NYC Popfest 2009 lineup announced!

Another year and no popfest for me! Yay!

The lineup for this years NYC Popfest has finally been announced and it's as amazing as anyone could have possibly hoped! Unfortunately it's been scheduled smack dab in the middle of finals week, so I (along with, I would assume, many other popkids in college!) won't be able to make it! Fantastic! Hopefully this scheduling conflict will be taken into consideration next year! Anyway – my peril aside – this year's popfest WILL be amazing for those of you actually going. After an initial scan of the lineup, my personal highlights would be Knight School, Liechtenstein, Cats On Fire, The Metric Mile, Burning Hearts, Pants Yell!, and of course, the lovely Rose Melberg! Though, I would be pretty excited to see each and every band on the schedule. God, I was upset about having to miss it before I knew the lineup, but now I figure I might as well just die...

Without further adieu, the schedule!
