is this the most entertaining headliner season of all time? (Someone literally pretended to be pregnant to get scoopz a decade ago. Don’t pretend this shit comes close.)
This makes it sound like much more of a commitment than it was. They wrote an email. Or maybe called. They didn't shove a pile in their shirt and don some maternity wear or anything. Go to a couple of lamas classes. Steal a sonogram, maybe.

it wasn't much of a commitment, you're right, but man was it entertaining.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

That was during my lurking years but dang that was good stuff
That’s what has always bugged me ‘bout that movie. I have never in my life met someone that hates The Eagles.
Also Bonnaroo wouldn’t try/consider/think ‘bout bookin’ The Eagles, and just settle fer Stevie. If there’s a chance they can get ‘em they will do what it takes to book The (fuckin’) Eagles.

Path of Discussion:
On Friday night, people were getting mad about Arctic Monkeys. > but in the midst of all this, Alyssa finally set the record straight about *NSYNC. > meanwhile Miley Cyrus has some billboard and origin posted a mock > RooBus shares a link to a mock a Reddit rando made that causes people to debate if MUNA is popular or not > theo thinks Kendrick seems pretty unlikely. Keep this in mind because this is the post that made me consider if I needed to do an emergency recap on Saturday (thank god I didn’t! I took a nap instead) > No Phoemidx > meanwhile Miley Cyrus has some billboard > SZA is good vs no she isn’t > 🚨OH SHIT! OH FUCK! INFINITYPASS JUST CONFIRMED Kendrick Lamar!! 🚨 > browell scooped us all > people start scrambling to discuss what the order of this lineup could possibly be? (Well first of all the Eagles). are always going to be #1 so jot that down) > people roast pablo because they assume he said Billy Strings is bad; he later clarifies that’s not what meant. However, as the biggest Billy Strings hater on this board, I’ll clarify my position: fuck Billy Strings!!! all my homies hate Billy Strings > Alyssa leaks Alanis’s Bonnaroo 2023 slot > dblood posts a mock that has something called “eggy” on it
Late Saturday night, RooBus says “Brad Parker from C3 appears to be shooting down the Kendrick confirmation” on a post that gets zero likes > are you ready for a drama filled 24 hours? I sure am! > people immediately start ganging up on RooBus > Alyssa is mostly just happy about Kendrick Lamar > and Alanis Morissette > and Babymetal > and Evanescence > and Nine Inch Nails > and Nelly Furtado > honestly it’s a crime Nelly Furtado isn’t booked at more festivals. One of my favorite local Chicago bands, Pixel Grip, does a live cover of "Maneater" and it gets the crowd so incredibly hyped every time > anyway, people start really turning against RooBus for dissing infinitypass > also Tom hates music but that’s okay we can forgive him for that > somebody flipped through their tarot deck, drew the 4 of Wands, and gave us manders > Brad Parker is an Elon Musk guy > I’ve given a lot of personal commentary in these recaps, but add me to #TeamIP here > at 11 PM last night I was making some delicious ass cookies and yet I could’ve been on this board, shitting on Brad Parker, getting dozens of likes! bad move on my end
it’s Sunday now I guess > RooBus says he believes he believes infinitypass over Brad Parker but it’s too little, too late > and tristan and RooBus begin debating what IP said, which leads to > pablo correcting xfinitypass on how many spoiler tags he used to ‘confirm’ Drake. Thanks boo! > unfortunately, Brad Parker also loves Luke Combs (sorry, Andrew) > tranter comes for Channing Tatum’s Fantastic Asshole but honestly I like the guy so I won’t say anything here > Druid gets to the bottom of things > people discuss which type of Kendrick setlist they’d like to see (the setlist with the good songs, obviously) > postjack tries to do horseshoe theory on Brad Parker > I like a lot of JT songs but having seen him live I disagree with Alyssa here. Bonnaroo could do better than Justin Timberlake > finchdaddy makes a mock > I feel incredibly weird for saying this but I think I would rather see Green Day over Justin Timberlake at a festival?? > Brad Parker’s not booking the lineups but that doesn’t mean we won’t come for him > yeah Tyler Childers is good > if there’s anyone you want me to talk shit about these next few days are a good time to do so. Until then, good night everybody

It’s kind of funny the generator has picked multiple artists who were towards the bottom of their respective lineups and later became much more successful pop stars (Adele, Sam Smith, now Charli)

Path of Discussion:
tranter has seen god, and he’s manifested himself in the form of the 2023 Bonnaroo lineup > kind of. > manders makes a mock > an earnest discussion on Tipper > Turnstile’s out > there was no Roo Clue today, but there was a lot of discussion on what the schedule of the Roo Clues has been thus far and whether there would be one today or not and whether or not it’s a bad thing the schedule is inconsistent. but in a bit of dramatic irony, I know Franz Ferdinand got leaked today so I don’t care much > I hope the moms bdawg met today have a blast at the late night Tipper set > tame impala scoop war > postjack continues to try and bait people and it half works > DJJ gets no respect > cicinnasti and stringybill go back and forth on whether or not Greta Van Fleet is good. Meanwhile, I’m listening to Charlotte Gainsbourg’s Rest. Have you guys heard this shit?? Absolutely phenomenal. > stringybill also hates Goose > DJJ also hates Goose > “Deadly Valentine” just came on. All time banger imo > there’s a lot of potential drama about to go on but weirdly I’m not feeling it today. Maybe it’s more boring when it revolves around Goose? Idk. > in the best thing either of them have done this season, RooBus and Festive Owl leaked Franz Ferdinand. I will be 25% less mean about the Owl from here on out. > there’s a halfhearted go at instigating stuff surrounding RuntheRoo and use of the word “fraud” but I still don’t care. > Slipknot > the Teddy doing “Break Stuff” karaoke video gets reposted. An all time classic of the form! > Alyssa supports all buttrock at Bonnaroo. But what does she think about Charlotte Gainsbourg? > a lot of people crawled out of the woodwork today. It’s been weird. > but at least we got a ban on it, which was maybe the most exciting thing that happened! > people hate Ohio (the state) > the Ohio (the person) story gets shared > still don’t think Miley Cyrus is anywhere close to a lock, sorry! > nodepression and elpingu also come back as the Inforoo Greatest Hits parade continues > juggs reminisces on the good old days of Inforoo shithousery, which has mostly been reduced to running the word “fraud” into the ground > what happened to booty eating machine. What happened to wolfman jess. what happened to hiltons. Whatever happened to predictability
(feel like I need to call myself out here: I complained about the thread quality today but I wrote a four paragraph post on Roddy Ricch's current popularity in the Coachella thread. it's not like I was doing better.)
