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.

Maybe it’s the death of Isaac Hayes (not to mention Bernie Mac, wtf?!), or maybe it’s the fog that keeps destroying San Francisco’s summer nights, but I’m feeling a little down and out. So I apologize if these picks aren’t as upbeat as normal. At least Outside Lands is almost here…
MP3s:
Isaac Hayes - “Walk on By”
Beck - “He’s a Mighty Good Leader”
Rogue Wave - “Eyes”
Sea Wolf - “You’re a Wolf”
Kings of Convenience - “Know How” [f. Feist]

The lineup for Lollapolooza has been confirmed, and it looks like Perry Ferrel & Co. have thrown down the gauntlet, basically taking the Outside Lands Festival lineup, trimming some of the MoR-friendly fat, and mixing in more talent.
Word that Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, The Raconteurs, Wilco and Kanye West would headline the six-day festival in Chicago’s Grant Park came a few days ago. The full lineup was announced today after being leaked by Jim DeRogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times (who Ferrell has since dubbed “Pepe le Pew”).
