Last week was every indie lover’s dream. From veteran favorite’s Interpol and The National showing poise with age, to (relative) Peter, Bjorn, and John and Best Coast blowing up their spot, it was a hell of a week.
This week’s lineup is a little stranger, though good all the same. Indie lovers will be pleased once again with performances by The Black Keys, …And You Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, and Gang of Four. But that’s no excuse to stop watching. Elton John (with Leon Russell), Ray Lamontagne, Far East Movement, Nicki Minaj, and a special performance by Travis Barker featuring Game and Swizz Beats will help to round out this week’s lineup. And the cherry on top? Back from the dead: the one and only “Rob the jewelry store, tell ’em make me a grill” Nelly, James “You’re Beautiful” Blunt, and Ricky “Livin’ La Vida Loca” Martin.
