Just thought I'd say that even though Alex gave a lot of people false hope last year Consequence of Sound is a damn good website. Always up to date and accurate 99% of the time. Also they gave me Pavement tickets.

That's cool and all...but I was hoping he'd be mixing some of the older stuff in more. I'm going to see him in 3 or so weeks in Asheville. I think the new album is pretty solid, but it's a little ridiculous even by Sufjan's over-the-top standards. I'm just not sure the electronic thing fits him as well as the neo-American folk troubador thing did. I appreciate both, but I think he's best served to put more of the focus of his music on his lyrics since he is such a great songwriter. Even Illinoise was almost too much for me. I like Seven Swans and Michigan a lot, where the songs aren't as extravagantly dressed up. Regardless, I'm still excited to see him and, hey, maybe the new songs will blow me away live as well.

Did you win the reader feedback contest??? Cuz I got 2nd and had my pick of the prizes (-the Pavement tickets).
But yeah, are you really going to blame them. They're called rumours for a reason. They never said, "Hey if you like Neil Young go spend 250 on a Roo ticket right now." I fucking love that website
There is also a "Daft Punk to headline Bonnaroo" link on that wall. I think he's saying that Jacket will be there but not headline, though. Speculate away, although as others have said, we really don't know if Alex is too much more reliable than some of the people we have right here on the board.

Yep that was me! Sorry to snag the ticket from you haha. Which prize did you pick?

He's not a direct source but I'd like to believe he's got enough connections to figure out more than the average person. How many people on this board have interviewed Ashley Capps?

That's quite alright. I got to see them at FreeFest, not knowing much about them before the reunion tour and loved it. I ended up taking the Chromeo prize pack.
Im sorry but I am in no way convinced that that would prove that Alex has any inside info even if it is true. MMJ is pretty much guaranteed to play this year.
Please yes. Especially as a headliner. But preferably anything.
Please don't misquote me, kind sir. I've just never been a fan of anythin' I've ever heard from them. I guess if they come ta Bonnaroo I'd be happy fer y'all who wanna see 'em, and happy that I have a block of time freed up fer other activities.
Yeah, I'm not claiming DCFC is good. I just liked a few of their records when I was 19 or so and as such, still have some weird leftover warm feelings for them, but they are definitely boring (I could see their live show being REALLY boring) and probably aren't a very good band.
Garageland, how you gonna hate on Muswell Hillbillies? I love that record.
I saw just a little bit of the set at Roo in 06, and not only, but my friend who was a fan, was adamant about leaving and getting ready for the night. Their music always grated on my nerves, really bad.
I can totally understand not liking Volta, so I won't go there (I've heard it all before from most people), but you cannot discredit Modest Mouse. Sure, the most recent album was really bad and Good News damn near turned me away as a fan, but Lonesome Crowded West, This Is A Long Drive... , Moon & Antarctica are all fucking great records.

I believe your right. New record coming out and skipping 09' & 10. They will be back this year.

I am really thinking that Jack Johnson will be back for 2011. He's always a crowd favorite AND has a new album out. One of my very favorite Roo memories of my three years is in '08, my first Roo, i got to see Jack and Eddie do constellations on a perfect summer evening with a beautiful full moon rising. I have that version on my phone AND Ipod and still every time i hear it i am immediately drawn to my happy place on the farm. :-)
So, it seems we have a rumor that U2 might be playing in Nashville on July 2. I've been reading through the comments on this post, and I agree that Vandy stadium is a bit small (Someone commented that it's a stadium only tour), that LP Field would make more sense since it has a high capacity.
BUT, if U2 were to pay at Roo at mere 3 weeks before this July 2 stop, the Vandy stadium idea doesn't sound as crazy. Smaller capacity (about 40,000) because Nashville is a small market, especially if they are playing an hour away three weeks prior.

I second this...Jack Johnson's music grates me in a way that no other music does. but to each their own.
