Rage Against the Machine. Audioslave. The Nightwatchmen. There is nothing that Tom is a part of that isn’t absolutely amazing. He’s the Keith Richards to Mick Jagger.

Last year at the highly acclaimed Newport Festival, he cursed them, because their festival was sponsored by Dunkin Donuts. He believes in the American people, and highly frowns upon corporate business.

Anyways, he took some time before a sound check to talk to MOG (indiepixie) - about his “Axis of Justice” movement. He’s fighting for social justice on his “Justice” tour, which includes some amazing acts.

Feed the Poor. Fight the Power. and Rock the F*ck out. You rock Tom.

Lollapalooza, the festival I remember as a child as the “Red Hot Chilli Peppers play with their willies out” is trying its damndest to make me forget all about that. On April 7th, in the wee hours of the morning, the most fantastic lineup has come about, one to make Coachella would be attendees rethink Indio, and possibly move along the greater Chicago Area for a few days. The festival takes place August 1st - 3rd at Grant Park in Chicago, and though the early bird tickets are sold out, the $190 advanced passes are making this seem like the best deal since Radiohead released In Rainbows for ‘whatever the heck you want to pay.‘

Headling, as you may know, will be the noted Radiohead, last years Coachella closer Rage Against the Machine, Trent Reznors Nine Inch Nails and ‘‘George Bush still doesn’t care about black peoples,’ Kanye West. Other extreme notables are Gnarls Barkley (The Odd Couple released on March 18th), Brand New, The Gutter Twins, Grizzly Bear, personal favorite Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s, as well as The Ting Tings (KEXP song of the day April 3rd). If you’re still up in the air about what festival to attend this year, time to make up your mind. I figure with 115 bands, you’re roughly paying $1.75 per act. That’s fantastic.
