Okay, I promise this is the last Pick Your Poison introduction that I’m going to quickly brush off due to being super busy. At least the last one I’m going to brush off for awhile. There may be some extensive Riot Fest coverage coming up next month that could steal my attention for a week or so, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Meanwhile I’m finally climbing out from underneath the rock that’s been Lollapalooza 2014, and I say that with love. Devoting almost a full week to writing and editing pieces along with photos can take a lot out of you. So thanks for your patience. Meanwhile, the music just keeps coming, and so do the Pick Your Poison entries. Today’s highlights include tracks from Alburn, Deep Sea Diver, Happy Dagger, The Last Bison and Paperhaus. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from The Call (ft. Michael Levon Been of BRMC), The Growlers, Juniore, The Knocks (ft. Powers), Lemonade and Mansions on the Moon.

Now that I’m fully recovered from the extensive coverage of the 2014 Pitchfork Music Festival a couple of weekends ago, I’m pleased to welcome you to the beginning of another week’s worth of festival coverage, this time for Lollapalooza 2014. It’s the 10th anniversary of the festival since it made Grant Park a permanent home, and I’m proud to say that I’ve not missed a single day of it during that time period. Things have certainly evolved in that period of time, some for the better but mostly for the worse. Basically it’s gone from a four stage mini festival on one small segment of Grant Park to an eight stage behemoth that covers the entirety of Grant Park. Sometimes it seems like the older I get, the more difficult it becomes to accurately cover something so massive, particularly as the lineups haven’t exactly been my favorites these last couple years. Yet the festival is more popular than ever, selling out in record time despite increasing ticket prices. Is my increasing apathy towards Lolla a case of growing older, or is it more a function of people obsessively buying tickets every year less because they love the lineup and more because they love the atmosphere and hanging out for three days in the summer sun with friends? I’d argue a little of both. Anyways, if you’ll be heading to Lollapalooza this year, keep an eye here on the site, as I’ll be posting a preview guide, some lineup playlists, and daily recaps of everything I see. Yeah, I’m still going to have lots of fun, and if you’re going I hope you do too. Okay, how about some Pick Your Poison action for the Monday blues? Good tracks in this set come from Anjou, DREAMERS (covering Nirvana), GOONS, Nordic Giants and The Pharmacy. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream new songs from Dope Body, Dralms, Jessie Ware, Low (covering Bruce Springsteen), The Rentals and TOPS, among others.

This week marks the official start of the 2014 Pitchfork Music Festival coverage here on Faronheit. For those who don’t know, I spend a full 7-8 days immersed in the world of this festival, which is truly something unique and special every single year. The artists selected from year to year are always top notch and often on their way towards bigger things. Yet this is also a boutique festival, in that it’s smaller than your Lollapaloozas, Coachellas, and even things like Sasquatch. There are only three stages, everything is easy to get to, and the crowds are friendly and laid back. If you’ve never been, I highly encourage you to go at least once. Not only is it a whole lot of fun, but you’ll make some pretty great music discoveries along the way. As part of this week-long extravaganza of coverage, in the coming days I’ll be providing a day-by-day preview guide, along with daily recaps during the festival itself, plus a wrap-up with photos and such afterward. Today serves as more of an introduction to all of the artists on the lineup to help familiarize yourself with them. Even if you’re not going to be attending, I strongly recommend you check it out if you’re interested in finding some cool new bands (along with some firmly established ones). Of course you could also look through today’s edition of Pick Your Poison, which can be helpful with that too. Key tracks in this set come from Alex Autajon, Brenton, I Am Giant, In the Valley Below, Killers Walk Among Us and Kinky Love. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream new songs from Cassie Ramone (ex-Vivian Girls), Childhood, Cut Copy, Generationals, Laetitia Sadler, Running and Twin Peaks (who will be at Pitchfork Music Festival, by the way).
