If the lineup of last weekend’s Intonation Music Festival left you feeling cold and confused (Who the hell would pay to hear some guy named “Diplo” spin bad vinyl for 48 hours?), Lollapalooza 2005 might just be your saving grace.
Unlike “pretentious” Intonation, Lolla’s lineup reads like a “Who’s Who” of Billboard’s ubiquitous Top Ten list — The Pixies, Weezer, The Killers, Cake, Spoon, Widespread Panic, Death Cab for Cutie — plus 50-odd other bands you’ve likely heard of.
