Can't download the Sunday Schedule.

Otherwise, can't wait for the crowds of fun.

What are some of the many things you can rag on Canada for? Better public schools, health care and legal gay marriage?

It's set up in a shitty area - can't get to my regular bars for the weekend. Set it up further East on Pike Street - or how about closing Broadway!! I hate Cap Hill Block party - not only do you pay too much for head banging music but then you get to pay too much for booze. Austin doesn't close it's regular bars when SXSW is there - DUH let's get a clue!!

Everyday Records is mentioned on the Capitol Hill Block Party web site, which is cool, but don't forget to also hop into Sonic Boom a couple of blocks away. I'm not affiliated with them; I just live nearby and I'm excited they're near me and I want them to live and do well.

Not sure $20 for a full day's worth of music counts as overpriced, but maybe you don't pay for music so it seems like a lot?

I love the new MGMT album! I like the first more but the new album shows a level of maturity that a typical critic of the nowadays can't comprehend...

Just for starters: horrible winters, hockey hair, a metric shit ton of mediocre-awful bands, Geddy Lee's voice, the widespread use of the French language, hyper-senstive internet commenters.

I'd rather give myself a mullet, blow Gord Downie and bury my head in the snow than live here for another year. I can't wait to get back to Canada.

This lineup is terrible. But so is live music these days. Not the block party's fault.. they chose what's popular! It's THIRTY dollars a day though, if you pay at the door.. and that's disgusting.

Still not cool to wear fur. Especially if you are in a shitty band.

only objection to the block party is the terrible hygiene on display. ticket price should include a voucher for a free shower with shampoo and soap
