Yes! Vonnegut is absolutely brilliant. Those three books (and Sirens of Titan, also) are my favorites of his. I just found out that he put out a book of essays last year called A Man Without A Country. I was a little surprised I had not heard of it before now. I definitely need to pick it up (though, his essays aren't nearly as genius as the characters he creates in his fiction).Yes. I read Slaughterhouse Five over Winter Break and loved it, so I read Cat's Cradle and Breakfast of Champions this summer and they are brilliant. Vonnegut might be my favorite author.
they were mentioned (except, maybe Damien Rice), but can always bear repeating.Abruer17 said:Not sure if they were mentioned, but The Danielson Familie (and Danielson solo) is quite a trip. You also got Pedro the Lion, Half-Handed Cloud, The Castanets, and Damien Rice.
Just to name a small few.

Allentown Fair announces a ‘fair-fest’ of rock
Six hour show slated for August 31
For Release: Allentown, Pa. - Look out Bonnaroo and Coachella, two of the
largest alternative band music festivals to be staged in the United States!
This year’s Allentown Fair is having its own mini rock festival featuring
four bands in a six-hour show at the fair’s grandstand concert venue
Thursday, August 31.
Alternative rock pioneers The Flaming Lips, the underground duo from Bucks
County Ween, the punk band celebrating its 25th anniversary SonicYouth , and
the newcomer indie band from Great Britain The Magic Numbers will play from
5-11 p.m. Tickets for this concert go on sale to the public on Saturday,
June 24 along with all shows the fair has confirmed by this date.
The Flaming Lips latest release, “At War With the Mystics,” debuted to
critical acclaim at No. 11 on Billboard’s chart in March. The “Lips” have
been around since 1983 with flamboyant stage shows that include lead singer
Wayne Coyne riding around in a big gerbil ball and shooting confetti and fog
into the audience. Coyne and fellow band-mates Steven Drozd and Michael
Irvins are even joined on stage by a troupe of dancing Santa Clauses.
Ween’s roots date back to 1984 when Aaron Freeman and Mickey Melchiondo
became acquainted in their 8th grade typing class in New Hope, PA. They
started making music under the aliases of “Gene and Dean Ween,” and have
since produced 13 albums with songs that have been used in movies such as
the “The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood” and “Spongebob
Squarepants.”
The original four members of Sonic Youth formed in 1981 playing what they
have described as “experimental rock music.” Three of the four originals,
guitar and vocalists Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo are joined
by drummer Steve Shelley for a new release due out June 13 to celebrate the
band’s 25th anniversary.
To round out the fair’s eclectic festival, The Magic Numbers have been
described as a contemporary version of the ‘60s Mamas and the Papas and have
been gaining a large following in Great Britain.
Tickets for this show are $39 and include admission to the fair when
purchased in advance of the show date. There will be festival standing room
in front of the stage and reserved seats in the covered grandstand.
