Photos: Best of Total Bummer 3D

It’s been 2 weeks and I’ve finally gotten around to sorting through the mountains of pictures that emerged from the 4-day music festival, Total Bummer. A gallery of pictures rarely captures the emotions and energy of an event, but here’s an assortment of highlights that hope to try anyway.

Special thanks to James Dechert and Tiny-Waves.com for the following images.

Total Bummer is a Total Winner (PLAYLIST)

So there are a lot of music festivals lately – have you noticed? And they’re getting bigger; much bigger. Ten bands in one day used to qualify as a “festival”. Now SXSW has 1000 bands and lasts 6 months (I think). With all these festivals popping up, surely there’s one out there with allure past a few interesting headliners AND doesn’t cost $300. Maybe? No? Bummer.

Orange You Glad Music Festival

“Orange You Glad Music Festival returns in spring 2012 with a four-day festival in Orlando, FL from MARCH 8-11. Each day will transport concertgoers to a different area of the city, meaning you’re not only sampling the sounds of more than 60 national, and local acts, but you’re also enjoying a taste of each of Orlando’s finest venues, rotating between concert halls, pubs, coffee shops, record stores and more. Featuring music headliner CULTS, performing their critically-acclaimed, self-titled debut, comedy headliner EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE!, touring with a new show and full-length film, and notable local and regional acts Hundred Waters, Saskatchewan, and Great Deceivers, Orange You Glad, in its quirky, reverent way, concocts a perfect mash-up of what’s relevant to Orlando show-goers at an affordable price. In addition, vendors, artists and food trucks will populate the parking lots for between-show action and enticements.”

RIP Langerado

In Florida, the first weekend in March is usually a Northerner’s fantasy… highs in the 70s, fat old sun shining away, birds bigger than they ought to be lazily picking critters out of serene swamps… but something significant is missing this year. It’s not the snowboards slowly playing shuffleboard in West Palm Beach, and it’s not shark attacks (although their number is down significantly). There is a very quiet ghost roaming South Florida, one whose glorious life was short but beautiful, and meaningful to many people around the world. March 6 2010 is the two-year anniversary of the death of a very good friend…  In 2009, Langerado, Florida’s premier music festival, was canceled indefinitely, with little chance of ever occurring again.
