't stoop to your level" - more hYpocrIsy, I do believe it was YOU who called ME clueless...

and I'm not calling you an ass, I'm labeling you one. Ass.

"If I spelled it right, then would you realize that you are being it?"

that was REALLY weak. maybe you should stop "internet fighting" Mr. I Leave My Name Blank, cause you're not very good at it.

um, no.

I 'labeled' your comment clueless and not you, per se, although I'm starting to think that the shoe might fit.

-Ass-

I smell another Ozzfest thread...

so basically the trash talk isn't over oasis, the killers and jet, right? it's over staten island?

What's with all the fighting??

You guys do realize that Belle and Sebastian are gonna be playing New York!!!!!!!!!!

I a big fan of their records, but B&S are without question one of the worst live bands I have every seen!!! Sorry folks, but its true.

Hey cc, I made that comment as a last ditch effort for "ASS" to realize the error of his ways, knowing full well that it was probably hopeless.

and if I attached some arbitrary name, like Steve or Pete, would that make my comments any more or less valid? please... that, my friend, is weak.

Be warned - B&S are without question one of the worst live bands i have ever seem.

Oasis are the best rock band at that festival.

this was good natured fun until that last comment about oasis being the best rock band. i think we can all agree(jorge and at included) those words are crossing the line. i have a feeling liams hitting the boards under the guise of brandon. please, no one call me any names. my ego is already in ICU.

I can't find information on this thing anywhere.

From Pitchfork:

"No word yet on pricing, or whether the admission fees will include earplugs for Jet's performance. Or noseplugs for the stench of Staten Island."

HAHAHAHA take that Jorge!

yeah, I saw that this morning and laughed my ass off...f the fork too!

apparently acording to the staten island advance, the bands will play both venues in alternating days? bloody strange

It'll be like Reading and Leeds. Coney's Saturday lineup will be Staten's Sunday, and VV. Thing is tho...Beck's opening for the Stones one of those days. So he's either out or not doing both like the rest.

Sounds great to me. This way I don't have to step foot on that garbage heap and at the same time, don't miss any of the bands, well except for the ones that are only playing one day at Staten Island.

lake trout is scheduled, according to their website, to do one of the s. island days. if anyone cares.

hey, i was checking for info,on the pond shows. and i noticed the bad reviews on the staten island dump. its to bad they built the italian gang plank (verrazano-narrows bridge) the garbage would still be in brooklyn. have fun ! ps the show will be good wherever you come from!
