A couple months back, we told you about tickets going on sale for this year's XPoNential Music Festival. So did you get tickets? No? Well why the heck not? XPoNential kicks off tomorrow evening, and there is a ton of music worth catching, so it's time get moving and get your tickets—which are an absolute steal at $25 per day or $60 for a pass to all three days (with a discount for WXPN members). The event will feature 25 acts, plus a crafts village with vendors selling their handmade wares, and a Village Green where festival-goers can learn about sustainable and eco-friendly products that are the forefront of the Delaware Valley's green scene.

           

We've always liked Weezer (MySpace) a lot, but never considered them one of our absolute favorite bands. This is largely because, with the exception of the Blue Album, there's quite a bit of inconsistency in their releases. The albums tend to have three or four killer tracks, two or three pretty good songs, and three or four complete throwaways. But we were cautiously optimistic about Saturday's Weezer show at the Susquehanna Bank Center, because we figured there was a possibility that the setlist would include most of the band's standout songs and keep the throwaways to a minimum.
