Holy greatness, BFD 2008 line-up announced!

I don't know about you, but I know I am a little burned out, tired, and annoyed hearing about this festival and that festival and so-and-so confirmed to play. I'm pretty festival-ed out (let's stop copying the Brits, shall we?), but I have enough energy to be excited about BFD 2008. In terms of stuff for SF, Noise Pop I love for the pure insanity of bouncing around the whole city; Not So Silent Night I love because it comes in time right around finals for me to blow off some steam dancing; newcomer Treasure Island Music Festival I love because the weather is super nice in the city around that time; and I'm sure I'm going to love Outside Lands in August because, hello, score.

I heart BFD because it comes right when school ends in June, and I can take a day to drink a lot of beer and terrorize the IMEEM photobooth with my friendies. But I think the reason I love BFD so much is that it reminds me a lot of Coachella in trying to make the different stages in time to see the bands I want to (much like TIMF and I think Outside Lands is gonna do), and that I usually play basketball in the backstage area while drunk and stalk indie rock boyfriends. It's a good time.

Thus, BFD 2008 was announced today, and while Charlie mentioned it might be a little 90s heavy, MSTRKRFT and MGMT live?? Holy shit. We should make a whole festival of bands whose names are acronyms...

Canavan 2008!
