For those of us with a couple years of Roo experience, I'm sure we've all had those days where we're woken up by the hot TN sun after a late night and while some quality act is playing, all you want to do is lay back and listen from a comfy spot off on the side.
So my question is, who'd be your most wanted lazy Sunday afternoon act?
My suggestions: Fleet Foxes Fiona Apple or (wishful thinking) Paul McCartney
Bob Marley (not possible, but if it was yeah....Reggae is good start up music). Kevin Drew Philip Reilly Stendek--check him out if you haven't www.myspace.com/stendek
I like the Fiona Apple suggestion...I just think it is time that she shows up at Roo period.
I'll tell you what ISN'T great wake up music... Flaming Lips. 9 O Clock on Sunday, our neighbors are blasting Yoshimi... my ears damn near bled, so I ran off to the Which Stage to wait for Orchestra Baobab.
So, I guess it's cool... Flips got me on my ass and away from the campsite and in front of a stage for a great show.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it

Dr. Dog is great. First saw them open for Apollo Sunshine a while back, hell of a show.
And I also dig the Ray Lamontagne suggestion... Looking forward to seeing him at Mnt. Jam. Btw, his Meg White song is hilarious.... hell of a drum beat.

Laying around on a hot sunday afternoon after a weekend of crazy late nights sounds like the perfect time to listen to Yonder (don't know why), Iron & Wine, Jose Gonzalez, or a nice folk band.

It IS time she showed up. Her website did send me an email saying expect new things in '09. I would be extra happy to see her.
Dr. Dog opening the Other Tent Sundy morning to a crowd of like 30 in 2005 was about the best Roo Sunday Morning I can recall.
We were there!
I also sign off on the Ray LaMontagne and Damien Rice suggestions but when I first saw the title of the thread I thought that it was about music to help you get up-and-at-em. For that I vote Katrina and the Waves' "Walkin' on Sunshine" - it doesn't get peppier than that. (Picture either Jack Black in High Fidelity or Felicity Huffman on Sports Night.)
