The Official Bonnaroo 2009 Coachella Board thread

[rage patton]

New Mexicio and Canadia!

[Backwater]

Shakedown Alley is sort of the main road at the Bonnaroo campsite. Its where everyone goes to buy/find/sell all their drugs. Although last year I never once had to go hunting for drugs. Everyone came to me, all I did was sit in my lawn chair in my pajama bottoms and my wallet. :D


Am I the only one in here that's a little anxious to see what "shakedown alley" has to offer this year!

Wait, since when did Shakedown Street become Shakedown Alley? WTF is going on here? Shakedown Street isn't unique to bonnaroo at all. There have been Shakedown Streets at Grateful Dead shows since the 60's. GD has a very popular song called Shakedown Street. Here's Of Montreal covering it at Langerado.

The only time I've seen it performed live was at roo 06 by Phil Lesh and Friends, it was awesome.

[pancakespancakes]

Backwater is a hippiepedia.

[faxman75]

pussy

Meh.

[TommyboyUNM]

I think someone already corrected Salah and trancehiphop. It's just semantics, really. They were talking about Shakedown Street. (that wasn't sarcastic, was it Tim?)

[faxman75]

I second this.

I've done acid. I'm far from a pussy. Try again. :D

[TommyboyUNM]

I've done acid. I'm far from a pussy. Try again. :D


I wasn't calling YOU a pussy. I second the general notion of pussy. It's not always about you.

[Backwater]

I think someone already corrected Salah and trancehiphop. It's just semantics, really. They were talking about Shakedown Street. (that wasn't sarcastic, was it Tim?)

Haha, I just saw that Ron corrected it. I missed it, my bad. Regardless, I like how Of Montreal united the hipsters and hippies with that cover.

I think it was miSTEVEious that said acid and shrooms are only different in subtle ways. That's not true at all. Yes, they both make you trip but they're entirely and vastly different. The more you do both, the more you realize this. For me, at this point, the difference I experience between the two is so huge. It's like the difference between being drunk and doing coke, a completely different feeling, mentally and physically.

Tommy, you'll fucking LOVE acid! :)

[canexplain]

I think someone already corrected Salah and trancehiphop. It's just semantics, really. They were talking about Shakedown Street. (that wasn't sarcastic, was it Tim?)

yea i did, i just didnt explain it like backwater did .... but a bit more then semantics, it does have a whole history of its own ..... cr***

Drug usage does not equate to toughness.

[TommyboyUNM]

Brandon. Let's take E and talk about our feelings. What do you say, tough guy?

[miSTEVEious]

I second this.

just so ya know faxy, i was referring to the person with #6, not you:)

[Backwater]

Drug usage does not equate to toughness.

Ludacris - "I never claimed to be nothin' but who the fuck I am
Never sold cocaine in my life, but I'm still the fuckin' man"

I agree with hawkingvsreeve for the most part but never underestimate how suddenly violent a crackhead or junkie can be in the depths of a binge. They just snap.

[miSTEVEious]

jeez fax didn't you know i was more of a nice guy than that? i don't go around insulting you all ever :)

Having an addiction negates any idea of being tough. Recreational use isnt the same obviously, but I'm just sayin.

[Backwater]

Having an addiction negates any idea of being tough.

Right but I'm not talking about ideas, just reality. Tough and violent are also two different things so this conversation is pointless.

[miSTEVEious]

i feel pretty damn tough when i'm hopped up on pcp

[faxman75]

Drug usage does not equate to toughness.

You are correct. I thought I was flexing in the PAW thread. I fail.

[faxman75]

jeez fax didn't you know i was more of a nice guy than that? i don't go around insulting you all ever :)


:lool

I figured you were just bustin' balls. I thought it was funny and random. :)

Another Dead Weather date confirmed:

06.11.2009 Coyote at City Block, Louisville, KY

Looks like a full tour is on the horizon.

Who wants to bet The Dead Weather will be part of the final round of additions?

[faxman75]

From the upcomming shows thread...



Who wants to bet The Dead Weather will be part of the final round of additions?

I don't think so but I would like it. I called them for the fall festival circuit and that has happened but that tour date sure makes it look imminent.

[canexplain]

i feel pretty damn tough when i'm hopped up on pcp

i think that was the only drug i couldnt handle, well a drinking a qt of teq at a sitting ...... cr****

[amyzzz]

I'm sorry I brought up drugs. :nono

Yea, this coming from the same guy who said Jay-Z is playing ... just sayin

I would LOVE to drink tequila with Ron! I can't really think of anything that would be more fun than that.

[rage patton]

I don't think so but I would like it. I called them for the fall festival circuit and that has happened but that tour date sure makes it look imminent.

With a date on June 11th.... that means The Dead Weather could play Friday, Saturday or Sunday at Bonnaroo. Why don't you think it will happen?

[Backwater]

Why don't you think it will happen?

because Blackswan said it

i get pretty goofy , never ever mean, and i tend to get kicked out of clubs when i do hehehheh.... hey rage i was in my photobucket account looking at old pics and i still have the one from your 1k post, and now look how you grew up lol ...... cr****

[apostle2]

I would be fairly surprised if the Dead Weather were not added.

[Backwater]

Getting kicked out of a club with Ron would be the highlight of my life. Fact.

[faxman75]

Just going on the assumption of no more big adds. I did admit it looks likely that it will happen though and i'm all for it. Sometimes I just dont' like to get my hopes up.



I'm totally geeking out on Wilco today. This is an exciting year for my favorite band and seeing them at the Roo is going to be fantastic. I talk about Nels and his shredding quite a bit and for a nice example I present his solos during Handshake Drugs. There is no guitar player I enjoy watching more.

but i owe him one big time, i have a feeling the dead on sunday will be epic :)

[Backwater]

Who in the fuck is Dead Weather?

Oh, you're going Steveious? Good. I felt kinda bad leaving him there.

Another Jack White project.

[canexplain]

Another Jack White project.

yea i think they did their first gig like last week ..... cr****


what was funny though when i did get kicked out, everyone knew me, even the cops, so they were always nice which was kinda funny ...... lets see there was the bluebird, the fillmore, the ogden, the gothic, cervantes, hahaha and some more then once .....

Ron is a headliner. It's official now. KOL, Muse, Gorillaz, Arcade Fire, etc have nothing on him.

[miSTEVEious]

lulz

i'd be a lot more happy if THE DEAD were added to roo than THE DEAD WEATHER

[miSTEVEious]

that would basically make it the most epic roo of all time for my tastes. also, i'd be plenty damn satisfied with allman's :)

[Optimistic]

i don't know, they are REALLY low on the Roo line-up.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Fax, is that the video from Ashes of American Flags? I heard the performance of that song is incredible on the dvd.

BONNNNNNAAAAARRRRRROOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited! I just need to survive two more weeks of school

[hawkingvsreeve]

Sunday is still falling flat.

[woogie846]

I would be fairly surprised if the Dead Weather were not added.

Do you think there'll be another round of additions, or just one or two added?

[ED GEIN]

Do you think there'll be another round of additions, or just one or two added?

i think additions are done.

[rage patton]

Friday: 33
Saturday: 27
Sunday: 17
Dates not set: 3

I am aware Sunday does not have late night sets, but my bet is (including the 3 not yet assigned to a day) 5 more will be added to Saturday and 5-6 more will be added to Sunday.

So yes, Im pretty sure they were will one more round of additions.

[faxman75]

Fax, is that the video from Ashes of American Flags? I heard the performance of that song is incredible on the dvd.

BONNNNNNAAAAARRRRRROOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited! I just need to survive two more weeks of school

Nope that's some random Wilco gig. Nels brings it like that constantly! It's going to be a good summer. He does in fact destroy on the Ashes DVD as well. I can't stop watching.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Fax, when is that Wilco/Grizzly Bear date in Tucson again? After watching that video I feel like I need to make this show.

[apostle2]

I don't think additions are done, but I wouldn't expect 10 more acts, at least not recognizable ones.

I would guess 1 or 2 more name acts (Dead Weather/STS9?), 2 or 3 small acts, and a comedy addition or two.

also, possibly a last minute announcement about the Superjam.

[sin213]

^ yeeesss! this is what i want to know about. who is part of the superjam!!!

is that something that is usually selected beforehand? or is that something that just happens?

[sbessiso]

From the upcomming shows thread...



Who wants to bet The Dead Weather will be part of the final round of additions?

They fucking better. Three straight Bonnaroos in a row with a JW fix for me. They have to keep their streak going.

[TommyboyUNM]

^ yeeesss! this is what i want to know about. who is part of the superjam!!!

is that something that is usually selected beforehand? or is that something that just happens?


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe last year was the first year that is was a surprise Superjam.

[rage patton]

^ yeeesss! this is what i want to know about. who is part of the superjam!!!

is that something that is usually selected beforehand? or is that something that just happens?

Last year, it was leaked about a week or two before set times came out that the super jam would feature Eugene Hutz and Les Claypool. Originally, the rumour was that Tom Waits would also be a special guest. A few days later it was revealed Kirk Hammet would play guitar on a few tracks and that it would be an entire set of Tom Waits covers. That is basically what happened. Eugene Hutz was on guitar and vocals, Les Claypool was on bass and vocals and Kirk Hammet came out and play 3 songs with them. Also, the drummer and violin player of Gogol Bordello provided the rest of the band.

This year, Im guessing the superjam will be a third Phish set.

[Backwater]

The "european" clear the pit style thing has definitely been mentioned before, months ago. I'm 100% sure about that. Anyway, thank you Blinken for posting that and Sunday fucking owns IMO. This is much better than any Sunday roo has ever had. Remember, this isn't Coachella, it's an entirely different thing and they do things very differently. Sunday never has any big acts. This is four days long and over $100 cheaper than Coachella. Different.

[sbessiso]

I've been waiting since 2007 for JW to be involved in the Superjam

[apostle2]

Actually, the Superjam has only ever been officially announced once before hand, that was in 2007 with John Paul Jones, Ben Harper, and ?uestlove. It has leaked twice before, last year some of the information came out about the Waits superjam, and in 2006 some people had an inkling it would be GRAB (Benevento-Russo Duo with Mike Gordon and Trey Anastasio) but there was not really a solid leak. other than that, it has always been kept under wraps.

and it's always figured out before hand, just not announced.

[woogie846]

I've been waiting since 2007 for JW to be involved in the Superjam

Jack White vs. Nels Cline Shred Off '09!

[Backwater]

I've been waiting since 2007 for JW to be involved in the Superjam

Oh, good point Salah! Let's start thinking about Superjam possibilities. I completely forgot about that this year for some reason. 07 remains my favorite by far, but I've loved them all. This year you've got Trent, Trey, Mike, JW probably, the b boys, Bruce, Byrne, AC, GB, Merle, Badu wow ... the possibilities ... I hate the word "epic" but the possibilities ...

[sbessiso]

Jack White vs. Nels Cline Shred Off '09!

I dont know who that is but it sounds wonderful!!

[apostle2]

Nels Cline in the Superjam = best set of the weekend.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

There will be definitely be a David Byrne/Santigold collaboration.

And the idea of a third Phish set is mind-boggling. But I would go see it if there were rumors.

[Backwater]

Trent, Jack White and Trey in the superjam = best set of the weekend, Erykah would just be icing on the cake.

[sbessiso]

There will be definitely be a David Byrne/Santigold collaboration.

And the idea of a third Phish set is mind-boggling. But I would go see it if there were rumors.

8 hours of Phish isnt enough for you? Really??

[Backwater]

8 hours of Phish isnt enough for you? Really??

Nope. If it's not enough for the Sasha and Digweed ravers then it's not enough for us either. bonnaroo is awesome.

[sbessiso]

Phish Food! NOW we're talkin

[apostle2]

Trent, Jack White and Trey in the superjam = best set of the weekend, Erykah would just be icing on the cake.

I honestly think this is the year for jack white if the dead weather gets added. and I think trey is pretty much a shoe in unless they go for something very specific again.

[rage patton]

Yeah, Trey will 100% be part of the super jam.

[Backwater]

jack white and trey, dueling guitars and/or banjos = heaven

thank you bonnaroo

[woogie846]

I dont know who that is but it sounds wonderful!!

The guitarist for Wilco.

Clarence Clemons in the Superjam would be incredible.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Nope. If it's not enough for the Sasha and Digweed ravers then it's not enough for us either. bonnaroo is awesome.

Oh yes. Phish are an absolute must see for me as well.

I was thinking about my top acts to see at Bonnaroo. They include, in no particular order:

David Byrne
Erykah Badu
Phish
NIN
Wilco (That Handshake Drugs video got me so excited)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Booker T. and the DBTs
Amadou and Miriam
Fema Kuti


And I keep forgetting Elvis Costello is on the lineup. The guy is a legend.

[sbessiso]

Amadou and Mariam are incredible, man. I saw them at Coachella 06 on my mother's request and Im so glad I did. Theyre very spiritual and way cool. A very groovy couple they are

[Backwater]

Gonsh knows what's up, so does Ron, Calmer and I think maybe pancakes, oh and bmack likes Phish now too I think. The only reason I keep track is because it's very humorous how many of you "optimistic" "open-minded" music fans HATE Phish before you've seen them. It makes me chuckle.

Oh and these superjam possibilities are really making me giddy.

[woogie846]

jack white and trey, dueling guitars and/or banjos = heaven

thank you bonnaroo

If we're going for banjos here, Bela Fleck is a must.

[sbessiso]

Tiiiiiiim, chill out homie. Theyre sooo boring. Im gunna check them out but only to say that I did. If I like it, I like it but those chances are slim. Its perfect time to go do something else

[faxman75]

Fax, when is that Wilco/Grizzly Bear date in Tucson again? After watching that video I feel like I need to make this show.


June 18th. It's a Thursday night.

[Backwater]

If we're going for banjos here, Bela Fleck is a must.

David Grisman too.

Oh and I <3 you Salah, you know that.

[faxman75]

Jack White vs. Nels Cline Shred Off '09!

WIN!

[faxman75]

Wilco (That Handshake Drugs video got me so excited)


I had to watch it twice. He is just that damn good.

I like your list of acts to see Gonshman.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

June 18th. It's a Thursday night.

Hmm. Maybe I'll be able to make this. June is just going to be a crazy month with Bonnaroo, summer job travel, college orientation, and general college preparation, so I guess I'll have to wait and see how things play out.

[sbessiso]

Can someone repost that wilco vid? I missed it.

Wilco is a band ive read so much about but have never heard before. EVER. I feel like I would like them though. Ill definitely check them out at Roo

If I wasn't so open-minded I wouldn't even bother to watch a minute of them. I'm giving them a chance at Bonnaroo. They are THAT boring to me. If it was any other band I wouldn't even bother. So I think you and the other Phish fans have done well at convincing us "haters" to at least see some of their set(s).

If you want a lift, it's just me and my roommate going at this point. Let me know.

[TommyboyUNM]

That video is really good, Faxy. Nels Cline will be fun to watch. The music did kinda sound like the soundtrack to a laid-back 80's road trip montage. If you can imagine that.

[woogie846]

The only Phish album I own is Billy Breathes, but I want to familiarize myself more before going to Bonnaroo. Is there another album I should check out?

[faxman75]

The audio for the Ashes of American Flags dvd is a must for anyone who likes this band. You hear Nels shred even more and sounds a zillion times better than that youtube clip. You can't really find that on any of the studio albums because Nels has only been around for the Kicking TV live in Chicago CD (early in his Wilco career) and Sky Blue Sky. SBS is sort of a boring album to most on first listen but Nels destroys on those songs live and brings this band to a whole new level of damn near headliner status.

This new album is going to be something else, I can't wait to hear what he did in the studio now that he's been fully let loose.

[faxman75]

If I wasn't so open-minded I wouldn't even bother to watch a minute of them. I'm giving them a chance at Bonnaroo. They are THAT boring to me. If it was any other band I wouldn't even bother. So I think you and the other Phish fans have done well at convincing us "haters" to at least see some of their set(s).

This is how i'm going into it as well.

[apostle2]

I actually like phish too, I'm just not super pumped about seeing them because I know there will be killer conflicts for the late night set, and sunday night I will be dead. but I WILL be at the sunday set, and I WILL be fucking pumped for Antelope.

[JSam67]

That video is really good, Faxy. Nels Cline will be fun to watch. The music did kinda sound like the soundtrack to a laid-back 80's road trip montage. If you can imagine that.

Nels Cline is unbelievable. I'm getting very excited to finally see him work some magic.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

The only Phish album I own is Billy Breathes, but I want to familiarize myself more before going to Bonnaroo. Is there another album I should check out?

At The Roxy. It's fantastic

[faxman75]

Same song pre Nels Cline for comparison purposes.

Handshake Drugs

dlmi4W9DyIU

Not that Jeff's guitar work on it is bad either. It's definitely more lo fi though.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I just downloaded the Ashes audio and am listening to Handshake Drugs right now. This is looking like my album for tomorrow.

[faxman75]

For fans of Feist, she is on the new Wilco album and they collaborated for the Woody Guthrie single that was released last week The Jolly Banker

[sbessiso]

STvoZMkpRpY

WTF!!!!

This guy is incredible!!!

[faxman75]

Thank you Bonnacrew for being so tolerant of all the Wilco i've been going on about today. I'm glad you are enjoying it.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

WTF!!!!

This guy is incredible!!!

Isn't it great! I'm even more excited for Bonnaroo now after this reminder of how much I like Wilco when I listen to them.

Fax, have you ever read the Chuck Klosterman profile of Jeff Tweedy? It's interesting, because apparently Tweedy entered rehab a couple of days later.

[apostle2]

I think wilco are my #3 for this year. NIN, Bruce, wilco. then the other 40 or so acts I'm interested in...haha

I have a couple Wilco cds that I jacked from Starbucks. I need to dust them off and start doing my homework.

And Klosterman is one of my favorite writers, ive read all those books so many times ive lost count. I think about that article almost every time I hear or see anything regarding Wilco or Tweedy

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I have not. Where would I find that?

[sbessiso]

Im really excited for Bruce. I know almost none of his songs and I dont really plan on boning up on them. Im just gunna show up and have my mind blown by him and his band. Its going to be so much fun

[faxman75]

Nice, I think I would trade out Bruce for Rodrigo y Gabriela. I have a feeling they are going to bring something really wonderful to the farm. They don't play in the US much either so it's extra special. :D

[TommyboyUNM]

It's good to see all you fuckers starting to get excited for this lil' festival again!

[faxman75]

Is everyone over Girl Talk yet? Why is that jackass so high on the poster?

I was fucking raised on Bruce, my mom has seen him 8 or 9 times. And all she ever talks about is how they are the best live show ever, how he jumps on the piano, yadda yadda. this has me so pumped, how often do you get the chance to see one of the world's greatest showmen AND songwriters outside with 80,000 other people?

Last time they played at bonnaroo they were AWESOME. the crowd was super into them and they definitely fed off it...

[Backwater]

The only Phish album I own is Billy Breathes, but I want to familiarize myself more before going to Bonnaroo. Is there another album I should check out?

Any New Year's Eve. I personally recommend 95 the most. Also be sure to check out 96 and 97. As far as studio albums go, which I don't really recommend in general (the live stuff is much better), check out A Picture of Nectar, Hoist and Rift.

[faxman75]

I'm getting so excited for this fest. The lineup is what got me there and it's really damn good. Possibly the best of the year.

[sbessiso]

I cant wait to give Drew a giant man hug. Im more excited for that than half the lineup

[apostle2]

If you are really that into the lineup faxy, then you are going to have a fucking BLAST. it is usually not my favorite line up, and is still consistently amazing.

Exactly. Im not really as jazzed for this lineup as I was for Coachella or am for Lolla but it doesnt matter. Theres a reason I bought my ticket in fucking November

As for Girl Talk, one of my friends who's going with our group told me today he is his number one act, and he will lineup for the pit system however early is necessary to get first row.

[faxman75]

:lool

[sbessiso]

Well Girl Talk will be in a tent at night so your friend doesnt have to worry.

But damn, some of these friends that we have. My friend said the exact same thing except for Crystal Castles. CRYSTAL CASTLES. Jesus...

Oh, don't you worry. There is much excitement for Crystal Castles as well.

[sbessiso]

I will not be seeing either act, im pretty sure. You Gonsh?

[Mr. Dylanja]

I tried to listen to Crystal Castles today and could not do it. It sounded like bad 90s pop to me, the few parts of certain beats I liked quickly disappeared in to the sound of annoying.

[faxman75]

Dylan, you asked me if I thought you like Wilco. If you watch that Nels Cline vid and don't dig it. You won't like Wilco.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I will not be seeing either act, im pretty sure. You Gonsh?

Only Girl Talk, and he's at the bottom of my list in terms of conflicts. I figure he'll stop by my college at least ten times over the next four years as well.

[woogie846]

I'll be avoiding Girl Talk and Crystal Castles like the plague.

[faxman75]

I'll be avoiding Girl Talk and Crystal Castles like the plague.


Ditto. I was into the album for about 3 mintues but damn if that didn't make me sick of all the shit he was spinning. Walked up to the beginning of his set at Coachella and was like WTF am I doing here.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Dylan, you asked me if I thought you like Wilco. If you watch that Nels Cline vid and don't dig it. You won't like Wilco.

Well...I know we'd have a good time if we watched their set because I'm going to have a good time at every set. What day are they playing? If they don't conflict with one of my favs I'll be there.

Dude was shredding in that vid for sure and the music sounds like it's perfect Roo-vibe :thu

Saturday most likely right before Boss Time!

[Mr. Dylanja]

So like, Department Manager Time?

[faxman75]

Alright, so my roommate's mom is still here and still awake. I feel like a god damned child. I need to go smoke my bong so I can get rid of this nausea, play some poker and go to sleep. I hate feeling restrained in my own place.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Everyone I warned about Crystal Castles being horrible live found me and told me they should have heeded my advice. If you are going to go check them out, have a backup plan. Chances are you wont stay longer than 10 minutes.

[faxman75]

Tommy, did you inquire any more in the Sasquatch thread about the regular parking lot being open on Friday night so you can leave your car?

[JSam67]

I was fucking raised on Bruce, my mom has seen him 8 or 9 times. And all she ever talks about is how they are the best live show ever, how he jumps on the piano, yadda yadda. this has me so pumped, how often do you get the chance to see one of the world's greatest showmen AND songwriters outside with 80,000 other people?

I was raised on him, too. I listened to Nebraska this morning and started getting so excited. Right now, I've had a change of heart and am getting PUMPED for the Roo (namely Byrne, Bruce, NIN, Wilco and Animal Collective).

But yeah, I will be all over every minute of that Springsteen set. Salah, how is it possible that you know so little of his music??

[Blinken]

I have been listening to the River alot lately, I am getting so psyched up for Bruce. I will go and download Nebraska later since I have never heard it. I wasn't raised on springsteen and knew very little of his music before the lineup came out too.

[pancakespancakes]

Crystal Castles were amazing at Coachella. Blew me away. No I'm not being sarcastic. But I'm the only one on the CMB who saw them and felt this way. And I'm really not into their music. Maybe it's just the influence of my friends I saw them with...

Sayin.

[herro kitty]

I hate Alice. All the songs I like from Crystal Castles are without her.

Eto!! So excited!! It's coming up soon :)!

170,000 at Glastonbury...but I'm sure a lot will be elsewhere at the time. I think Franz Ferdinand is playing another stage at the same time.

[apostle2]

Glasto can't count. For any argument really. Too big/good.

Boourns did you get your Glasto tickets?

[Boourns]

Pancakes, I have to pick it up at the festival entrance somehow, apparently, but yes, I have a ticket.


Too big/good.

That's what she said.

[Principal Onyx Blackman]

Crystal Castles would be pretty good live if they got rid of that cunt singer. She is just awful live.

[sbessiso]

But yeah, I will be all over every minute of that Springsteen set. Salah, how is it possible that you know so little of his music??

I wasn't raised with him. Its not like his music is played everywhere but there is one song that I do love, the title track off "The Rising". I remember the first time I heard that song it was on the MTV awards of all places. Bruce opened the show and I was just amazed. It sucks that he isnt playing that song im hoping he whips it out at Bonnaroo. But ever since then i've always had an interest in Bruce. And even though I dont know his music I consider myself a fan. Y'know?

But fuck dude, I DO have some Bruce CDs that I jacked from work. I need to get on this shiiit

Glad to see you're coming around, Jigga. I was worried for a second :winkiss

Also,

jesus panccakes, crystal castles too? I would just like to point out that you're officially the first person ive seen to ever give their live show a good review. Just sayn

I had no idea you hadn't ever really listened to him at all. Please set aside the Killers for an hour sometime and listen to Born in the USA.

[sbessiso]

I will. Thats the one I have, along with "Magic" and maybe "Born to Run" too. I'm not sure.

So you, me and The Boss right? His set sounds like it would need some beer

[canexplain]

morning gang ...... cr****

[JSam67]

Absolutely (and I think Patrick and Eric will be with us also). Oh, and beer and Molly are definitely going down at that set. Maybe Bruce will pull you on stage during Dancing in the Dark, a la Courteney Cox!

[sbessiso]

omg!! I can so do that dance too.

Molly, eh? I like your style, bro. This is why we're friends.

Dude's gonna play for 3 hours. Preparation is a must! :thu

Speaking of our friendship, I'm going to have to post this picture of us at The Cure. It's just a picture of the stage and you can't make out any people. Except we're adorned in glowsticks. :)

[sbessiso]

It's a continuing surprise to me, how good Springsteen looks for his years.

Oh I know!! When "The Rising" came out (and when my interest in him started) he was on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and I was like "Whoa! He's hot!". I've felt that way ever since then. Bonnaroo is gunna be fun, I wish you were going MP

[Mr. Dylanja]

Salah, I'm really surprised you couldn't talk Mark into coming to rolls balls with you for Bruce.

[MissingPerson]

I'd love to see Bruce live, but I couldn't be bothered going to see him play any of the big stadium shows he does.

A fest would be sweet though...

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Did any of you actually watch the video?

And after yesterdays Wilco talk I re-listened to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. It's fantastic.

[sbessiso]

Salah, I'm really surprised you couldn't talk Mark into coming to rolls balls with you for Bruce.

Lollapalooza has The Killers.

Ahhh. Do it if you want but I think I look terrible. Im no longer posing for any pictures on Coachella Sunday. 4 days of drugs, sun, dancing, little sleep, etc. really takes a toll on you. Surprisingly

[JSam67]

Salah, here's that picture. My glowsticks appear to be functioning at a higher level than yours.

Probably shortly after Amy Winehouse next tours...

Seriously though, hopefully I'll get over for next Coachella, but it won't be a proper coast-to-coast tour or anything, because college exams start shortly after.

Bonnaroo is going to be incredible. I'm getting there too, it was just difficult for us to shake out of Coachella mode. Especially after this year, this year is what I will compare every other festival to.

DAVID BYRNE!

EDIT

Gonsh, I watched the video btw. I normally despise Tom Morello and I didnt here. That should say something

I still can't wholly shake my PCD, but I'll get there. Just sucks being so far away from EVERYONE else. But hey, I'll live, I get to see The Prodigy with a number of folks from my Chella Crew in 2.5 weeks and then it's Roo -> P4K -> Lolla.

Not a bad summer. Just gotta get through these lonely May doldrums and soon we'll be Byrne-ing down the Roo!

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Who's excited for the Al Green/David Byrne duet on Take Me To The River? Because I know I am.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Don't fuck with me Gonshy!! What if those two are part of Superjam?!?!

[sbessiso]

Yeah, tell me about the PCD. But prodigy?? LUCKY. I have NIN/JA on Friday and then im just gunna go in hiding until Bonnaroo so I can save all my money. It's unbelievably comforting that I have my Lolla ticket/airfare already.

I also have Animal Collective the tuesday before Bonnaroo (pretty sure we're hitting that), Gogol in July and I wanna try to convince some people to go see The Orb and Crystal Method

[faxman75]

I will see Animal Collective live for the first time at Sasquatch. Maybe I should finally download that album everyone seems to love.

[faxman75]

I love so many of Wilco's lyrics. I'm now listening to a bootleg from april 22nd in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm convinced Nels just flips out on every single song at this point. At least that's what you said, is such a quiet and intense song and Nels just spazzes out on guitar at that end of it.

[miSTEVEious]

Nope. If it's not enough for the Sasha and Digweed ravers then it's not enough for us either. bonnaroo is awesome.

1. Last year's superjam was god awful, i heard les claypool was just wishing he were somewhere else. don't expect to see hutz back any time soon for the superjam...

2. 3rd phish set would rock! i bet it'll basically be that, plus a slew of special guests.

3. sasha and digweed were awesome!!!!! until like 6 am!!! wow. roo, how i love thee.

[TommyboyUNM]

I really like the album, but I'm still skeptical about their live show. I'm with you, Fax. There are no conflicts at Sasquatch so they have the opportunity to convince me. I had an open mind when I went into listening to the album, so I'm gonna have the same open mind with the live show.

Also, I finally listened to Middle Cyclone by Neko Case last week. It's pretty damn good. It starts off kind of slow, but by the 4th song it really gets going. I like my Neko Case sans country flavor and there are plenty of songs where she just showcases her voice. I think my favorite song on the album is either "Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth" or "Polar Nettles." I enjoyed the entire thing, though, and I can't wait to see her in Albuquerque later this month.

[miSTEVEious]

i would love an animal collective late night. i am also skeptical about their live show, but damn, speaking optimistically, if their live show is decent to very good, an animal collective late night would blow MINDS

Yep, even if it sucks i'm going to try and stick it out for the full show. It's only an hour i'm assuming so it can't be that bad. :)

Nice. Blacklisted is still my favorite and like I said yesterday John and Joey of Calexico contributed to that album. I'm not sure what my favorite track is on Middle Cyclone but I love "don't forget me" and "this tornado loves you".

I'm glad I finally get to see her again at Bonnaroo! I really despise the new Pornographers. She played with them last year at Sasquatch and I tried to watch only for her contributions but they are fairly minimal with that band like banging on a tamborine and joining in on harmonies. She really shines on her solo albums and i'm hoping she continued to improve with her live performance becaue that voice of hers is so rich and naturally beautiful.

[faxman75]

Speaking of female alt. country stars, when is Jenny Lewis going to make another album with the Watson Twins? It's easily my favorite work by her.

[amyzzz]

Just to put in my contrary 2 cents:
I won't be watching Bruce, and I am curious to see Crystal Castles (if no one decent conflicts). Isn't Bruce late night? I'll just sleep that night.

We don't. We are all going to be so excited to see eachother we will probably all just high five eachother until the line into the fest starts at whatever strategic hour we choose to begin our caravan. Then we will arrive, set up camp and sweat for hours until the sun goes down at which point the sky will close up with clouds and the thunderstorm will start for about 9 hours straight.

It's going to be quite an event! Once we see our favorite bands after being so exhausted form the elements the shows will be that much better and appreciated and the Roo Vibe will fill all our hearts with joy and love!!

I can't wait!

Zeez, we can sleep in the cars at the Wal-Mart on Wednesday night. And I'm sure there will be time for sleep when we're in the line of cars to get into the festival. It's all part of the Bonnaroo adventure.

I'm going to have to agree with Brandon on this one. It's the only track I deleted off my ipod from that record.

[amyzzz]

Sleeping in a car with several people seems rather uncomfortable to me. I guess I'll bring a bunch of benadryl to make me drowsy.

[Principal Onyx Blackman]

I cannot wait to see Al Green.

[sin213]

i may even unroll my sleeping bag on the ground in the parking lot zzzs...i'm with you in thinkin it's going to be hard to sleep upright in a car with others.

I take comfort in the fact that she didn't write it. If she plays it at Roo, Tommy gets a punch in the neck.

[sin213]

that'll just make tommy even more horny...heard he likes it rough... ;)

[hawkingvsreeve]

That slut.

[sin213]

so i've been catchin up on the thread and the superjam responses ya'll gave in response to my question about if it would be announced or not. what night is the superjam usually? is it the last night of the fest? or a jam each night?

[canexplain]

i may even unroll my sleeping bag on the ground in the parking lot zzzs...i'm with you in thinkin it's going to be hard to sleep upright in a car with others.

we had a camper, but yea, people just put their bags outside and crash for the few hours they can .... sometimes people are really hyped because the show is "just about to start", but get sleep when you can .... its all in how you do the fest .... cr****

[sin213]

i imagine i will be psyched for the show to start, but i'm with zzzs in that i'm gonna bring something to make me drowsy. if i plan to be active all weekend, i can't start with a sleepless night that doesn't involve being at a show.

[Blinken]

I know I will need some sleep since I am driving for 7 hours in line the next morning. I don't want to fall asleep in line.

[sin213]

7 hr line?? to get in?? wha??

[TommyboyUNM]

7 hr line?? to get in?? wha??


I know I've talked to you about this before, J. We waited in a line of cars for 7 hours to get into the fest last year. I didn't mind it so much. I mean, what else was I gonna do? We just walked around, played frisbee, slept, listened to music. We made it a good time. And we got into the campground with plenty of time to spare to set up our tent, walk around a little, and see the first band.

[Blinken]

7 hr line?? to get in?? wha??

Thats what I heard, the oldtimers can verify but it is a long wait on the freeway to get in.

Edit: thanks Tommy

[faxman75]

There has to be a way to avoid the 7 hour line. Can't we just head toward the entrance on Tuesday at like midnight or 1am or something and wait there? That way when it opens up we get a good spot. It's gotta be better than the walmart parking lot all night.

[Blinken]

Nope, first of all we won't be in TN on Tuesday. And more importantly if you go too early they will put you in the far back of the campground, I don't think any of us want that to happen.

[sin213]

so what time does music start thurs? like 6 or 7? guess its a good idea to get into line asap in the am. like 6 am or so?

[TommyboyUNM]

I don't know. Maybe. Go on the Infooroos and ask them maybe? Really wasn't a big deal, in my opinion. You just chill out for a bit and, all of a sudden, you're there.

[TommyboyUNM]

Music started last year around 5:30 I think. In that neighborhood. We were in line from 6am until 1pm.

[sin213]

wow. i'm glad chia's getting the car now..she can drive. :D

[miSTEVEious]

sin - superjam is saturday i think, and there's only 1 each year

[faxman75]

I see, I meant Wednesday night lol. I understand though.

[miSTEVEious]

and yeah the line in sucks, but it's not that bad considering your only alternative is sitting in the awful heat. and the heat is so much worse than coachella's it's not even funny. at least in your car you have AC!

[faxman75]

wow. i'm glad chia's getting the car now..she can drive. :D

Drive hahaha that's funny. There is no driving. It's sitting. ;)

[faxman75]

Uh oh, you did it now Steve. The great heat debate will now continue.

[miSTEVEious]

so i get a karma point today ....... steve i finally got out the dead tics .... they said fri or saturday at the latest yeaaaaa .... you can buy one of our friends from the bay a beer at one show and then when they come out to the rocks for a show they can buy me a beer .... yippee .... enjoy the show ...now i need to find pilgrams jimi vinyl i owe him and hummmmmmmmm ... and me broke lol .....cr****

you're fuckin awesome man. i owe you one.

[sin213]

yeah, but she can be responsible for paying attention and moving the car forward inch by inch while we sleep and play frisbee and take refreshing herbal walks in the countryside.

[sin213]

i'm prepared for the heat. i figure it'll be as hot as coachella....only with 90% humidity, which will kill me. but i gotta do the roo at least once.

[Mr. Dylanja]

The humidity just makes the sweaty man hugs that much better!

[TommyboyUNM]

Am I just a freak of nature in that I would much rather have humidity than the dry heat that just crushes down on me? I was way less tired at Bonnaroo than I have been at Coachella.

[sin213]

ewww. sweaty man hugs. i'll be goin for the high fives... kthx.

[sin213]

Am I just a freak of nature in that I would much rather have humidity than the dry heat that just crushes down on me? I was way less tired at Bonnaroo than I have been at Coachella.

ur a freak. i hate humidity and sweating profusely...

[rage patton]

As long as we don't end up in that far parking lot, I am prepared for a huge ass line to get it.

Just curious, how far is the Wal Mart we are sleeping at from Bonnaroo?

[TommyboyUNM]

I can tell you this much. I never avoided the 2 outdoor stages at Bonnaroo because it was too hot. I will avoid the outdoor stages at Coachella for that very reason.

[amyzzz]

Maybe this is a stupid question--are hats a good idea at Bonnaroo?

[TommyboyUNM]

Maybe this is a stupid question--are hats a good idea at Bonnaroo?


Yes.

There are no stupid questions, Zizzler. I'm just ecstatic that you're probably gonna go.

[faxman75]

I can tell you this much. I never avoided the 2 outdoor stages at Bonnaroo because it was too hot. I will avoid the outdoor stages at Coachella for that very reason.

I think the dry heat is more of a sun directly on you thing. The humidity really seems to drain me and make more uncofortable because of sweat. I always have preferred the dry heat to humid heat.

That said I would choose summers in Chicago over summers in phoenix for one reason. The weather changes in Chicago. It's not 100+ for 6 straight months. You get rain and cool weather at nights in chicago. In Phoenix you have a low of 80-90's or some shit in the middle of the night all through July and August.

Midwest humidity can be brutal when you are up over 90 degrees. Almost suffocating but you don't get that for day after day usualy. You might get a week of it but then it will rain and cool off and be nice and chilly at night.

[hawkingvsreeve]

This thing needs a good or even just decent mid-level dance act. Like, really bad.

Simian MD
Presets
Deadmau5
Boys Noize
A Trak
Booka Shade
Soulwax
Cassius

etc. etc.

Something. ANYTHING.

COME ON ROO. JUST 1 IS ALL IM ASKING FOR.

[miSTEVEious]

The humidity just makes the sweaty man hugs that much better!

BONER

[sin213]

the roo has never had much in the way of electronic/dance acts...presets would be awesome though!

[miSTEVEious]

As long as we don't end up in that far parking lot, I am prepared for a huge ass line to get it.

Just curious, how far is the Wal Mart we are sleeping at from Bonnaroo?

The wal mart is like 1 mile if my memory serves me correctly. like reaaaallly close.

[hawkingvsreeve]

I know, but they could cut two shitty no name country acts and use the money for just one more dance act. The people want to dance.


Edit:

I mean at this point having Oakenfold and Girl Talk is more of an insult than not having ANY dance acts.

[Blinken]

1 mile in 7 hours . . . 0.14 MPH average speed. . . wow

[rage patton]

The wal mart is like 1 mile if my memory serves me correctly. like reaaaallly close.

Oh seriously? That close? Well thats good.

So basically, the plan is we will all wake up at like 6am and drive in line?

I second this and on behalf of Feather I third it as well.

Give the Princess of PLUR some electro for crying out loud!!

[TommyboyUNM]

For some reason I thought Deadmau5 was rumored for Bonnaroo. I would really enjoy The Presets. The problem is they almost always put dance acts late night. That's when a lot of good rock bands hit the stage, too. So even if The Presets got added, I would still likely not see them.

which doesnt help either.... :nono

I think it's pretty equal, but the humidity FEELS a lot hotter. also chaffing is much more of an issue in the humid heat. regarding this:

SERIOUSLY THE BEST INVESTMENT I'VE EVER MADE FOR BONNAROO. god they are so good and so comfy. NO CHAFFING. Do me a favor and splurge the $20 bucks - you'll thank me profusely later. there's a bit more walking than coachella also due to there being like 8 times more campers.

anyways, i think the toll on your body is pretty equal, and the only plus i see to the humidity is that it isn't as deceptive as the dry heat. you can get a better gauge of how much water you're losing. because you lose a lot.

[faxman75]

The wal mart is like 1 mile if my memory serves me correctly. like reaaaallly close.

How are they that non efficient that they can't get a miles worth of cars into the entrance within 7 hours? How many years have they been doing this?

[Mr. Dylanja]

And by Princess I meant me :D

One of the clues was thought to be Deadmau5, I don't remember who it actually was but it was not Deadmau5.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Fuck Crystal Castles. That's that injury along with the insults already stated above. If they added a decent dance act I would go watch over a better rock band because of the rarity of such things at Roo. Gotta take those opportunities.

[faxman75]

Awesome. Do I take it you don't even need gold bond with these? I'll wear these and nothing else all weekend. Dylan gets the first sweaty man hug in these babies!

[TommyboyUNM]

1 mile in 7 hours . . . 0.14 MPH average speed. . . wow

The line doesn't start at the Wal-Mart, but there is significantly more sitting than there is driving.



Oh seriously? That close? Well thats good.

I think more like we all wake up at 4:45 or 5:00 and drive in line.

Seriously. The heat, the wait in line, the amenities at the campground, etc... are really not THAT bad. Don't expect to be hanging out at a resort, but you all are vets. You know what you're getting yourselves into. :)

damn...somehow that site got a pic of me in my underwear and are exploiting my body for profit... :nono

[Mr. Dylanja]

It takes so long because they do a thorough/time consuming check on each car going in.

[rage patton]

After dealing with all the bullshit I was put through at Pemberton last year, Bonnaroo is gonna be a piece of cake.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Happens to me all the time.

I need legal representation.

I had a completely different experience with the heat. Coachella really does FEEL hotter to me. But I will co-sign your second point. The chaffing is much more of a problem at Bonnaroo. I will invest the $20. Thank you.

Yeah, they are Nazis when you're driving in....

I'm really not sure why it takes so long. But I'll honestly get really annoyed and probably snap at one of you if you're complaining about it the entire time. Just a little warning.
