So, All Points West turned out to be somewhat of a washout

Friday night and most of Sunday were a muddy bust it appears. Two bands from host state New Jersey were bumped off the card yesterday because they must have been deemed expendable after a 5 hour delay. Steel Train and The Gaslight Anthem deserved better treatment. Jay-Z we hear did a nice tribute to the Beastie Boys on Friday night. Plenty of Gogol Bordello coverage and not one mention in the entire coverage from the Jersey Journal and Star-Ledger of Neko Case's set? Criminal.

Anybody you the Jersey City Desk reader would like to see on the 2010 stage at All Points West?

Was Neko washed out since she wasn't mentioned??

maybe she won't want to play that festival again since she was dissed.

They had a list of cancellations on Sunday but she played Saturday (Scheduled Saturday anyhoo), sunny and warm as the day was long. You could see the festival from on top of the Empire State Building. Nah, she's too cool to worry about a slight by the Star-Ledger or Jersey Journal
