On Friday, James Murphy dedicated “Losing My Edge” to Gil Scott-Heron. For the rest of the weekend, everyone should be covering “Communication Breakdown” and dedicating it to AT&T. Not being able to meet up with your friends because of long delayed texts does cultivate a certain independent spirit, though, and partying with strangers wasn’t a tough get if you chose your sets wisely. Saturday’s headliners (for purposes of this post) were the smartest calls of all: There was Major Lazer, who I figured couldn’t top their raucous showing at SXSW’s Cedar St. Courtyard. The presence of Switch (absent in Austin), Chinese dragons, and major lasers upturned that thought. It was all about charisma, and that’s what Skerrit Bwoy trades in. That, daggering techniques, and batshit insanity. If Mr. Bwoy sold an instructional DVD on those points, I’d buy — guy’s a true triple threat. Flying Lotus demonstrated remarkable presence for one man trading in Macbooks and glitchy bass-beat pastiche; Die Antwoord, for a bunch of barely dressed South Africans. Truly the curiosity/buzz factor rode most heavily with the zef rappers, who have parlayed their meme status to a deal with Interscope and meetings with David Lynch in the time it takes to post a video to YouTube. Here to stay or having a quick run on their 15MB of fame?

The lineup for Lollapalooza 2010 appears to be leaking like a sieve. Citing “multiple industry sources,” the Daily Swarm claims that Lolla headliners include Lady Gaga, Green Day and a reunited Soundgarden. The Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot is reporting that Lolla organizers are also in negotiations with Arcade Fire and The Strokes as possible headliners. Kot also mentioned a number of other bands confirmed for Lolla 2010, including: Cut Copy, Dirty Projectors, Hot Chip, Yeasayer, and The xx.
The full lineup announcement isn’t supposed to be due until some time in April, but it looks like Perry Ferrell and C3 Presents may have a tough time keeping it under wraps. All the more fun for all of us though, right?
Lollapalooza 2010 is slated for August 6-8 in Chicago’s Grant Park. Check out Lollapalooza.com for more info.

You can currently download “Made In The Dark” featuring Wyatt if you hand over some information at Hot Chip. There’ll be a second free MP3, “We’re Looking For A Log Of Love,” going up 12/19.
