With perfect time, Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin begins the weekend after the election. This Genius list is in honor of that. Leave yours—-or your random ten—-in comments.
Original song: “Crystal Cat”—-Dan Deacon
1) “Ghost Hardware”—-Burial
2) “Future”—-Cut Copy
3) “Hallelujah”—-The Happy Mondays
4) “Destroy Everything You Touch”—-Ladytron
5) “I Get Around”—-Dragonette
6) “TKO”—-Le Tigre
7) “Television Rules The Nation”—-Daft Punk
8) “Galang”—-M.I.A.
9) “Romeo”—-Basement Jaxx (this is one of my top 5 favorite dance songs, ever)
10) “New York, I Love You, But You’re Bringing Me Down”—-LCD Soundsystem
Instead of playing videos from the Genius list, I thought I’d play some stuff from bands that the Norbizness and I are going to check out.
Bad Brains:
Dead Milkmen:
Deerhoof:
Dr. Octagon:
Brownout!:
The Octopus Project:
You can check out the lineup here. Because they have a system where there are double stages—-as soon as one band goes off one half, the other one goes on the other—-it’s both awesome (no waiting) and overwhelming (you really do have to make hard choices).

Ah, the Dead Milkmen, Sparky Anderson’s favorite punk band . . .
