Armed with an amazing lineup that features bands from nearly every genre within rock and/or roll, Lollapalooza begins this morning at 11:15 am local time. If you aren’t in Chicago, you can still share in the fun throughout the weekend. The AT&T Blueroom will be webcasting many of the performances, and both XM and Sirius will be simulcasting a more complete version of the festivities.
We’re particularly excited for My Morning Jacket’s performance with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra, which will be filmed by the entire audience.

Damn, it may be blasphemous, but I really dig that Ronson remix of Go Your Way…lovin’ those horns. But, wait, did he change the lyrics from “I’m gonna let you pass” to “I’m gonna lick your ass”? Kinda sounded like it.
Yuck, that remix is crap. it kills his voice and the style of the song. The vocals sound overwhelmed and secondary.
Wish I was in Chicago.
No NYC date for Stevie??? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Xeyed, isn’t that what makes it a remix? He’s not trying to make it the same song. Obviously nothing’s gonna be as good as the original. He’s playing with it, and I kinda dig the end result. Oh well, I have no stake in it, so, um, whatever.
I understand the nature of a remix, some work and others don’t, i just can’t get into this one.
Maybe if someone else re-did the vocals, like Amy Winehouse and it became a cover I could get behind it, but as it is….No sir, i don’t like it.
