Well, dear hearts, let’s just jump right into it. The Treasure Island Music Festival is this weekend, which means back-to-back 10-hour days of well-selected music, lots of quality lying-on-a-blanket time, and the best view of San Francisco there is.
Today’s reason for loving the TIMF: there are two stages and nobody plays simultaneously, so you don’t have to make one of those painful festival choices (Gillian Welch … or Gwar?).
This week, I’ll be talking about the folks I’m most looking forward to seeing, in no particular order of which day they’re on, or how much I like them, except for that TODAY’S VEGETABLE IS ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE SONGS OF THE YEAR.
I’ve already gushed once or twice about Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros (playing Sunday at 2:30), so I’ll just encourage you here to give them a listen and take my word that they’re warm and joyous live. If I had one moment from this upcoming weekend to pre-live, it would be jumping around, singing along to “Home.”
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home from Up From Below (recently released as a 2xLP!)
My Central Coast nizzles will hell of want to catch them at the Historic Brookdale Lodge this Friday the 16th. They’re also playing a Treasure Island night show with Dan Deacon at Mezzanine on Saturday night ($10!).
