The Stranger Dance


Your Outside Lands Survival Kit


It’s finally here. Though the months of anticipation, Outside Lands-related posts and Radiohead worship have been fun here at the Stranger Dance, it’ll be nice to get this bitch done with, so we can have some fun. So, in the spirit of community, good citizenship and milking this high-traffic cow one last time, we present the Stranger Dance Outside Lands Survival Kit. This will (hopefully) be everything you need to survive the day, minus the tickets, money, booze and drugs … if you’re into that type of thing.

Join us, won’t you, after the jump.

Outside Lands Festival - An MP3 Guide (Friday)

Outside Lands Festival MP3s

With the Outside Lands Festival coming up this weekend, we thought it’d be awful helpful to pull together playlists for each day of the festival so you can sample to a bit of each artist before you go. I’ve tried to find representative and/or live songs for each artist to give a good idea of what you’re in store for.

With our fancy new media player, you can even hit the little play button next to any song and listen to it as a mix even without downloading anything.

Here is the first of three days. We’ll post a new playlist each day. Enjoy:

Friday:

Radiohead - “Nude” [Live] (Bank of Boston Pavillion, 6/4/06)
Beck - “Chemtrails”
Manu Chao - “Clandestino” [Live] (In-studio performance at KCRW)
The Black Keys - “Psychotic Girl”
Cold War Kids - “Red Wine, Success!”
Steel Pulse - “Soldiers”
Lyrics Born - “I Changed My Mind”
Black Mountain - “Wucan”
Howlin Rain - “Dancers at the End of Time”
The Felice Brothers - “Frankie’s Gun!”
Carney - “Testify”
The Benevento/Russo Duo - “Play Pause Stop”

Outside Lands Festival Radiohead Tom Petty Jack Johnson Lineup

While the folks at APE Concerts haven’t announced the schedule for the Outside Lands Festival [Update: full schedule now available here], most of the bands involved have which night they’re playing on their respective sites. So we did a little investigative journalism to cobble together a schedule.

According to their site, Radiohead is scheduled to headline the opening night of the three-day festival. Tom Petty’s site notes that they will play Saturday night, leaving MoR Jack Johnson to close out the festival on Sunday night
