Just got this early Valentine's Day present (as much as a press release can be a VDay Present). So many great bands we may not even miss MMJ (okay, we'll miss 'em). Tickets on sale 2/23 at noon.

We're just a day away from an official Bonnaroo lineup announcement, but we're gonna get another jump start on the irresponsible rumor-mongering 'cause, well, that's what we do.
We know The Police are headlining, and the latest alleged-lineup we've come...
So, we broke even. Transposed down to suit Sting's vocal cords, spaced out for the benefit of the young, drug-loving generation next, The Police celebrated the 30th anniversary of "Roxanne" by playing "Roxanne." Stewart looked awfully spry with his traditional-gripping.

Forget Coachella (Chili Peppers?
!) -- the real buzz festival, again, is Bonnaroo. This e-mail's making the rounds, and while we're skeptical, remember Radiohead's farm gig was almost too good to be true too.
Sources close to the Manchester Times have recieved...
I'm not quite done with my Bonnaroo coverage, but I promise I won't let it drag beyond tomorrow. Some of you asked how Radiohead were. To be honest, I was sort of distracted.
As hinted at in a previous post,...
Mr. Petty lit it up at Bonnaroo, so we had to let you get an earful of the whiskey-blues of "Saving Grace," the lead single from his new solo album Highway Companion (out 7/25). Stream it here: WIN | QT.

Special shoutout to Beck and his band of puppety oddballs.
Beck had one of the most entertaining mainstage sets, incorporating lip-synching puppets and a video clip satirizing Bonnaroo culture ("The enzymes you can get from fresh fruit are so … epic."..

Hey kids. Lots of craziness since my last Bonnaroo update.
Let's start with Friday afternoon. A press conference with Jim James, Lewis Black, Ben Folds, Robert Randolph and Jack from Steel Train featured lots of left-field questions (i.e.
, "What's your...
Some footage from the best act Stereogum's seen so far. My Morning Jacket took over That Tent Friday at midnight with a blazing set heavy on Z cuts and covers (the Who, the Stones, the Band). Rock's best kept secret.
..
Last night Tom Petty The Heartbreakers headlined the main stage for a rousing 3+ hour set heavy on the hits.
One of the Clap Your Hands guys tipped me off that Stevie Nicks was gonna join in (she's touring...
Live from Manchester, Tennesse, it's Friday afternoon. Thanks to the folks in the AT T Blueroom, I can file a Day One 'Roo report. Last night was slim pickings obviously -- most of the notable bands that played will have other.

Last year at the 'Roo, there was some mumbling in the press tent that attendance was down .
.. that someone died .
.. that flash floods were coming.
Well, that was all true, but this year Manchester, TN is the place...
Not a total departure from Roo's hippie roots, but it's nice to see Radiohead and Tom Petty headlining instead of Trey, Dave, and the ubiquitous Warren Haynes. This will be my third Bonnaroo; Stereogum's highlights from last year's fest here..

Some photos that were left out of VH1's roundup, so ONE more Bonnaroo 2005 post (and two MP3s).

In this photo he and Gordo are...
Check out the article photos. Forgot to mention Bo Bice..

Didja miss me?
I tried to see as many Bonnaroo bands as possible. It's hard 'cause they all play at the same time. Fortunately I ran into my friend Stacey who lemme hitch a ride on her golf cart.

Everyone's making fun of me for going to Bonnaroo. It's a "hippie festival" they say.
Look at the line-up, though -- there's plenty of patchouli-free rawk! Wanna meet up in Manchester? E-mail me.

Last post for a while.
Here's a bunch of unrelated things...
While I'm in Tennessee you should check out these AWESOME shows. I'm not just saying that 'cause they're my friends' bands: Argentine Friday 11:00 @ Siberia Ladyjane Saturday 11:30..

My coworkers are making fun of me 'cause it's a hippie fest. But they're wrong.
There are some bands I'm really excited to see: Yo La Tengo, Grandaddy, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, David Byrne, Bob Dylan...
If anyone has any...
