WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

bonnaroo saves the day

Posted over 2 years ago
so, i'm at work and so far all i've really done is:-listen to dane cook for the past 3 hours and quote practically the entire thing. it's sickening, really it is.-look at "Geek 2 Geek":www.gk2gk.com with some of the other girls in the office and ...well, geek out. i know it's kind of mean, but those profiles on there are just too fucking hilarious to resist. one guy actually said that he considered naming his first son "luke" so that someday in life, he could say "luke, i am your father..." in a darth-vader voice. that is, of course, assuming that he ever gets laid, which is not looking likely at this point. so, i'm out for coachella. down for the count. no way i'm going. but i've made peace with it. sort of. after all, bonnaroo is coming. it's coming it's coming it's coming.via "igif":www.iguessimfloating.blogspot.com, here's how the line-up is looking:The Police (headline)*Bob Dylan* (headline)Pearl Jam (headline)*Tom Waits**Willie Nelson*+*Umphrey's McGee*+Bela Fleck and the Flecktones_*Modest Mouse*_+The Black Crowes+*Ryan Adams*_+*My Morning Jacket*+_*Arcade Fire* ( i mean really, who can believe that i haven't seen them. WHO?)Keller Williams BandHot ChipAmerica*TV on the Radio*Fountains of Wayne*Les Claypool**The Shins*Grace Potter and the NocturnalsToots and the MaytalsThe Roots_*The Decemberists*_Of MontrealCat PowerOzomatliPerpetual Groove*Band of Horses*John Butler TrioNickel Creek+_*Medeski Martin and Wood*_+Lily AllenNeko CaseKeiren Hedben (Four Tet) & Steve Reid*The Hold Steady*Earl ScuggsCharlie LouvinMan ManGrizzly BearKonono #1The Slip+Rodrigo y Gabriela+Uncle Earl*Annuals*Beirut*M. Ward**Cold War Kids**Girl Talk*because i'm bored at work, i've bolded the ones i'm really dying to see, italicized the ones i've already seen, and underscored the ones i've seen at other fests and know they kick ass in that sort of setting (which is really not always the case, ask anyone who saw RHCP last year at...wherever it was. i don't remember).wow, my anal retentive nature is really getting the best of me.i mean, okay, it's no RATM reunion. i get it. but fuck off, i'm POOR.

  3. Lyla says right now they're at $125, with service fees it comes to $140. that's exactly how much i paid last year for the very awesome, but not nearly *as* awesome All Good 10. this year, i'm just springing for the big time. bonnaroo is really the best - from what i've heard, it beats the shit out of coachella (ie you can bring your own drinks, food, etc. and it's cleaner).

  4. Lyla says "The ticket will be a specially designed souvenir ticket, unique to the BONNAROO 2007. *Incidentally, your ticket will also make you more popular with the opposite sex and appear seven years younger.*" -from the bonnaroo website. haha.

  5. SatisfiedMind614 says if even half of that lineup is true, this would rock...I can't see Tom Waits playing Bonnaroo..but that would be cool if he did...

  7. brand X says just a heads up, you left your "bold" and "italic" tags open after les claypool. Doesn't show up in explorer, but makes the world so emphatic when viewed on other browsers. go ahead and delete this

  9. Lyla says looks fine on mine, and i don't really understand what "tags open" means. i'm computer illiterate, pretty much.

  10. brand X says Just a common courtesy Sat. Lyla indicated that she was using various forms of emphasis to share with us information about certain items on the list, I thought she might like to know that, with the open tags, some of us couldn't be sure which bands she was dying to see, etc...

  11. brand X says lyla: tags are the things that look like this
    , 
    the ones with the slash close out whatever attribute they pertain to, so having an open tag means that the one with the slash is missing, so the attribute will continue to be applied to all that comes after it. It doesn't really matter, I just thought I would let you know. If you don't want to or can't fix it life will continue in much the same manner that it has before. and once again, feel free to delete this

  15. Hmmm says I prefer that to coachella! Tom Waits, of Montreal, Cat Power, Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, Pearl Jam... awesome (note I didn't say Modest Mouse. I'm giving them the silent treatment for that new single =( Probably still my favorite, though.)

  16. Lyla says i don't know if it's real or not - it was leaked in the Manchester Times (manchester, TN, where the festival takes place every year) but nobody is sure if it's for real so far. the confirmed, totally REAL line-up is being announced on valentine's day. i don't really care either way, i'm getting those fucking tickets.
