uh, the Justice show was amazing. I danced my ass off.

I think Amon Tobin rocked, but I felt his smaller venue show in LA was better. It felt was more fan driven, seems like less people knew him here. He played more drum and bass, and it didn't feel like the crowd knew what would happen when he did huge long slow dark bassy stretches before pulsing into some intense fast drum & bass.

I was smiling nearly the whole time Amon was up though!

I didn't go see CSS like I wanted to, because it was nearly impossible to move to the second stage for them between seeing TV on the Radio and Justice at the main stage. I'm glad I stayed put for Justice so I could be front and center!

Justice by far was the most fun I've had at a show! Fists skyward!

Goldfrapp was cool, but it didn't have energy enough for the crowd. I liked the music but it wasn't party music. It was like, lighters in the air at twilight tunes.

Justice had an awesome set, and their lighting is insane.

Aesop Rock was alright. He had a decent dj, not many people were there yet when he played in the beginning. Also it was definitely not a hip hop crowd. I liked him playing some of his older.

I liked Hot Chip quite a bit, they came with some great variety! The style was pretty unique and cool.

TV on the Radio was fun and got some good danceable tunes out. The vocals seem really similar between the songs for some reason. Almost like it was nearly the same song each time?

I think that's everyone I liked. Did I mention Justice was ridiculous?
