Outside Lands Needs Your Help

Yesterday, SFist reported that the Beastie Boys will pull out of this year's Outside Lands Festival. If you recall, doctors discovered a cancerous tumor in Adam Yauch's left parotid (salivary) gland, so the band is taking time off to recover, canceling their tour and postponing their album release. But, according to SF Weekly who keeps track of the OL Twitter feed, the folks at Outside Lands are asking the public for help: "Ranger Dave is diligently working to replace the Beastie Boys. Any suggestions?" Yes. Yes, we do. We would love to see Goldfrapp perform at Outside Lands. Failing that, Leighton Meester would also do nicely. ("Body Control" and Golden Gate Park were made for each other.) But they're probably looking for more male-friendly bands. After all, they have to perform after M.I.A. Be sure to send them worthy candidate names via Twitter.
