Yes, I know opinions are like assholes but this is my blog, right? OK, just making sure.

That being said, why does the annual Siren Fest lineup always suck? Yes, I know its free and whatevs but none of these bands interest me... and neither have any of the bands on the bill for the last few years really. 2003 was OK. Diane Perini needs some new contacts.

Yawn. Whatevs, dooood.

Here's the press release:
