Comments: Let’s start with the bottom of the barrel, 30 Seconds To Mars are awful and I dread reviewing it. If that Q-Tip and Demi Lovato “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” is anything to go by, the Revamp Elton, as he sells the same old songs again, should be disastrous. Oh, and the Wonder Years, one of the great lossed bands who I lost interest after a nothing great acoustic set featuring the smug Soupy “I’m All In” Campbell. Itr sure feels like The Greatest Generation was a fluke. Most anticipated? Wye Oak, Cardi B of course, but despite calling Azealia my most anticipated twice before and not having the album released, I am gonna give it a third try.
