I Was(n’t) There: A Slacker’s Guide to Lollapalooza

Instead of slapping on suntan lotion, smokin’ a doobie, and heading to Grant Park to watch tons of awesome bands at this year’s Lollapalooza, we’re still at the office like a bunch of frickin’ dumbasses. But we know we’re not alone, so we’ve scoured the Web to find all the best coverage, videos, tidbits and music coming out of Lollapalooza 2008. It’ll seem like you’re actually there, but without all the sweaty people and $25 bottles of water.

Check out the best Lollapalooza-covering Sites on the flip side!

Highlight “Preview” Coverage: Ok, so it’s not really a preview since the fun has already started, but if you’re not yet familiar with who’s playing and why you should be bummed you’re not at the festival, check out the Rolling Stone round-up of the best acts to check out–or miss, in our case…

Downloadable Tracks: The good people at Stereogum.com have put together a compilation of tracks from 28 different bands playing at this weekend’s Lollapalooza festival. It might not be as good as seeing a live show (or 28 live shows), but at least you’re not…uh….dead….

Live WebCast: AT&T has taken the weekend off domestic spying, packed-up the Winnebago and headed to Chicago, just to give you live Webcast coverage of some of the dopest acts. This is the best place to go to watch exactly what you’re missing.

RS Live Coverage: Rolling Stone’s Jenny Eliscu and Pete Maiden have the Lolla coveage on lock with their “Backstage Blog.” Plus, they’ve got oodles of photos and videos for your envious viewing pleasure. So if you want to know what kind of debaucheries are going on behind the scense, this would be the place to go.

Holla From Lolla: – Spin.com will be covering Lolla this year from beginning to end, with interviews and live performances coming straight to you from the Hard Rock Hotel. Just that little extra to make you really regret not going.
