Sonic Circuits 2009 Lineup Preview
Sonic Circuits just sent out a sneak-preview of this year’s festival lineup and it looks like it’s going to be a watershed year for DC’s music nerds. The majesty of this year’s bill is rivaled only by its inscrutability to the vast majority of listeners:Faust, Tim Hecker, Jandek!? There’s a whole movie about how it’s impossible to get in touch with Jandek, yet there he is, second from the top. Impressive. A number of other artists, both national and international, are also listed, along with a healthy supply of local talent.
But yeah, I had to pinch myself just to be certain that I was awake and that the event wasn’t really taking place in Baltimore.
The festival will be taking place September 25-27, 2009.

The only reason I’d go to this concert is if I suddenly became dyslexic and thought Feist was headlining.

I hope that happens to someone.

Jandek is releasing pretty much every live show he’s doing these days. You can track them down online, there’s even a clip on youtube of him playing with a funk band. It’ll be interesting to see who plays with him at SC.

dyslexia would cause you to think “fAUst” was “fUAst”. stupidity would cause you to think “fAUst” was “fEIst”.
