Rembert Browne has made the astute observation that deciding which summer festivals to attend this year mainly boils down to the question “How many times do you want to see Outkast?” over at Grantland. Untangle the web of logic here.

For those not entirely interested in Outkast and living in Europe, you may want to check out Denovali’s annual Swingfest (4/18-19 in London, 4/25-26 in Berlin, 10/2-5 in Essen), which routinely features the best Europe has to offer in terms of modern instrumental music. Head over to Denovali for full details,  and someone please buy me a plane ticket for the Berlin show 🙂
