Hi all! I live in the wonderful city known as Louisville, Kentucky. Each year, the city puts on Forecastle Festival which was...Founded in 2002 by Louisville native JK McKnight, Forecastle has grown from a neighborhood event to one of the country’s most anticipated summer festivals, drawing tens of thousands of fans from across the world to Louisville’s scenic 85-acre Waterfront Park. In addition to featuring a who’s who of musical acts such as Jack White, The Black Keys, Outkast, Widespread Panic, Beck, Sam Smith, Smashing Pumpkins, My Morning Jacket, Bassnectar, The Flaming Lips, Band of Horses, Sleater-Kinney, and The Avett Brothers, Forecastle has consistently promoted local artists as well as focusing on environmental activism and outdoor recreation. Past Forecastles have featured prominent organizations, industry leaders, and distinguished speakers, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (Riverkeepers), Rob Caughlan (Surfrider Foundation) and Christopher Childs (Greenpeace International). You can find more info at there site, here. Basically, since I am from Louisville, I attend the event every year. This year is no exception, and I already purchased a three day pass way back before the lineup was released. Unfortunately, a good friend of mine is getting married on Saturday, and therefore I will not be able to attend for a full day in which LCD Soundsystem will be playing. Thus, I am trying to sell my tier one weekend pass at cost (after fees), which comes out to $170. Now, I know what you're thinking! But, I can still buy the tickets online through the vendor! While that is true, you will still have to pay for fees, and will end up having to pay much more than $170. Thus, if you are interested please shoot me a PM! I can physically mail you a ticket, shoot you an email with an attachment, or (I believe) send it via ticketmaster.

I know this isn't really the place for this. But, I am looking to either buy, or trade something for Brand New tickets. Not really down with the $100+ it is on ticket websites.

Finally this beast is available for public consumption. The debut LP from Lexington, KY's THE ELSINORES. Dreamy, post-punk influenced songs that evoke feelings of nostalgia, loss, and hope simultaneously. Comparisons to Husker Du, New Order, Wipers, and early Merchandise would all be alright starting points, but this thing is truly its own unique beast. Perfect production that's full and enveloping rounds everything out. 500 copies on black vinyl, most with screen printed inside-out LP jackets, less with screenprinted fold-over covers, all including an 8 page half-sized zine with lyrics, art, and associated writings about the album and songs therein. This is HKR-014. Released in conjunction with IFB, Karmic Swamp, Dead Tank, and Human Crush.
