Whoops. Forgot to write about my FFFF experience.

I'd never been before, but it really has found a niche being the anti-ACL: that is, not oppressively hot, smaller stages, less people, more varied acts, good weather, the "my-god-it-was-actually-fun" factor. As opposed to ACL, where large crowds dictate your movements, this was much more laid-back.

I always like hearing good live music for the first time. Such was the case for me on Sunday with Ocote Soul Sounds. The band layed down some serious Latin grooves and lit up the afternoon. Ocote is the sometimes-solo project of Martín Perna with regular contributions from Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma. Unfortunately, their next show (with "Ocote full funk suit") is at the same time as the KVRX benefit on Thursday.
