Austin City Limits Preview

Vanessa 2:15

We got more exciting stuff . Well , not more exciting than that , but we've continue . We just had outside lands , then this rave Just kidding Wedding , and then we have another music festival coming up . Gosh , don't tell my mother , she'll get so mad .

Sunny 2:32

We have Austin City Limits coming up . If you have been listening to this podcast , you know we've been talking about this for what a year now .

Vanessa 2:40

Oh , that we're going to go . Yeah , I feel like all the other ones we've talked about this year . We've been to at least once , but this is the new one for us that we've never been to .

Sunny 2:48

Yeah ,

Vanessa 2:48

what we're going to talk about is the schedule and the people that are on here that we want to see . But I was going through this and I was like I don't even know the layout of this place ,

Sunny 2:58

right

Vanessa 2:58

like I'm over here being like maybe we can see 15 minutes of this person then run over to this person , it's like what if they're like a mile apart ?

Vanessa 3:05

like

Sunny 3:06

can't tell you how many times I was like I don't know the geography

Vanessa 3:10

we need to know the geography and we were looking at like aerial shots of austin city limits and we're like I can't tell . Like this looks like it's all just one big park . But I was like ,

Sunny 3:21

yeah ,

Vanessa 3:22

this could also be like miles and miles apart like I don't know .

Sunny 3:26

You need to find the um , what's it called ? The scale .

Vanessa 3:29

Yeah ,

Sunny 3:31

I'm excited to do this , because we've actually never done this

Vanessa 3:35

no

Sunny 3:35

before like sit down and actually talk about it ,

Sunny 3:38

so

Vanessa 3:38

this is going to be interesting to no one but us okay ,

Sunny 3:41

we're gonna yeah , we're gonna really try not to be rambly .

Sunny 3:45

So you and I , we prepare for festivals differently . You , as soon as the playlist comes out like the official playlist for the festival , you just have that on repeat .

Vanessa 3:55

Yeah ,

Sunny 3:55

Listening to it

Vanessa 3:56

Lately . That's how I've been doing it .

Sunny 3:57

Clark and I will wait till the set times come out , and then we do our research .

Vanessa 4:02

That makes sense . You don't want to create conflicts for yourself before they , even before the scheduling comes out . Huh .

Sunny 4:08

Yeah , so we go line by line and then we look up live videos , because sometimes someone's recorded music can be different than their live performance . You know ,

Vanessa 4:17

yeah ,

Sunny 4:18

within the first minute we know if we like it or not and we turn it off .

Vanessa 4:22

But do you like scroll to the middle or something ?

Sunny 4:25

Sometimes , yeah ,

Vanessa 4:25

okay , I was like sometimes the first minute is like either too slow or

Sunny 4:30

Right , yeah ,

Vanessa 4:30

or they go out with a bang and then the rest of it's different .

Sunny 4:32

Yeah , we usually do that too . We scroll to the middle . This time I got a little crazy with the color coding .

Friday's Must-See Acts

Sunny 4:45

I have some that are in pink , which are like the must-sees , like no , nothing's gonna get in the way .

Vanessa 4:48

God , I wish I had color coded .

Sunny 4:49

And then I have yellow , which is I liked it , and green , which is like I really liked it .

Vanessa 4:51

Okay ,

Sunny 4:51

but any yellows or greens I can still be talked out of ,

Vanessa 4:55

okay ,

Sunny 4:55

does that make sense ?

Vanessa 4:56

yeah , I just circled them all in black . Yeah , but there's a lot where I'm like I mean , I know which ones are like the must sees

Sunny 5:05

Right .

Vanessa 5:06

Do you want to start with Friday ?

Sunny 5:07

Yeah .

Vanessa 5:08

Also , how early did you start ? Because the music starts at 1245 and it goes till 10 .

Sunny 5:14

We went through each line .

Vanessa 5:16

You did , oh , we did not Friday .

Vanessa 5:18

We kind of did Saturday and Sunday . We're like let's leave the morning up to sunny and clark , because we know none of these names . And I mean for the whole festival there's a lot of names we don't know . But ed was like do we have to go in at 12 every day ? I'm like I mean we don't have to but , you know sunny and clark , so let's just leave it up to them

Sunny 5:37

your future is in our hands

Vanessa 5:39

just my first , first part of the day

Sunny 5:41

friday's I have no must sees , really

Vanessa 5:44

Really

Sunny 5:45

None , nothing in pink . The green ones , which are artists that I really like , were Johnny Stimson , Girl Tones and Maggie Antone . I hope I'm saying that right .

Vanessa 5:55

Oh , Ed really wants to see Maggie Antone .

Sunny 5:57

Perfect , then let's extra circle .

Vanessa 5:59

But one of my must sees is Jensen McRae , who's at the same time as Maggie .

Sunny 6:09

Ohh,

Vanessa 6:09

but she ends like 15 minutes after , so hopefully , if they're close . They're close , we can catch the last 15 minutes . I don't know , I guess . I guess she's not a must see , but just on the playlist she's one that really stood out to me and I really liked one of her songs . But I I can see her some other time . I think she's a newer artist

Sunny 6:25

up and coming .

Sunny 6:26

Yeah , this is the benefit of the way you do it , because you're listening to the artists over and over again . You remember them .

Vanessa 6:31

Yeah ,

Sunny 6:32

when Clark and I do this , I circle what I like and then I forget and I just trust my past self when I get to the festival that I'm gonna go to , where I want to go ,

Vanessa 6:42

yeah , you don't have any must-sees .

Vanessa 6:45

You don't want to see Cage the Elephant ? I thought that would be like a must-see for you .

Sunny 6:47

I've seen Cage the Elephant

Vanessa 6:48

oh okay . I really want to see Dylan Gossett and Luke Combs . I feel like those two are like my must-sees this day .

Sunny 6:54

I think the big debate about this day is Hosier versus Luke

Vanessa 7:00

thought ed like really wanted to see Hozier , just because we've already seen luke combs twice this year at festivals . But he was like , yeah , well , I like luke combs better than hozier , so let's just see luke combs I was like okay great . I mean I , I love him too . So I'm down to see him again and I really wanted to see him with you guys

Sunny 7:17

oh , problem solved .

Sunny 7:18

Actually , you know , what is funny about friday is we're trusting you guys for the end of the day , and then you're trusting us for the beginning .

Vanessa 7:25

Well , kind of we also kind of really want to see Crowe boys .

Sunny 7:28

Okay ,

Vanessa 7:28

that's at like two ,

Sunny 7:30

okay

Vanessa 7:30

. And then King Princess and Role Model . We really like , we like , but we don't . I mean we don't need to see them . But

Sunny 7:37

yeah ,

Vanessa 7:37

these are the ones that I circled . And then Sam Barber I really want to see , and then Empire of the Sun .

Vanessa 7:44

It was like empire sun versus cage the elephant

Sunny 7:46

I have confidence man , at that time

Vanessa 7:50

I don't even think we listened to confidence man , because there was already so many people circled around that time frame that we're like let's not add anything to the

Sunny 7:57

yeah ,

Vanessa 7:57

but maybe we should have , maybe they we would have liked them better than the other ones

Sunny 8:00

no , we did that too .

Sunny 8:01

Sometimes we're like , okay , there's no point in looking at anything else right line .

Sunny 8:04

Right because we have it figured out .

Sunny 8:06

Yeah , I think we should try and catch johnny stimson who's at 115 . I know that's early , but he's a solo act singer , songwriter . Like really pretty falsetto but like soulful pop , r&b so right up , right up our alley . Um , but he's also signed by elton john's rocket records .

Sunny 8:25

I thought that's pretty cool

Vanessa 8:26

yeah ,

Sunny 8:26

so yeah , I want to check

Vanessa 8:27

what is girl tones . Is that edm ?

Sunny 8:29

girl . No , they're so opposite . They're sisters from south central kentucky .

Vanessa 8:34

Oh ,

Sunny 8:34

they're a high energy rock duo , not necessarily the music I gravitate towards , but when I watched a little bit that I did I was like , yeah , girl power so

Vanessa 8:43

they're at the same time as crowe boys .

Vanessa 8:45

So I'll listen to them and see how I feel .

Sunny 8:47

I'll go wherever .

Vanessa 8:48

You'd split the time too .

Vanessa 8:50

unless it is a big deal , and the distance is really far ,

Sunny 8:54

yeah we'll see . We'll see . All right , should we move on to Saturday ?

Saturday Schedule Breakdown

Vanessa 9:00

yeah , okay , so the first thing I have circled starts at 3 pm , so before that , it's all you who do you got ?

Sunny 9:07

I have in yellow which are the people I liked Eric Slick at 12.15 , ted Hammig and the campaign at 1 o'clock . South Arcade at 1.30 . Damn , there's so many on here . I'm sorry . But again these are just people like I liked it .

Vanessa 9:24

You don't need to see it .

Sunny 9:24

I don't need to see it . No ,

Vanessa 9:26

okay , I'm going to circle those with a different color .

Sunny 9:29

Okay ,

Vanessa 9:29

so that I can go back and listen to them .

Sunny 9:31

Oh , that's a good idea . Okay , and then Dizzy Faye , who is at 315 .

Vanessa 9:35

You said South Arcade , right ,

Sunny 9:37

I did yes .

Vanessa 9:47

Did you do that for me ?

Sunny 9:47

Do what ?

Vanessa 9:47

Or you liked them ?

Sunny 9:47

I must have liked it .

Vanessa 9:48

Okay , they're like the beastie boys , the ones that sound like the beastie boys .

Sunny 9:49

Oh , that's right . Okay , yeah , I . I uh told clark that ed had said that when we watched it , but when we put on the video we're like hell yeah yeah , it just seems so fun

Vanessa 9:57

right , it looks so fun .

Sunny 9:58

And then fuji kaze I also have in yellow , who I saw at outside lands .

Vanessa 10:03

Okay ,

Sunny 10:04

in green , wait your turn . What do you have circled at three

Vanessa 10:08

Don West

Sunny 10:09

Okay , I also have that in green .

Vanessa 10:11

Yeah , I was like this is going to be one of Sunny's must-sees . I know it . But you have them in green , which means you really like them .

Sunny 10:17

I do really like it , but a must-see for us is Leisure , which is 215 to 315 .

Vanessa 10:27

Okay , we did not circle leisure . I remember ed being like I like this and I was like I don't know if I do , but I didn't even circle it .

Sunny 10:30

Well , clark has been into them for a really long time . They're like an indie pop , funk ,

Vanessa 10:34

okay

Sunny 10:35

synth group and actually they have a new album coming out september 12th . We should check out the new album before we go over there .

Vanessa 10:42

Well , I mean , we can see a whole bunch of them and then go to Don West

Sunny 10:45

depending on the geography .

Vanessa 10:47

Yeah , it's a nothing commute we were just watching um euro trip and the he said that in it and we were like for some reason cracking up

Sunny 10:58

it's funny .

Sunny 10:58

Do you have any other must sees ?

Vanessa 11:00

Spacey Jane , Marina , and then we have Latin Mafia and South Hall , but they're both at the exact same time . And then we have Doechii .

Sunny 11:11

Yes ,

Vanessa 11:12

we actually really . Is it D-Joe Joe ?

Sunny 11:16

I don't know , d-j-o .

Vanessa 11:18

It's spelled D-J-O .

Sunny 11:19

On the way to Coachella , one of the billboards was , like it's pronounced , d-j-o ,

Vanessa 11:25

like just spelled out

Sunny 11:26

yeah , doesn't help anybody .

Vanessa 11:28

Yeah , oh , that's funny , um .

Vanessa 11:31

And then Sabrina Carpenter for me is a must see . I know that in the past we've chosen to go to the legendary acts because it's like , okay , when are you ever going to see them ? I'm assuming The Strokes are a legendary act

Sunny 11:42

they are ,

Vanessa 11:42

be completely honest and say I don't know who they are , I don't really care to see them . So I'm gonna go see Sabrina Carpenter .

Vanessa 11:49

I'm sorry

Sunny 11:51

that is fine with us we saw the strokes at outside lands

Vanessa 11:55

that's what I thought I was like . I think I've already seen them . Anyways ,

Sunny 11:57

they were

Vanessa 11:58

you said they were assholes .

Sunny 11:59

Assholes ,

Vanessa 12:00

yeah ,

Sunny 12:00

they're kind of known for that a little bit

Vanessa 12:02

okay

Sunny 12:02

the performance . The music sounded perfect

Vanessa 12:05

yeah

Sunny 12:06

I just couldn't get with the , with the vibe

Vanessa 12:08

yeah

Sunny 12:08

of the lead singer . I had Sabrina Carpenter in green but , she put out a new album and I love it ,

Vanessa 12:14

so now you're gonna change it to pink .

Sunny 12:16

Changed it to pink it is in pink dang . This is wild how we have

Vanessa 12:21

all doji

Sunny 12:22

and Doechii yes , how we have all things different circled .

Vanessa 12:26

I know I was telling Ed I was like we're not going to see them all weekend , not true , not true .

Sunny 12:33

A must-see for me is also La Lom .

Vanessa 12:36

Oh , I remember that name .

Sunny 12:38

Our friend Aaron took Clark to see La Lom , and La Lom stands for Los Angeles League of Musicians

Vanessa 12:45

oh ,

Sunny 12:45

fun fact . And they're cumbia .

Vanessa 12:48

Oh , that sounds fun .

Sunny 12:51

Yeah , and they both of them said it was really fun , so I'm kind of just taking their word for it .

Vanessa 12:55

I feel like there's no one else around that exact same time .

Sunny 12:59

Marina is at the exact same time ,

Vanessa 13:00

oh JK .

Sunny 13:01

Could not be more exact .

Vanessa 13:02

I'm circled . Well , maybe we can split time . I know Marina . I like a couple of her songs but I'm not like a huge like I have to see her .

Sunny 13:13

That was one of my favorite sets at Outside Lands

Vanessa 13:15

yeah .

Vanessa 13:16

I think I also circled her because you guys said she was great , but I will circle a La Lom .

Sunny 13:23

No , I feel like we're going to be together like most of this day .

Vanessa 13:26

Well , I'd hope so ,

Sunny 13:27

like , yeah , like I said , anything that's in green and yellow I don't need to see

Vanessa 13:32

I mean anything before 3 , 3 pm .

Vanessa 13:34

Whatever you guys want to go to , we'll go to

Sunny 13:36

Vanessa 13:40

yes ,

Sunny 13:41

Vanessa 13:42

I know we're already at Sunday .

Sunny 13:44

Yeah

Sunday Lineup & Doja Cat Replacement

Sunny 13:45

Vanessa 13:45

okay , you go first .

Sunny 13:46

I only have one must-see ,

Vanessa 13:48

me too ,

Sunny 13:49

and it's Anderson East . And it's only because you have been talking about Anderson East , for so long .

Vanessa 13:57

That is my one must-see also .

Sunny 14:00

Yes .

Vanessa 14:01

That's my must-see for like the entire weekend , to be honest .

Sunny 14:05

Oh , that's so funny , okay .

Vanessa 14:07

No , that's not true . Okay , so I have Anderson East , Hey Nothing . Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Royal and the Serpent . Oh , we circled Midnight Generation , The Bends , Passion Pit , John Summit . But I know you guys are gonna want to Ca7riel y

Sunny 14:27

I've seen them twice now ,

Vanessa 14:29

okay .

Vanessa 14:29

I know that they're good and I like some of their stuff . I just they're not like a must see for me . I don't know .

Sunny 14:38

Go ahead . Sorry ,

Vanessa 14:39

no , that's really all I had to say .

Vanessa 14:40

But didn't Doja Cat pull out of Austin City Limits ?

Sunny 14:44

Oh , we should have talked about that first . Yeah , so Doja Cat pulled out . She was the Sunday headliner and was replaced by The Killers

Vanessa 14:52

oh she was replaced by the killers ?

Sunny 14:54

Yeah ,

Vanessa 14:54

I thought you were just like guessing .

Sunny 14:56

No ,

Vanessa 14:57

you sent the screenshot and then you just typed the killers . No official article or anything . You just wrote the killers in all caps . I was like I mean , she wants the killers . Yeah , that'd be great , but I didn't . I didn't think that was actually happening

Sunny 15:10

they're on here

Vanessa 15:11

they are .

Sunny 15:12

Yeah ,

Vanessa 15:13

I must be looking at a different set list , because mine still says doja cat . That's okay . I need to see the killers . I've never seen the killers .

Vanessa 15:20

I didn't go to outside lands that year .

Sunny 15:21

okay , I was kind of sad for a second . I was like oh .

Vanessa 15:23

no , I .

Vanessa 15:23

I just didn't . Mine still says Doja Cat , that's why I didn't .

Sunny 15:26

Oh , that's funny .

Sunny 15:27

Okay ,

Vanessa 15:28

oh , hell , yeah , oh , my god , I'm so excited

Sunny 15:32

yeah , I'm stoked on the killers being on the lineup now , but I kind of have the same , um the same attitude I had towards Sabrina Carpenter replacing Tyler the Creator . I'm like it's not even .

Vanessa 15:45

It's different ,

Sunny 15:46

not even close

Vanessa 15:46

yeah , but I feel like the genre of Austin City Limits , it's a clear genre . It's a lot of like um , yeah , well ,

Sunny 15:55

bands

Vanessa 15:56

maybe . Yeah , it's a lot of indie bands , that all kind of sound similar , which is great . I mean , they're all , I like them all , but the killers , I feel like fit in perfectly with the whole theme of the or am I totally off ?

Sunny 16:09

I don't know if there's like an overall genre , but I do think there's more country on Austin City Limits lineup than other major festivals for sure

Vanessa 16:17

yeah ,

Sunny 16:18

but I think it has a good spread .

Vanessa 16:20

Maybe it's just all the ones we were like choosing to listen to . That kind of sounded all similar the bends , rainbow kitten surprise ,

Sunny 16:28

I don't know ,

Vanessa 16:28

you know what ? Maybe not , because we listen to one song for all these bands .

Vanessa 16:33

So it's not like , but

Vanessa 16:35

I don't know

Sunny 16:36

I can't remember the bends , but I remember we were talking shit yesterday

Vanessa 16:39

were you really

Sunny 16:40

oh ? Actually , I think clark was just talking shit , because I think , um , that's a radiohead album ,

Vanessa 16:45

oh really .

Sunny 16:45

So he was like why would you name your band after another famous album ?

Vanessa 16:49

the bends I was just thinking of . Isn't the bends what you get when you like go snorkeling or something ? It's like what you want to avoid is getting the bends . Am I totally off on that ?

Sunny 16:59

I just went snorkeling and I that never came up .

Vanessa 17:01

What ?

Vanessa 17:02

not snorkeling or whatever . When you go deep sea diving ,

Sunny 17:04

scuba diving ?

Vanessa 17:05

scuba diving , not snorkeling scuba diving .

Sunny 17:07

I have no idea

Vanessa 17:08

you have to like come up slow or else you get the bends and your body's like you know what . I actually have no idea what I'm talking about and I just made that up .

Sunny 17:17

No , I believe you .

Vanessa 17:18

I think I made that up .

Sunny 17:19

Sounds possible . Have you ever gone ?

Vanessa 17:21

Are you Googling it ? The bends ? What is it ?

Sunny 17:23

Okay , the bends , also known as decompression sickness , is a medical condition that occurs when nitrogen gas bubbles form in the body tissues and bloodstream during a rapid ascent from underwater or high altitude

Vanessa 17:38

, I was not totally off . I

Sunny 17:39

have learned this being a nurse

Vanessa 17:41

I don't remember where I learned it ,

Sunny 17:42

maybe it came up

Sunny 17:44

that's funny .

Sunny 17:46

Um well , you also have midnight generation circled , right ?

Vanessa 17:49

yes , but rainbow kitten surprises kind of at the same time and but I did really like midnight generation . We listened to a couple songs and I really liked them

Sunny 18:00

yeah , and clark and cameron and

Vanessa 18:01

I know that's the band that cameron talked about when he was here

Sunny 18:05

yeah , they were raving about it

Sunny 18:06

okay

Vanessa 18:07

yeah , I love how neither of us circled t-pain . Did you circle t-pain ?

Sunny 18:11

I circled passion pit and t-pain and Polo and Pan .

Vanessa 18:15

I only circled Polo and Pan because I know you guys like Polo and Pan . Oh , you don't ,

Sunny 18:20

I mean not .

Vanessa 18:21

You're shaking your head

Vanessa 18:23

Well , I listened to a couple songs on the way here and I was like , yeah , I don't like this .

Sunny 18:26

It's like a tropical house .

Vanessa 18:28

Okay , I'm going to uncircle them .

Sunny 18:31

Cameron is

Vanessa 18:31

Sorry Cameron .

Sunny 18:31

bring up cameron a lot .

Vanessa 18:33

Maybe that's what it is . It's cameron . I've listened to cameron talked about polo and pan all the time . I would like to see passion pit .

Sunny 18:39

Okay , let's do it .

Vanessa 18:41

Oh , I really want to see john summit because I've never had the chance to , but he's gonna be on at the same time as the killer , so

Sunny 18:48

yeah , it depends on the um the geography

Vanessa 18:51

geographical geography

Sunny 18:54

also , john john john summit

Sunny 18:58

john summit will be around a lot ,

Vanessa 19:01

that's true , and I can always see him by myself some other place , because ed does would not like it . I'm sure once I tell him that the killers are replacing doja cat , he's gonna be so excited .

Sunny 19:10

Yeah , oh my god , I can't believe you didn't know that ,

Vanessa 19:12

because your text was a screenshot of doja cat saying on instagram that you know she's not whatever I love how she was .

Vanessa 19:20

Like I can't give you the performance you deserve . It's like do you think you gave outside lands the performance they deserved ? Because everyone said you didn't . Sorry , that was kind of mean . I wasn't there , so I don't know what I'm talking about . This is just feedback , I got . So then after the screenshot , you just said the killers in all caps and I think I laughed at it .

Vanessa 19:38

I didn't know ,

Sunny 19:39

No one said anything .

Vanessa 19:39

Yeah ,

Sunny 19:40

I was so sad .

Vanessa 19:40

I'm sorry . I thought you were like not being serious . I thought that's just who you wanted to take over . So I was like , oh , she wants the killers Hopefully .

Vanessa 19:56

I don't know ,make

Sunny 19:57

Have Festies call their people . That's so funny . On the set times there's the little icon on some of

Vanessa 20:01

oh yeah that's the sign language icon .

Vanessa 20:04

Like there's gonna be a sign language person I know I also told ed that I was like , oh man , doja cat was gonna have a asl person translating her music . That would have been so funny to watch

Sunny 20:13

oh sick , I did not know that .

Sunny 20:16

Okay , so only basically the big headliners , and then we got to find a chance to do silent disco

Vanessa 20:23

I know

Sunny 20:24

austin city limits has silent disco every night from 8 to 10

Vanessa 20:29

we can squeeze it in before one of the headliners .

Sunny 20:30

Yeah ,

Sunny 20:33

okay ,

Vanessa 20:34

you're gonna have to send me your , your highlighted stuff .

Sunny 20:38

Okay ,

Vanessa 20:39

because I forgot to circle as you were going

Sunny 20:41

okay , I know , I forgot to circle as you were going too

Sunny 20:43

I was gonna put boxes in a vanessa color , and then I totally just didn't

Vanessa 20:47

because , after this , the other step that I like to do if I have time , I will make my own playlist oh , but this is just me , like ed hates doing this . He's like do not tell me what songs are playing .

Sunny 21:00

Oh ,

Vanessa 21:01

I like to go through , look up their average set list and then make really , really long playlists of the set list for every artist that we're gonna see

Sunny 21:13

oh my god

Vanessa 21:14

because I love singing along to the songs .

Vanessa 21:17

I don't like not knowing the songs , so if I can get my shit together in time , I will normally try and do this

Sunny 21:24

I did not know this .

Vanessa 21:25

Are you serious ?

Sunny 21:26

I'm with

Vanessa 21:27

even just with concerts you know that I do that

Sunny 21:30

ahead of time ?

Vanessa 21:31

yeah ,

Sunny 21:32

I don't think so

Vanessa 21:32

no

Wrapping Up Festival Plans

Vanessa 21:33

huh well

Sunny 21:36

not for , like , the reason of knowing the lyrics , so you can sing along

Vanessa 21:41

yeah ,

Sunny 21:41

I feel like it's for like , so you don't miss something

Vanessa 21:44

no , I don't need to know the order that they're being played in . I just like to sing along to the songs . That's my favorite . Don't you enjoy concerts more if you know the songs ?

Sunny 21:54

Yes ,

Vanessa 21:54

if you can sing along to them

Sunny 21:56

yeah , you're right .

Sunny 21:56

The only time I do that is . Here's an example at kaboo in 2017 , the um headliners that were against each other were muse and pink , and I love muse , also love pink , but I don't like love her music . I love her

Vanessa 22:11

yeah

Sunny 22:12

and there were some muse songs that I for sure wanted to see , so I wanted to go look at the set list to see what time could I leave muse

Vanessa 22:19

oh ,

Sunny 22:20

to get to pink

Vanessa 22:22

oh okay , yeah , you could use it that way too . I don't know if you want to be an extra nerd about it , you could do that

Sunny 22:30

okay , yeah , I'm getting really excited for this .

Sunny 22:31

I'm with you , though vanessa said before we came up here to record she , she was like I don't know anybody on here .

Vanessa 22:37

I feel like I know nobody .

Vanessa 22:38

It really was like doing my homework every day except for , I think , friday . The only person I knew was the headliner .

Sunny 22:43

I'm excited about that because I'm trying to get away from this obsession with the lineup .

Sunny 22:48

Like , just go to the festival ,

Vanessa 22:50

right , it's gonna be a good time , no matter what .

Sunny 23:00

A lot of these artists I'm sure you will end up knowing , or you would have ended up knowing later on . Anyways ,

Vanessa 23:04

there are so many on here where the one song we chose to listen to .

Vanessa 23:05

I was like , oh , this is a tiktok song ,

Sunny 23:07

yeah , okay . So let's , let's go over each day again , if that's okay , because I know we just named so many artists and we were a little all over the place . But for Friday , between the two of us , all the artists we named are Aiden Bissett I apologize ahead of time if I'm not pronouncing these right Spill Tab . Johnny Stimson , girl Tones , Bilmuri , Crowe Boys , Maggie Antone, Jensen McRae, King Princess , Role Model , Empire of the Sun , Dylan Gossett , Sam Barber , Confidence Man , Dr Dog and Luke Combs so many well , we know for sure .

Sunny 23:46

you said that Ed really wants to see Maggie Antone and I also want to see her . But you want to see Jensen McRae . That's at the same time , so we'll fight about that later . And then Luke Combs is definitely on all of our lists , so that's Friday . Saturday , between the two of us . We said Eric Slick , ted Hammig , South Arcade , Dizzy Faye , Joey Valance and Brae, Fuji Kaze , Don West , Marina, Spacey Jane, Latin Mafia , South Hall , Doechii, DJO, and Sabrina Carpenter , and I think you and I overlapped on Don West , Doechii and Sabrina Carpenter . Cool Sunday we both want to see Anderson East and Passion Pit .

Vanessa 24:29

That's it ?

Sunny 24:30

The end . But we also named Hey Nothing , Rainbow Kitten Surprise , Royal and the Serpent , Midnight Generation, The Bends , John Summit , T-Pain and Polo and Pan , and then The Killers .

Vanessa 24:44

Sunny 24:45

Vanessa 24:49

I think so I know , when we were , when we were finishing in this up the other night , like going through all the songs , I like went to go swipe for the next day and I was like , oh , it's only a three day festival , as if we need more .
