Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT

It figures that the dudes who call their musical duo Groove Armada would name the festival they started the Lovebox Weekender . But who cares what they call it when they get folks like the Flaming Lips, Manu Chao, the Go! Team, Goldfrapp, and (oh man) the Human League to play the thing?

Nathan Moomaw (The World Forgot)

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:39:20 GMT

It’s hard to choose only two songs to showcase Nathan Moomaw’s latest album, 26 ( itunes ), due to the eclectic folk nature of the album.

The 80/35 Music Festival is what it's called, and they managed to get The Flaming Lips, The Roots, Drive-By Truckers, and a bunch more seriously solid artists to play on the bill in their first year.
