IHEART Radio Festival Las Vegas Sept-23-24, 2011 (Lady Gaga, Coldplay headlining)

[Ardentbiscuit]

I would call this fest, "IHATE Radio Festival".

You know who would love this? My sister. My sister who literally started yelling me because I've never heard the whole "Call Me Maybe" song before. Yep she was mad because I didn't know it was the "biggest song" the past few months. Yep this is right up her ally.

I haven't heard this song yet either. Entertainment Weekly has devoted more ink to it than nearly anything other than The Amazing Spider-Man or The Dark Knight Rises the last month. I'm sure I'll finally be exposed when they start churning it out over the PA at work, but until then I'm happily oblivious.

You just jinxed yourself by writing about it; I bet on the drive home somehow, it will reach within earshot and for that, my sincere condolences.

Deadmau5, you don't get to talk shit about other artists anymore. You should be embarassed to be playing this.

Paychecks dont just come out of thin air. Its hard to feel embarrassed when you just have to play like 6 songs over the course of 30 mins.

I'm sure Deadmau5 was doing fine before this offer came up.

[Bons222000]

Right i'm sure deadmau5 needs this paycheck or his family would starve.

My issue isn't so much him doing the festival (lame as that is unto itself) -- but more him doing this festival after talking shit about something like Ultra.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I can't believe people pay for this..

[RageAgainst]

This is sad! After watching psy gangham im in disgust. Watching all these super rich people dance to shitty music does not help these yuppies at all! Makes them look dumb for spending $300+ to see artists that the radio plays over and over and then literally watch those artists only play those hit songs.

Considering the Hit songs is all they care about it's perfect for them. I don't see any real difference between this and a KROQ or any other radio fest.
