Not feeling suicidal or homicidal so you are all safe. Feeling a lot of negative vibes with this thread. 90% of the people posting in this thread are the jack?sses I avoid like the plague. Somebody needs valium.
This year marks my 10th Bonnaroo. Out of all the many music festivals I attend, I consider Roo to be the ultimate. The diversity, talent, and depth of the lineup, the late night sets, the remote location (meaning higher % of true music fans letting loose away from it all), and the camping (no responsibility of getting offsite back to a bed each night) and community created make for an unparalleled adventure.
One thing I have learned over the years is that the more time you spend exploring the lineup, the better. There have been many bands over the years I missed at festivals just because I didn't yet know them at the time (and I am kicking myself for it now). With 140+ band on the lineup from across genres, there are all kinds of wonderful artists just wanting for you to discover them.
I present to you these continual DJ mixes. Much more than just a playlist, this is a 3D musical journey. My goal is to recreate what it is like to walk around Centeroo, simply no better feeling for this music fan.
Last years Bonnaroo sessions brought over 1000 streams and 200 downloads. I'm a little late to the party this year due to some equipment issues, but still plenty of time left to join in the fun.

More mixes will follow, have 2 more already mixed just needing editing, plus 1000 songs still remaining from the 1700 I had of artists playing Roo.
Sadly, home, work, and ball practice behind me since Hangout. Sunday was a chill and short day. Best Coast was a good beach band. Enjoyed them much more than Bonnaroo a couple years ago. Grouplove ended up being my festival closer. Good but not great. They have some good songs but seems like they are trying too hard. Overall, Hangout gets an A from me. Definitely more of a beach party than a music lovers paradise. But its a helluva beach party. And some great music. Met some amazing new people and ran into some old festival friends. Awesome watching our kids play and jam together. Interesting to see so fewer kids than my two previous Hangouts though. I wish more families would embrace a great music festival on the beach.
I am all about good vibes for all. I agree Dooshes are making an astonishing rise to power. I had to be one in 2011 at the Emienem show. That's only after dealing with a few jack?sses that wanted to be aggressive with me. After that yr I lost faith with Roo. Thought about spending my cash at another festival

I'm probably going to get laughed at, but I really have this new Vampire Weekend album a shot, and I just don't get it. It's definitely not bad, but I dunno... I'm just not impressed.
Anyway, the big ones for me have been Jim James and Deerhunter.
I've only heard two of Kanye's songs but it's probably already my favorite album of the year.
I am rolling solo in GA. I have an extra popup if its needed. its a cheap one. I have loaned it out in the past to roo neighbors that didn't have sun protection. What is needed for camp roo.

gotcha, thanks.
I almost exclusively browse internet forums through the "recent threads" function. If there is a specific thread I am trying to find I usually just do a google search, like this if I was trying to find the Hangout thread. As such I rarely actually click into specific forums, so I don't even notice this type of stuff.
note: not using LMGTFY to be a smartass as use of that site usually implies, just because its a convenient way to demonstrate a google search.
haha! great link. I've never seen that site before so it cracked me up.
If you're a ballcap wearing kinda dude, Academy sports has those LED headlamps that clip on to the bill of your cap.
for christmas my mom bought me a cap with LED lights built in, you just push a button under the bill to activate the LEDs. There is a pair that shoots forward for walking, and a pair that shoot more under the cap, probably good for looking through your bag or otherwise identify objects you are holding.
Haven't had much use for it yet, but she bought it specifically with dark festivals in mind, so I'm looking forward to breaking it out at Roo.
It would also be nice to see Camden Yards showcased in the WS
This has pretty much been my dream since I was a kid and I would lose my shiz should the O's ever make it to the World Series. Pretty sure I would either cry or punch a hole in the wall if they lost though, or both.
That dream is looking less and less likely, at least this year.
I honestly don't know what subforums you all are referring to.
