All Points West Line-Up Announced!

“Coldplay, Tool and the Beastie Boys will headline the second annual All Points West Music & Arts Festival, to be held July 31- Aug. 2 at Liberty State Park in New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from lower Manhattan,” reports Billboard.

I always wondered why the poster or website never say that. They make it sound like APW is somewhere in the sticks the way Coachella is. “Tickets go on sale April 3. Single day tickets are $89, while three-day passes start at $199. Organizers are offering several lay-away options as well.  A portion of the proceeds will benefit Friends of Liberty State Park, which is working to make environmentally friendly improvements to the venue.”

Be it eco-friendly sticks or eco-friendly metropolis, I want to go to All Points West. Sure, Radiohead isn’t on the roll like it was last year, but I’m sure Coldplay and the Beasties will try to make up for that.

Terry Urban: MGMT x Q-Tip. Jay-Z x Kid Cudi. Beyonce x The Cure

Terry Urban: MGMT x Q Tip. Jay Z x Kid Cudi. Beyonce x The Cure listen

Kind of late on this one, but better late than never, I always say! I’ve always liked Terry Urban. I’m not sure if it’s because of his actual work, or because of how exciting his projects seem to be. On Urban’s How My Brain Works 2, he mixes blogbabies MGMT with rap legend Q-Tip, legend and newcomer, and everything in between (somehow between MGMT vs Q-Tip and Jay-Z vs Kid Cudi, Terry mixes Beyonce with the Cure, that’s sheer awesomeness).

MGMT ft. Q-Tip – Electric Stop

Jay-Z ft. Kid Cudi – Party Day N Nite

Beyonce ft. The Cure – Emo Ladies

Shoutout to Terry Urban’s blog for the tracklist and the download to the whole compilation! Download the whole thing after the jump!
