In one week from this very moment, I will be boarding a plane to Milwaukee to embark on my journey to the Rothbury Festival for 4 days of music and general rabble-rousing. While my wife is now practically begging me to not go, for reasons she refuses to get into (I sense a trust issue?), there's no way in hell that I am missing this. We will have our camping gear, water bottle and Advil packed and ready to go well before departure time. And I can only imagine that my anticipation and giddyness will only increase as the festival grows closer.
So, for the next week I will be posting songs from artists that will be in attendance at said festival. If you happen to be attending this gathering of musical merriment, drop a line and maybe we'll meet up. I'll show you my tent.
Here's a nice little tune from Atmosphere, who I am incredibly pumped to see. If a certain Rage song happens to appear on the set list, I expect things to get a little wild.
"In this era of the hip hop anti-hero, there's no more unlikely candidate for universal stardom in the rap game than a gangly kid from Minneapolis….Slug is bringing a new DIY spirit and, gulp, emotional vulnerability to a hip hop scene currently orbiting out of control in a materialistic galaxy." - XLR8R

Sorry to hear that the wife isn't feeling this trip. You had better be checking in every hour on the hour. :)

Checking in every hour on the hour? Maybe for the first day. By 2:00PM on day 2 there's a good chance I will lose my cell phone in a freak port-o-potty accident involving a juggling midget, 2 Rockettes and fireworks. I've seen it happen a thousand times, and it's never good.

my idea? Kill two birds with one stone:

Don't tell wifey that, she'll jump on your bandwagon and harp on me until I get onto the plane. Is your backyard big enough to fit 40+ bands? If so, I'll make some calls and see what I can do about getting venue moved. Make sure there is a "No Hippies" sign at the gate.

"Go hard or go home. And get weird."
That's my motto.
