Hmm why i should win? well, it’s either win these tickets or die trying to climb the fence and duck security.
I’ve been working on my vocals with the help of Solange’s beautiful voice and would love nothing more to be singing along to her music. If I had it my way I would be her back-up dancer or back-up vocalist but one wish at a time….
All 200+ entries are cool and all, but nothing will be more memorable than doing acid during my bloody valentines set. PIIIIICK MEEEEEE.
Dear Santa,
I can’t wait on your fat ass for another 4 months so maybe Grimy Goods will answer my wishlist this year. I’ve been (a loose interpretation of) good and I would like to see thee oh sees, death grips, antwon, yyys (fo sho), melvins, flag, the Freakin LOCUST!, MGMT, and TV on the Radio. Now, I know that would be a stretch for an elderly, round man such as yourself but I believe that out there, Grimy Goods is just waiting to give some lucky little man, like myself, the chance of a lifetime seeing all of those bands in one location, along with a lot of other great bands. Sorry big guy, its over. I make my cookies for Grimy now. Say hi to your hedgehog wife for me.
Love,
Me
Can’t wait to see Jonathan Richman!
I would love to see MBV, Washed Out and Roky Erickson!!!! FYF would be the ultimate way to end the summer, please please please Grimy G’s!
Forgot to leave a reason! Reason why you should pick me is because I’m broke and my bf won’t buy me a pass. I also want a reason to wear booty shorts this summer.
So I want to see Holy Ghost!, toro y moi, solange, devendra, YYY, washed out and definitely house meat disco!! Too many to list. Can you please pick me?! 🙂
MBV, The Breeders, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs–I love bands starring bad ass girls. Would love to go but as I am part of the 99%, I can’t afford the $99.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MBV, Les Savy Fav, Yo La Tengo, Delorean, !!!, and Solange!
Because I took the train by there during the Hard Fest and it looked like a hott mess! And FYF is 1000X better! BUT it’s such a great venue for an outdoor festival like this, right smack in the middle of a metropolis like LA. it just feels kinda dreamy.Also, I hate beyonce but love Solange! would love to see the one with the actual talent perform.
Need to see Yeah’s, Melvins and MBV. But also Chelsea Wolfe, she should be known be everybody.
I am remiss Grimy – I left my comment for FYF tickets on your facebook wall but failed to do so here. Alas. I am a poor fool. If you have it in your hearts to forgive me, please consider my plea to see My Bloody Valentine at FYF. I need a vacation.
I want to see Charles Bradley, Dan Deacon, Deerhunter, Les Savy Fav, Omar Souleyman, FLAG, Ty Segall and pretty much anybody else I can get to with out missing these dudes haha
TVOTR and YYYs!! 2 of my favorite bands that I’ve somehow never seen live.
I LOVE FYF Fest and would like to go this year to see 3 of my all time faves I’ve missed over the years MBV, YYY, and The Breeders. The line-up this year is my fave so far. Catching Washed Out, Beach House, MGMT, TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, STRFKR, Toro y Moi, Charles Bradley, Kurt Vile, Thee Oh Sees will be an amazing bonus and I would love to dance my ass off with sets from Simian Mobile Disco, Classixx, Poolside, and Delorean. Coincidentally, this year’s fest lands on the weekend of my 12th year wedding anniversary and I would just love to take beloved wifey again this year on the special day to see 2 of her all time faves, Beach House and MBV to close. The set times are out today and I wish I could catch so many acts, but set times overlap! ARRRRRGH! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
LOCUST!!! MELVINS!! PPLLLEEEAAASSSEE!!
MBV, YYY, Melvins, Breeders, Jonathan Richman, Beach House, Flag, etc. I’d like to experience the “holocaust” portion of My Bloody Valentine’s set again.
Oh awesomeness!!!! I would very much love to see the YEAH YEAH YEAHs! MGMT and HOLY GHOST!
This would be the beat anniversary present for my husband ever! I be always wanted to take Him but when I was able to get tickets he was going to be deployed to Iraq… He turned me to the band, and this would just be too awesome!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs…. she makes my heart hurt! ♥
Toro y moi are going to be so dope live! ahhhh
I desperately want to see My Bloody Valentine, Omar Souleyman, Horse Meat Disco, Glasser, Chelsea Wolfe and Yeah Yeah Yeahs and would love to take a friend who is to broke to attend.
Solange, MBV and Simian Mobile Disco:)
I want to see Chelsea Wolfe, Devendra, !!! and all the comedians. And I should go because my international vacation was cancelled and now I have two weeks of vacation time to take and no plans to fill it with.
I’m most excited for beach house, devendra banhart, and toro y moi. I should win the passes because it takes me forever to sneak in every year and I miss all my favorite bands
Hi Grimy Goods! I would love to win tickets to FYF fest to see the yeah yeah yeahs, tv on the radio, mgmt, toro y moi, nosaj thing, beach house, flume, and foxygen. I wasn’t able to go to coachella because of school, didnt make it to hard, and couldn’t afford outsidelands. I think it’s time for my luck to turn around so I can atleast see all these artists at FYF! Thanks 🙂
I am most excited about the Breeders and the Melvins. Going to party like it’s 1993!
im most excited to see Beach House and My Bloody Valentine
You Should choose me to win because I Fucking Love FYF Fest!!! 4th year in a row and counting!!! rolandocello@yahoo.com Hit me up Grimy Peeps!!!
All I have to say is DEERHUNTER!!!
I’ve never really had a music festival experience (now seems imposible to afford it) and just having Karen O, Kevin Shields and Victoria Legrand in the same place, makes it an epic experience and a dream to me.
My girlfriend and I have been going to FYF Fest for the 4 years we’ve been together (it’s kind of a tradition at this point) and this year is the first time we can’t afford to go. We both finished grad school in May and having a bit of trouble finding that full-time work we were expecting.
It’d be a dream to see Joann’s punky idol Karen O on one night and then MGMT the next – jamming out to “Kids” together was one of those experiences that sealed the deal on our relationship status back in the day. Besides TV on the Radio, Deerhunter, Beach House, !!!, and Ya La Tengo, whom we already love, we know we’ll walk home on Sunday night with at least 5 new favorite bands… FYF always has a knack for picking the winners!
Also, if I win the ticket, you guys can after-party at our place :-P. It’s only a short walk away from the park!!! Thanks for the opportunity – Grimy Goods f*ckin’ rocks!
I am EXCITED to see Foxygen, Death Grip, Poolside, MGMT and Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Y’all should give me a free pair of weekend passes because I have been with GG since the beginning, I have NEVER been to FYF, it’s a great way for me to explore much more music out of my usual collection, and why not! Please and thank you!
Grimy, I am beyond excited to go to FYF this year – that is, if I win the tickets allowing me to do so! I’ve only been to one other FYF (2010) and I think it’s high time I made a return. Really hoping to check out some of my faves, like YYY’s, Holy (fucking) Ghost, Toro Y Moi, Poolside, and Mikal Cronin….can’t leave out FLAG and The Melvins either …..just to name a few. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be next weekend so please hook me up! Thanks GG!
Hey GG! There are so many acts I would love to see at FYF, but I most need to mention Poolside, !!!, and Holy Ghost (all of whom are playing Sunday). Those 3 bands are among my absolute favorites and they never fail to impress me live. Seeing them in a festival setting with thousands of other people will be an experience like no other and I would love the opportunity to do so – especially all in ONE day. My dancing shoes would get a workout like they’ve never had before! Of course, I would also be stoked to see YYYs, Classixx, Beach House, TV on the Radio, Ty Segall, Kurt Vile, Charles Bradley, Simian Mobile Disco…just to name a few others!!
The lineup to FYF is amazing! I would love to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Devendra Banhart, MGMT, Beach House, Washed Out, and Poolside!! I have never been to an outdoor music festival before and would love to go!
I’m most excited to see both My Bloody Valentine and Simian Mobile Disco! I’ll leave it up to chance and hope for a W!
I’m excited to see Foxygen!! You should choose moi, because I DON’T have kids. . . but am interested in making them 😉
I would LOVE to see My Bloody Valentine and The Breeders! I’m a product of the 90’s!! My husband and I need a full day of awesome music, kid free style!!
I’d like to see Glass Candy, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Devendra Butthurt, and Glass Candy. You should give me tickets so I can take my spoiled girlfriend out. Hopefully she’ll find another guy there, or at the very least we’ll lose each other during a concert and I can have some time to reflect on the state of my life.
Joking aside, I’d most like pass these on to my sister who just started high school and has not yet discovered the darkness of reality. I stopped hearing the music a long time ago. She’ll enjoy it though. She likes music.
Touche amore, everyone else is a bonus. All I want to do is pour my heart out for as long as their up and shout at the top of my lungs to their songs. I’ll count the hours having just one wish, if I’m doing fine there’s no point to this.
It’s always been my dream to see MBV live. I thought I’d never get the chance, and to be honest, without winning these tickets I still may not get to see them. But if I do win, I’m excited to visit a friend of mine in California to go see MBV, Washed Out, Deerhunter, Beach House, and many other bands. That would be my dream. 🙂
