With one of the more solid lineups of any festival this year,  Download Festival (San Francisco Edition) was a day full of indie rock's coolest bands,  e.g. TV on the Radio, Muse, and Beck.   The main stage even had the looney Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Cali-favorites The Shins and Rogue Wave.  They all pulled off a solid show, which included Beck's puppets, Muse's lightning in a bottle, and Karen O's psychotic look.  Each band played for roughly an hour, and Beck finished everyone off with a multi-media extravaganza.
