Lollapalooza 2009 will kick off on Friday August 7th at Chicago’s Grant Park. The complete lineup of artists scheduled to appear has been released and three-day passes are currently on-sale for $190.

After a quick review, it is safe to say that Lollapalooza will be the best music festival of the summer.

Some of the highlight artists include: Tool, Depeche Mode, Lou Reed, Arctic Monkeys, Silversun Pickups, The Killers, Jane’s Addiction, Kid CuDi, Kings of Leon, Atmosphere, Santigold, Rise Against, TV on the Radio, Besatie Boys, Vampire Weekend, The Virgins, Ra Ra Riot, The Knux and many others.

If you hadn’t noticed, we here at COED had a F’ing awesome time at 2009’s South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. But can you blame us? We got to hang out with Hannah Hilton and Meggan Mallone, saw a once-in-a-lifetime Jane’s Addiction show at the Playboy party, caught Kanye West’s secret show at The Levi’s Fader Fort and saw tons of beautiful music babes. But we’ve saved the best for last – our favorite, most rockin’ bands from this year’s music fest. Out of over 28,000 photos taken, we’ve narrowed it down to these selects. So, without further adieu, we give you the Best of SXSW Music 2009.

P.S. don’t forget to check back soon for tons of exclusive videos!

It’s no secret that Playboy and C3 know how to throw one helluva a SXSW shindig, but Thursday night’s Rock The Rabbit After Hours Party was the end-all-be-all.  I mean, hanging with eight Playmates in an abandoned grocery store with an endless supply of BBQ and swill may be a little less than commonplace, but seeing the original Jane’s Addiction lineup shred balls from the dairy isle was definitely a first.  Sure, I was a bit apprehensive that a grown-up Jane’s (minus the addiction) might be better suited as the opener on a Styx/Def Leppard parking lot double bill, but the boys brought it and brought it bigger than ever, busting out nine aggressively explosive pre-1990’s classics.  Thank you Jane’s for leaving the steel drum and the slow karaoke anthems back in 1997 where they belong.
