Janelle Monae was fucking magnificent last year. One of my favorite performances. I like how wide your musical taste it. It seems like you just listen to what sounds good to you.

This year, I need to do at least one of those things.
OCMS did Roo in '11. There were a lot of people scratching their heads walking away wondering why they never played Wagon Wheel though.
I was there and they did play it.
Wow, you're right. Flashback... I recorded it from the right side of the stage, I don't know what I was thinking. My brother was screaming so loud that my ears hurt... Maybe I can find the video and share it...

I'm going to Shaky Knees and can't decide if I want to see the Pixies without Kim or not. I saw them when they did the Doolittle tour a few years ago when she was still with them and it was amazing.
(Nursing school doesnt offer much time off other than summers)
Bon Iver, City and Colour, Local Natives, Death Cab, Purity Ring, and Kendrick in particular 
Did you catch City and Coulor at Roo last year? Loved that set.
