Roskilde.

Someone told me to make a post about what I'm going to see at Roskilde. Well, I found out that you could make your own version of the Roskilde poster where you got to choose headliners yourself from the bands that are playing Roskilde. I thought: Brilliant idea. And then I used a picture of a unicorn:

Also, a few words about these bands:

Them Crooked Vultures: One of the best supergroups I could imagine. Their first album was great, they have a second on the way - hoping they'll play some new stuff from that one! Serena-Maneesh: Well, I think I've told you enough about this Norwegian noise pop/rock band that sounds like My Bloody Valentine if they attacked their songs a bit harder and did acid. The National: I can't wait to see this guys live. I think it's going to be amazing!
Wooden Shjips: Not one of the biggest bands on Roskilde, but definately one of the most exciting ones! Psyched out 60's psych noise rock that gets you into some sort of trance.
LCD Soundsystem:
The ultimate party. James Murphy is kind of a genius - their new (and last!) album is really cool!
Kasabian: First time they ever come to Denmark. I think they're a great band and I'm looking forwards to seeing them live. Either, it's going to be kind of crappy or kind of awesome. Hoping for the best!
Gorillaz:
Seeing Gorillaz live isn't a chance you get very often so I'm stoked about this booking. I have no clue what they'll pull of live but I'm truly excited!
Dirty Projectors:
After watching their performance of Cannibal Resource on Letterman, I'm convinced that this is a great live band. Probably the best indie booking of the year by Roskilde. Prince: A true original, a musical genius and a very under-estimated guitarist. He's a legend! Muse: Always a pleasure to experience live, I believe. Last time I saw them was in 2008 and that was really good.
Titus Andronicus:
Punk rock energy, shit loads of booze and fantastic songs. Not much more to say!
The Kissaway Trail: These Danes are a great live band. The music reminds me a bit of Arcade Fire.
Ghost Society:
Danish shoegazers that I can't wait to see live.
CV Jørgensen:
A Danish legend that must be experienced .
John Olav Nielsen & Gjengen:
This dude is believed to become the Norwegian answer to Bruce Springsteen. This has potential!
Teddybears: Swedish guys that mix rock, pop, hiphop and stuff. Hoping for a party!
Robyn:
Probably the best and most interesting Nordic pop act of the moment.
Kandy Kolored Tangerine:
Danish garage rockers inspired by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Sonic Youth, among others. Their songs are cool!
Pavement:
Legendary American slacker rockers are back and they're headlining the festival. I've never really listened to them but everyone says it's going to be amazing so I guess I'll just check it out since I'm there anyway.
Wild Beasts: These guys are kind of cool and their very theatrical indie rock might work really well live, I think.
Health: This is mostly just because they're hyped as hell and I want to see what all the fuzz is about.
Efterklang: Another Danish band, their latest album is very fine. I'd really like to see these guys play it live and see how they'll do.
Biffy Clyro: First time I saw these guys was then they opened for Queens Of The Stone Age and they did an honorable job. Their latest album is sort of sloppy in my opinion but the one before that, Saturday Superhouse, is really great.
Beach House: Another hyped indie booking, they should be shoegazing sometimes and I'm a sucker for shoegaze so now, it's time to check them out!
Kashmir: Danish band playing beautiful rock tunes. They deliver the goods brilliantly when they play live.

I have no more to say. Enjoy your Roskilde Festival, I'm sure I will.

Cheers!
