I want to see Dead Man's Bones because they are so original, a mix of creepiness, weirdness, but also hope and mystery.
And also because I wrote about them in this blog:

Thanks
I'm dying to see Panda Bear because Panda Bears are an endangered species this day and age. I have seen the collective but haven't got the chance to see Panda by his great self and think this would be a great opportunity and a great venue to experience it.Any money found in the venue will be donated to WWF - world wildlife fund to help Panda Bears remain a healthy species on planet earth.
i want to go see best coast!! i love her and her cat snacks. i've been listening to her album nonstop this whole summer and am dying to see her live, even more so after she covered one of my favorite songs by wavves! also, seeing the rest of the AMAZING lineup @ FYF such as washed out, cold cave, & school of seven bells would be the highlight of my summer. soooo good i'd die more than twice. <3
7Seconds has my vote!
I'm really looking forward to seeing School of Seven Bells. I have fallen in love with the new album, and the beautiful overlapping vocal melodies. I have never seen them live and want to really badly. Tickets to this festival would mean so much to me, I have never attended a FYF and would love this to be my first experience of the festival, through winning a contest!!

I'm dying to see !!! I just love there music and would love to have one last chance to dance in the LA summer sun! I want to go soo bad but it really isn't in the budget so winning tickets would seriously be a great finally to my summer.
OMG I would kill to see warpaint, best coast ariel pink and vetiver... among many others. please please please please please please choose me. choo choo choooooooooooose me <3
i want to brag to my siblings while they're at ATP this weekend that i got to see panda bear & ariel pink!!! i'd lalalove to make it to FYF!!!!
i must see best coast. any video that has my favorite scary character, who slings buns and cheese to children of all ages, at the beach makes for good listenin'. Please. please. please.
I can't afford tickets and am dying to go to FYF. I especially would love to witness the magical powers of Arial Pink, among all the other bands on this astounding lineup. Arial pink's conversations between instruments is simply polarizing on recording so i can only imagine the live aspect. please pick me! Thanks.
Seven Seconds because back in 1993, in the back woods of Connecticut, we rebelled against the mainstream by carving the album cover into our thighs with razor blades and hot paperclips as a testament to our alliance with other angry, misfits of the world.
I want to see Washed Out!! Ive been following these guys and the thought of hearing "Feel It All Around" at sunset in Downtown LA is giving me CHILLS!!!!
7 Seconds is one of the longest standing hardcore bands... they are always amazing and a lot of fun to see live... would love to see them play outside in LA following OFF and Ceremony!
This sounds kind of cheesy but I sang "Boyfriend" by Best Coast to my boyfriend, so he can be mine =) Me and him have the same music taste and we love a lot of the bands that will be playing at FYF Fest, especially Best Coast, !!!, and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. I think it would be the best way to end summer by going to this festival and seeing all of these great bands in one day. If we can win, that would be awesome! If not, it's still okay and I hope everyone has a great time. Have a great day everyone =)
The Rapture...saw them open for Interpol & The Cure....awesome. that night will go down in history.
The Rapture because love is all my crippled soul will ever need.
I've been dying to see dead man's bones because they give this dead girl a boner.
I would LOVE to see Best Coast! And the comedy! The lineup looks amazing. Garofalo, Scheer, Besser, Kinane and Kirkman! And so many more amazingly funny people.

I would love to see !!!. I've wanted to for years now, since their first record came out. a bunch of ex-hardcore kids playing trippy dance music with live instruments? Who wouldn't want to go to that.
I've been trying to see dead man's bones for sometime now but i can never afford to make it to venu & pay the ticket price. basically because they please all of my senses.
I'm new to the scene so I don't know who to look forward to hearing....I hope to discover some new bands!
Not dying to see any of them 'cause I'm new to the scene...I hope to discover some new tunes.
i am DYING to see washed out. because the last i heard about earnest greene (the frontman) of washed out was that he was still living in his parents house and about to get married. he said he wasnt gonna go on tour, but i guess he changed his mind. so i would looove you guys if you gave me the opportunity to see him.
and i would also want to see local natives because they're from orange county, so i gotta represent! :)
I would love to see Magic Kids, haven't gotten the chance to see them! Should just be an amazing festival!
